  1. Disturbed Energy Field

    pinkiepie_RN replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    I am a believer in reiki and therapeutic touch, although it's nothing that I would bring into nursing practice unless on a volunteer basis or if I were certified in TT or reiki and intervening as a...

  2. interview for two new grad psych jobs

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Well I had the interviews last week and it was madness. The general psych unit presented a variety of advancement and educational opportunities, and the staff were really supportive and the...

  3. Too much 1st semester?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on whether you think you can handle that or not. My first semester of nursing classes, I took Pathophysiology, Fundamentals, Nursing Skills, Health Assessment, and Pharmacology. I...

    Tuesday morning after my morning class. *crossing fingers for no

  5. interview for two new grad psych jobs

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Hmm...I'll definitely take that into consideration. I'm interviewing on the general psych floor first, and then doing share time with both so I think it'll depend on what kind of vibes I get from the...

  6. Microscope?!?!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in General Students

    I mean, I used a microscope when I took micro as a pre-requisite...maybe that's what they recommend it

  7. interview for two new grad psych jobs

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm in the state of Maryland and these opportunities are at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I'm super

  8. interview for two new grad psych jobs

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    According to the website, the neuropsychiatry unit provides "individualized inpatient treatment for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders for: maladaptive behavior related to substance-abuse...

  9. Crazy Instructor....I've had enough!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    While I'm not typically one for semantics, bipolar disorder is not something to be taken lightly. It's also not a crutch that should explain or justify one's behavior. If this lady is sick, it's...

  10. Going into psych as a new graduate

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I currently work as a mental health tech in a free standing psychiatric facility. Due to my work experience and my minor in psychology, I'm appearing quite marketable to a psychiatric floor in a...

  11. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in General Students

    So this may not sound like a big deal to anyone, but a classmate made me feel really uncomfortable today on the way to, during, and from clinical. We carpool (there's three of us that live close) and...

  12. Going into psych as a new graduate

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks. I guess I'm just worried that with the job market being weird and that hospitals aren't taking as many new grads as usual I won't be able to get a peds job and I don't really want to do...

  13. Almost grads-- how many jobs are you applying for?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to kadell's topic in General Students

    I'm applying everywhere and anywhere that I'm remotely interested in working. I'm interested in a few different specialties and am flexible, but I'm putting my feelers out where I can. I have an...

  14. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    I take 0.5 - 1 mg of Klonopin PRN and it hasn't affected my ability to care since taking it, but I will clear it with my CI just to be certain. I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need...

  15. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks. It's funny, because I carpooled with a classmate last semester and it worked beautifully. I think when you add multiple people to it, that's where it has more potential to go funny. When...

  16. New Grad in the PACU?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to jsnj2009's topic in PACU

    I've worked a student nurse tech in same day surgery PACU and loved it too! I keep hearing that most places want you to have ICU/critical care experience (for good reason) but I'm sure there are...

  17. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your comment and advice. I've always tried to be assertive when it comes to things like projects and that kind of thing and most of the people I've met in nursing school have treated me as...

  18. Snarky classmate + anxiety issues

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

    Thanks. Personally, given my experience today I'd rather drive myself than have her in my car. I'm not sure how I feel about being in a car with her or my other classmate driving because if she's...

  19. anti depressents

    pinkiepie_RN replied to la mama 310's topic in General Students

    No more than if you have diabetes and are on insulin or hypertension and are on beta blockers. I have bipolar disorder, type II, as well as anxiety and some form of PTSD. I'm on a benzo and an...

  20. Now its getting outta HAND !

    pinkiepie_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Since this apparently isn't new behavior for her, I'm sure other people have probably complained or tried to re-direct and gotten nowhere as well. Your best bet aside from going above her head is to...

  21. Job crunch for new grads

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Wow, so I'm graduating in May with my BSN and am working on job hunting. I'm amazed that alot of new grad programs are filling up so early, but I guess hospitals are feeling the economic crunch too....

  22. How much do CNA / Techs make?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to skyblue77's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Student nurse jobs are far and few between to come by, I think. I'm a student nurse at GBMC and have been in the position since my second semester (out of 4) of nursing classes. Each unit is allowed...

  23. Job crunch for new grads

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I've definitely done some networking and it's already started paying off. I work per diem at GBMC and Sheppard Pratt and have applied to jobs there. I got a call from GBMC saying that once they know...

  24. Can you transfer schools during clinicals?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to k-t-did's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's that easy. Commutes to clinical sites are something you just have to deal with in nursing school. I've had no say where I was placed for clinicals and I've been everywhere from 5...

  25. I Love my instructor, but she is a big PROBLEM

    pinkiepie_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Are you in Maryland at a school that begins with the letter "T"? I remember alot of questions that had nothing to do with the material at hand. Use the powerpoints and do the practice questions.
