    Jury Duty

    poppycat replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in exactly the same position right now. I received a summons on Thursday that I have to appear on a Monday @ 8:30 a.m. at a courthouse almost 2 hours from my home. I sent a certified letter...

    Cutting

    poppycat replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    Farawyn is absolutely right that the cutting usually opens up a bigger can of worms. I know with myself there was a lot of stuff inside that I had no one (at that time) that I could confide in...

    Customer Service Surveys Have Run Amok

    poppycat replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I just remembered the PG survey that's my biggest headache. I see my psychiatrist about every 3 months. A week or so after my office visit, I get the survey. It's actually from the hospital system...

    Jensmom, I love puppies, monkeys, & babies but some things just should NOT be combined. Maybe this is someone's idea of what could happen to a baby if mom has Zika

    Customer Service Surveys Have Run Amok

    poppycat replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree about Amazon. I've never had a problem with any of the sellers I've dealt with from Amazon. It's definitely my favorite place for online

    Customer Service Surveys Have Run Amok

    poppycat replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The one I really love is Amazon. They keep asking me to rate my experience with whatever seller I bought from. Every time I try to submit a rating or comment, though, I get an automated response...

    Cutting

    poppycat replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    flying_ace2, First of all ((((hugs)))). I think you should submit your story as an article. We could all probably learn & understand this problem better. I'm sorry you haven't been able to find...

    Cutting

    poppycat replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    As a former cutter, I can tell you it is very complex. When I cut it was for 1 of 2 reasons: to release pain or to see if I could still feel because I felt dead inside. It's far too complex to just...

    I'm sorry to hear about your father, margin. My dad passed away almost 3 years ago on Good Friday. I'm not sure the pain of the loss actually lessens but you learn how to cope with it better as time...

    PICU Interview - Panicking

    poppycat replied to Spoiler's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about them asking in depth clinical questions. They will know you're a new grad & have no experience. It's great that you're starting your job hunt

    Depending on what type of specialist it is, they might just be swamped. For example, in my (very large) suburban area there are only 3 rheumatologists so when I was first referred to one several...

    poppycat replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that I'll be doing some rehab for a while thanks to having yet another stroke. This is number 5 in 20 years! The only good thing I can say is that, so far, the worst I've had is...
