    cjdmomma replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    The hospital won't let you defer your orientation? I cannot imagine that they wouldn't do that. They are hiring students for pete sakes! If they are that inflexible with your student schedule now,...

  4. What does forensic nursing entail?

    cjdmomma replied to nurseinthemakin's topic in Forensic

    cjdmomma replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

  10. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    cjdmomma replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I guess I am also a "newbie with an attitude," too. I think op did the right thing. The only thing I disagree with is not wanting to call a specialists in the night. If the pt needed it, I would be...

    cjdmomma replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  17. Does Nursing School equal Depression?

    cjdmomma replied to Anbo3882's topic in General Students

    cjdmomma replied to cjdmomma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
