    what do you regret?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Rosa523's topic in General Students

    It's easy to take things personally from instructors.. DON'T! MOST of them are there to help you succeed. Make time for family, you will never regret it. Learn to say "no" and don't over-commit. I...

    Failure to Respond to Jury Summons

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I am hoping criminal charges are NOT a possibility for you! I hope you can get this cleared up, serve on jury duty, and not have a negative fallout affecting your future career. I would call first...

    If American citizens don't serve as jurors, who do you think should? Just curious, please enlighten

    Failure to Respond to Jury Summons

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well... Everyone is busy at any given time in their lives. Just ask any panel of jurors serving in the United States... I'm sure many of them have child care issues, sick family members to attend...

    Don't know that 1oz=30cc/mls....and it's the Last Trimester?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    OP, I'll bet your stress level would be exponentially lower if you would concentrate on your OWN education, not others'. Best, Diane, RN PS That is how I made it through nursing school.. you have...

    Quit after first day of orientation!

    I'm sure they can walk up one flight of stairs just fine, but choose not to for whatever reason. It should have nothing to do with body size.. I'm a runner, and I talk the elevator at work many times...

    Years Experience on the white board

    Sure, nursing school was a BREEZE for me because I was almost 40 when I graduated!! All that special

    Instructor from hell fails me in clinical!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to jolly4u's topic in General Students

    Jolly, I'm very sorry about you not passing, I would be upset as well. That being said, please reflect back on your experience and critically think about what you could have done differently, and how...

    Don't like making nurses mad!!

    DLS_PMHNP replied to majrpn's topic in General Students

    If I did every procedure the way I was taught in school, my 12 hour shifts would turn into 18 hours. NEVER say to an RN (as a student) "this isn't the way we are/were taught in school." I'm pretty...

    Why Can't Visitors be as Polite As Inmates in the County Jail?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have done the same thing 12 years ago. Seriously, though, what has happened to common courtesy and personal accountability? It's such a "me me me" society.

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I'm becoming jaded with society as a whole- I think the general public is actually getting ruder (if that's possible). Calling them Neanderthals is putting it politely. Best,

    Do you ever plan on leaving the bedside?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Eventually, However, I CANNOT see myself in a management or administrative role. Education, perhaps? My body reminds me when I get home from work how physically exhausting bedside nursing really is....

    Were you prepared for your first nursing job?

    Do people really look up at nurses?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    If our patient ratios weren't so freakin' high, I'll bet many of us would be much more effective in this area. In reality, I barely have time to pee, let alone find time adequate time to actually SIT...

    DLS_PMHNP replied to It Didnt Come EasyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with above posters. A couple of bucks shouldn't sway your decision. It's not like employers are lining up to hire

    DLS_PMHNP replied to Sirapples's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad on an ortho/neuro/trauma floor and I feel your pain. Ortho patients (like any other) can be incredibly demanding, and quite frankly, physically exhausting. Especially when you have...
