  1. What kind of car do you drive for those 1+ hour commutes?

    I drive my old (1995) Ford Taurus. I don't care if I beat the heck out of it driving it all those miles every week.
  2. When I graduated, the only people who had jobs at graduation were people who already worked in healthcare. Everyone else started looking. I know I was really grateful to have taken my job as a tech when graduation rolled around and pickings were mu...
  3. I have discovered that I like working nights. When I first started, I would stay up every night. Now it seems I just naturally sleep nights on my days off. I always take a nap for at least 2 or 3 hours on the day before my first night. I was scared t...
  4. Have you ever had the kind of day

    I'm not judging, just saying you may want to re-evaluate your idea of fun. :)
  5. Have you ever had the kind of day

    Whoops
  6. I drive an hour one way, sometimes an hour and fifteen or even an hour and a half if there is traffic.
  7. Things that patients say that make me smile!

    I walked in to do my assessment, and my pt asked "how much is the shrimp?"
  8. receiving pts from ED without verbal report

    We're just starting to change our report system for ED patients and have gotten a couple on the floor without any verbal report. I had a friend whose pt was an etoh pt having active hallucinations, and nobody told her he was in the room. I don't li...
  9. I wouldn't say that AZ hires. I did get a job at the hospital where I worked before graduating, but not everyone who worked here in my graduating class got a job. One person was told she could continue on as unit secretary even after passing NCLEX....
  10. Potassium tablets!

    Go for the liquid. I think the patient's K goes up quicker with the liquid than any other form, anyways.
  11. Appropriate Shoes for Interview

    I would never wear tennis shoes to an interview. I'd go to Famous Footwear and try on shoes and ankle boots until you find one you're happy with, that covers as much of your foot as you want. Like another poster said, you just have to wear them at...
  12. False + on drug screen

    I worked in a forensic laboratory for years before starting nursing school. Any positive results should be confirmed by GC/MS, and that would determine exactly what was in the urine. The false positives are from the screening tests only, not the co...
  13. Finally I got a Job!!!!!!!!!!

    Huge congrats. I hope you love your new job!
  14. So frustrated. Need advice!!

    It is totally normal to feel overwhelmed. I've been on my own for about a month, and I still feel scared. It'll be o.k., you just need to get into your groove.
  15. I want you to help me, but you will do it my way.....

    How about the dialysis patient who went home and drank a half gallon of milk washed down by a case of Pepsi? Craziness.
