  2. Medical Professional?

    jb2u replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in General Nursing

    jb2u replied to zcalla's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    jb2u replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

  11. Ever notice this about allnurses?

    jb2u replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if you are talking about other members telling one to "do a search." I agree. If you do not have anything to add then it would be more appropriate to just move on to another post than to tell...

  13. Schweet

    jb2u replied to bakpakr's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    jb2u replied to bakpakr's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I'd say to not give up! If nursing is what you want then do not loose sight of your goal. Life has ups and downs (believe me I know), but things will come...

  15. What should I do??

    jb2u replied to Flaird's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    16 months is a long time for a pca, so is 12 months for that matter. I am not sure how things are in your area, but if the 16 month and the 6 week courses will both get you the same job, then I would...

  16. You Just Don't Care!!!

    jb2u replied to caroladybelle's topic in General Nursing

    This is why, whenever I get on shift and something was not done, I just take care of it and move on instead of complaining to my coworkers that nurse "A" did not do this and that. Instead, I just...

    jb2u replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

  18. Opinions needed ...

    jb2u replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad that started in ICU, I say go for it. I believe that there are three types of new grads...those that must work for a year then go to ICU, those that can go straight to ICU, and those...

  19. How to change the Nursing's Image ?

    jb2u replied to Adham Ahmed's topic in General Nursing

    For those that say that they do not really care about the image, I know what you are trying to state; however, I care about the image of nursing because I care about nursing. Yes, we are always rated...

  23. Why so negative ?

    jb2u replied to MichaelFloridaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't miss it. For some reason I thought that leslie always has a smiley face by her name. :imbar I guess I was wrong about the smiley face.

  24. Why so negative ?

    jb2u replied to MichaelFloridaRN's topic in General Nursing
