  1. Meaning of your username?

    Awww, thank you!
  2. Meaning of your username?

    Pecas is a nickname that was given to me years ago. It means freckles in Spanish.
  3. (((Poppy)))
  4. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    We love you and have missed you so much! It's really not the same without you here. I'm so sorry you've had to go through such a hard time, and I am so glad you are feeling better!
  5. Anyone in the Crestview/Pensacola, FL area?

    Pensacola and the tri-cities area (Crestview, Destin, Fort Walton Beach) are the lowest paid areas in the state of Florida. It is not uncommon for new grad RNs to make less than $20/hr. Because it is a tourist area, the cost of living is pretty high ...
  6. ((((Viva))))
  7. The sloppy image of nurses today

    I've got a coworker who always seems to be walking around with bats in the cave. I'm going to have to figure out a polite way to convince her to try it out!
  8. Even the Stoic Have a Breaking Point

  9. 12/31/15: What I learned this year

    (((Jensmom)))
  10. Careful! I might take you up on that!
  11. Nope, I'm an LPN.
  12. It's a long way off for me, but tbh, I'm not sure if I want to do it either. My family is already sick of the amount of time I've spent in school, and I still have so much left to get my RN. ETA: forgot to quote Far.
  13. Yay! 98.5 is awesome! I totally get the life thing. If I had done all of this straight out of high school I'd be a COB by now. I haven't even figured out how many credits I will need to eventually get my BSN. Too disheartening lol.
  14. Much better now that I won't have to wait another year to start my bridge program, thank you for asking, Far!
  15. I learned that my job is going to work with me so I can get off on time on the days I go to class next semester. I finally got my grades back for this semester-all A's!
  16. This week I learned that I will probably have to wait another year to apply to the bridge program at my school. Since my boss decided to hire a nurse to relieve me that can't be here until an hour after my shift is supposed to end, I can't make it to...
  17. Work has been crazy lately and school has been sucking up my time. I've missed ya'll!
  18. I'm always lurking over there, you guys are awesome!
  19. I know you're gonna send me the recipe!
  20. iPad or NOT iPad that is the question

    None of my ebooks are compatible with iPad or iPhone. I ended up getting a little 2 in 1 so I wouldn't have to lug my big laptop around. I really dislike the ebooks but for some of my classes it was the only option. I order loose leaf copies of the ...
  21. I could have written this exact post. I am so over work, school, and practically everything else, that I'm having a really hard time with the whole thankful deal.
  22. RN with new Restrictions on license

    Not trying to be argumentative, but we give Librium for ETOH withdrawal, and a lot of places give Ativan. Some patients coming off benzos get a taper. Tramadol is also given to opiate withdrawal patients. But I work at a rehab with medical detox. I'm...
