  1. Legalization of recreational marijuana

    lovinlife11 replied to francoml's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Omg, is this for real? If it is, I pray you never take care of myself or any family or friends. You are a nurse and held to higher standards, that doesn't mean being high on ur days off.

  2. Excessive Excitement

    lovinlife11 replied to MusicalCoffee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. Question on Washcloth and bathing

    lovinlife11 replied to ngazza's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  8. I am currently in the RN-BSN program

    lovinlife11 replied to centered-rn's topic in School, College Programs

    I just finished stats last month online. I was also very intimidated by the class, especially online. While it was challenging, it was very doable. I also spend about 6-8 hours a week on school items....

  10. If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

    lovinlife11 replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    I was looking longingly at the housekeeper working the hospital the other day. It's sad when you're an educated professional jealous of the lack of responsibility housekeepers

    lovinlife11 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

  13. United Health Group

    lovinlife11 replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Case Management

    Rumor has it they have awful benefits and a very rough work environment. Just a rumor of course.

  14. Online stats. Anyone take it this way?

    lovinlife11 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I also took undergrad stats in the classroom and upper division stats for healthcare providers online. I really struggled with the online class(and I have taken many, many online classes). Highly...

  15. Critque my cover letter and resume please and thank you

    lovinlife11 replied to pattyboo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would lose the religious affiliation. While I think it is a great statement, it has no business on a cover

    Thank you for the refreshing

  17. 12 hr shifts and the single mom

    lovinlife11 replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    Not a single mom but other issues. I took a job in utilization review for an insurance company. Monday through Friday 8 to 5, and I work from home. Not the most exciting job ever, but it helps with...

    lovinlife11 replied to KBICU's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    lovinlife11 replied to whereisrebecca's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

  22. 5 things you wish you knew as a new nurse

    lovinlife11 replied to Bugs20091's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have a feeling your patient is going bad, ask another nurses opinion, never be afraid to call rapid response. Drug seekers suck. Suck the life out of you. Teamwork is essential, always be...

  23. Clinical rotation

    lovinlife11 replied to spoild2588's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Always better to ask for help, especially if you are not feeling

  24. How do you stay positive about your career?

    lovinlife11 replied to Jw1724's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is nursing, we have to take the good with the not so good. I agree with the previous poster, it doesn't sound like your boyfriend is so supportive of your career choices. Nursing is 24/7, we...

  25. Turning a hospice patient in severe pain?

    lovinlife11 replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in Hospice, Palliative
