1. What constitutes "professional appearance" these days?

   Zombi RN replied to moma8gma1's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have never had an elderly patient complain about my tattoos in six years of patient care. In fact, it's most commonly my elderly patients who like them! It is so disheartening to see how extremely judgemental people are in the field of nursing -- w...

2. Differences between Canadian and USA nursing?

   Zombi RN replied to Cinquefoil's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah... my thoughts exactly, haha!

3. I got removed from my clinical practice

   Zombi RN replied to danny411's topic in General Students

   Assessment skills are the cornerstone of nursing practice... I think that it's vital to understand just how important they are. Your other skills need to come second to excellent assessment skills. Accurate assessment is how we help save lives. Pleas...

5. how long did you wait to go from LPN to RN?

   Zombi RN replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN-RN

   I don't know anything about Mercy but I do know that both Saint Anthony and INTEGRIS facilities schedule nurses for 8 hour shifts.

8. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

   Zombi RN replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality

   Actually, no, pagan means non-Christian earth based spirituality... you might be surprised to find that there are many atheist, agnostic, and even monotheistic pagans (: It's an umbrella term -- while many pagan religions are polytheistic, not all ar...

9. Washing those scrubs?

   Zombi RN replied to johnny depp23's topic in Uniform/Gear

   My land, are you serious? Wash after every wear in hot water! I don't own that many so my scrubs basically get washed weekly. As for when I last bought, I had to buy scrubs specific for school clinical this past week. For reasons other than school, t...

    Zombi RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! I'm looking for any information anyone can give me who has volunteered with Mercy Ships -- either currently or in the past. From the website I am pretty interested but was hoping maybe to hear from someone with experience w/them? (:

11. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Zombi RN replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality

    It is not necessary to be religious or spiritual to be a nurse, and neither makes anyone a better nurse, either. The teacher is taking liberties.

13. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    Zombi RN replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality

    Atheist pagan in the Bible belt, married to another atheist nurse. I wear a pentacle at work, usually no one says anything. I always refuse to pray with patients, though, and my husband does the same. Neither of us discusses our religious beliefs wit...

    Zombi RN replied to Tariejay's topic in Oklahoma

    Thank goodness! I got a call Thursday informing me that my request to be transferred from traditional day to online was accepted, so I'm officially all set up for that. It's a huge relief to me and my husband, who weren't sure how we were going to ma...

15. Senior nursing student looking to work in Critical Care - advice please!

    Zombi RN replied to meraki86's topic in General Students

    Grades don't matter, what matters is that you pass the NCLEX-RN and get your license. At my facility it's really hard for a new grad to get a specialty job without already having a foot in the door -- if you could work even part-time as a tech for an...
