    How do I trust my judgement after this? First Patient Death

    RNNPICU replied to nurse54361's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing and being a youtuber

    RNNPICU replied to xlightx's topic in General Nursing

    How would the hospital find out about his Youtube channel unless someone specifically wants to "out" him. I personally don't see how this channel impacts his ability to be a nurse. As long as he...

    Is asking to switch my preceptor in this scenario rude/wrong?

    RNNPICU replied to brandnewicu's topic in General Nursing

    Just as a side thought. If preceptor #1 was off during the week you were with preceptor #2, it is possible that Preceptor #1 was burned out and was needing the days off to recoup, and was just trying...

    Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    RNNPICU replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

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

    I don't see the problem wearing scrubs. I don't think srubs are any more copntaminated than any other clothes worn out in public. Wear them, be comfortable. Buy new clothes if you want new...

    Quit While in Orientation (New grad)

    RNNPICU replied to SillyFever's topic in General Nursing

    Hard to say whether or not you will be on the "do not rehire" list. You were only there for 2 weeks so there would not be clinical basis. It may not be up to your manager as to being placed on the Do...
