    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  2. I'm an apple.

    katieusa posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This is not in response to "can a fat nurse be a good nurse", but it did get me thinking. I am a true apple shape: thick in the middle, thin arms and legs. I still want to look professional in my...

  4. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    katieusa replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    One advertised position in our area required a photo with the resume and stated that if you wouldn't send a picture then do not send a resume. I thought that was very weird. However, being desperate,...

  6. Finding an RN job

    katieusa replied to LisaMR's topic in General Nursing

    After searching and applying online for over 7 months, I finally started pounding the pavement the old fashioned way. And had 2 interviews within 3 days and have a follow up interview for one of those...

  7. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

    katieusa posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I have had it. On the premise that we must get our scores up, we are now given assigned charting times, one time per shift , must chart in a break room (this never works because our assigned charting...

  8. Discrimination Against Relocaters

    katieusa replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Take it from a small town girl (pop 5,000)...we are a nosy bunch. We all know each other and we know everybody elses business. And if we don't know, we make something up. We ask what we want to know....

  9. Question About Abortion

  12. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Not the same place then, :). I did leave that job, however. It is such a shame because it was a great place to work until HCAHPS and everything is what the patient "perceives" (even though they are...

  13. DONE with interviews and indecision - it's depressing

    katieusa replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I have been an RN for 5+ years. After moving with my family last year, I have applied for countless jobs (even out of the medical field)...after 9 months finally got a prn that I don't even like, but...

  15. REALLY bad hair day

    katieusa posted a topic in General Nursing

    A woman visiting a patient of mine last week had the strangest thing going on with her hair. The front was cut very short but looked kind of normal. The back, however, was past her shoulder and...

  16. REALLY bad hair day

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in General Nursing

    No, I have not found out what it was, although I still have nightmares about it getting on me! Sometimes, when I go in that same room to see a patient, I think I can still smell it...yikes. The links...

  17. REALLY bad hair day

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in General Nursing

    The formed mullet was a good description of how it actually looked. I have searched the internet for something that looks like it but could not find anything. Going to check out peopleofwalmart. I...

  18. REALLY bad hair day

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in General Nursing

    If it is dreadlocks, I would say it is one large dreadlock. Would this be intentional? Do you think she can't smell it? So maybe, one day she woke up with a tangle, didn't brush it out, let it go, and...

  19. REALLY bad hair day

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I also would have been laughing if I had not been smelling

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Just to let everyone know, I am 2 months into my new job, learning new things, and SITTING DOWN TO CHART. I am glad I made the change. From what I hear, things are pretty much the same at my old place...

  22. How Hard is Nursing School?

    katieusa replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    It was just so much info, so fast. I kept thinking that if all this was so dang important, they should slow down a little bit! Very high pressure. Totally sucked. But what an accomplishment. You will...

  23. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

    katieusa replied to katieusa's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Thanks for your comments and online hugs :). It never occurred to me to write the board of nursing. Good idea. I have 2 more days to work and will make the best of

  24. Gold Star Stickers For Nurses??

    katieusa replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    They could do things like my child's 4K. After you get 5 stars you could go to the treasure box and get a bouncy ball or funny glasses with a big nose and bushy

  25. No Holiday Pay?

    katieusa replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    We get holiday pay if we work night shift going into the holiday and day shift on the holiday (time and 1/2), but no holiday pay on night shift starting the day of the
