    flyersfan88 replied to kgg6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    flyersfan88 replied to AlexRPerrin's topic in General Nursing

  6. Time to give up?

    flyersfan88 replied to wiwhitedog's topic in Nursing Career

    Second. I'm not sure how flexible the OP is really being...250 apps over 6 years is not a lot. I'm pretty sure I did 75 in 3 months, as do most people on here. Home health, minute clinics, methadone...

  12. Letter of reference? What would you do?

    flyersfan88 replied to tsm007's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  13. Areas of nursing you would NOT like?

    flyersfan88 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    flyersfan88 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I have a fear of vomit too (seeing it, hearing it happen, everything) but I'm getting better. My fear was so debilitating growing up that I would scream and cry to stay home from school on the off...

  18. Instructor taking too long to post grades

    flyersfan88 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Follow the chain of command, starting with your professor. Ask politely when she thinks the assignments will be graded for the same reasons you gave here. If you don't want to "bug" the person doing...

    flyersfan88 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Restoril.....God I love Restoril. I'd love dilaudid too if it didn't turn everyone into a raving lunatic asking for it as much as possible. And of course, propofol is so lovely. We don't have...

  22. bSN drexel U.

    flyersfan88 replied to Laurelli's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Don't go to Drexel unless they hand you a tremendous amount of money/someone else is paying for you. Nursing pay is NOT worth the debt you will be in for full price tuition

  23. Question about uniform

    flyersfan88 replied to Lev's topic in Emergency

    Yes, you're making a bigger deal or of it than you should. I doubt anyone will think you're a doctor, but If someone thinks you're a doctor...just correct them. They're just
