  1. All I have to do is this paper and I graduate. Ughhhh!!! It is the biggest pain in the bum to complete 90 hours of interviews. The community health class was poorly organized, I felt not a lot of thought was put into the curriculum. The rest of the...
  2. Doctors treat us like...

    I work in a small suburban hospital as a RN. I work 2-3 shifts week per diem on a medical floor. I have a ton of experience. I choose to be a floor nurse so I could spend more time with my disabled child and other children before they forgot who ...
  3. Per-diem nurses

    I agree with you. This is why facilities walk all over nurses. Nurses do not support each other or stand up for their fellow co-workers. We just go home frustrated or leave the profession. We need to join and participate in our professional group...
  4. APA format software vs. Free Downloads

    For those of you who work in larger facilities check your hospital's library website to see if they use RefWorks. I was able to open my own account under my facility ( I did not have to pay for it) It is great for APA papers. It is a great a way f...
  5. I am almost finished with the Western Governors RN to BSN program. We were moving and I knew I could not start a program when I might not be in town to finish it. It was one of the most cost effective programs out there. I do feel it is a quality p...
  6. Should I be upset? Or am I a Diva?

    We just moved to a new state and I accepted a RN position on a Med Surg Floor. I am starting at the new grad pay, because I only have 6 months experience as an RN working in a nursing position in a hospital. I have another 1 1/2 years as a RN Res...

  9. remember when...

    I remember is was mandatory to wear the flying nun nursing hat. I was giving so much grief because I hated wearing it. It used to fall off into all kinds of messes, patients would pull at it and it would always get caught in the curtains.
  10. What does your username mean?

    U2BCool; My kids can't believe that I was cool at one time. With night shifts, diapers, school and the mini van I having problems finding the coolness.
  11. On the verge of being dropped from the program

    My friend that tutors high school kids for standardized tests gave me some useful information. She said that it looks like the student learns about diabetes and expects questions to be like: the normal glucose level for someone who is hypoglycemic i...
  12. Scared to take the first step to go back to school...

    I graduated from LPN school in 1992 and just started my first nursing LPN/RN class. I took a few pre-reqs at a time. I did not want to start with learning BPs etc. but my transition program expects the LPN to already have that knowledge. I am gla...
