    Anjann replied to dansamy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Anjann replied to Brad_RN_Student_PA's topic in Men in Nursing

  5. Any advice for a student nurse with dyslexia and other LD's?

    Anjann replied to smilealot's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Anjann replied to iminsideurmind's topic in Psychiatric

    Anjann replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    Anjann replied to Anjann's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know how "strange" this is, but we had a patient who was on our floor after some kind of palliative surgery for cancer. I don't know the specifics because he wasn't my patient and was clear...

    Anjann replied to sdcalichan's topic in General Nursing

  16. Preparing for NCLEX while working as a GN

    Anjann replied to heywazzupdude's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only problem with working before NCLEX is that you only have that 90 day window to get your license. (At least here in my state) I didn't even get my ATT until 8 weeks after graduation and I...

    Anjann replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

  18. Hate nursing job

    Anjann replied to lvsmith's topic in Nursing Career

    I think without a year of floor nursing under your belt you're probably going to be pretty limited no matter where you move to. Have you ever thought about post partum/nursery? I honestly think that...
