    Former drug addicts becoming nurses?

    vanilla bean replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I did make a judgement based on the OP's post, but I was asked to. The last line of the post is, "Thoughts?" I gave mine and they are mine alone, I'm OK with the OP (and anyone else) not...

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    vanilla bean replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    And yet, here we are, on page 11. Personally, my days are often peppered with little things that "matter not one iota," but I'm happy for those little reprieves (in fact, I seek them out). I'm trying...

    Former drug addicts becoming nurses?

    vanilla bean replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, c'mon Emergent, stay engaged. I had the same initial thoughts as a few other posters in terms of thinking you were being a bit judgmental based on your OP, but maybe if several of us were getting...

    I'm so sad to hear this. Thank you for the update, OP. I for one will miss OCNRN63's contributions to our little community here. Wishing her peace and comfort at this time and my sincere condolences...

    vanilla bean replied to m.lyndavis16's topic in General Nursing

    Fluid in lungs--does it HAVE to start in bases?

    vanilla bean replied to NEMurse95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can I still become a nurse after being diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos?

    vanilla bean replied to britebeads's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There are so many options for employment as a nurse that there's a very good chance you'd be able to find a role that wouldn't be as physically strenuous as bedside nursing. But, you do have to make...

    What are Your Goals for 2018??

    vanilla bean replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Relocate. I was hoping to have this accomplished by the end of 2017, but securing employment in a super-saturated job market is taking longer than I'd hoped, go figure. I'm looking forward to starting...

    Why is it difficult to transition from nursing student to working Nurse?

    vanilla bean replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Nursing

    Because, IMO, nursing school prepares you to take the NCLEX and not how to deal with the realities of the job itself. Learning to manage your time efficiently can be a steep learning curve. Learning...

    Hazyblue, anyone telling you that you are "an inferior being" because of your race is *not* your friend. I'm sorry you're feeling so isolated and alone. Is going back to your home country and back to...
