  1. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    LovingLife123 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    And I don’t at all disagree with you on that point. Social distancing should have been practiced and while I didn’t see what you are talking about because frankly, I refuse to watch the news and...

  2. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    LovingLife123 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    My whole point is, if Susie has Covid and goes out in public with her fabric mask, and I’m negative and go out in public wearing a surgical mask, I’m not protected from Susie. You missed the...

  5. I don't think any of the preceptors I've had are good... but no one else seems to see it?

    LovingLife123 replied to Guest1158260's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I think you are wrong about some things and maybe right on others. But it doesn’t matter what I think. These are your preceptors. If you want to continue to work there and be an ICU nurse,...

  9. New to Here

    LovingLife123 replied to LovingLife123's topic in Exercise and Healthy Living's Exercise

  10. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    LovingLife123 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I’m proud of the fact that I can do that. Not everyone can. I know you are new to the field, but truly, if this is your thought process, I see extreme burnout happening quickly. Having such a...

  11. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    LovingLife123 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    LovingLife123 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

  14. Pharmacology 101

    LovingLife123 replied to dadaui66's topic in General Students

    Drugs are kind of a big deal and you need to know them. Sometimes, my patients have home meds that I’m not super familiar with and I still look it up before I give it. People can die if...

  15. Why is this LPN struggling so much to get into RN school?

    LovingLife123 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    All RNs take those general prereq classes. There’s really no way around it. Chemistry, micro, life span, sociology, college algebra..... all prereqs required for an RN. I agree that the...

    LovingLife123 replied to guest1156666's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you do not normally shake things off. This was one interaction, with one charge nurse. That’s not bullying. She was being honest with you that she had concerns. I think you need to...

    LovingLife123 replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

  19. Over $300k in student loans - help.

    LovingLife123 replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

    Is it $256 in federal student loans? Or are these private, individual loans? Did your parents co-sign these loans? How did they acquire this money to live on from you? I second Dave Ramsey. He’s...

  20. Hourly pay but overtime not approved...

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse0909's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think it would not be legal? Do you think there is a law about what time you have to report to work? A company can adjust your hours however they like. There’s no laws concerning...

  21. adrenaline junkie==RN?

    LovingLife123 replied to nursingworldwhy's topic in General Nursing

    LovingLife123 replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not defensive at all, so I’m not sure where you are getting at. You are reiterating my point, there are constraints in an LTC so the OP, should not be critiquing everything a previous shift...

    LovingLife123 replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing

    LovingLife123 replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing
