  1. Working night shift and keeping up with love

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's really re-assuring to hear your story. I agree that the days off will be important. I've been told that I'll probably be working every other weekend and he does the same thing, so hopefully we...

  2. Working night shift and keeping up with love

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's something we'll definitely be able to deal with though. I've worked 8 hour nights before and I think I'll just have to get him something to snuggle up to or maybe when we get a kitten...

  3. Psych clinical fear

    pinkiepie_RN replied to nikki.p's topic in General Students

    Having had some psych clinical experience before I started my psych nursing clinicals, I have one big thing to say: it depends on where you are. I work in acute psych inpatient, where the avg length...

  4. Working night shift and keeping up with love

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your story! For some reason it slipped my mind that we could do dinner every night, even if I'm working and I think that could really help, as could breakfast and switching who makes the...

  5. Working night shift and keeping up with love

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is great. He isn't the type to want me around all the time (he plays this lovely game called World of Warcrack, lol); it's mainly the him getting lonely sleeping by himself that I'm sad and...

  6. Working night shift and keeping up with love

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be working 3-12 hour shifts/week. He works 8A-4:30P M, W, Thur, and 11A-7P every other weekend. He always has Fridays

  7. question about panel interview

    pinkiepie_RN replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've only been on one interview so far that hasn't been a panel interview, and it was still a meeting with HR and then with the NM, so I was still interviewed by 2 people. It's a little intimidating...

  8. Dealing with the future.

    pinkiepie_RN replied to motivated2nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Try talking to a peer about it! I know I'm going through the same things my classmates and soon to be colleagues are and it definitely helps. :) I also have a therapist who hears way too much of my...

  9. How long it takes to receive Att, once you submitted your application to state

    pinkiepie_RN replied to eye-sea's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My school was hopefully submitting paperwork this week and it was estimated that we'll get our ATT mid to late

  10. care packages

    pinkiepie_RN replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

    What is a care package and who would it be important

  11. Tattoos and piercings

    pinkiepie_RN replied to averna's topic in General Students

    I have a tattoo on the inside of my wrist and they said as long as I can cover it up with my watch, it's not a problem.

  12. Need some good summer reads!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh I loved that book! I think she's got a very interesting writing

  13. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    pinkiepie_RN replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    Well I stayed in school and just had him write an explanation letter, allowing for me to receive extension on papers and exams, but it's still relative. He simply explained that we had been working...

  14. Class Selection (opinions, suggestions welcomed)

    pinkiepie_RN replied to simplyashley21's topic in General Nursing

    Just a question...I thought everyone took microbiology with a lab. Is that typo or is micro really just a lecture

  15. What were your favorite classes

    pinkiepie_RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I liked the psychology/social science pre-requisites as well as A&P II. During nursing school, (no surprise) I liked Peds and Psych

  16. Personal appearance on job interviews (weird situation)

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Alright, here goes. I had my wisdom teeth extracted about 4 weeks ago. They healed fine and I thought that was it. Recently I've developed swelling and some pain in the extraction site, probably...

  17. Personal appearance on job interviews (weird situation)

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Question for you guys related to the original question - the earliest I could get in to see my oral surgeon was 7:30A. My interview is at 9A, about 30 minutes away. Should I call the hospital I'm...

  18. Personal appearance on job interviews (weird situation)

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted so badly to go today but I had class and they're in surgery during the afternoon so they said they could only do me early in the day. I'm going to see how I feel when I wake up and go from...

  19. The ugly side of Nursing

    pinkiepie_RN replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    I think there's soooo much more to nursing than blood, guts, vomit, urine and feces. Yeah sometimes you have to deal with it and depending on the population, sometimes more often than not, but that's...

  20. Did new grads shoot themsves in the foot (are jobs really that scarce?)

    pinkiepie_RN replied to keithjones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I *only* have a 3.2 GPA and have been on 5 interviews so far (no offers though) and have one coming up this week. Only one place has brought up my academics and that interview was a disaster to begin...

  21. I am probably tired, but I am sad

    pinkiepie_RN replied to qaqueen's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just a topic to think about or maybe look up, that I just learned about in my nursing issues class is "compassion fatigue". It's possible you're feeling some of that. *hugs* It can be hard to care...

  22. What Do You Think My Chances Are of Being Readmitted

    pinkiepie_RN replied to SnowRain7489's topic in General Students

    I second not mentioning other nursing schools as a back-up plan. I think a back-up plan would be to work as a CNA/tech if you think that experience would help, seek tutoring and supportive,...

  23. What factors are important when nursing someone with depression

    pinkiepie_RN replied to davidthenurse's topic in General Students

    Well, what do you know so far about caring for clients with depression? Are you in psych nursing clinical or just curious for your own personal development?

  24. What factors are important when nursing someone with depression

    pinkiepie_RN replied to davidthenurse's topic in General Students

    *tongue in cheek* If they start feeling better like the antidepressants are working, watch out for suicidal behavior. I've been told that because AD's often bring back motivation and energy,...

  25. Gift for Clinical Instructor

    pinkiepie_RN replied to ajgspn's topic in General Students

    I bought my leadership preceptor a nice coffee mug, some chocolate truffles, a DIY manicure kit, and a pretty shade of nail polish. I'm going to put it all together in a gift bag with a thank you...
