    Have only read the OP. I think most of it is that people jump in to a message board without understanding the unspoken culture of the board. They unknowingly and unintentionally offend with their...

    Pro tip: you can do the interview in your undies, or even buck naked, as long as you have a professional-looking top on. It's

    Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly the angst I experience on a daily basis. I don't want to OFFEND anyone! So I'm either faced with not liking anyone, or liking everyone out of fear that I might hurt someone's feelings....

    My Body Is Not My Resume: Exploring Nursing Dress Codes

    klone replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    In my area of nursing (OB) it seems like a lot of the younger moms can better relate to the nurse if she has tats. I would say a good 25% of the nurses in my unit have full sleeves. I couldn't care...

    How can I get more OB experience as a student/new grad?

    klone replied to thoughtful21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Any nursing job you take will offer that. You are a new grad - you will not be expected to work independently for at least several weeks. At our facility, new grads get 12 weeks of orientation to...

    How can I get more OB experience as a student/new grad?
