  1. Would wearing a sexy nursing outfit to a party disrespect the profession?

  2. Would wearing a sexy nursing outfit to a party disrespect the profession?

    drowningdaily replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am curious as to what makes all the staunch defenders of our profession so sure that the people in the event will assume she is a nurse in real life. When I see a girl in a sexy pirate costume I...

  3. It finally happened...crying on the way home

    drowningdaily replied to LLL01's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have three years experience. Second career nurse also. IT GETS BETTER! I promise. Every shift ends eventually. I still have bad days sometimes, but it's been a while since I've cried. Good luck....

  4. Job outlook in NJ

    drowningdaily replied to rujason79's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You can find a job in south jersey (around Cherry Hill), but it is tough. I know many people, including myself, had to start in LTC before getting into acute care. It seems to be easier if you have...

  5. Would wearing a sexy nursing outfit to a party disrespect the profession?

    drowningdaily replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Good grief. You are up to your eyeballs in bedpans and worse in your unflattering scrubs! Go cut lose and have fun. Owning your sexuality and expressing it in an appropriate place is a positive thing...

  6. ACLS before getting a Job

    drowningdaily replied to atucker86's topic in General Students

    I would recommend getting acls certified if you can afford it. I did right after nclex and it helped me. It shows initiative and a desire to

  7. Juvenile Arthritis or Down's Syndrome and Cancer?

    drowningdaily replied to Java Mama's topic in General Students

    As a mother of a child with rheum arthritis, I would tend to believe it is the RA child. Many of the meds my son has been on have had a black box warning for lymphomas and other types of cancers. I...

  8. JUST an LPN

    drowningdaily replied to new clinic nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I remember feeling clueless during my first code. RNs and LPNs both learn from their experiences. The more you see the more you learn and the more comfortable you will get. Take pride in your title...

  9. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    drowningdaily replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Fair enough. Maybe I should refrain from posting immediately after coming off a terrible

  11. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    drowningdaily replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just had an idea. What about home care? You usually just sign up with an agency. You could get started right away. May not be your dream job, but it will prevent a gap in your

  12. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    drowningdaily replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would suggest you review some grammar basics. I would review comma usage, run on sentences and the capitalization of proper nouns. It would, for the love of God, lend credibility to your

  13. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    drowningdaily replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This thread is crazy. Everyone on this thread has exercised poor judgement at times. Some nurses need to step down from their pedestal and reread OP. He wasn't asking for absolution or a ranking of...

  14. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    drowningdaily replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    Amen!

  15. Any Other Mid-Life Students?

    drowningdaily replied to kmundhenke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are never to old to follow your dream! I started school at 36. Became an RN at 39. I thought I missed out on my chance to have another baby, but my son turns one next month (I'm 42). Go for it....

  16. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    drowningdaily replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    By teaching her and assessing her ears you are now taking on responsibility and liability. If a child came in with ear pain at a pierced site, of course you would assess and treat if necessary. But,...

  17. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    drowningdaily replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    So true. Earring insertion is accessorizing and NOT

  18. Complete surprise, in a good way, LTC experience so far

    drowningdaily replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Congrats on finding a job you love. I have been "1/2 a nurse, not a real nurse, and a babysitter" for two years according to some of my acute care colleagues. I don't care. I love subacute rehab and...

  19. I apologize..

    drowningdaily replied to letsbefriends's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good luck with your new

  20. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    drowningdaily replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    Speaking from my experience with school nursing, I have to agree with OP. I don't think it's a matter of being annoyed by a child asking for help. I have been in at the end if the day with a line of...

  21. Another run of the mill "did I violate".

    drowningdaily replied to hhnurse0407's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It sounds like she was happy to share. I actually have cared for neighbors and former teachers and it is a challenge. I now work several towns away, which has simplified

  22. No, I'm Not a Beauty Shop!

    drowningdaily replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    No need to feel bad. That teacher was wrong to send her to your office in the first

  23. I apologize..

    drowningdaily replied to letsbefriends's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I started my career working for a dreadful don who was so bad she was asked to resign. I left and felt like a failure. I also felt guilty for not doing enough for my patients. Please know it gets...

  24. Another run of the mill "did I violate".

    drowningdaily replied to hhnurse0407's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think in the grand scheme of hippa this is minor. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Just chalk it up to a lesson
