    Silliest answer someone has said in class?

    duskyjewel replied to marvelmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a PP said, Europeans are less rigid than we are about alcohol in pregnancy, and we don't see massive fetal alcohol syndrome over there. My MIL was advised to drink a glass of wine every night...

    So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    duskyjewel replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    And just to preempt any more nasty, mean-spirited remarks from the moral high-ground dwellers who would never, EVER abandon their patients to go to a party.....you do not need to grow up nor are you...

    So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    duskyjewel replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    What a load of BS. I think you should tell your manager you're not showing up the day of the party and she can deal with that however she comes up with, because you just saw the schedule and it's...

    Night Shift Question

    duskyjewel replied to Believenovember15's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Whether you flip your schedule on your days off or not is up to you and your life circumstances. I have a family, so it's not an option for me. On days off, I sleep at night and interact with my...

    How to act on the orientation/first day of school?

    duskyjewel replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    Just be yourself. It's too exhausting to try and be anyone else. How should you act? Friendly and

    What does your username mean?

    It's from the lyrics of "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors. Do you hope to make her see you, fool? Do you hope to pluck this dusky

    Spanish for Healthcare Workers - Any Ideas?

    duskyjewel replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Here's my post from another thread: If the community colleges near you don't offer anything, Rio Salado is a fully online school, and while you would probably pay the out of state rate, you could...

    Another spanish for nursing question

    duskyjewel replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Rio Salado community college here in Phoenix has a two class series on Spanish for health care workers. I took 3.5 years of Spanish in high school/college and still remember a fair bit, but I never...

    Signing Off......

    duskyjewel replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Bottom line, though, you're there to get an education, not make friends. To me, one of the best gifts of getting older has been that I don't give two figs whether the popular kids like me or what...

    4th Chance after Bad Advice. Follow Up Letter Redemption Help Anyone?

    duskyjewel replied to ErisEDRN1Day's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Is it ever too late to say thank you? IME, no. You could email both with thanks for their time and helpfulness, and ask if a decision has been made on the position yet, and if not, when you might...

    Trying to get back into the hospital after staying home with the kids.

    duskyjewel replied to sarahaldean's topic in Retired Nurses

    That recruiter is a prejudiced witch, probably unloading her own issues all over you. Maybe after six years a refresher course would be a good idea and it's current effort you can put on your resume....

    Is This Bullying?

    Is This Bullying?

    Apparently I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning, because I read that as "Kentucky jelly" and was wondering what that was. ETA: Oh wait...it did say Kentucky jelly. Must have been a phone...

    Uncharted Water

    duskyjewel replied to ALNeuroNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Do it! You don't want to look back in ten years and wish you had. When you get back, look into hospice, LTC, private duty, school nursing, clinics, immunization pop up clinics.....there are so many...

    Drug Testing for Newly Graduated RN

    duskyjewel replied to ManNurse7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's still federally illegal as well. Just because the current "hip" administration chooses not to enforce those laws doesn't mean the next one will make the same choice. The lack of maturity with...
