1. Junk in the trunk

   stinkyluk replied to hardworkdedication's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I am built like that too as well as short so I have a problem with the crotch hanging too low too. I just bought some Dansko scrubs and love them- not too tight, not too loose, and the petites don't have to be hemmed!

2. Name your favorite scrub top/pants!

   stinkyluk replied to champagnesupeRNova's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I love the Dansko scrubs. I am a 14 but petite (5') The petite pant fit without having to be hemmed and the top is a roomy fit without being boxy or too loose. I get hot a work and these are lightweight and move with you. Pants have two cargo poc...

3. What are the best shoes for nursing?

   stinkyluk replied to chemisttoRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have tried many different shoes and I am stuck on the Danskos. The thing to remember about them is that they are clogs even though they have the enclosed heel so you need to fit them like clogs and not running shoes. I have a high arch and plant...

4. Dialysis isnt for everyone

   stinkyluk replied to Brookeylea's topic in Urology

   I have to agree with Chas23RN. I was a new grad that was hired as an acute dialysis nurse. At first I loved it but then the horribly long hours and repetitive work day got to me. I loved the independence but didn't care for the lack of team suppor...

5. What Is It Like?

   stinkyluk replied to CJ2blpn2017's topic in Med-Surg

   I graduated last May (2011) got a job as an acute dialysis nurse and I am starting a new job in Med/Surg on Monday. YAH! During my clinical rotations, I was one of the "freaks" that actually liked Med/Surg. There is such a variety and opportunity ...

6. SHOES... glorious shoes

   stinkyluk replied to FLmed's topic in Med-Surg

   I have a high arch and a wide foot so the Danskos are my shoe of choice. I do occasionally wear the professional Crocs with a gel arch support. I wear a 40 in the Danskos and I wanted to try the Alegria. Unfortunately, the 39 was too small and the...

7. Transitioning from Dialysis to Med Surg

   stinkyluk replied to tunsie06's topic in Urology

   Hope all is going well. I am in a similar situation as you. I graduated last May (2011), was hired as an acute dialysis nurse, and got fed up. lol. I will be starting Med/Surg on Monday. I am very excited but a bit apprehensive.

8. Salary Pay for Fresenius Medical or Davita?

   stinkyluk replied to naz220's topic in Urology

   Yes, I will be in the hospitals so I think it is quite different than the clinic setting. I have a max of two patients at a time. I have to be able to set up and break down the machines to take to bedside if necessary. It is nursing with technology a...

   stinkyluk replied to naz220's topic in Urology

   LapoRtaN-I can't private message you back. I haven't had enough posts yet. Are you going for acute or chronic?

10. Salary Pay for Fresenius Medical or Davita?

    stinkyluk replied to naz220's topic in Urology

    I am a new grad as of May 2011 and was fortunate to get hired on at FMC for acutes. Starting pay is $27.50 which seems to be higher than my fellow new grads are making in the hospitals. The benefits are acceptable and there is a choice of two insur...

11. Used "Nursing Board Busters" book?

    stinkyluk replied to Casey, RN's topic in NCLEX

    I got an email from NSNA. I will see if I still have it.

12. I want to quit work and go back to school.

    stinkyluk replied to ranafrogs's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you have prerequisite classes, you can take some while you still are working full or part time. Many of the classes may be available as online classes which work out great for someone in your position but you have to be organized and dedicated. ...

13. Used "Nursing Board Busters" book?

    stinkyluk replied to Casey, RN's topic in NCLEX

    So the book was delivered today. This is different than any of the other NCLEX books I have as there are no questions. This book seems to be a content study guide. It narrows down important information from each body system along with disease s&am...

    stinkyluk replied to Casey, RN's topic in NCLEX

    I was wondering the same thing also. I saw a sample and it looks good so I'm going to try it. I got a 50% off coupon so...
