    Glycerine82 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's never a good idea, you don't want your boss to know details of your life that could easily get posted on FB. I'm always asking family/friends not to put pics of me up unless their profiles are...

    Attention med/surg/floor nurses

    Glycerine82 replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to work L&D because of the psychotic, screaming, laboring Mothers, the kids and babies I'd do all day long. I'd rather talk to 17 demented husbands of my patients than one laboring...

    Pain Seekers

    Glycerine82 replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to get on my soapbox again. Part of the problem is how so many of us view "drug seekers". If they ARE addicts, they have a disease that needs treatment. Are they going to get that...

    Displaying credentials

    Glycerine82 replied to jetMA96's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    One of the nurses I used to work with would sign her chart audits Sally Sue, ADN, BSN, MSN, RN, CRRN. It used to make me chuckle. I would be darn proud of those credentials, but no way would I write...

    Glycerine82 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Just human nature and the fact that I value life would be enough for me to give it if I thought it would save the childs life. I know these are all hypothetical answers, but It really, really scares...

    Does your facility ask you to sleep over when it snows?

    Glycerine82 replied to oliveleaf's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was expected to show up for my shift, so I could get there before the storm or drive during the storm. When you are essential staff you have to figure out how to get there. If everyone called off,...

    Healthcare deductables

    Glycerine82 replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you get sick alot working as a nurse?

    Glycerine82 replied to Healthcare102's topic in General Nursing

    I got sick a lot when I first started working at the hospital, but after awhile I did seem to build up an immunity. Either that, or I just got used to it.

    I'm a student, and trust me when I tell you that taking AP I online is a bad idea. You need a good understanding of the material to progress in AP II, and you just wont get that online,
