  1. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to clump all posters together with the couple I was frustrated with. I know the majority of people offered the best advice they could to someone on a message board...

  2. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    According to many of our posters here, I'll bet if he had just gotten a grip on himself and stopped with this woe is me act he would have been fine by

  3. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at least I can bet my bottom dollar you and earle58 are not mental health

  4. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I know exactly what you mean. It is just sometimes hard to not get caught up in what others appear to be and to stop and appreciate what you do have. My kids are healthy. Deep down I realize...

  5. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Bluesky before I answer you I just want to address some of the others ragging me up one side and down the other (don't try to back peddle now I know exactly what you mean by what you were saying)Hot...

  6. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, it didn't start as a depression thread at first (though in a roundabout way it was about depression) but it kind of ended up getting into a depression discussion. It is just the...

  7. A question about Diploma Nurses

    LadyMadonna replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    I contacted that hospital in Memphis. They had told me they were not accepting applicants for the diploma program anymore because it was closing

  8. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    No, Zen is not right. Zen is Archie Bunker reincarnated. I've tried all that spiritual holistic reiki yoga organic tofu pyramid hat business and was none the better for it. Even the shrink I am going...

  9. A question about Diploma Nurses

    LadyMadonna replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it really stinks that the years of effort don't account for much in the nursing world (I was a history major before I seriously got into nursing and all those history classes I took won't count...

  10. Can you believe this? 13yo and mom both pregnant

    LadyMadonna replied to seanymph's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is worse (and it doesn't just happen in the rural south) is when a young woman comes in and you find out the father is also the grandfather, or the brother is also the father...that makes it REAL...

  11. A question about Diploma Nurses

    LadyMadonna replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    The school you are going to sounds like the one I'm going to (in LR, Arkansas) only I'm doing the 1 yr. LPN to RN track. I don't believe a BA in English will matter, around here they hire associate...

  12. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Straight from Archie Bunker! People who have truly suffered from depression can't just "get over it" or "get a grip"! It's like Vietnam, if you weren't there you couldn't have known what it was really...

  13. about injections: are filters important for ampuled drugs?

    LadyMadonna replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I envy you so much! CRNA...is it as hard to get into CRNA school as they say it

  14. about injections: are filters important for ampuled drugs?

    LadyMadonna replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    We don't use them at the facility where I work, either. In fact...until two years ago they were using BAR soap on the

  15. Am I the only one to feel this way?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Darn it Zen if it was as easy as you say it is there wouldn't be any depressed people in the world. I think when I saw this woman in the store (she is one of those naturally beautiful women, doesn't...

  16. A question about Diploma Nurses

    LadyMadonna replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    If income is your main concern the nursing home should be your best bet anyway. Nursing home LPNs here make more than hospital RNs (and nursing home RNs make more than hopital RNs we well, the nursing...

  17. A question about Diploma Nurses

    LadyMadonna replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    No, it isn't the same job, and until I started school to be an RN I did not appreciate the difference. I also graduated with honors from the LPN program, it didn't help me get any better of a job than...

  18. Goin' crazy wanna come along??

    LadyMadonna replied to crispix's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Karen! Your post sounds like something I could have written! I have suffered from depression for years(since I was in about the third grade, I never realized the feelings I felt were depression...

  19. Health care crisis......medical professional drive up wages

    LadyMadonna replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    I heard a woman in the store ranting to another woman because health care costs were so high. She blamed nurses, said she knew a nurse who made $35 an hour which was obscene for a nurse. I don't know...

  20. "A monkey can be trained to do what you nurses do"

    LadyMadonna replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    I saw a doctor jerk a chart out of a nurses hand and fling the chart down the hall. Of course she was the one who had to go fetch

  21. Terri Shiavo Case

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Terribly sorry to have drug this topic up again. I think her husband is probably a creep. I saw a commercial for the Oprah Winfrey Show and he was on there, it looked like pretty somber meeting but I...

  22. accused of not passing meds (long)

    LadyMadonna replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    This seems kind of petty and nit picky to me, but I would put in my notice. If your bosses claim they don't trust or believe you and continue to have you work there what does that say about them? I...

  23. Has a patient ever described a Near Death Experience to you?

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    These stories are so poignant. I wish I could talk to my dad again too. He died when I was 17 (I'm 29 now) from complications from his second triple

  24. face to face with death

    LadyMadonna replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely think being a nurse who works with dying people gives you a better handle on death and dying. I've seen gloom, I've seen despair, I've actually been relieved for a person who has died...

  25. Tuition Remimbursement

    LadyMadonna replied to mollyz's topic in General Nursing

    If you decide to go into nursing... Be nice. Kiss butt and you won't have much to worry about, especially considering that if anybody sues anybody they are going to go after the folks with the money...
