  1. if you suck at nursing interviews, clap your hands!

    I think the worst part is not hearing anything AFTER you interview. It makes my mind reel: "what did I say to turn them off?" "did I come off as too standoffish?" "did the beard make them second guess me?" A few months back I interviewed for a per-d...
  2. No provider for orders

    If it were me, I'd do whatever I needed to in order to ensure the patient was stabilized, up to and including sending someone out to the ER, and then worry about squaring up paperwork with the Doctor later. I'm alot more comfortable with being calle...
  3. 6 months, about 10 resumes, and 1 interview.
  4. Studying Anatomy and Physiology

    I ended up taking A&P 1 twice due to my misplaced conviction that I was an academic superhero, but doing so helped me to understand that spending ALOT of time in the lab can pay big dividends. Not only are you surrounded by the tools to help you...
  5. Name one of your favorite things about being a male nurse.

    My killer Spartan beard.
  6. Nursing Pay Question?

    I work in upstate NY. I passed my boards in late 2011, and an instructor landed me a job at a Home Care office where she also worked. I was offered $20...and before I even opened my mouth to accept, my instructor said "I make $21.40"! So, with no oth...
  7. Shadow People/ghosts at work

    Growing up, my best friend's Dad worked in LTC. He told us about a blind resident who would occasionally become agitated and then say "there goes that little guy" from out of nowhere. Every time he said that, another resident on the floor would pass...
  8. Is becoming a nurse really that bad?

    I graduated in 2011 and now work in a Telemetry unit at a local hospital. I tell everyone that asks that for me becoming a Registered Nurse really changed my life, for better and for worse. Better: At 36 years old, the pay is fantastic compared to a...
  9. Could really use some calming down right now

    You were ME last November! I had my first job on a Tele unit at the Hospital; did an excellent job all around...was doing everything right and impressing my preceptor. I began to (incorrectly) link my level of competence with how long they were going...
  10. And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile...
  11. I don't currently work for the VA. I just set up an appointment with HR to speak with them next week about my options; my hope is that they have something administrative.
  12. Just Another Statistic

    Please don't apologize for writing from the heart....some of my best work comes from the same place. You have a powerful writing style, and I appreciated reading it.
  13. Just Another Statistic

    Well written. The comment about the "writeups" puts a hard edge on an otherwise heartfelt story, IMO. I don't mean to sound obnoxious, but it jostled me a bit. And are we required to add APA citations after we post? Just curious.
  14. Propanolol counters the adrenergic response; my B/P is thankfully pretty rock solid. I'm going to really push my Psych for some more time to complete this course of treatment, as well as a note that states something to the effect of: "DON'T put him ...
  15. Help a guy coordinate his scrubs

    Mix and match, as I do. It's all good.
