  1. How did you spend your first nursing paycheck?

    Meeshie replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    Bills. More scrubs. A day out for my 3 year

  2. Horses and Nursing/Travel Nursing

    Meeshie replied to butterflytessa's topic in General Nursing

    I have an odd suggestion if this is what you decide to do... talk to Ren Faire travelers at whatever large faire is local to you - specifically the jousters. Those people are never locals. They travel...

  3. Marijuana and IPN

    Meeshie replied to IMNRN33's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If you mess up IPN they'll revoke your nursing license. How badly do you want this career? And there is no early release from IPN. Good luck with whatever you choose to

  4. Thank you community college nursing program

    Meeshie replied to menot's topic in General Students

    Bitterness disguised as performance

  5. Why take microbiology?

    Meeshie replied to nouviss's topic in General Students

    If I had to pick one thing that I learned that I feel is important? Infection

  6. A/B student

    Meeshie replied to Bella420's topic in General Students

    Maybe it'll get you into the program you want. Maybe not. Depends on who else is applying,

  7. Nursing school with kids and no family support HELP!

    Meeshie replied to Lovemed's topic in General Nursing

    My friends were. They were exhausted.. but they managed. They all graduated with me and have gone on to work in the hospitals they were CNAs in. One of my friends was a critical care ambulance driver...

  8. Were To Begin

    Meeshie replied to Rachelochoa69's topic in Nursing Career

    Grades? They'll definitely affect whether or not you even get into the community college. Most nursing programs in community colleges require you to do prereqs and the grades for those will determine...

  9. New grad having a difficult time finding a job

    Meeshie replied to blubabz15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There's a few new grad programs in and around Brandon. Did you apply at all of

  10. New Nurse, AHHH!!!

    Meeshie replied to nurseburst's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Umm..please don't document that you did an intervention when you didn't do it. That would be illegal and immoral. You could lose your license. Your patient could get septic and die because no one does...

  11. Nursing school with kids and no family support HELP!

    Meeshie replied to Lovemed's topic in General Nursing

    Some people can't manage work and nursing school at the same time. Some people can. If you can.. then you do it. Some advise though, if you don't mind. You're going to be a CNA? Try to find a...

  12. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    Meeshie replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    Did you watch the first episode of the new season of Lucifer? They touched on the fact that there are set nurses. Of course, she turned out to be a horrible horrible murderer

  13. StaRN Program South Florida

    Meeshie replied to eliteflipgurl23's topic in General Nursing

    Recommended or not - it seems to have almost vanished. Only Mercy hospital still has staRN at this point. It seems to have temporarily vanished from all the other south florida hospitals. Which is.....

  14. Child care for 12 hour nursing

    Meeshie replied to jollyholley1986's topic in General Nursing

    I have an au pair. I provide room and board, food, and a weekly stipend and she helps me with child care and house cleaning... she works 40 hours a week for me on the schedule I require and the rest...

  15. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Meeshie replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    You're right in that not everyone matures at the same rate. One of the more interesting things about nursing school, in my opinion, is how it tends to weed out some of that problem. People buckle down...

  16. Florida Hospital Winter 2016 GN

    Meeshie replied to Meeshie's topic in Florida Nursing

    Fantastic :) Congrats. Im so glad things are going

  17. WILTW 9/19/16: Dystonic Tasks and Masks

    Meeshie replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    You totally don't have to just tough it out. There are meds for PPA/PPD that are fully compatible with breast feeding and breast feeding goals. Seriously. Talk to a lactation consultant if you decide...

  18. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    Meeshie replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I have a pricier model with an electronic timer. I tell it how long to cook for and when it's done it'll switch to the 'keep warm'

  19. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    Meeshie replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I use a ton of stuff - mostly off of pintrest, honestly. Pintrest is my addiction. However, these are both good sites to start with:

  20. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

    Meeshie replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    I do a lot of meal prep. I have an extra deep freezer just so I can do this. I normally keep about a dozen 'ready to go in the crockpot' meals in the freezer (sauce,meat,veg all in a bag ready to go),...

  21. Pouchitis

    Meeshie replied to enfermeratobe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I won't do the legwork for you but I will point you in a direction. Cleveland Clinic has information on pouchitis that would be useful to you.. as does the Mayo clinic. Also, if your school has an...

  22. Navy Nurse

    Meeshie replied to abbyley's topic in Nursing Career

    What you want to talk to is known as a medical recruiter or a health recruiter. Yes, you'd be going in as an officer.. but you can get the ball rolling by going into the recruiting office and...

  23. Leaving Nursing for Another Career

    Meeshie replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    Give me a poke when it gets published. I'd love to read it. I noticed this problem in a lot of my 'mom groups' on facebook. There seem to be a lot of younger parents that just don't have those basic...

  24. Resume/Background Checks for Gov't Jobs

    Meeshie replied to allthatshines's topic in General Nursing

    You can list it however you want - if the jobs themselves won't say the same then you'll lose this job opportunity. Personally I'd contact these jobs and ask what they want you to say or not say. And...

  25. divorce while in nursing school

    Meeshie replied to nursingstudent65's topic in General Students

    It's enough when you decide it's enough. At the end of the day you are the only one that can make that decision. You can decide to walk out now. You can decide to work on your marriage through...
