    What's your pick for the perfect nurses watch?

    Devil_Duckie replied to MShell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I found a super cute digital watch on clearance at Target for $3 but I agree with another poster---washing your hands with a watch on (even if it's waterproof) bugs the heck out of me because the...

    Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    Devil_Duckie replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Your story made me cry. What you are doing to honor your sister is a beautiful thing! You, your family, and your sister are in my thoughts; it's going to be a difficult journey through school for you...

    Devil_Duckie replied to S.N. Visit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    GOOD NEWS!!!!! I got my ATT in my email inbox about an hour ago! I'd been stressing like mad that my ID document had been lost in the mail, there was a backlog of paperwork at the BON, or that maybe...

    Current trends in nursing uniforms/scrubs

    Devil_Duckie replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I currently work at, there isn't a specific dress code. Heck, I saw our night charge nurse come in the other day for a shift wearing warm up type pants and a white t-shirt! Most of the...

    Devil_Duckie replied to NNNikki's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Devil_Duckie replied to S.N. Visit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You'll need the Saunder's NCLEX review book (the CD is excellent as well!) and go to this link, follow the directions, and you're golden. Probably one of the cheaper options out there for NCLEX...

    Devil_Duckie replied to S.N. Visit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We WILL succeed, because we have the mindset, the wherewithal, and the tenacity to achieve this! I did not work my orifice off for the last four years just to get this far and let a silly exam screw...

    That DREAMY First Check!

    Devil_Duckie replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Devil_Duckie replied to jessi1106's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nice docs

    Devil_Duckie replied to Elvish's topic in General Nursing

    I was very lucky to be exposed to nicer docs and nursing staff during my clinicals in my ADN, not always the case, but there were a few that really stood out. There was the ED doc who let me shadow...

    What color Stethoscope to buy?

    Devil_Duckie replied to 09RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My first year and a half of nursing school, I had a double tubed navy Sprague scope. That thing was sooo heavy and ugly, so instead of springing for a new scope, I spruced it up a little with a cover...

    Devil_Duckie replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    My journey to nursing wasn't a very dramatic one...about six years ago (I was 15), my mom found out that she had breast cancer. My world came crashing down around me. My mom was my best friend,...
