  1. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    PinkFuzz replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    Before I became a nurse, one of my first experiences in a hospital I saw a nurse get on the phone to a doctor, the conversation was something of the following: Nurse: "Yeah, I'm calling about John...

  2. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    PinkFuzz replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    HANDWRITING!!! ...Not to say that I like personality disorders (rude, belittling, etc.). But I can't stand handwriting that's not even ledgible to the person who wrote it. Nothing worse than seeing...

  3. I feel so guilty about Graduating!

    PinkFuzz posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is terrible. Just terrible. Yesterday was the last day of clinicals - right before graduation, and I made a horrid, horrid mistake. I went in to give an IVP with the instructor. I had given this...

  4. Most Patients during a shift?

    PinkFuzz posted a topic in General Nursing

    What's the most patients you've had during a shift? What sort of unit and shift? I just finished school and would like to work on a med/surg unit, the only think that scares me at times is the idea...

  5. Frustrated and need some encouragement/advice.

    PinkFuzz replied to humglum's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with this. I think taking sometime to really evaluate what you expect and what areas would give you the most fullfillment is a good idea. I don't know if there are career places that...

  6. I Need A Job!!!

    PinkFuzz replied to scrubs2716's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain, I need a job too. The next time someone tells me how much I'm in demand, I might pop 'em

  7. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    PinkFuzz replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I get sick of hearing about lazy, beligerant aides at our hospital. It totally baffles me because our hospital literally has hundreds of applicants who want to work as an aide (namely because they...

  8. Cliques in nursing field

    PinkFuzz replied to lizzyberry's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You'll find cliques in all places. I personally hate the whole Idea and find those people are just immature because they somehow feel that isolating others makes them better. I just try to be the...

  9. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    PinkFuzz replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about marrying doctors, but getting into relationships with people you work closely with seems like it would end with more grief than it was worth. I say if you wanna date someone you...

  10. Calling Docs by their first name...

    PinkFuzz replied to zamboni's topic in General Nursing

    On our unit we mostly just call them Dr. with their first name...i.e. 'Dr. John' or 'Dr. Jane'...there's only a few we call by their last name and we call the NP's by first

  11. I feel so guilty about Graduating!

    PinkFuzz replied to PinkFuzz's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks you all!! After thinking about some of the dumb things my classmates have done, been put on probation for, then recovered and are now graduating with me...makes me realize I'm not alone. I...

  12. Officially a Graduate Nurse

    PinkFuzz replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!!! I just finished too! It hasn't totally hit me. I thinking graduation or pinning might do it.... ...and if it doesn't, then I'm certain the "burning of the uniforms"

  13. Single Mom Trying To Become A Nurse

    PinkFuzz replied to nursingisforme's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what school you go too. But basically you start with doing all the FAFSA junk and getting what you can from there...and if your community college is like mine, there's a mess of...

  14. I'm graduating

    PinkFuzz replied to GeorgiaPeach2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yup! Same here!! Graduation's on Sunday!

  15. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    PinkFuzz replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    I just can't see how the risks of doing that out-weigh the benefits. Its just not worth it to be decitful like that. I know as an Nurse Tech/Aid, I can do EKGs and some labs (sputum, urine) but...

  16. I feel so guilty about Graduating!

    PinkFuzz replied to PinkFuzz's topic in General Nursing

    Aww thanks! I feel better now. I guess I just needed some feedback on the situation, seeing how I hadn't told anyone what happened (too embarrassed). But I know I definitely won't be making that...
