    I agree with almost everything above in PP's. Y'all said it a lot better than I could! I agree about having a witness there as the guy sounds like he could be slippery. OP I am hanging on the edge of...

    I must say, neither are quite as I had imagined they would be! The 'man' looks like a drawing from my 3 y.o. niece, or a cartoon rendition of "The Scream/Home Alone". ....and the rabbit? It looks like...

    Is it significant in any way that I can find neither the "man in the moon", not the Rabbit that the Chinese say is what is depicted on the visible surface of the moon? Could you possibly illustrate on...

    Yeah, what about those tribesmen who wear elaborate facial and eye make-up.....they end up looking like VOGUE models; and they do it to attract a wife! PS: Oh, yeah, I took the test and my brain is...

    Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    A washpan in place of a bucket in a BSC? HA! I had a 97 y.o. male patient upon whose anatomy gravity took it's force, and he had to have an extra-DEEP bucket for dangling room; the shallower ones did...

    What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grew up north of Boston and went to school in Cambridge, Mass. Brusque was a way of life in New England. Saw a picture of a woman's face in a magazine once, and underneath it said, "Is this woman...

    nursing school THAT hard?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to happytypingirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the age of 19-turning-20, I had no relationships/family/life situations; I lived in a dorm with other nursing students and we each had a private room. I think that made it less stressful all the...

    nursing school THAT hard?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to happytypingirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd study by re-writing my class notes. It was generally all the studying I required. I found that by watching my hand record the information, I was printing it on my mind, as well. I could close my...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to spierre's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    OP's husband is what used to be referred to as a "crazy-maker". No matter what you do, you are wrong, you are not doing it right. You are 'stupid', or maybe a '*****'. "Don't you GET it?" is a refrain...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Michellelove's topic in General Nursing

    "Niche" is just one of those trend words that come and go, like 'do your thing' back in the 70's; never heard of having a niche job until I came onto AN. I just wanted to be employed and get in as...

    The word 'bon' means 'good'. However 'BoN' doesn't mean good .....for the nurse. What you posted isn't even a cry for help; it is totally inadequate. Like the 'crazy person' walking down the street...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only kind of 'bullying' I guess I ever experienced was as an agency rent-a-nurse doing staff relief. It was pretty much a given that the agency nurse would be dumped with the worst assignment, the...

    When did this trend start??

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Never have heard of this trend nor witnessed it. It seems to me that the mere fact of graduating is a good excuse/reason to feel positively giddy, so what the heck. Plenty of time to "be professional"...
