    jaycam replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

  5. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    jaycam replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Completely agree. Besides, my personal Facebook email is not something my future employer needs to see. Something about silly things 20 year old do.

  6. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    jaycam replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. 7 Social Media Posts That Will Destroy Your Nursing Career Before It Begins!

    jaycam replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Never under estimate the power of a reputation management service. I use one that alerts me when information about me becomes public. Some of the very basic ones are free and work for most people. I...

  8. Not having a car during nursing school.

    jaycam replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    While I have a car, not using it is actually more convenient for me. The one exception is clinicals. I keep getting evening shift clinicals in the downtown metro area. Parking costs way to much to...

  11. "Bless Your Heart"

    jaycam replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As someone raised in areas that use it "Bless your heart" is a supposedly polite way to say "You're about as dumb as they come." This also has a companion saying which is "Well isn't that special"...

  13. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    jaycam replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that my school stopped taking as many students. Partly I think they wanted to focus on getting the BSN bridge program going, but it can be tough for ADNs to get work here, especially hospital...

  14. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    jaycam replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The whole concept of "love the sinner, not the sin" is an important concept. Not saying that sexuality is a sin, but we all deal with people we disagree with on a daily basis. It didn't make them less...

    jaycam replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can be a bit left leaning myself, and then people do the "they don't agree with me so they are a bigot!" And I just want to facepalm. We all have our own village of

  18. No Scrubs Allowed.. opinions??

    jaycam replied to Nurse4892's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I was working assisted living the company I worked for had a no scrubs policy. It was khaki, navy, or black slacks with a professional looking top. One of the med techs kept upsetting people with...

  23. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    jaycam replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    I find it really frustrating that people compare obesity to cigarette smoking. It's apples to oranges, we have to eat something. Nothing like having someone compare the fact that I'm fat, which mind...
