  1. How do you do it?

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

    I agree. My 10 year old has chores, my 4 yr old not so much (other than picking up behind herself) and my 3 month old just refuses to do her share.

  2. How do you do it?

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

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

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

  12. Diploma, Associates or Bachelors??

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. Many of the hospitals who train the diploma nurses also hire them under a contract. Just like anyone they should be encouraged to continue their education. I only know a few diploma nurses...

  13. Diploma, Associates or Bachelors??

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeap there are still diploma schools. There are two hospitals in my area that still offer nursing schools and a diploma is what you earn. The schooling is shorter than

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    The doctors I work with are great, of course there is always a bad apple in the bunch BUT for the most part they're great. Honestly, some of the nurses I work with are worse.

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    idk, but of course she was in front of ME! and it held up the line - you could hear the other customers making noises like they were annoyed. Funny now, but not when you're hungry and on a time...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to anastasia158's topic in General Nursing
