    NurseLatteDNP replied to 2bNursewith7kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Paying rent as an RN

    NurseLatteDNP replied to ellieRN06's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have just seen some window covers at wal mart that are not letting any light through. They were $20. When I can't sleep, I put on a CD with the thunderstom

    which shift do you prefer 3-11 or 11-7?

    NurseLatteDNP replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like 11-7 because my 3yr old daughter would not let me sleep during the day. I would have to sleep during her nap time. But if I would have school age children or no children at all, I would...

    malpractice/liability insurance?

    NurseLatteDNP replied to kk2000's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my school we had to have insurance in order to attend the program. But all of that was included in the fees when I registered for the classes. But I have talked to so many nurses who think that...

    Has anyone taken these classes

    NurseLatteDNP replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think those are standard classes that we all had to take. A&P I and A&P II were difficult for me, but if you study for it, you can make an A. In Lab we had to disect a cat because our schol...

    NurseLatteDNP replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my hospital in North Texas, there are many LVNs. On our Med Surg floor there are more LVNs than RNs. But L&D and newborn nursery hires only RNs

    Sexual Harrassment?

    NurseLatteDNP replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    I agree because I had seen it happen. You have to find the courage yourself to firmly tell the patient that this behavior is not acceptable. If someone else does it for you, and you are still blushing...
