  1. I'm experiencing jet-lag, any tips on how to adjust my sleep pattern?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Wheaties's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Brenda-RN,BSN, WA.'s topic in Oncology

  19. When in uniform?!?!?!?!?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    It was wonderful to pay for school as I went (I graduated in 2001 -- I really haven't been a nurse that long). And more wonderful still not to have any student loans to be paying on now (especially...

  24. Does This Place Exist?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    KUMC psychiatric research. You can't ask for better MDs, DOs, RNs and staff, or better interaction. A tremedous place to work. I don't work there anymore (had to move out of state) but I truly loved...
