   Is Phlebotomy necessary to pursue nursing?

   Nursynursenurse replied to Tt_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Too Fat To Be A Nurse?

   Nursynursenurse replied to Newprospnp's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure if you are trolling or if this is real. Just because you can eat and feel satisfied with a maintenance calories doesn't mean that someone else can. If the above was true then NOBODY would...

   That comment really upset me and made me think of the time when my nursing instructor noticed that I was quiet and not conversing with the group during clinical. She said, “If you can barely talk...

   What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

   Nursynursenurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   This is very true, vulva/labia are forbidden words. When I worked in an outpatient lab we had posters that explained how to collect a clean catch urine. For males it said to wipe around the tip of the...

   Ear bug!

   Nursynursenurse replied to JenTheSchoolRN's topic in School

   In fear of losing my license.

   Nursynursenurse replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

   Many posters keep asking how he found out she was a nurse and where she works as if she is to blame. She said she met him through work which hardly makes him a "virtual stranger" or some creeper she...

    In fear of losing my license.

    Nursynursenurse replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    Are we as nurses not allowed to use our real names or say our occupation when going on a date? I don't know. It would be kind of shady if I couldn't verify my date's identity or if he wouldn't tell me...

    Nursynursenurse replied to jrstephens1's topic in General Nursing

    Had the BON taken her seriously the first time, she wouldnt have had to keep calling and emailing them. It is my understanding that they sided with her employer from the start while breaking their own...

    Nursynursenurse replied to jrstephens1's topic in General Nursing

    Reading your story makes me want to go back to college and get a backup degree for when I get wrongfully terminated. What ever happened to innocent before proven guilty? Who is in charge of making...

    I used to think that I'm an introvert but found out I'm actually a shy extrovert. I get anxious around people and have social phobia but hate being alone. I love going out and socializing, I'm just...
