1. Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

   Ruixi13 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with a few posters above that I would not wear any scrubs out in public for fear of being seen as dirty even if they are a fresh clean pair. Only exception I make usually is filling my gas on the way home from work because I am terrible at fi...

4. Legalized Recreational Marijuana - What Will You See in the ED?

   Ruixi13 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Emergency

   It's naive to think legalization will lead to any more cases of these not common cases. They have surely been common in ED's since MJ use has been common for decades

8. Mandatory Uniforms

   Ruixi13 replied to StudentRNmt's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have less issue with the colors than I do being given cheap material scrubs... feels like death against the skin and usually sizing is poor.

9. Scheduled to take the NCLEX today but denied because of inappropriate identification???

   Ruixi13 replied to wonderbrah's topic in NCLEX

   I used to work for an airline, and we would just make people sign their passports at the airport if they had not signed it yet beforehand. There is no rule that someone has to witness the signature take place. If the passport was pre-signed at home...

10. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    Ruixi13 replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    It's hard in the respect that we learn our whole profession in 2 years and go straight into practice whereas medical school they finish 4 years of study and still have years more of training as a resident which is rigorous in its own right. But in ...

11. Why would a nurse push IV potassium?

    Ruixi13 replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    Ruixi13 replied to Carlos03558's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Definitely no chance for a raise.. but it might make you more appealing and sound more interesting/more likely to get an interview. Perhaps certain urban centers with large immigrant populations speaking those languages may be more inclined to hire ...

13. Prerequisites

    Ruixi13 replied to cieraburns's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took as A&P I and II, and I can't imagine having taken anatomy and physiology separately. Physiology would be fine, but anatomy alone would be sooooo boring! I'd be like "now what do this DOOO!?"

14. The overwhelming stress of nursing school

    Ruixi13 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Just like we need to learn how to triage patients you need to learn how to triage your life. I'm half-way done with my 2 year nursing program and it can be busy and stressful, but I don't think it should ever be as bad as you describe it. If a test...

15. General Ed class grades!!

    Ruixi13 replied to nursinglover123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't stress it, I think overall GPA is a little bit important only, pre-req classes are immensely more important! Since you have all A's you sound solid!
