  1. I know a nurse who did a BSN and then became an investment banker -- I did the reverse.
  2. You know your pt is a jerk if........

    OMG! Because he, as a meth addict, is sooooooo attractive.
  3. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    Not necessarily. Our tech college just changed theirs and I have a friend working there. Apparently it was like the "great debate". One of our private college uses all white and I think it looks very smart...plus it make student easily identifiab...
  4. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    At least your school reminds you to press your scrubs. I think some students forget to look in the mirror before they walk out the door to clinical. No polishing shoes...that is so cute and old school. Sounds like my old Scottish aunt is on their a...
  5. hostile staff member

    It seems to me that you have two options: 1) Stay and feel the need to CYA on a daily basis about everything -- this is NO way to live 2) Seek employment elsewhere Ages ago I worked in a place where I actually kept a personal log of everything I did ...
  6. I had this exact problem. Apparently the immunization records should be "with the State". They were not and as I didn't live in that state anymore (NY) I wasn't likely to get far with my inquiries. If you cannot find them easily just get new immuni...
  7. Stethescopes

    This is fine as long as you are able to keep hold of it during clinicals...good luck with that!
  8. Uh Oh- background/criminal check!

    I am curious...who here has had to submit to a credit check? If you have what kind of facility/position were you going for?
  9. One would think so. See my other post. I don't have any statistics to hand so someone here might blast me.... I understand that if you get TB they usually recommend an HIV test. Hopefully your boyfriend was counseled about this.
  10. Don't worry so much! Go get the 2 step test (usually your city or county public health dept. does this for a nominal fee (mine is $15). If you get a reaction it can only mean you have been exposed, BUT they will do a chest xray if there is a reacti...
  11. Work colleagues but only a couple of them (they are very consistent though). At least the patients are sick/injured/in pain -- people not at their best don't behave their best. Now if the question was "Who is worse, patients or family members?". I'...
  12. Volunteering and Nursing School

    Some hospitals, like mine, only require a 2 hour a week commitment. Normally I would encourage everyone in NS to volunteer in a hospital (or similar) but as you already work in one why don't you try a strategic move? Think about what you want to get...
  13. nursing abbreviations

    Indeed. Ask for the guidance document(s) on this subject.
  14. Narc count---missing meds...

    You have had some good remarks. If there was no count when you came in then there was no count when someone before you went off. That would make 2 shifts responsible. I am sure you feel sick as a pig about all of this right now. Keep your head up....
  15. Schedule Issues

    I am so sorry. This sort of thing is really unacceptable. Maybe next time you need to take a picture with your phone camera (that would be a funny remark if it did not seem necessary). What is their policy regarding swapping shifts with other work...
