    Commute from Dallas to fort Worth

    Irish_Mist replied to soon2beRNBSN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in the Dallas area. Lewisville to be exact. If you can get a job where you don't have to commute, do it. Commuting from Dallas and Ft. Worth will get

    Hello. I just finished all my prerequisites and now it is time to prepare for my entrance exams. I am taking both as I am applying to a couple of different schools. Can anyone recommend a good website...

    Purchasing a gift for your nurse?

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I recently gave birth to a baby boy. I had some wonderful nurses who cared for us on both the L&D and Post Partum side. I'd like to show these nurses how much I appreciated their gentleness,...

    My friend is still looking for work

    Irish_Mist replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Take it from someone who knows what depression is like. Hearing the truth will benefit her more than believing a lie. Meanwhile, it sounds like she is bringing you down with her. You seem to be...

    My friend is still looking for work

    Irish_Mist replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe its time you flat out tell her how you feel. Perhaps some honest words will make her realize how foolish she's being. Of course, you can be gentle with what you say. She sounds like she needs...

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Let me preface that I am about 7.5 months pregnant. This is a vent as I am unsure if this topic has been discussed before. If it has been, please humor me. I have an obvious bump. Let's just say...

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First of all, I never said I gave her my medical history. She would basically ask me questions about my allergies and me thinking it was no big deal, I would answer them not expecting an additional...

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This has been the policy I've adopted. My dad's advice as well as that of a respected mentor of mine is to respond with "Why do you want to know?" in a polite voice when asked a question you don't...

    Cream and Sugar, you've expressed so much of what I've been feeling. (((HUGS))) Being questioned about getting married immediately after you tell your extremely religious boss that you are three...

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    I suppose being different people, we have different personalities and take things differently and look at life differently. My boss is very religious and when she asked if I was getting married, it...

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pookyp, how would you feel having extremely personal questions being asked to you by your boss? Would you want to be asked about your financial status, whether or not you're getting married, was the...

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't get me wrong, I don't want to share my health information with anyone. But this was my boss. She is incredibly overbearing and will catch anyone off guard. Her mentality is that because she's a...

    Intrusiveness and unwanted touching of pregnant bellies

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't had complete strangers touch me. I think I ooze the unapproachable vibe. I guess in my case, that is a good and a bad thing. I've been told by many people that I look like I'm mad when...

    Is Pregnancy During Nursing School Doable?

    Irish_Mist replied to 2bNurseHammonds's topic in General Students

    This is a difficult question to answer. I'm currently 7 months pregnant and with the way I've felt the last few months, there is no way in hell I'd be able to be a good nursing student. Being...

    Pregnancy and being a nurse

    Let me preface that I am not yet a nurse. Before I became pregnant, smells like feces never really bothered me. Now that I am 7 months pregnant, the smell of feces makes me gag! For those of you that...

    I had an interview once where I was asked if I was married or engaged or if I had children. Big no no to ask any question like that. And, you're right. You don't want to work for a place like

    A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

    Irish_Mist replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is YOUR choice how you feed your baby. You owe NO ONE an explanation for that choice other than maybe your husband or partner. I am 7 months pregnant. I want to breastfeed but do not feel it is my...
