   NewGrad2014 replied to NewGrad2014's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you so much RunBabyRN. Your response actually helped a lot.. I really am eager to learn and I hope that comes through in my interview tomorrow. I'll spend tonight thinking about situations I've dealt with in school/the past few months in the co...

2. Community to OB Nursing

   NewGrad2014 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I graduated as an RN last year and, although I applied to many acute positions, I have been working in the community ever since. I am in an administrative position.......the most nursing skills I use is to teach PSWs to apply compression stockings or...

   AHHHHHHH I just got my results and PASSED!!! I cried out of pure relief. Congratulations nurses, four long years behind us! Here's to our futures :)

   Longest weekend ever!!! Had a horrible fail dream last night. Come on Northern Ontario!

   I did the same thing as erikauy_23 - I feel like I did terrible although the questions seemed easy at times. This is a horrible feeling.

6. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

   NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'm not refuting you know way more than I do - doesn't mean I can't make a valid argument for why colour coded scrubs aren't a horrible direction to go in.

7. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

   NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I disagree. I think that nursing is a profession and trying to take a more uniform (haha) approach is understandable.. So long as it's practical and there are reasons for it. And while you seem to have 100% knowledge that they do not help patients no...

8. Text message for job interview?

   NewGrad2014 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN/LVN

   Something about your situation gives me the creeps! When you google this clinic does anything come up? The doctors name not coming up is too strange to overlook - before going for an interview please please verify that the address IS this wound care ...

   NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Okay, well either way we have to buy scrubs anyway. Would be a nice perk though!

10. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    NewGrad2014 replied to kelligracie's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I would love to have colour coded scrubs- as long as they are comfortable and practical and NOT white I am all in. Plus since they would likely be institution ordered they would probably be discounted. While I agree that it may not help all patients ...

11. recording classes?

    NewGrad2014 replied to w292737's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster - at least at my school they took it very seriously when a student would record without the instructors permission. Ensure you have their ongoing consent (why not make it informed, just to make it even more nurse-y ) ...

12. L&D not for me?

    NewGrad2014 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't been in this situation yet but I can imagine your stress! I've had similar feelings throughout school - not feeling prepared or confident in my abilities. If you love what you're doing, I hope you stay with it. It can be so hard to find a ...

13. Did I violate HIPAA?

    NewGrad2014 replied to nursing_student93's topic in HIPAA

    I think this is a very thin line. As an employee nurse, bringing up another patients chart with no acceptable reason, of which there are few, would be a violation of privacy. As a student, your intentions were to learn. I still have a gut feeling it ...

14. LPN Job Duties

    I sincerely hope karma bites you where you deserve it.

15. LPN Job Duties

    NewGrad2014 replied to Hoping2BeANurse's topic in LPN/LVN

    I had a hard time just reading this and not responding. If caring for a persons basic need is too far below your importance level as a human being and title... I don't even have the words to express how sorry I feel for your patients. Or for you for ...
