    Charting of infant's voids and BMs

    PinkNBlue replied to mmmorgan58's topic in Ob/Gyn

    nursing policy on handling infant that is not bathed

    PinkNBlue replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NCLEX

    PinkNBlue replied to strawberryfields's topic in Illinois Nursing

    PinkNBlue replied to strawberryfields's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I worked as a tech before and all throughout school so that definitely helped me. Apply for a position regardless of whether it says 'experience required'. That deters new grads sometimes but there...

    Gift for Nurse Preceptor from Student Nurse

    PinkNBlue replied to Krither's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was in your position a few months ago and felt my preceptor went above and beyond. I wrote her a nice card telling her how much I appreciated her and then gave her a gift card to her favorite...

    Oh yes, I didn't ever hear it as CTS (just called it Continental) so it confused me :) There are so many steps it's ridiculous. Hoping you get your letter

    PinkNBlue replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    New grad renewing license?

    PinkNBlue replied to PinkNBlue's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I got my license and it does say it needs to be renewed by May 31 2012. Where I'm at, nurses renew on the even years. It's just weird because I will have barely used it before it...

    C=degree

    PinkNBlue replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I haven't heard of any employers doing that. I think they're aware that just because you have a 4.0 GPA doesn't mean you're the best candidate for the job. It's the whole picture.
