    Why Do You Love Being A Prison Nurse?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Everline's topic in Correctional

    All this & the fact that I can stand up for myself. I don't have to kiss any patient or family member's rear

    Injection Gone Wrong: Part 3

    OrganizedChaos replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    That's just so sad. From the beginning when the untrained MA gave her the shot in the incorrect area to the doctor didn't seem to give two poops & told her to just "Google it". I'm glad she...

    Dropped out RN school because of anxiety and now going for LPN

    OrganizedChaos replied to Brittanyyy0418's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was going to say this. The LVN route isn't easy than the RN route. It might seem easier because the program is shorter than the RN program but it is just as hard. A lot of information you have to...

    Options for parents and spouses with strict schedules

    OrganizedChaos replied to TexRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know it will be tough working with young ones & around your husband's schedule. I'm very nervous to go back to school & start working. I know most new grads work nights but I can't. My...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The last place I would want to go is over seas to get any surgery done. I would not want to be that far away from my doctors & my home. I don't like being in the hospital to being with let alone...

    I love this series but I hate to see what she went through after a faulty flu shot. It will definitely make me more aware when I get

    Thank you Peds Nurses

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I'm sorry your children had to go through chemo & you had to go through all of what comes with it. Yes, we were discharged today. We are all glad to be home. My older son is happy we are home, he...

    I hugged my two babies extra tight after reading your initial post. I couldn't be happier to hear that the boy has recovered, even though there may be some residual

    Any nurses with mental illness?

    OrganizedChaos replied to CaliSarah's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have bipolar disorder & as I write this I am sitting in my PCP's office to adjust my meds. I wouldn't be surprised if I also have borderline personality disorder

    Is nursing still for me?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been an LVN for 7 years. I was 22 when I started & I will be 29 this year. I know I'm not old but I feel like maybe I should pursue another career or something. I just had another baby...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! Even though this is my second it isn't any easier. Trying to juggle my toddler with a newborn is difficult but not impossible. I don't think I could do it if I was working or in school. I...

    Is nursing still for me?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have been working with my provider since I have been diagnosed. I really don't want to screw up when I become an RN like I did when I became an LVN. But I don't want to rush into it because I...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I didn't realize how difficult it would be going from 1 child to 2. Some days I feel like ripping my hair out! Especially since my body isn't letting me sleep. Oh, I'm not working. I haven't...

    Is nursing still for me?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I want to become an RN because I want more job experience. I can get more jobs as an RN vs. as an LVN. I also screwed up working as an LVN. I was offered a hospital position right out of school (I...
