Wearing scrubs in public...
Changing into hospital provided scrubs when you get to work does not magically make you germ-free. Unless you autoclave yourself in the pocess.

Protecting your PDA from theft
I'm pretty certain a hard reset would allow it to be used. However, any personal or confidential data would be eliminated (along with any other info that wasn't on the unit when it was delivered from the manufacturer)

For those who have already taken NCLEX
I was a staight A student. After graduation I practiced 100-200 questions every day for three weeks and would routinely get 70-80 on the review tests. That really concerned me, but I passed with 75 questions in about 40 minutes. Since graduation (two years ago) I have heard the same thing from other people. I didn't take the Kaplan course, but I did sign up for a four day review by my school. I couldn't tolerate the non-stop spewing of facts without drifting off mentally, so I left during the very first break. It just didn't fit how I study and retain knowledge. But that's just me. Good luck!!

Nurses Will Eat Anything
I love kimchi soup. They're sold in most supermarkets. They are packaged in plastic bowls. Just add boiling water. I eat three or four a week. Very spicy! It'll put hair on your chest.

How does an atheist deal with death?
I find it's safer not to mention my beliefs. I haven't been asked to pray. If asked, I would probably encourage the pt or family member to do the honors while I hold the pt's hand.

How does an atheist deal with death?
I am a Hospice nurse and an atheist. I am comfortable not believing in god or heaven. I am not disturbed by the idea that death is the end. But those are my beliefs and they don't enter into my practice as a hospice nurse.
