  1. I'm so thankful

    mich_01085 replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    It takes a special type of person to care for children. I know for a fact that I could never work Pediatrics. God has Blessed some of us with the heart to be able to watch over these little ones....

    mich_01085 replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

  3. Is it possible to hold a p/t job while going to school f/t in nursing?

    mich_01085 replied to Captain Amazing's topic in General Nursing

    mich_01085 replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

  9. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

    mich_01085 replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    mich_01085 replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    As a new Nurse who is being "eatten alive" by the more experienced nurses in my LTC unit, I can say I am sick of the term and the actions, but I won't give in to them. I saw myself in many of those...
