    TypicalFish replied to n8isgr8's topic in First Year After Licensure

  2. How long did it take to get accepted into NS?

    TypicalFish replied to Sugarbelle's topic in General Nursing

    TypicalFish replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry-you over stepped your bounds with your snotty "people who are uniformed" comment. YOU are uninformed, because YOU are a nursing student-while you may have "advised"; it is nothing like being an...

    TypicalFish replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    1) Targa, you are taking this waaaaaay too personally 2) the ONLY THING ANYONE is saying here is that IF this nurse has a drug problem, she should not be responsible for PEOPLE'S LIVES-why aren't you...

    TypicalFish replied to dmg213's topic in First Year After Licensure

    TypicalFish replied to debblynn13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am with you-I have always "run hot" and being peri-menopausal-well, hot flashes make it worse. I am in hot and muggy Maryland. I wore very nice suit-type black pants and a office-looking/suit type...

    TypicalFish replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

  13. Conflict with Manager - suggestions please!

    TypicalFish replied to Lalage's topic in General Nursing

    Moondancer's reply is good; i would consider writing a very well-worded, non-judgemental letter to management, letting them know what happened, why you left, and not only did this manager cost the...

  15. What does a new Nurse need-supplies-wise?

    TypicalFish posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know that this was covered before, but I can't find it; I know the things I used for clinicals,but that is different from actually being a nurse at the same facility. One person had a list that was...

    TypicalFish replied to DanaS's topic in First Year After Licensure

  19. New nurse blues

    TypicalFish replied to Pleaides's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Miranda-thank you for the kind words! I like the notebook idea-I tend (i guess we all do) to focus on what I do wrong-it'd be nice at the end of a bad week to look at it and think "Gee, I did do...

    TypicalFish posted a topic in General Nursing

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5289509/ This is kind of cool-I thought it was interesting to post here because how we would look at some of this-ie: he has permanent kidney damage from chemo; his resting...

  24. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    TypicalFish replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career
