TruvyNurse

I learned Spanish at a young age and yes it's been very helpful in many aspects of my life. I have heard some people having good success with Rosetta Stone

We typically ran with 2 to 3 RNs on Med Surg with 1 CNA. Our census was typically 12-15 patients. Boy those days with just 2 nurses.. whew...

Oh honey...

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, young Grasshopper...

This sounds like they may be trying to push you out. It's unfortunate. I worked with a 62 year old LPN and management wanted to get rid of her 1) because she made more than everyone and a new nurse wouldnt be paid near as much 2) higher ups had given...

I am going to be honest, 6 years and 6 fails means that maybe nursing is not for you. No shame in that. I'm sure you are a very talented individual but shining in a different area. I'd explore some other career options. Best of luck!

In my city, there is actually a huge demand for nurses. Nurses are being lost left and right to the nearby Childrens Hospital and the VA. No one wants to work in the smaller clinics, smaller hospitals or nursing homes so they are offering insane sign...

Lol I punched a guy for grabbing my rear at a bar when I was a nurse. Nothing ever came of it but man I was worried for a long time.

I think we all get a little cocky after passing NCLEX. Her first job will knock her on her butt a time or two. I know mine did! If shes still behaving in a way you dont like, tell her! Honesty goes a long way and she may not even realize the way she ...

5 years and it has flown by!

Take it with a grain of salt. Some nurses are just nasty. Use it as a learning experience. You're going to make mistakes in ten years too! Dont sweat the small stuff.

I think this is hilarious! But I'm a bit dark thanks to Psych/Corrections

This is spot on. I love me some COBs!

Just think...its going to be awfully emabarassing when you're caring for a patient and they're like "Hey! Its Miss October!!" Although I am all for women feeling confident, and have no problem with nudity or Playboy, your coworkers may not respect yo...

From a nurse I worked LTC with: "Well I'm an RN. I took BETTER boards and am a BETTER nurse." This nut case also lied about serving in the military. I'm not a violent person but man I wanted to crack her!

When we had a patient die at the prison we'd say "he bagged and tagged!"

5...6 if I'm lucky. Insomnia is no stranger to me.

I have two small children and I have found working PRN has been the best option for my family. Maybe it's something you could look into

I'd say smile and nod. Let those nurses cook their goose doing med passes in this manner. Honestly this is pretty common in LTC. Is it right? Nope! You pass medications your own way to protect yourself. Best wishes.

Corrections!! Bet I'm the only on here that says this lol

Back in my younger pre kids days of working 2-10 I used to light a smoke and listen to music. Now I come home from 6-2 and usually stop and get a milkshake somewhere :)

Diarrhea? I got to work. Vomiting? I stay home.

I'm definitely not. I'm more tough love. I'm all for helping people out but when they aren't helping themselves or screw me over by not paying me back, taking advantage etc. Gravy train ends. I dont care if they quit liking me. They weren't true frie...

I was just wondering about her the other day!! Miss her changing tropical avatar and awesome advice on here. Wish her nothing but the best!

Is this poster for real?
