   On her facebook she was extremely vocal this weekend about her opinion. Since Monday though nothing - can't help but wonder if she was terminated over her post. There's no take backs on social media!

2. Night shift RN's :Do you eat in the morning after your shift?

   bagface replied to DesertSky's topic in Stress 101

   It depends on my mood honestly. A lot of times I'll eat dinner foods before going to bed (my system says it's dinner time). Which can vary from a salad to soup to any sort of meat. If you're looking for more breakfast type foods I use the carnation ...

4. nursing school THAT hard?

   bagface replied to happytypingirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think it depends on the program/person. For example: 1) Our school refused to accommodate a fellow classmate who had cancer - she needed the cancer removed - urgently. She took two tests three weeks before the semester was even over, only for the p...

8. Illegal Drugs & HIPAA

   bagface posted a topic in HIPAA

   I work in a very busy ED, my husband works in another hospital in our area that is also a very busy ED. While we were talking something he said caught me off guard. His hospital searches their patients pockets if they are a psych/trauma/intoxicated p...

9. What does your Head to Toe really consist of?

   bagface replied to mykg's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly a head to toe takes me less than 10 minutes, usually around 8 minutes give or take depending on the patient severity. When I did med surg in school we would have 4 patients assigned to us and their full care was ours and ours alone. I always...

10. No Good Very Bad Nursing Instructor

    bagface replied to misskitty22's topic in General Students

    Life is life.. you are going to get terrible instructors. Unfortunately this will happen. I had an instructor that had it out for me because I reported her for unethical behavior (she made me take patients who didn't want a student nurse and then whe...

    bagface replied to nowim clean's topic in General Students

    Although I don't camp out in the breakroom this has been a huge issue in our school. I've had to leave the OR during an active procedure because I had to go to post-conference, I've missed out on cardio cath's because if I went it meant not completin...

    bagface replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Windsurfer - I care because I'm on a committee that students give feedback to the college on policies that are developed each year. Several of us were handpicked from the beginning and we have made a huge difference in the current practices/policies ...

15. Does your school discourage working?

    bagface replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    Ours also discourages working. However if you work at the hospital affiliated with them you get a 90% discount off tuition so -- why WOULDN'T you work with that discount? I work for a different hospital in an ER as a tech and I love it. I think my ho...
