    newnurse2005 replied to Ellen Bobinski's topic in Government, Military

    My physical was no problem at all. Blood, drug, and TB tests were about it for me. Also, a basic eye exam and hearing test. They asked for a detailed health history, but I didn't think it was a big...

    newnurse2005 replied to Ellen Bobinski's topic in Government, Military

    newnurse2005 replied to Ellen Bobinski's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks. I'm just hoping to hear about what's NOT on the website or what would be told to me by HR. I'll probably go to the cafeteria and speak candidly with the nurses there so I get a better feel...

    I'm in an accelerated program right now (2nd degree). We have a student who gave birth right in the middle of the program. Get this: it's her third child: all are under age three!!!! She's really...

  8. Share your feedback re: ethical nursing issues

    newnurse2005 replied to newnurse2005's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Has anyone ever had to deal with an RN coworker who was using drugs? I couldn't imagine! I'd love to hear about more examples, if anyone else can

  9. career advice/encouragement- new grad who took a long absence

    newnurse2005 replied to princess99's topic in General Nursing
