1. CCN smoking an electric cigarette at nurses station

   NoScrubs posted a topic in Professionalism

   Today I floated to a floor I do not usually work on. When I approached the charge nurse at the nurses station to introduce myself, she was puffing on an electric cigarette. I found it really odd, but kind of let it slip my mind. Later in my shift, I ...

4. Float pool techs?

   NoScrubs replied to uds16's topic in Technicians

   Float pool techs get paid more at my place of employment. However, maybe it's because I work for an organization that branches into 4 hospitals throughout the county, so they float not just from floor to floor but from hospital to hospital as well.

   NoScrubs posted a topic in Relations

9. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

   NoScrubs replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

   Your state is one step ahead of mine. I wish this were the case. Like I said, I don't agree with it; it puts too much responsibility on the instructor. At times it seems like the students roam the unit like its a free for all.

10. Other Side of the "Clinicals" Coin

    NoScrubs replied to krisiepoo's topic in General Students

    I have a hybrid group of 1st semester nursing students assigned to my unit for clinicals 2x per week. There are 16 students to 1 instructor. First off, that is way too many students assigned to 1 instructor to be responsible for; I feel bad for the g...

    Hello all- I'm brand new to the site- not 100% sure if this is the correct category to post my topic in so my apologies in advance. Any fellow nurses had the pleasure of attending a convention? What have you learned? Just curious... I have never been...
