  1. criminal past?

    AlisonBSN replied to CantWait2Nurse's topic in Legal

    Your friend should go to that state's Board of Nursing website. It will give the specifics on all that. I know in Georgia, it's mostly up to whoever is sitting on the Board for that year. I'm going...

  2. "Code blue" = deer in the headlights!

    AlisonBSN replied to Momto3RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...I was feeling the embarrassment with you there for a minute, but then it happened again and I was relieved. I'm not a nurse yet (waiting to take boards) and I could see something like that...

  3. "You're a nurse...how wonderful!" (rant)

    AlisonBSN replied to arizonanurse's topic in General Nursing

    But sometimes...they say "how wonderful" because they have no clue what nursing is. It's not all comfort related. So when they are patients themselves, they think they didn't get the care that they...

  4. "You're a nurse...how wonderful!" (rant)

    AlisonBSN replied to arizonanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God! I've had these same thoughts before, but only told my best friend about them...and she still didn't get it. People look at you like you're some kind of angel and it sometimes makes me...

  5. How do you find office nursing jobs?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I just graduated with a BSN degree. I'm thinking about working in an office setting after a little MedSurg experience. But I was wondering, how do you find office nursing jobs? It's not like they...

    Thanks for the

  7. Girrrrrl...Are you losing weight??

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can't wait to hear that! I'm trying to lose some of this "college student/nursing school/I'm getting older and fatter" weight, and I was just wondering... For all of you nurses who work three 12-hour...

  8. Different types of NPs?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I posted a thread asking which type of RN experience was best for becoming an NP. I got great responses, but now I have more questions. Someone said that for FNP, working in a doctor's office or...

  9. What type of nursing experience is best for becoming an NP?

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm a new BSN grad, and I'm starting the 2-year NP program next month. I would assume that a Med/Surg background would be preferred for NPs, but I have the oppurtunity to work in the OR, which is...

  10. Will her hands fall off one day?????

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    My patient asked me something today that I didn't quite know how to answer, and I was wondering how you all answer those off-the-wall human body trivia questions that everyone likes to ask nurses....

  11. Do you think "isolation precautions" are outdated?

    AlisonBSN replied to Fairlythere's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm just dropping off a box of tissues or something, I will just open the door, place it on the table, and walk out without putting on gloves. But what I think is silly is when we're waiting on a...

  12. My Med/Surg Christmas...it's lengthy, but I'd really appreciate some advice.

    AlisonBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated from a BSN program and I've been working as a tech on this Med/Surg floor for a year that I'm thinking about working on when I get my license. I just have to tell some people about...

  13. My Med/Surg Christmas...it's lengthy, but I'd really appreciate some advice.

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate all of your suggestions. But really...I can communicate on the professional level that you all have suggested, but the situation on this floor is beyond professional. I'm really...

  14. What type of nursing experience is best for becoming an NP?

    AlisonBSN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I originally thought that I would need experience before starting the MSN program, but they said that the first year is non-clinical and they encourage students to start immediately after graduation...
