  8. What Does Your Grade Consist Of?

    Cree8ive1 replied to mike1973's topic in General Students

    Great topic! I've often wondered about what other programs out there do. I think there's a huge difference in the way two-year programs are structured vs. BSN programs. I chose a ADN program (even...

    Cree8ive1 replied to nancynjnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi, Iam. I'm not really a good source of info about Ancora because I only did a three-shift clinical rotation there (Cedar D is a men-only ward). The only real rumor I've ever heard is that it's a...

    Cree8ive1 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    Man, that's crazy! You poor thing. Seriously...do you have a union? Is it that you're short staffed? Or that they've just cut some positions due to our lovely economy? This sounds like an issue for...

    Cree8ive1 replied to mjrage21's topic in International Nursing

    What's a "pinoy" nurse, and "ielts"? Sorry...I just like to learn all the new terminology for stuff. I'm just a nursing student, so I don't know about the process for applying for NZ nursing jobs, but...

    Cree8ive1 replied to VU RN BSN's topic in Psychiatric

    Hey, Villanova! I totally agree with the previous poster, and would say to go for it! Honestly, how many people out there in this world do you know who are "completely emotionally healthy?" I'd...

    Cree8ive1 replied to Cree8ive1's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks, you guys! I used the escalator thing as the hook, and then talked about the chemical properties of Lithium and it went really well...love it when you teach your instructor something new!...

    Cree8ive1 replied to nancynjnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm in my last year of nursing school, and just finished a rotation at Ancora. I found it rather intriguing, and wouldn't mind working there except I don't think there's much RN/patient contact, which...

  19. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Absolutely awesome story (and phenomena!), HQ! I have never heard of this before, and have now officially spent the afternoon reading the sites you linked above (instead of studying -- I'm a third...

  20. Lithium -- teaching "hook?"

    Cree8ive1 replied to Cree8ive1's topic in Psychiatric

    Actually, Elk, it's interesting you should say that. I'd heard that about Lithium somewhere before and asked my husband (a chemist) about it today. I told one of my co-presenters about this, and she...

    Cree8ive1 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I guess the best person to ask would be your DON or administrator, no? Other than that, it's really just a matter of personal opinion/choice, I think. I don't know that I'd wear dancing skeletons to...

    Cree8ive1 replied to Cree8ive1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  25. A rant: sick time use and policies

    Cree8ive1 replied to andre's topic in General Nursing

    See, it's petty stuff like this that makes me question my decision to be a nurse! It's SO sad. I totally agree with the original poster: why do organizations even GIVE sick time if you're penalized...
