I hope everything works out for you and you find something that you will happy with. Again good luck to you and don't let it make you sick with worry. A job is not that important, trust me I know.

I had to switch to PRN due to family circumstances and trying to decide between taking care of my son and getting him to school and sports functions or paying someone else to do it or working all hours and missing out. It worked out fine the first f...

I know how you feel. My in laws helped me with my son, getting him to school when I worked nights, he goes to a private school out in another town and it's hard with the shift I worked to get him to the bus so they would keep him for me on nights I ...

Our school has a Pinning ceremony in December and your family is allowed to come, it's really nice. We all had to wear white, no hats though. They give out awards first, some of the students did speeches, then as we're getting pinned another instru...

Hey, I weighed 11lbs. 4 oz. in 1971 and my Mom had me naturally. She was tall and all baby, never overweight, still isn't and no other health problems then or now. I have a first cousin who is older than me who weighed 13 lbs. and he was born natur...

I wouldn't take 10 pt.s unless it was an emergency, like a hurricane. At the hospital I was working at I had been there for 2 months as a new Nurse and was taking 7 on a Med/Surg. Telemetry floor and we only had 1 RN on the floor, she was the charge...

I LOVE mine. I have over 16 pair. I esp. loved the flip flop ones this summer. I got three different colors to wear. Have you seen the Islander ones in person? I got those in brown. They're comfortable but without socks the leather is a little ...

You have a sign with a skull and crossbones on it taped to your front door warning people what will happen if they knock or ring the door bell before 4pm. LOL Good one. Sandy

I take Xanax as 0.5mg. as needed for panic attacks and I told them before I took my drug test that I was taking it PRN and I passed the drug test. I also have Diabetes so I did inform my Nurse Manager of this and the panic attacks just in case I had...

Tonight I was rubbing lotion on my hands which stay dry all the time and noticed that I have a bruise and some swelling on the underside bottom (closest to my hand)part of my little finger. It doesn't hurt but it's blue and puffy. Weird. I didn't ...

I'm turning in my letter of resignation tomorrow morning and am wondering if anyone could offer any hints or things to say other than the usual. I'm leaving due to family issues, long story, but I'm deciding to put my son first before my wants of wo...

Thanks Amanda, that's what I did. I also stated that I'd like to be kept on as a PRN employee if at all possible. I may want to return there in the future but I could do some days on the weekends or in the summer when my son is out of school. I w...

We have 6-7 pt.s each shift. I work telemetry/med surge floor. Once you hit the floor, you're running all day long. I'm so tired when I get home. Very stressfull days. Usually we're understaffed with support. At least one CNA but some days no wa...

http://www.crocs.com I now own 7 pairs of these shoes, they are all I wear, unless we're going to church. LOL I love them and my feet thank me after walking for over 12 hrs. a shift. Sandy

Can you give me some examples of these prescription drugs? Thanks. Sandy

I performed CPR all the time while working as an EMT. I worked in New Orleans and we got a lot of bad calls there. I haven't had to do it at work as of yet. I'm sure I will someday. Sandy

I LOVE my Crocs too. I own 5 pair. I have one for work, the Highlands that they quit making. They are called Aspen now and look different than the Highlands (the ones without the holes). I have 2 pair of Beach (with the holes all over) and 1 pair...

Glad you are safe and I don't blame you one bit. I'm not working right now but do know that a lot of nurse's at a hospital in Covington, LA lost their jobs because they left. I would have been in line behind them to get to my car. NO job is more i...

My family and I left Bogalusa, LA two days after the storm hit because there was nothing here, no food, water or gas to drive anywhere. My town is about an hour northeast of New Orleans and once the storm hit land in Buras, LA it started turning eas...

I kept mine. I put them all in those really large binders seperated by the tab dividers. I just can't bring myself to throw them out. Sandy

It only took about 3-4 wks. for me to notice a significant change. Since I'd been taking other anti-depressants the medicine was still in my system. I never weaned off one I just didn't take that one anymore and started the next dose of the new one....

It sounds to me like you had a panic attack. I've had them since I was 18 yrs. old. I take Wellbutrin XL for them and Xanax PRN. They are the worst thing I've ever dealt with, mainly because you never know when they're going to happen. I'm sorry ...

Good for you. I would have said something too. Glad you stood your ground and I'm sure the little boy thanks you too. Sandy

My husband bought me a gold band to wear while working. I wore my ring the first few days of my clinicals and I have a 1.5 car. emerald cut and it sits really high. It was so uncomfortable with gloves so I just quit wearing it. I now wear my band ...

This is so fun. I think my biggest was one girl in our class who thought because she married money she was the most important person there. She was loud, obnoxious, dressed like a slut, EVERY day and stirred more #$%$ than anyone I've ever met. I ...
