:rotfl: Yeah, I know what it's called. I just don't have any. Besides, she could used a little more tact when choosing the subject matter for her first post.

The wise supportive nurses did give her their advice - we told her to get real! And the stay out of nursing crap? Well, it's not that we think she won't make a good nurse. It's just good nurse or...

Wendy, I'm so sorry you don't feel well. And I know it's not helped by this awful heat. How crappy of your own ER to treat you that way. And how crappy of your own unit to MAKE you go there...

Yes Nancy. I haven't heard of this official research, but I can tell you that my own unofficial research proves this to be true. Just about 30 minutes 3-4 times a week greatly increases my mood and...

We just found out at work that we're now going to be using Tylenol for circumcisions. We won't be giving it to relieve pain, but because their studies show it increases activity, and will therefore...
Well, you just handle it. I used to be pretty meek too. You just reach apoint where you can't do it anymore, or people will walk all over you and leave big ugly footprints! I start by being civil....

Every hospital is different. Ask tons of questions at your interviews. At my hospital, all the nurses rotate through nursery AND post partum. NICU is the only ALL BABY unit in my hospital. Good luck...

And forgive me Kerry, but I believe you asked for input. "Any info would be great" were your exact words. So don't go saying "oh well" when you don't like what you hear.
OBNURSEHEATHER replied to shavsha's topic in General Nursing
Thats a perfect example of a 20 year olds rationalization of the entire matter. It's not wrong, and is in fact age appropriate, so I won't even comment on it. You'll learn. Trust me, I am open...

My hospital won't allow any visible piercings. This is where I start to show that I'm getting older, but I have to agree. If I were in the hospital, and my nurse walked in and as she's talking I can...

I agree with the other posters that this is a fad. But in all honesty, aren't there much worse things your daughter could be doing? And if she's gonna do it, she's gonna do it. Wouldn't you rather...

I thought your post brought up an interesting point Mattsmom! I don't think Mario means it in a harmful way at all, but it appears to me that he has that inquisitive type of personality that can...

Ahhh I see now. I couldn't see the other finger through all the hair, so I thought it was a drumstick. But I guessed right on the other part! He's a headbanger, not a, ummm, banger of, other...
