1. Professionalism....name your irritation here!

   foxlover replied to LobotRN's topic in Professionalism

   I actually had to buy a larger size, and then have them tailored with darts in the back so they wouldn't swallow me, but wouldn't be too tight either. I'm a small girl, but have a fuller bust...

2. Professionalism....name your irritation here!

   foxlover replied to LobotRN's topic in Professionalism

   I'm still a student, but I can't believe that they don't impress the HECK out of professionalism in SCHOOL and at job ORIENTATION!! What?! I guess a lot of the young nurses have to learn by making mistakes and being called out, but if I were doing th...

   foxlover posted a topic in General Nursing

   Without giving away too much personal info: I already hold one degree, I'm *almost* over-the-hil, and I'm finally fulfilling my dream of going to nursing school. I am smart. I am a problem solver. I am compassionate. I am at my best in the middle of...

8. People really need to stop coming into nursing

   foxlover replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

   I hope I'm not the only one who believes in "DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO!" OP, you do sound a bit frustrated, but I'll be the one to decide my future. Granted, I'm not a 2.5 GPA'er, I already have a previous degree, working on BSN, and I understand...
