    Epic_RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My 13 year old, Twilight-obsessed daughter overheard me telling the boyfriend about "biter nurses" and had a fantastic idea! This could be the basis for a new medical show -- Think cross between Nurse...

  8. The Mockery of Nursing

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, I've always wondered... if nurses eat their young (read DUMB) then how do any nurses become seasoned? And why aren't they eating the seasoned ones?? I think the seasoned ones would taste better...

  11. The Mockery of Nursing

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My middle child (6th grade now) had a 2nd grade teacher that hell on wheels when it came to neat printing. That has stuck with all of her students and my daughter has the prettiest, neatest printing...

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Holy cow, are you serious?? No cursive?? Coming from an entire family of teachers (as a nurse, I'm the black sheep lol) that is just appalling! I can see my educator ancestors spinning in their...

    Epic_RN replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My school had mock interviews in front of a panel made up of fellow students. Everyone had the opportunity to be both on a panel and the person being interviewed. It was a definite eye opener for us...

  16. Gloves & Allergies

    Epic_RN replied to raskol's topic in General Nursing

  19. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    Epic_RN replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I may be wrong here, and please correct me if I am, but I believe the poster who mentioned make up was referring to over doing it, not that all women should wear it. When I interview, my make up is...

  20. The Mockery of Nursing

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Epic_RN replied to i-njoy-being-a-nurse's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  23. The Mockery of Nursing

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Another thing I love about this thread -- it's teaching me what NOT to do as a new grad and to listen to those who have more experience so that I can become the best darn nurse I can. THAT is...

  24. The Mockery of Nursing

    Epic_RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not all of the posters on here are seasoned nurses... I am a new grad with years of medical experience prior to going for my RN. I do not take offense at the posts regarding new nurses, as I see a lot...
