    Wave Watcher replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    Do you have a nurse manager? Will he/she back you up in your situation? I know you don't want to make waves and you don't want to be talked "down" to but I would highly recommend you stand up to your...

  2. Nursing and homeschooling 3 kids

    Wave Watcher replied to chalsa's topic in General Students

    I went to nursing school and home schooled also. All learning does not have to take place "at home" or during conventional school times. For those who have home schooled before "get it", for those who...

    Wave Watcher replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Wave Watcher replied to Farawyn's topic in School

  7. What NON Nursing jobs are you "expected" to do?

    Wave Watcher replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I am expected to be bug patrol. Had a teacher call me to the room and tell me she had a lot of ants. I asked her if she calls a nurse to her own house when she has pest issues? She got the point. I...

    Wave Watcher replied to elomi18's topic in General Nursing

  18. Should I call off?

    Wave Watcher replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Nursing
