  1. Any Single Moms, Out There With Some Advice

    hypnotic_nurse replied to dream8's topic in General Nursing

    My research jobs have all been family-friendly (I've had 4 different jobs in this field now in 15 years), even to the point of being able to bring children to work (depending on patient load that day...

  2. Burned out and feeling trapped

    hypnotic_nurse replied to USNRN309's topic in Government, Military

    I've never worked in one of the services, but I have worked in a difficult job that I could not leave due to circumstances. So you might try this: Write down all the reasons you like your job (add to...

  3. Depression and Antidepressants...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Monkey_Man's topic in Nursing Career

    No one has ever asked me what medications I take. And Zoloft does not show up on screens for drugs of abuse, because it is NOT a drug of abuse. You would be surprised how many of your coworkers...

  4. How hard is it to adjust to working overnight?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Karen06's topic in General Nursing

    I started a second job when my daughter started college (gotta help pay for those tuition bills). It's 11-7, 2-3 Satudays/month. I've had no particular problem adjusting and my "real" job is 8-5 M-F....

  5. Is it all worth it?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    You are halfway there. This is the big muddley middle, when you can't really see where you started from, you can't really see the end in sight, and it's soooo much work. This is the most depressing...

  6. Oh no!!! Please HELP!!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Making you freak out is the university/college way. This won't be the last time, I betcha. (I've worked at universities for the past 15 years so I KNOW what they put the students

  7. Another TV show villifying Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Nurseboy1's topic in General Nursing

    It's like the rest of TV. It's too much trouble to find out what we REALLY do, and they figure people would probably find it boring. So only bad stuff/racy stuff/sensational stuff gets shown -- just...

  8. Amendment 3

    hypnotic_nurse replied to michelle95's topic in Florida Nursing

    Is that really a bill??? If so, and it passes, Florida will have few docs, and every OB pt will get a

  9. Any "C" student graduates???

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Dublin37's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Heather, if it happens that a BSN or an ADN won't work out for you, you CAN go for an LPN and then bridge over. Two of the students in my class who failed in our first semester of nursing school went...

  11. What is appropriate?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to kat29's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is probably better if you contact social services at the hospital and see if they have someone who could drive her, or you could contact a senior center, or a church. Or you could arrange a cab for...

  12. Real Life Advice, Please....

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Janice, do you have something you rest your feet on at work? That might alleviate the back pain (lol, I kept trying to write "aleve" and it just didn't look right! I must be

  13. I am finally done! NCLEX-RN time...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am so glad your daughter was OK (very scary!). Isn't it wonderful to be

  14. Opinions, please: "Weeding Out"

    hypnotic_nurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Less desirable -- those who make more money? The ones the docs think aren't as cute? Those who won't work holidays? What a weird way to put

  15. Real Life Advice, Please....

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Please, if you are feeling this way, see your therapist again. I can tell you that there will be SOMETHING to look forward to -- even if it is not marriage etc. And when you are feeling less anxious...

  16. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    hypnotic_nurse replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

    I've known people like this woman as well. She is lacking something or she wouldn't be trying so hard to convince you that she has everything. Tune her out, ignore her or actively avoid her -- she is...

  17. Were you your family's caregiver growing up?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    We had a family tragedy when I was 17. Although my family had been pretty functional prior to that, mom and dad both withdrew from life in different ways (dad became extremely religious and mom was so...

  18. Univ. of Pennsylvania Hospital gets tough with drug firm reps

    hypnotic_nurse replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    At one psych department I worked for, reps were banned from leaving any goodies. Yes, the university provided pens for us, but those drug rep pens are the best...I did miss them. I do understand the...

  19. Vaginal exams: Forcing finger through cervix?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to keeper's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ANY nurse, male or female! :wink2: (Just being equal

  20. BS w/RN vs BSN vs BA w/ BSN

    hypnotic_nurse replied to SusanJean's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd imagine for both of you, that it depends on the school. As for ADN vs. BSN as far as pay, I actually make more than the BSN counterparts at my job (I have an ADN) because I am really, really good...

  21. I have a weak stomache

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Future_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I was like you when I was your age! I got sick at funny smells, the sight of blood (I passed out a couple of times), etc... Trust me when I tell you that you can get used to anything. Even if you...

  22. neuro exam in spanish

    hypnotic_nurse replied to anc33's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    There are also a good number of specifically medical English/Spanish translation books. My favorite was one that had wire loops (like a notebook), which made it easy to flip through pages and it...

  23. Do you take the flu vaccine?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to darla80's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic
