1. Should I take Med-Surg job or ICU job working near ex-husband?

   UnicoRN611 replied to UnicoRN611's topic in General Nursing

   We are actually on very good terms now, believe it or not, even after all that happened between the two of us. He is a typical narcissist and he is obsessed with his nice and shiny appearance, especially at work. Now that I have gotten therapy and ...

2. Night Shift Single Parents! Questions about child care!

   UnicoRN611 replied to UnicoRN611's topic in General Nursing

   Ideally I'd like to keep them in my house since they already sleep at my ex-husbands house a few nights a week. If they slept at 3 different houses throughout their childhood, I think that would be a lot of adjusting for them. Plus I want them to f...

3. Should I take Med-Surg job or ICU job working near ex-husband?

   UnicoRN611 replied to UnicoRN611's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't accept his help, but I wouldn't feel "pathetic" even if I did. Its not my fault he abused me, and that doesn't make me pathetic at all.

6. Any nursing students out there with ADD/ADHD?

   UnicoRN611 replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

   I graduated in May and I have ADHD. I also had quite a few personal issues to deal with during nursing school that made my ADHD so much worse than it typically is. I didn't have any special accommodations in place because I was diagnosed at a young...

9. Failed Med-Surg 1

   UnicoRN611 replied to Mickeybabe16's topic in Student Assist

   The good thing is that when you retake med-surg, it'll be easier because you've already been exposed to it.. You'll be better off for it. I really struggled in Med surg because it was given in 4 weeks and I had a lot of family issues at that point in...

13. Stethoscope tinnitus (heart sounds)

    UnicoRN611 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    I read through some of the board posts about tinnitus and stethoscopes but none of them quite had the same problem I do. I have ringing tinnitus, which really doesn't bother me while listening to heart sounds, I can tune it out. The problem I'm havin...
