    Anjann replied to ClaireMacl's topic in Nursing Humor

  9. Smelling Cancer?

    Anjann replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    It's absolutely true! When I was in clinicals I discovered this ability to "smell" cancer, as well as sense it's presence in the body when I shook a patient's hand, but kept it to myself for fear...

  10. Need some encouragement

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

    I feel you! Every single day I want to quit. I have gone from speedy enthusiastic new grad, to apathetic 15 hour a day zombie. It absolutely disgusts me how big the disconnect is between what they...

    Anjann replied to luv2shopp85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    pah! I do the rollercoaster of emotions everyday. Am I good enough? Did I make the right decision? Am I really qualified? Should I be pushing this med unsupervised? I cry more now than I ever...

  16. What nursing school did everyone attend?

    Anjann replied to SoontobeAdrienneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Anjann replied to Rtkam's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  19. feelings about double rooms

    Anjann replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Anjann replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello fellow newbies! My name is Angela. I'm 35, and I have had every kind of job and earned multiple less useful degrees until finally coming to the realization that nursing was what I was supposed...

    Anjann posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anjann replied to RNKPCE's topic in Patient Medications

    They say that JACO is trying to discourage IV Phenergan altogether R/T necrosis, pt. discomfort, and the fact that it can blow the IV line if given repeatedly. I have heard that the suppositories and...

  25. Are any new grads going to med-surg

    Anjann replied to awalke13965's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went straight into M/S and I like it. I didn't want to go straight into a specialty and not get the general experience. Plus, I like the broader variety of patients!
