    For pagan nurses, is "Happy solstice" the right expression?

    CelticGoddess replied to vetpharmtech's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Your experience with pagans appears to be rather limited. "Serious" pagans aren't always going to be open about their beliefs. I really doubt that ALL the pagans in your community are open about...

    Rising insurance premiums through work

    CelticGoddess replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Your original comment wasn't 100% clear. As far as having to ID a PCP on a medicaid application, we didn't have to do that when we applied for my son. He has one, has seen the same pediatrician for...

    CelticGoddess replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I have chronic migraine and I am able to function most days. Just because I am, doesn't mean I don't have migraine. THere are days that are particularly bad, I have been to the ED for relief, and I...

    Nursing school sucks!

    CelticGoddess replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    My advice to you is to just quit nursing school. You have used the "r" word to describe your instructors, you've described nursing school as "being raped" and wish cancer on your instructors....

    I took the registry for the ARRT (x-ray) in June of 1993 and I didn't get my results until about a week before my wedding, so late July. And if you got a big envelope, it contained your certificate...

    Just grin and bear it!

    CelticGoddess replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    My grandma and grandpa called each other "mother" and "daddy". It's a Hoosier thing (Which is why Mike Pence calls his wife "mother". OP: There isn't a whole lot you can do. I see this a a lot. I...

    Feeling Discouraged

    CelticGoddess replied to asingha19's topic in General Students

    Take a deep breath and try to relax. I don't really think you have derailed your whole future. YOu need to stop thinking like that, because it will not help you at all. You are able to retake the...

    Kicked out before even starting

    CelticGoddess replied to Confused_nurse2b's topic in General Students

    It's not stupid when you have multiple school vying for the same clinical sites. A school can't afford to lose a site because a student didn't get every thing in on time. The hospital my MD is...

    CelticGoddess replied to FutureNurse023's topic in General Nursing

    Report what you know, facts only and then just keep out of it. Trust me, keeping your head down when there is drama is the smartest thing to do. Do not embellish, do not add and do not allow your...

    Choking Hazard

    CelticGoddess replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, why stop at hand sanitizer! Caps on syringes, caps on vials, caps for IV's. Man, hospitals are dangerous places, I tell you. Good thing you have management (and mock reviewers) to help you see...
