    No Stars In My Eyes replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Here's someone else who actually knows where Greenfield Community College is! I don't know if they had a nursing program when I attended there in 1969; I 'flunked out' because I quit attending...

    When will the anxiety fade?

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

    You can turn anxiety to a plus if you use it to hone your skills instead of letting it beat you down. When I graduated from nursing school I was afraid of being afraid! I had seen classmates go into...

    Yep, I believe the free-flowing alcohol had a lot to do with it! Free drinks, dark corners and tired people= lowered inhibitions. What I wonder about is the regrets in the days that

    Not everyone finds it 'easy' to insert an IV! You could have a vein big as a garden hose and I would still not be able to get any form of IV needle into it right! I tried for many years to get the...

    This is not medically related except for the fact that I have found nurse's particularly to be guilty of it repeatedly over the years: Not replacing the empty toilet paper roll on the spindle with a...

    Bodies in / Bodies out. I have seen really terrific nurses get canned simply because of seniority and being at the top of their pay-scale. The facility can dress it up all they want, but the rationale...

    Never heard of a Biox, either. Esme, I loved your stories; I grew up north of Boston where we always referred to any carbonated drink as 'tonic' When I moved south, people wanted a 'cold drink'...
