  1. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    pecas replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    This might be the longest run-on sentence I've ever read. It makes my brain

  2. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    pecas replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I have a post that my phone autocorrected to med surge, and when I noticed, it was too late to edit. I'm usually the one calling people out on their grammar, so I guess it was just karma biting me in...

  3. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

  4. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that when your company can't afford to pay you for two weeks, and it takes them a month to get your pay caught up, don't deposit your first on-time check in a month into your bank account....

  5. What does your username mean?

    pecas replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pecas means freckles in Spanish. I was given the nickname about 15 years ago by some friends who teased me about the freckles I have across my nose. I'm beginning to wonder if I should change it to...

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

  7. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I do have some good company at night. 😄. Maybe it's just the craziness that happens during the day that makes me feel like I'm missing out? By the time I can get on AN at night, the crazy...

  8. Ebook or Textbook?

    pecas replied to Injection Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ebooks suck when you have open book/open note tests, but they don't allow you to have the text open in another window. I end up rewriting the majority of the text in my notes, and spend my test time...

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that working nights means all the good stuff on AN happens while I'm

  10. 8/22 What I learned this week....

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I have to start over completely. It's definitely different with kids. I wish I had done all this years ago. Two of my professors didn't give us a choice between ebooks and texts, so it never occurred...

  11. 8/22 What I learned this week....

    pecas replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I did my first couple of assignments last night, and yeah, no As in my future. I freaking a little bit since my bridge program uses GPA and individual grades for entrance points. Ebooks are torture, I...

  14. Nurses and their pens

    pecas replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Pilot .38mm to write on the tiny spaces in a paper MAR, Bic 4 color fine point for everything else. They are both pretty hard to find around here, so when I do find them, I pretty much guard them with...

  15. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    pecas replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in medsurge clinicals several of us students got to watch a pretty gnarly bedside necrotizing fasciitis debridement. Since I was assigned to the patient, I was holding his free hand out of...

  16. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    pecas replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    When your parents tell you they can't afford to send you to college, don't be a brat. Get out there and do it yourself. Don't stay with an abusive man, and if you do, when you finally get out after 7...

  17. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    pecas replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    One of the hospitals where I had clinicals was staffed with mostly new grad RNs. They each had at least 6 patients. They didn't have time to teach me, they were struggling just to get through their...

  18. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    pecas replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    To say that my American children are less deserving than someone else's American children is utterly ridiculous. I was born here, so were they. I am an American citizen who has been paying taxes for...

    pecas replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    That's exactly why he didn't go. He knew that we wouldn't have been able to pay out of pocket for a huge ED bill, and he was not willing to "let the bill be absorbed by the hospital and taxpayers." My...

  20. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    pecas replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    I would love to know where to find this free housing for immigrants. My illegal husband and I spend way too much on rent! Seriously though, you've been misinformed. Free medical care? When my husband...

  22. Dear Miss Manners, How to I deal with touchy/feely coworkers?

    pecas replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am a complete touchaphobe, and I'm sure I visibly cringe in these situations. I still find it hard to say something out of fear that I will hurt someone's feelings. I usually try to find a way to...

  24. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    pecas replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    There are so many fallacies and inaccuracies in this post. I can't imagine how someone with such strong opinions on the subject would not be at all interested in knowing what benefits immigrants...

  25. Nursing School with Baby ... Possible?

    pecas replied to amae519's topic in General Students

    When I started LPN school I had 4 kids, ages 19, 8, 7, and 6 months. Both my husband and I worked full time, and my oldest son was a tremendous help with his siblings both while I was working and when...
