    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, that is why I didnt respond after I got validation of what the OP was asking. This is one of those, "You had to be there." posts, the story has probably changed 5 times since we heard it,...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nursing Student with a Drug Addiction

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to VanessaLee13's topic in Nurses Recovery

  8. One confused LPN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to atlwright's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to a friend of mine (except she actually took the NCLEX, passed and didnt receive her license # until she gave them a letter from her lawyer). Each state may vary, but you will most...

  9. Questions about Nursing as a profession

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to NMonti's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this post 100%. I would like to add though that hospitals arent the only options, you can do primary care and be off holidays and weekends but those jobs are hard to come by and the pay...

  10. TCC to NSU or ODU

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to shyne77's topic in General Nursing

    Also keep in mind that she is a civilian and MAY use her husbands GI BILL. Finances are always a concern for me. And its been awhile since Ive been a MCI student, and they were also accredited when I...

  13. How do you handle the smells?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Aly529's topic in General Nursing

    Usually I rub some "smell good" under my nose right above my top lip, LoL! Once I was so desperate I used Ben Gay - EPIC FAIL, it burned but it smelled better than poop.

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I must admit this post by OCNRN63 did lead me to check other posts youve commented on and threads youve posted. ok, whats the question again? Im seriously off track

  15. Patients refusing assessments

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    First thing I thought was "How old is she?" and has she been raped. This may be the issue. Im sure someone has said "we cant give you the care you need if we cant do an assessment on you." If you cant...

  16. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, my friend was charge today. She was so frustrated when she called me (I guess from the CNAs attitude) that she probably hadnt really thought it through. Im going to text her and suggest she...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    If the forum is making you crazy, I suggest not reading it (or stick to the "Student forum") - finish school and make a decision based on actual nursing experience (not what you read). Seeing and...

  19. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I wasnt speaking in relation to my facility, I was saying in general. I will be honest and say, I have a bad habit of saying "many" when I should say "some" - I need to practice proofreading,

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously havent read a teachers forum, or any other profession for that matter. You have 2 choices, get out in the nursing world and judge it for yourself - or dont go into the profession at...

  21. The thing about 12 hour shifts...vent

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

  25. Feeling the Pressure

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to NrsNow's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Five&TwoWillDo. I think what you feel is totally normal. Transitioning from school to work is a new world and you will feel burnt out due to the workload. When I first started out,...
