1. How to handle lazy LPN's on the team

   ProudNeWRN replied to Nurse ABC's topic in Relations

   While they are sitting down, ask them "Can you answer that call light in room so and so or should I go help them?" Don't give them a choice of their work or CNA's work because they will just push it on CNA. Give them a choice of either theirs or yo...

2. Help a guy coordinate his scrubs

   ProudNeWRN replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Well, don't be impressed with my choice of eggplant color. I wasn't... It looked a lot more darker on the website than it actually is. I imagined it to be like an eggplant, but when I got it, it was more like reddish purple Another reason why I...

6. How to say no when someone asks for your stethoscope?

   ProudNeWRN replied to emt... rn student's topic in Relations

   I think sharing is caring. Ear canal is just a skin and as long as you wipe it, there is no problem. Just let them know that you want it back asap and he/she owes you one. Good way to build a team work, but if it is a same person asking for it aga...

    ProudNeWRN posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    So I read on posts here that people find scrubs at thrift stores. Well, I went to a local Goodwill and didn't find anything. Is there a trick to finding one? There was no uniform section so do they just get mixed up in t-shirt section or what?

    It's true that nurse needs to be attractive. However, attractiveness includes skill, confidence, passion, caring, smile, knowledge, etc along with physical beauty. We all have stories about how some "ugly" people smiled and made you think otherwise....

14. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

    ProudNeWRN replied to murs's topic in New Nurse

    What I don't understand is that why they won't let us help offset this so called "cost" of hiring new grads. I'm a new grad about to pay over $15K for RN-BSN program. I rather pay that much money to the hospital for their "training". Plus I don't ...

    ProudNeWRN replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a male new grad looking for a job and I don't see any advantages... Maybe I need to put that I am a "male" on my resume :) Anyway, I agree with most of the above. My school didn't have senior practicum and I think that is hurting a lot when it ...
