  1. What was your scariest threat from a patient or family member

    Coffee Nurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Holy &£@*. Was the other nurse okay? (Physically at least.) Please tell me you both quit that place as soon as possible. I can't imagine a facility being so utterly uncaring of what might...

  2. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Coffee Nurse replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Macawake, you officially understand the First Amendment better than probably like 70% of American

  3. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Coffee Nurse replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Also the Supreme Court. The entire government is controlled by Republicans, but sure, conservative views are frowned

  4. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Coffee Nurse replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Care to substantiate that

  5. What was your scariest threat from a patient or family member

    Coffee Nurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Not me fortunately, but one of my coworkers recently looked after a baby whose mother told her that if the baby died in her care, my coworker would be impregnated and the mother would take the...

  6. Job Hunt

    Coffee Nurse replied to JaeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Focus for now on acing your clinicals so you can later mine your instructors for great references. Picking up an internship at the appropriate time helps as well. And once you graduate, be wide open...

  7. DNR/DNI: What Age Would You Choose to No Longer Be Full Code?

    Coffee Nurse replied to LollaPaupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with PPs that quality of life is much more important than age, although I'm surprised that so many are choosing 70 as a cutoff. IIRC that's not even considered "extreme old" or whatever anymore....

  8. NICU New Grad Residency/Fellowship Programs?

    Coffee Nurse replied to outsidegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is going to require some Google elbow grease on your part, OP. A good new grad residency will have an online presence, you just need to identify your target location and then get started...

  9. 20 applications no response...help

    Coffee Nurse replied to GnikKing3's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you don't want to be identifiable here, you need to take a LOT more detail out of

  10. Did Any Of You Nurses Finish With a Dual Major?

    Coffee Nurse replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    I was majoring in classics and then linguistics before I switched to nursing, and by the time I made the switch I had taken so many courses (and had to do a fifth year to cover the nursing curriculum)...

  11. Nurse interview for band 7

    Coffee Nurse replied to Sky4's topic in United Kingdom

    By coming here and essentially asking for people to create your presentation for you (without offering any of your own thoughts or ideas), you're really completely missing the point of it. Band sevens...

  12. CRNA or ICU Nurse in Europe

    Coffee Nurse replied to jg0510's topic in General World

    Do you speak all these languages? That's the first thing that'll winnow down your options. Responding from a NICU in the UK: 1. Scheduling here is largely the same as my unit back in the US: 12 hour...

  13. Ultrasound student wondering if I should've done nursing

    Coffee Nurse replied to bluestar776's topic in General Nursing

    Okay? What are you looking for from us

  14. Anatomy and physiology notes

    Coffee Nurse replied to shak95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Guarantee that if you pass nursing school and the boards, you'll be back here posting in three years about NETY and bullying. Ugh. Adjust your attitude, take some responsibility for yourself and your...

  15. NICU nurses often misunderstood

    Coffee Nurse replied to margui.yap's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This, absolutely. It's all about the education and explaining your actions so that the parents can understand why you've done what you've done. Pulling rank on them by whipping out your years of...

  16. Which is it? Coolest and most glamorous nursing jobs

    Coffee Nurse replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect OP was hoping to start a catfight with everyone duking it out for the title of "coolest." Unfortunately he went a bit too far with "most glamorous" and tipped over into

  17. I graduated with a BSN 10 years ago, I've only now decided to become a Nurse.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Discreet007's topic in General Nursing

    Or they're desperate to fill the position and will take any warm body. No offense intended to OP, but I'd be leery of this whole

  18. UK Tier 2 visas for nurses

    Coffee Nurse replied to nursemajee's topic in Immigration Advice

    You apply for a new visa, it wouldn't be an extension because it's not the same employment

  19. Nursing or USC?

    Coffee Nurse replied to petersalazar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should think of it as debt, because it is. It's only an investment in your life if your life is eventually bettered by it. If you go to USC because of its "emotional appeal" to you and end up...

  20. Job apps -- how long until response?

    Coffee Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've got a few job applications in to various big city hospitals for positions that I'm well qualified for. In your experience, what's a reasonable amount of time to wait before I can expect to hear...

  21. Job apps -- how long until response?

    Coffee Nurse replied to Coffee Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hm, interesting. All of the openings I've applied to seem open-ended, none of them have posted closing

  22. Doulble lumen UAC v/s double lumen UVC

    Coffee Nurse replied to aimeern31's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    And surely you'd have to infuse something TKO via both lumens, eating into your fluid allowance (especially for

  23. The term "project" for a job offer

    Coffee Nurse replied to limitless-visions's topic in General Nursing

    Holy wow. Use punctuation. You don't know what you interviewed for? Surely the job description should have given you more of a clue than whether the manager called it a "project" or

  24. Are We Still Holding Back Baby's Head?

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Except as the OB people in this thread have said, it's not a practice. I'm still waiting to see a credible source for this

  25. Experienced RN resume review

    Coffee Nurse posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yikes! Applying to my first new job in five years and would really appreciate some resume feedback. There's so much conflicting advice out there about what to include/not include, how to format,...
