   Borchey, RN, BSN replied to NinjaRN's topic in Wisconsin

   Hey all. I graduated from Bellin College of Nursing in 06' and I feel that the college really prepared me for my nursing career. The clinicals were around town and easy to get to. Many learning experiences and lectures were pretty good. Yes, it was...

   Borchey, RN, BSN replied to TRFunguy's topic in Rehabilitation

   I work in a acute inpatient rehab facility. We were also trained by the FIM coordinator every couple of years to keep things up to date. Not the funnest scoring system in the world but it does have its benefits.

   Borchey, RN, BSN replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

   This is a funny one that is still said around our nursing unit. When it has been a really hectic day and there is no time to tape report for the next shift, nurses would say "I think I am just going to give oral". Everyone just looks at that nurse a...

6. Would you call in because you didn't get any sleep?

   Borchey, RN, BSN replied to Elvish's topic in General Nursing

   Sleep is very important. No matter where you work, how many hours you work, I don't care what anyone else says but if you work days it is less likely you will call in because of a lack of sleep. If you are scheduled to work nights and don't get an...

7. 8 vs 12

   Borchey, RN, BSN replied to 12hour's topic in Rehabilitation

    Borchey, RN, BSN replied to delta32's topic in Rehabilitation

    I have been working in our Rehab unit for a little over a year and a half and I love it. But I will have to admit, rehab units do have high turnover rates and ours is seeing this first hand at the current place in time. We had 2 Full time nurses qu...

11. how many pairs of scrubs do you have?

    Borchey, RN, BSN replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Scrubs are my life. I LOVE wearing them. The more that you have the more that you feel like you have a choice in what you wear. I feel like if I had an office job, I would have to just buy nice clothes which could get expensive....but on the other ha...
