    mama.RN replied to ALHRN11's topic in General Nursing

    mama.RN replied to kaurb22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mama.RN replied to Beverly1982's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. Seeking experiences with bookrenter.com

    mama.RN replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    mama.RN replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting article on the topic, see below....includes how a surgeon views and approaches the issue. I think accommodations could be made. This could include the individual coming to work earlier,...

  11. When's the doctor coming in??

    mama.RN replied to martymoose's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. Is this a common attendace policy?

    mama.RN replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    mama.RN replied to guyna's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I do not believe in God, but did notice that the OP posted in "Nursing and Spirituality" which is an appropriate place to voice one's beliefs. If this were a workplace, or even a different forum, I'd...

  15. Should I ditch the pinning ceremony for a possible job?

    mama.RN replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

    I'd go to the open house. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't even waste the money on my pin. It's just been gathering dust since I got it, the actual ceremony took about 15 minutes. Anyway, as...

  18. The Importance of Backing Up Your Work

    mama.RN replied to Rose_Queen's topic in General Students

    Agreed, very important. I say this as someone who still can remember the horror of losing a good chunk of a completed senior thesis many years ago (non-nursing) due to a computer virus and having to...

  19. Transgender Nurses - experiences/opinions

    mama.RN replied to Kaley1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mama.RN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

  21. Wallpaper or scrubs?

    mama.RN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I wore a patterned scrub top to work one day a few months ago. Brand new. A pt actually said, "What a pretty top....it would make a nice wallcovering." She must have noticed the expression on my face,...

  22. Can nurses have artifical nails?

    mama.RN replied to MissMiniPink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My point was that having long nails of any kind, meaning real or artificial, can be a bad idea. This was assuming that all artificial nails were long. As I've never had artificial nails, I'd never...

    mama.RN replied to wakeuptothesun86's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Just wanted to comment on the student loan aspect of this...you should be able to adjust the payments so that they aren't so much. I remember when I took mine out there were several options (e.g.,...

  24. Can nurses have artifical nails?

    mama.RN replied to MissMiniPink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Long nails of any kind are a bad idea as they harbor disease-causing organisms. I was taught this back in nursing school. My nursing instructors used the example of a local world-renowned children's...
