1. Calling in for no sleep

   MomAndSonInMD replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

   ^^^ This. Also, I don't know of any fields of work that would be pleased with a person calling out due to being sleepy. P.S. That's why they invented over-the-counter sleeping pills (I.e. ZzzQuil)....

3. Pocket Snacks for 12 Hour Shift?

   MomAndSonInMD replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

   I also get severely nauseous if my stomach is empty for too long (I know the reason but won't bore you with it). I learned (because it was the only thing in my purse at the moment) that gum or mints...

4. Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

   MomAndSonInMD replied to Barbie8808's topic in General Nursing

   I find this juvenile. OP, honestly. How old are you? Using correct grammar would go far in your credibility as well. Edited to add: It is disturbing that a nurse assistant would find it appropriate to...

5. New ER nurse.. Any tips?

   MomAndSonInMD replied to emergencynursy's topic in Emergency

   Yes, I was thinking the same. I know a few off the top of my head that do. In fact, one said it was one of the easiest areas to get into as a new

6. First NP JOB.. Should I stick it out

   MomAndSonInMD replied to newnp31's topic in Advanced Practice

   But the OP said they have already spoken up. OP, I have worked for bosses like this, not in nursing, but in life. I lasted 8 years where our average turnover was 6 mos. due to burnout. I kid you not....

7. Shift work and dating

   MomAndSonInMD replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

   I met my son's father on Match. I met my longest relationship on a treadmill at the gym. It's just about keeping your eyes open. You're not at work

   MomAndSonInMD replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Thank you. I do appreciate all input. I have looked into the P.A. programs, but don't post those questions here. Sadly, the ones I have reviewed do require a min. number of hours of specific...

11. Help, completely confused (pre-nursing, entry-level jobs, etc)

    MomAndSonInMD replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in General Students

    See, that's what I thought. Why these advisors give such poor advice is beyond me. Thank you. They also don't know who they are talking to. I won't eat or sleep if I need those extra minutes to ace an...

    MomAndSonInMD replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you. I appreciate your input. That is precisely why I am here asking the questions I am. I don't need a shrink, I need to know how I can pursue a passion I've had since I was as a teen within...
