  1. Holiday schedule strife, AGAIN!!!

    Don't sweat it! Let her burn her bridges and have her own little psychotic episode!
  2. I don't fit into nursing& nurse eating

    Wow! Amazing! And I don't mean in a good way. This actually nauseates me. I would consider reporting the woman who threatened you to the police. Where I come from it is illegal to utter a threat,...
  3. Maybe someone knows. I am currently working on a TN that expires in December. I do not have my visa screen. Come December, will I even be able to get another TN without the visa screen? Can I...
  4. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

    You can lose some sensation, but I don't think that happens all the time. It's just a risk. I have sensation, for what it's worth!
  5. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

    I've had it done, at the same time I had grafting done. I can honestly say that it is the easiet, least painful surgery I've ever had. I'm sure it would make a world of difference in your life!...
  6. seeking infomation

    I am not sure. I have never met a Canadian LPN in the USA, come to think of it, but that doesn't mean anything. I would just call a hospital you might be interested in working at, and ask them....
  7. job problem face

    I sent you an
  8. What about when it's your family?

    I am so sorry about your dad and that you had to go through this. I have experienced similar issues and feeling with my own family, and it nauseates me to think that this happens to others, as well....
  9. job problem face

    Me and my husband recently got FT perm positions in the ICU in SK. I am told that of course there is a nursing shortage, and that ICU's are hardest hit, which seems normal. I have worked in both...
  10. RN, MSN = Secretary?!

    Personally, I have been so angry at work that I have been tempted to throw it all away. My anger has errupted into my personal life, making me even angrier. Take care of yourself and the situation....
  11. I don't know if this really qualifies, but I have run into nurses that are unable to read IV bags. For example, Jane Doe RN walks up to me, shoves an IV bag in my face, and asks if this is normal...
  12. Is this a joke? Please give your opinions...

    Really? Every job I was ever offered in Idaho was higher than what the OP
  13. anyone done lipo or work in plastic surgery?

    I can't really comment on lipo, but I have had hundreds of reconstructive plastic surgeries, and they were all painfull and hellish, and it would take me months to recover from one. I have scarring...
  14. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    LPN's, CNA's and everyone else is worth their weight in gold! I hate RNitis, as I've heard it
  15. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    You are absolutely correct...that is the part that I took exception to. Oh well, c'est la vie, I say. I said my part and I'm moving
  16. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    It seems that way. I didn't want to be sensitive, but I re-read the post several times, and it just bothered me more and more each time. I'm a 2 year nurse, and apparently I'm not worthy!
  17. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    I am a 2 year RN. What's wrong with that? Now I feel like you're taking shots at
  18. Travel Nurse Job - Your Own Utilities?

    Some companies are like that, and they usually aren't very good. Give Travel Nurse Solutions a call 888-300-5132, ask for Niki. I am not traveling any more, but they're the best I've seen, and...
  19. I have chronic back, feet and leg issues, and all I can wear are Birkenstocks. I have a pair of Pasadenas and a pair of Baltimores that I use for work. They are lace up with a full back. They're...
  20. This issue is a sore spot with me. When we had to do bed baths, etc., in school, I refused to do it since I had 3rd degree burn scars, and I thought they were no one's business! I told the...
  21. Specific Travel Company for CALI

    I have traveled for quite a few years, and the ONLY company I would use is Travel Nurse Solutions (TNS). They staff across the country, including CA. Ask for Niki or Amber 888-300-5132. They...
  22. Breast Reduction ???? To or not to ????

    I had it done in conjuction with some grafting. Grafting always hurts, but there was nothing to the breast reduction! I have very minimal scarring, not overly noticeable, really. Be advised though...
  23. I need help!

    I didn't study in school, because I didn't know how! So I had to absorb my info from lectures. I found if I REALLY concentrated in class, it was better than my feeble attempts at studying. Is there...
  24. feeling like there's a lump in my troat

    I have been going through the same thing for the last month or two. I was actually starting to worry that I had a tumor, or something! I started to take a combination of pepcid and zantac, and feel...
  25. Canadian RN Exam

    Hi, I never studied for the CNATS or the NCLEX, and had no problems. I just used common sense, tried not to psych myself out and really read the questions well. Good
