Nursing Student - Married - 33 - No social life because my nose stays stuck in a book, but I love every minute of it and I can't wait to actually start my career.
I'm still here, just lurk more than I post. Still at Galen. We also just got our ACEN accreditation; I got the email about it yesterday. This is a good program, but it's hard, it's also an accelerated...
I'm not sure about the Health Departments where you live, but that's where I got most of my immunizations done throughout my entire life. Family was skirting the poverty line growing up and a lot of...
I haven't been in this situation yet, but it would seem to me that if you already have an established relationship (friendship, work with them etc) with a doctor or surgeon or even the other nurses,...
The absolute worst are the instructors who have the canned ppt's and then talk above your head about every little thing in class. No explanation given, look at you like you have 5 heads when you ask a...
I agree batmik, I feel all those things too. They don't say it was a nurse but like RN2B123 I'd almost bet that it is. The hospitals and initial organizations need to be taking care of those who are...

I've suffered with anxiety and depression for a very long time now, since my early 20's at least, and I'm now 33. I'm only in Nursing school, and we haven't had our first clinical round yet, but...
Thanks for clearing that up Mass. I guess the guy vomited all over the side walk at his sister/girlfriend whoever's apartment complex too while waiting for the ambulance. There's some body fluid...
So I've been doing some digging. Trying to remain factual, but I'm not going to lie, my head can't help but to do the "what if" dance, every time I see someone from over there dying, who's traveled....
So if she can do that, in such close proximity to those infected and not die herself, why are the healthcare workers getting infected and dying from treating the sick? Is it the sheer number of...
And now there's a CDC map of quarantine stations being set up in the United States ( Quarantine Station Contact List, Map, and Fact Sheets | Quarantine | CDC ) also a new Executive Order signed by...
I don't have anything to offer other than it sucks that you're going to have to "dumb down" your experience just to get the kind of job you want. It's obviously only because of what you said, that...
