    Has anyone grown to love nursing

    Glycerine82 replied to elyse2012's topic in General Nursing

    I think having a desire to learn about healthcare and wanting to help people is enough. People who have a "passion" for nursing before they go to nursing school don't really know what its actually...

    Family Members/Patients Who Write Down Your Name

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

    I don't think the pt or family has any right to our last names, yet all of ours are on our badges.....Bugs me. How do I know I won't find a disgruntled family member on my door step one day? I am...

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

    I had a patients daughter write down even the dialogue being exchanged in the room. It was really nerve-wracking. What would get me was all of the information she would write down like Labs and...

    Odd ER visit

    Glycerine82 replied to inshallamiami's topic in Emergency

    From many of your previous posts it is clear to me that you don't like people who work in healthcare and that you are a chronic complainer. I just want you to know that simply making a phone call and...

    Extremely Overweight Nurses

    Glycerine82 replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career

    Got my RN license in CA with 5 felonies and 3 midemeanors

    Glycerine82 replied to HellooooooooooMurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The only thing I'm thinking, is, if they dropped 4 out of the 5 and eventually the 5th also as well as the misdemeanor, you don't actually have any felonies on your record..... Just trying to clear...

    north pay better than south

    Glycerine82 replied to twinner05's topic in General Students

    Sunshine may not pay the bills but its much more enjoyable for me to live here in the South than it was to live in the North. I cant imagine going back......oh and talk about people being friendly....

    Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    Glycerine82 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think an older grad brings more to the table in life experience alone. That's just the way it is, and I don't have a problem with it. I wont be a young grad but I wont be a old one either and I'll...

    How much vomiting happens on an acute rehab floor?

    Glycerine82 replied to starryeyed7's topic in Rehabilitation

    On my floor there was a good bit of vomiting, but it just totally depends on the current census. Lots of hips and knees this week? Not so much. Lots of paraplegia, NTBIs, TBIs, CVA's yep expect...

    Yup. I learned the hard way. I am trying to get the loans forgiven based on all of the lies the recruiter told me but I doubt I'll be able to do it. People like that are so

    I live in SC, moved from MA. I couldn't afford to live in MA. 300k for a middle of the road home up there. Here, I make crappy money, (and I mean really, really crappy. I'm a CNA) but, my rent is...

    How to drop subtle hints with my nursing students about faith.

    Glycerine82 replied to HappyWife77's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think It's appropriate to point out that everyone should have a place to go to gather themselves. Be it prayer, meditation, moments of silence, boxing, the gym etc. Let them know they don't have...

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

    In most states it doesn't matter. If you jump off the roof during your lunch break, well maybe. WC still has to pay regardless of fault....an accident is an accident, ya
