    Community College Versus University

    I did an ABSN program at a top-rated university. I work alongside others who graduated from my program, and those who have graduated from other programs (including our local community college)....

    Daily Rant Thread

    She definitely waited until I responded to her text to post her little BS message on FB. Less than 30 minutes after. Next time I won't just take something without asking for something in return -...
  6. First of all, I'm so sorry you are feeling this way and I can definitely relate. I took a job as an inpatient rehab (IPR) & med-surg tele float when I first started (I'm a new RN too)....

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    Thanks for explaining. I did check the NCLEX pass rate back when I was choosing a school, so hopefully others can at least do that to see if they are making a wise decision. 16k is a lot to throw down...

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    So, out of curiosity because I honestly know nothing about it, someone like OP could get their diploma in FL, get licensed in FL, but not be able to get a license in another state by endorsement? When...

    Advice? The Ole' Bait & Switch (bonus shift)

    In case more context is at all helpful, the way bonus shift on my floor works, which is really unconventional (and not ideal), is that you sign-up for the bonus shift but it's basically another...

    Daily Rant Thread

    I'm a brand new RN & this really upsets me! I was like "am I right to find this frustrating or is this just another thing that is 'normal' for his profession?" How can I ensure this doesn't...

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    I'm really sorry this happened! I've never heard of such a thing but can absolutely confirm that before I got my BSN and became an RN, I had no idea what an ATT (authorization to test) even meant, or...

    Please Help Me! I’m Over It!!

    It sounds like you could use a pick-me-up in your skills of assertion. The mother may be VERY defensive, but you are the nurse, you have a professional duty to discuss certain matters with her....

    Text from Unit Scheduler reads: "Can you work 4/5 instead of 4/7, just a swap?" Me: "Sure." facebook post to unit page approximately 30 minutes later from said Unit Scheduler: "Bonus pay...

    Stoles & Cords for Pinning?

    My pinning ceremony was also graduation. I was in an accelerated BSN program for students who already had a previous non-nursing bachelor's degree. We wore our cap and gown, and also our nursing...

    Leaving nursing

    Definitely. You don't have to stay in the profession if it doesn't even bring you joy anymore. If it does bring you joy and you're an experiencing nurse who knows you're making a difference,...

    Returning to California from another state?

    I don't personally have experience with this but have heard of others who have. It's not impossible and I know people have done it, it just requires swapping from one alternative to discipline program...
  18. I use my icloud calendar so it syncs to my macbook, iphone, and apple watch. I believe if you aren't an apple user, Google calendars is very similar. My husband also shared apple calendars with me too...

    Scrub jacket to match Figs scrubs?

    I don't own any figs so I can't speak to that. But my scrub jacket is not the same brand as any of my scrubs, just the same color. I went with the jacket that would be the warmest and most comfortable...

    Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    I show up to my shifts for my patients, not just the money. I chose nursing because I feel called to it, and I love to serve others and nurture them. I work for money and don't just volunteer because...

    Drugged

    I am so very sorry! Please do make a police report and get all your medical records. If this were to come back on you, you’d have a good paper trail to confirm that you did not take drugs and...
  22. It’s such a good market for job seekers right now that one of the girls in my new grad residency got a NICU job right out of the gate! There was only one but two wanted

    The Physical and Emotional Demands of Being a Burn Nurse

    Wow. This sounds like one of the most emotional floors I could ever imagine working on. When you mentioned extubating a pt and seeing them be told their family member or pet died crushed me. Thank you...
  24. LOL I gave that up after we had our badge pictures taken on day 2. My picture still turned out stupid! I feel like I'm going to see a lot less scrub caps on acute rehab that I am on other units...
  25. I know this is a weird question, as you'd think I'd know the answer but are all floor nurses wearing scrubs caps now during the pandemic? I graduated just before the pandemic hit, and took a...
