  1. Still Uncomfortable

    Clear Morning posted a topic in Critical Care

    Hi everyone. I have been an ICU nurse for a year and a half now. Prior to that I have 2 years med/surg experience. I am questioning whether I should stay in ICU or hang up my hat and find another area...

  2. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    Clear Morning replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My heart goes out to them both. BUT, yes she had a temp of 99.6 when she got on the plane. Not a fever, but this is an elevated temperature. What was her temperature when she got off the plane? Temps...

  3. Still Uncomfortable

    Clear Morning replied to Clear Morning's topic in Critical Care

    Well, it's been a while, but I stuck it out. I have to say I have learned so much and continue to do so. I guess it just took a while to start feeling confident, but I can honestly say I have come a...

  5. Does anybody know anybody that has been pregnant in nursing program?

    Clear Morning replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    It can be done. I have frequently seen women having babies throughout nursing school. My sister had a baby the first week of her 3rd semester (had baby on Friday, back in class on Tuesday). Not...

    Clear Morning posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Does anyone know what new grad pay is in the Nashville area? Specifically for Vandy and Baptist? Someone told me that starting pay for a new grad at Skyline (day shift) is something like $16/hr . I...

  7. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Clear Morning replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I prefer simple looking scrubs in solid colors. Personally, I could give two sh***s what kind of prints or colors others choose to

  8. For all of you Nurses out there...

    Clear Morning replied to aaaa's topic in General Nursing

    That last semester of nursing school is tough but it will be over before you know it. As far as your confidence level goes, once you start working you'll start feeling it about 6 months in to your...

  9. On the call light like a Jeopardy buzzer

    Clear Morning replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem with a patient not long ago. Not only was she on the call light but she yelled and hollered out all night, disturbing all the patients in the hall, even after two doses of...

  10. Nashville State CC- UGH!

    Clear Morning replied to f1ourish's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I am so sorry to hear of all the trouble you've had! I did all my pre-reqs at Vol State and am currently a second year nursing student through their TSU program. I haven't had any trouble here at...

  11. Have you ever worn scrubs off the job?

    Clear Morning replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have noticed a lot of the teachers at my son's daycare (mostly infant classrooms) have begun to wear scrubs. I imagine they get a lot of baby fluids on their

  14. Rn to BSn or straight BSN

    Clear Morning replied to AngelaChanel24's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I feel RN to BSN is the way to go for someone who has a family that depends on their income. I am 30, and married with two kids and this is the route I am taking for reasons you already...

    Clear Morning replied to Clear Morning's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Good point about Vandy. I am leanining more and more toward a career there (at least to start) because their orientation seems to top all others. What a great way to start as an

  16. severe anxiety

    Clear Morning replied to allmytimestudying's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes out to you! I suffered with severe panic attacks that seemed to come out of the blue. It was so distressing and for a while I feared I was losing my mind! Many people suffer from...

  17. LPN's working L&D or postpartum

    Clear Morning replied to 2bnurselove08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was still taking my pre-req's I shadowed with an LPN in L&D. She was also studying to bridge over to RN. It most likely depends on the hospital. Perhaps you could check your local...
