  1. Question to NEW GRADS in the OR

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to phluteloop's topic in Operating Room

    Get the AORN student membership and start attending meetings in your area. Also, if you have a final year "practicum" (or something similar) elect to spend a semester in the OR - you will make...

  3. VENT: Depressed and Discouraged...Wasn't Accepted

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Dottie, RN's topic in General Students

    "Does this mean nursing wasn't meant to be?" No, it just means that the economy is very tight and people are seeking safe harbour in secure jobs = applications to nursing school are up. It sucks, I...

  4. Calling all missionaries!

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to JettRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Although I was not a missionary I did live in the Sudan for several years. I also spent a good deal of time working in other parts of Africa. If you would like to PM me I would be happy to answer...

  5. Interpersonal Conflicts we all have

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Poison_IV's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about when you say she took a "turn" at you. What is it that you are considering reporting her

  6. $1x40x4x12=$1,920

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all are forgetting to compound the initial increase in pay. Any pay increases you get each year will be compounded on an ever increasing base! It's not just $1.00x40x52 for y number of years = how...

  7. Need Help Wife is about to give up

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to SimonJester's topic in General Students

    If she is half as good an advocate and supporter of her patients as you have been to her during her school experience, she will be a very good nurse indeed. Congratulations to the both of you for...

  8. 100 Best Twitter Feeds for Nurse

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Spirit of Humor's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I just don't get twitter. I really don't want to be in someone else's head for their every thought or boring (at least to me) stream of consciousness. Like I said, I just don't get

  9. Health careers besides nursings

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to B_OTT's topic in General Nursing

    I found this link yesterday for a friend who is thinking of going into healthcare. http://www.explorehealthcareers.org/en/Career.35.aspx It seems to be fairly extensive, well written and informative....

  10. Of Kittens and Computers

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have always taken in animals, many of them sick and/or injured, and held onto them until I can find them a good home. I do believe that how we treat our animals is a reflection on our own humanity,...

  12. Don't want go get to ahead of myself, but

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to CaliLvr000's topic in Operating Room

    Really, anything that distinguishes you from the pack or gets your face in front of decision-makers in the department is worth considering doing. Treat your volunteer work like it is one long job...

  13. New grad RN with assoc degree surgical tech

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to odria's topic in Operating Room

    For me, the fact that I was a CST was a major influence in me being hired as a new grad nurse. They loved the fact that I was familiar with the environment, knew the procedures, and would be a...

    DC/MD/VA traffic can make a 10 mile journey a very long trip

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to CaliLvr000's topic in Operating Room

    I will tell you what I tell all students who want "in" to the OR. Join the AORN as a student. Its about $20.00 and it will be the best $20 you will spend! They have local chapters, and you should...

  16. University of Phoenix-math question-PLEASE ADVISE!

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    I didn't count them all, but as you can see from the link, the UOP have campus locations in all/most states. They are fully accredited, albeit expensive!

  17. BSN RN & Certifications not allowed on my badge: I am outraged!

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Simba2241's topic in General Nursing

    As one BSN to another, I don't think anyone will notice your badge. They won't be able to see beyond the chip you appear to have on your shoulder. Perhaps you should consider tempering your attitude...

  18. Confused and upset

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to bitbuc's topic in Operating Room

    I would not put this on my resume, and would put it behind me. Even if this person says they are going to give you a good reference, honestly, how good do you think it will sound when you put 4-days...

  19. why cant we all get along- or agree to disagree?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to VM85's topic in General Students

  21. Does this make sense to you?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    I agree with above. This is really taking advantage. It's sad, but I think they will only do something to change this system when someone dies because the in-house team was putting in implants, and...

  22. Help, DH in ER!

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to MelissaPhoographerRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's so frustrating when you KNOW either yourself or a loved one is really sick, but they you get the "we can't find anything wrong with you from the ED". Soooo frustrating. Hang in there, and...

  25. University of Maryland Traditional BSN Fall Program: Any idea when we will hear back?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The Shady Grove campus is much more intimate than the B'more campus. The group is considerably smaller (approx. 50 people) and you will know everyone by first name in a couple of weeks. The same...
