    Can someone with add , adhd and that has a learning disability go to RN school?

    CloverPark replied to jerseygirl51991's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi! I just came across this post and was wondering if you decided to go to nursing school? I hope you did, because someone with ADD/ADHD can DEFINITELY complete nursing school and even EXCEL!! I am...

    CloverPark posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi everyone, I have never posted before, only commented, but I really needed some good advice, so here goes: I am a supervisor in a LTC/subacute facility and I suspect that a nurse may possibly be...

    CloverPark replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    To ALL school nurses or any nurse who deals with children, please, as a mother of 2 (10 and 7 years old), PLEASE continue to enforce manners! My hubby and I are very strict when it comes to...

    CloverPark replied to KBICU's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I don't know if OP is still considering a supervisor position, but I was hired last year as an evening shift supervisor at a LTC/subacute facility with 1.5 years of experience. I am salaried, but...

    Odd interactions

    CloverPark replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of my favorite stories ever, although more funny than odd: Back when I was a tech at a hospital, I had a patient who was in his early 20s, alert, oriented x3, walkie talkie. At that hospital,...

    I am a real nurse

    CloverPark replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    I have heard some nurses say that psych nurses aren't "real" nurses, and I find it appalling. I do not work in psych, but I know for a fact that it takes a very special, strong person with a HIGH...

    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    CloverPark replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is a bit late, but I felt the strong need to state that Hep C is a blood-born pathogen, and is not spread through urine, feces, or saliva. Even if you were to have intercourse with...

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    CloverPark replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get to read all the comments, but I agree with OP to a certain extent. Regardless of why you came into nursing, I do NOT think one can be a good nurse if they don't like working with people...

    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    CloverPark replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA at a small, not so great (bad actually) hospital that was ready to shut down, I was assigned as a sitter for a patient once who I was made aware had Hep-C. Made no difference to me....

    Keys to Success for Nursing Students With Disabilities

    CloverPark replied to Donna Maheady's topic in General Students

    Great post... This hit very close to home, and unfortunately, it did not end well. I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I always knew something was wrong with me, but never thought it was an actual...

    How Important is it that your patients and their families like you?

    CloverPark replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am the same way. I find it important for patients to like me, especially since I work in subacute rehab, where patients here often stay longer than in the hospital, so I may have the same patients...

    CNA first then RN?

    CloverPark replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    I also was a mother of 2 when I started nursing school (AD at a community college). In NJ where I live (I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere), once you pass your first semester of nursing school,...

    This week, I learned.... (7/25)

    CloverPark replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that in the days before your scheduled vacation, your shifts mysteriously become longer and more grueling, with that last day being a complete nightmare. And when you're finally ready to...

    CloverPark replied to Looking_for_sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! So sorry to hear about your experience I can relate. I worked as a tech for a year at a prestigious hospital. I was in the float pool, and soon found a unit that I absolutely loved:...
