1. Terminated from job, having trouble moving forward

   DITN replied to DITN's topic in Career Support

   They said it was against corporate policy to release records to former employees. Maybe the laws are different here in Florida I guess.

2. Terminated from job, having trouble moving forward

   DITN replied to DITN's topic in Career Support

   I've been applying to a few travel agencies and they all require at least one reference. One of them stated they would take an annual clinical evaluation as a reference, but I cannot find mine anywhere and when I asked HR for a copy, it is apparently...

3. Terminated from job, having trouble moving forward

   DITN posted a topic in Career Support

   I would like some advice regarding something that happened to me recently. I have a little over 1 year experience as a new grad nurse on a med/surg unit in a medium sized hospital. I was terminated last week, and I haven't received a response back fr...

4. Chemistry skills relevant to nursing

   DITN replied to futurenurse93's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a student currently doing my RN prereqs and I have mixed feelings about Chemistry. On one hand I'm kind of glad that it isn't a prerequisite for the RN program at my college, as it isn't exactly my best subject. I still have to complete Microbiol...

5. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

   DITN replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men

   lol, this too. I like hearing about juicy details from women. Not for any kind of blackmail or spreading/reputation harming purposes, but simply because I find the subject so damn interesting.

6. Double Standard with Sexual Harassment

   DITN replied to NeuroNP's topic in Men

   Uncomfortable? LOL, is he gay? I probably would have popped a stiffy and rushed out trying to hide it...or if they were cool enough (ie they wouldn't run straight to the manager) I would made some kind of tit joke. Either way, that's a real...

7. Guys- what made you want to become a nurse?

   DITN replied to glamgalRN's topic in Men

   I had no idea what I wanted to do once I entered my community college. I picked the EMT course because it seemed interesting and I soon found out that I really liked, and am good at, health care related stuff. The EMT course was absurdly easy. I don...

8. Prayers PLEASE!!

   DITN replied to SDA3694's topic in General Nursing

   Support from this community through tips and advise from experience would help a lot more than prayers. In fact, a double blind study showed that the pts in the study who received prayers actually fared worse than those who don't. While prayers may g...

9. My first day officially as an RN!!!!!!!!

   DITN replied to bunnie004's topic in General Nursing

   Not even a nursing student yet, but just based on what I've read on these forums, don't leave a bottle of medicine in a pt's room when you suddenly have to leave for something else (ie a code). Also check your pockets before you leave so you don't a...

10. how to get a job as a new grad?

    Last post on first page.

11. How would you answer this interview question?

    DITN replied to PA_CoffeeFreak's topic in New Nurse

    God I hope I don't get questions like this when I go to interview...assuming of course I make it through nursing school and pass the NCLEX. I do agree with others though in that you should try to turn it into a positive, and don't say things like "p...

12. How much tougher is it being a CRNA vs. an RN?

    DITN replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    True. My mother doesn't work open hearts or trauma, as the hospital isn't trauma and the other anesthesia team does the open hearts. I think she mostly does ortho and GI cases, which seem to be pretty safe.

13. How much tougher is it being a CRNA vs. an RN?

    DITN replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    My mother is a CRNA and I talk to her all the time about her work. Anyways, she has over 20 years experience as a CRNA and I remember her telling me that she's only ever had a pt go into cardiac arrest once in her whole career. From the way she descr...

14. Can Addiction be "Cured"

    DITN replied to longhornfan1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, originally I just liked to get high every now and then. The rate of use eventually increased from a few times a week to many times a day over a period of months. It was all about getting high, and a person who has never done IV heroin will never...

15. Can Addiction be "Cured"

    DITN replied to longhornfan1's topic in General Nursing

    Well when you put it like that, I guess my 'higher power' was my own future, which was one of my chief motivations of quitting. I did not want to work in McDonald's for the rest of my life, provided I didn't OD and DOA before that. I still object to...
