  1. Topic for evidence-based research paper?

    Two Sheds posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have a quick question for y'all: I'm about to write my evidence-based research paper for Med Surg class, and I'm stuck on a topic about which to write. Writing, in itself, is no problem for me: I...

  2. Awesome new development at our corrections facility

    Two Sheds posted a topic in Correctional

    Partially due to the Florida case where the prison nurses won lawsuits over the COs turning their heads to the inmates jerking off, our facility implemented some changes in the past week or so. If...

  3. Correctional Nursing Pros/Con and Environment

    Two Sheds replied to nick7331's topic in Correctional

    You must understand that some RNs, myself included, actually WANTED to go into corrections as a first choice. I figured out during my last semester of nursing school that I would rather tear up my...

  4. Bad Boys, Bad Boys... How do you handle them?

    Two Sheds replied to valzRN's topic in Correctional

    I "loud them out," in other words I embarass the hell out of them. MANY an I/M has been the unfortunate recipient of my shaming wisecracks, and they do not do it anymore. Some do, but for the most...

  5. Seizures Real vs Fake

    Two Sheds replied to princess pickles's topic in Correctional

    We have SO many fake seizures it's ridiculous! There are 2 inmates who always manage to have "seizures" within 10 minutes of one another, even though they are in different units. We still have not...

  6. How to handle a passive-aggressive coworker?

    Two Sheds posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here is the gist of my situation: I am an RN working night shift at a prison infirmary. We rotate positions every few months so that none of the nurses get burned-out doing the same job over and...

    I'm an RN, working at a prison medical facility with the Correctional Medicine Division and I love

  8. does prison hire new grad RN

    Two Sheds replied to bluesky197868's topic in Correctional

    It sounds like you have a very positive attitude and love what you're doing! It's not everyone's cup of tea, but, as you said, I could never again work in a "regular" hospital

  9. does prison hire new grad RN

    Two Sheds replied to bluesky197868's topic in Correctional

    How are enjoying it so far? I hated working in a "regular" hospital during school clinicals so I'm really looking forward to something unconventional like this. The other hospitals can take their...

  10. Scrubs for Prison

    Two Sheds replied to evelynkarirn's topic in Correctional

    We are provided with 5 sets of scrubs per year free of charge. They are the "Grey's Anatomy" brand in royal blue with our logo embroidered on the upper left side of the scrub top. Pretty

  11. Application process taking forever!

    Two Sheds replied to dennysbfly's topic in Correctional

    I heard about some RN openings at the prison from my classmate (we graduated together this past June). I called them up last week and they asked me to come in the next day for an interview, where I...

    Two Sheds replied to bluesky197868's topic in Correctional

    They do here in S.C. I just graduated and passed my NCLEX-RN this past June and I heard about some RN openings at the local prison. I called for an interview and was hired on the spot! They even...

  13. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    Two Sheds replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    It would be bad enough for the nurse to have her nail burst through the glove during a DRE, but how do you think the patient would feel, LOL? *slice*

  14. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Two Sheds replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am to take my NCLEX-RN this Saturday at 2pm, and I'm wondering if the "trick" would work on a non-workday. If it would work on Saturday, how long should I wait after coming home to give it a try?...

  15. Things that aggravate the heck out of me!

    Two Sheds posted a topic in General Students

    Here are a couple of my greatest pet peeves: 1. Firsly, it's "HIPAA" NOT "HIPPA." Learn the dadgum acronym!!! 2. Instructors who have MSN degrees and STILL spell things wrong on the Power Point slide...

  16. Advancing Education with a Learning Disability?

    Two Sheds replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism) and I'm in my last year of nursing school (7 more months, yay!). I have been upfront with the admins about my condition and I have testing...

  17. Things that aggravate the heck out of me!

    Two Sheds replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    Haha, I got "owned" on a message board by spelling "firstly" incorrectly, LOL! :-) Darn it, that's what happens when one (or more!) of my 3 kitties tries to vie for my attention by walking around the...

  18. Is there any shy and quiet people like me?

    Two Sheds replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    You're not the only one who hates labs! I used to hate labs because I was always stuck with idiots for lab partners, and I could've gotten the work done twice as quickly--and twice as well--working...

  19. Is there any shy and quiet people like me?

    Two Sheds replied to EduardoLugo's topic in General Students

    I am in my last year of nursing school (graduate in 7 months!) and I have Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism). My grades are good, but my social skills are something that, especially as a...

  20. morning sickness but not pregnant

    Two Sheds replied to ICU_RN_BSN's topic in General Students

    Doesn't increased estrogen levels cause n/v? If you're on birth-control pills and take them at night before you go to bed, that might be the reason. Try switching to taking them mid-day or in the...

  21. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    Two Sheds replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    We had this totally ghetto girl in the mandatory seminar we went to the semester before we began nursing school, and when she heard that fake nails were not allowed, she said "*** that!" and walked...

  22. Are there any other nursing students here with Asperger's Syndrome?

    Two Sheds posted a topic in General Students

    I have Asperger's Syndrome, but have not told any of my instructors or classmates because I am afraid that having such a "disability" would jeopardize my position as a nursing student (I don't look...

  23. Is there anyone who thinks school is not that bad?

  25. Color Coded IV Needle Gauges

    Two Sheds replied to donein2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, you can fit the orange 16g into the mnemonic because underneath the gray dirt is "orange" magma in the earth's mantle! I guess just go from the core of the earth all the way up to the sun,
