    Pitiful statistic

    klone replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sure. But not 40% of them. And a woman can ASK all she wants, but without any indication, it would be malpractice to perform it, simply because that's what she is

    Abortion interview questions

    klone replied to das729's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm sure they will ask you if you're pro-choice/pro-abortion. That's kind of a no-brainer. They will probably ask why you want THAT job. It takes a unique skillset, mentality and personality to...

    Unprofessional charting

    klone replied to Nurse131382's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, it should be addressed. I agree with Katie that the first thing to be addressed is whether a PCT should be doing any narrative charting in the first place. It would seem that that could address...

    My goodness, people are salty today. She said "so" twice? OP, I get where you're coming from. I'm 6 weeks into a new position, and I knew going into the position that there are a lot of changes that...

    Have you ever felt?....

    klone replied to JosMar93's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think being willing to do it for free makes the OP a better human than the rest of us who see being a nurse as a job, for which one should be compensated. I'm a damn good nurse and I'd leave...

    Lied to in Interview

    klone replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    That's one of the questions I ALWAYS ask in an interview! It's very telling when they say, for example, that the previous two people in that position left the company after a few months each, vs. the...

    "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    klone replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Like others, I agree that it's a gross generalization. There are A students who are awesome on the floor, and poor on the floor. Same with B and C students. I think the best indicator of how well a...
