  1. Most RN's first borns?

    Diahni replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Diahni replied to kendel's topic in Nursing Career

    Kendel - it's your life - if you are able to try both, you'll probably be even happier about your decision to take one or the other job when you have more information. Let's face it, you don't know...

  5. Nursing and Chronic Back Pain?

    Diahni replied to caringkat's topic in General Nursing

    Valanda - I like putting one foot up on a stool while I'm at the sink. Leaning over a bed that's too close to the floor is awful. If it feels bad to your body, it probably is. Here's a fantasy -...

  6. Nursing and Chronic Back Pain?

    Diahni replied to caringkat's topic in General Nursing

    Situps and stretching the back muscles is essential. I can get a back ache from washing the dishes if I don't do them. Since you are still healing, be careful! Why not see a physical therapist to be...

  9. Bored To Death!

    Diahni replied to Pianoforte's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nancynurse, yep, there's room for us all, isn't there? Nursing has a spot for all personality types. Even better, nursing jobs will never be outsourced - how could they be? Or maybe I'm kidding myself...

    Diahni replied to Pianoforte's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BPPITT, Don't see your new post here - I do think you have a healthy attitude about work - we all gotta eat. Even the most glamorous job will get routine. No matter who you are, it's always something!...

    Diahni replied to Pianoforte's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Diahni replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    CardiacRN, yeah, you got 'em after all the burgers, too much tv, no exercise. Some people are unlucky and get sick anyway, but many of us have to eat the carrots and walk so we don't end up on your...

  16. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    Diahni replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    Oh right! you reminded me that Alli is like Zenical. Ugh. Which is worse, ingesting a few more fat calories or getting fat soluble vitamin deficiencies. That stuff is truly vile. We all gotta shut up...

    Diahni replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

  19. Don't wanna always give baths, clean up feces, etc., where to work?

    Diahni replied to WannaBCRNA's topic in General Nursing

    To quote a nurse friend, "If you can't deal with body fluids, get out of nursing." That said, there are lots of careers in nursing that don't involve poopy. But you have to pay your dues in med surg...

    Diahni replied to WannaBCRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Lyn The cna thing sounds like a very good idea - why waste your time and money in nursing school if you are going to run out screaming? Now, will you please tell me why all the cnas disappear when the...

    Suesquatch - 'nuther thing - I find coffee to work as well as ritalin any day. Yeah, I was a little miffed about the doctor giving me antibiotics I didn't need. Then a nurse friend "reframed" the...

  24. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    Diahni replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, Suesquatch - I didn't mean to presume any political leanings. It's just that I do, however, presume that the motives for hastily approved drugs and companies such as Haliburton and Blackwater...
