    pinksugar replied to nickikh23's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as an extern on an oncology unit during school. I was never expected to act as a tech (I would help with pull ups and cleaning incontinent patients, but I never did baths, patient rounding...

  2. So is hospital nursing better than long term care?

    pinksugar replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a brand new graduate nurse but I really don't think I could ever work LTC. I have so much respect for the ones of you who do. I think that you all are expected to do beyond what is capable for...

    pinksugar replied to RiaRN's topic in General Nursing

    We aren't supposed to go to the ER. Only employee health will handle our cases. If employee health isn't open at the time of the stick, we go to the ER, but as soon as the next business day rolls...

    pinksugar replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be watching this thread. You wouldn't happen to be referring to the program at University of Maryland, would you? I am interested in their program but I have the same questions that you

  7. Any patients you couldn't stand et how did you deal?

    pinksugar replied to fultzymom's topic in General Nursing

    I was lucky enough to be able to spend a day following a WOCN at clinical. I have been hired in an ICU/CCU after graduation but I think I too may be interested in wound care someday. It is...
