1. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

   cassilee30 replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

   I like my job and i am not going to quit if we go to all white. Yet, I feel compelled to state my opinion because of how I feel about this matter, but I want to get other opinions on this matter before I precede. Maybe I am the one behind the times? ...

2. Please explain to me why people think this is weird?

   cassilee30 replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

   Who should I believe? I am believing my motherly instinct and not letting him have oranges until he can tell me that he does not feel well after eating an orange. If I ingest any type of orange, I break out in severe hives, get an excruciating migrai...

3. Which specialty would I expect to be hired in as a new grad?

   cassilee30 replied to manofbess's topic in New Nurse

   Generally, how long would you have to work in one specialty before being able to transfer to something a little better? Thanks to anyone who can give any input. Have a good weekend! Hi, I graduate in 11 days and I was hired directly into the ICU. ...

6. Diabetic Pet Peeves

   cassilee30 replied to bjs54321's topic in Endocrine

   I have never heard the term brittle diabetes for DI...it has always, in my tons of visits to endocrinologists and doctors and camps and seminars, been used to describe a type 1 diabetic who has blood sugars that swing easily and without apparent reas...

   cassilee30 replied to bjs54321's topic in Endocrine

   And how's the pump? I have not used it yet but they are recommending it since I have been a brittle diabetic for so long. My son is also very brittle. He can go from 40-400 in one day, easily...however, overall, the pump has kept him stable over al...

9. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

   cassilee30 replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. Making $90K with a ton of overtime (i.e. in Texas) and making $90K as your base salary (in Cali) is not the same thing. It's obvious that California RN's do make more than Texas RN's because of unions. :typing However, 90 thousand in Califor...

10. Nursing Unions-what is the good,bad, ugly?

    cassilee30 replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. And at the hospital I will be working at, I will have no choice. What bothers me the most is that our unions donate money--paritally MY money-- to political causes that I completely disagree with. Our last election had a ballat that faile...

14. Did anyone here NOT get the HepB shot series?

    cassilee30 replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    I did not receive the series, as I am very uncomfortable about the ingredients in vaccines. I personally feel that they are responsible for other illness in our society. However, I'm one of those "crazy-non-vaccine-lunatics" who, in my experience, ...
