  1. Nurses need water

    DoeRN replied to Heidimc's topic in General Nursing

  2. I NEED YOUR HELP..

    DoeRN replied to Mchs4735's topic in Nursing Career

    You have plenty of time to get an education. Fifty thousand a year for nursing school? That's more than the medical in my area. Wait and go to the state school. And depending on what area you live in...

  3. Have dress codes changed for clinical prep?

    DoeRN posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was at work yesterday and the floor I was on had students there preparing for clinicals today. I was floored!! Two of the students had on leggings and super high platform heels. One had on a low...

  4. Has Nursing Made You a Homebody?

    DoeRN replied to nicurn84's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As I sit at home on the sofa watching Die Hard I can relate to this. I've always been an introvert but would still go out and do things. Like go to the bookstore buy a coffee and read. Go to the...

  5. Nursing and Jewelry

    DoeRN replied to kitten2013's topic in General Students

    Trust me you don't want to wear anything a patient can grab hold of. Especially something around your neck that they can choke you with. Sent from my iPhone using

  6. So who do nurses marry or have as civil partners???

    DoeRN replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I like this thread. My SO is a football player with a degree in biology. He was going to become a doctor but well football was more lucrative. We met at a sushi restaurant of all places Sent from my...

  7. Unrecognizable without scrubs...

    DoeRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    This happens all the time. I have a certain pair of glasses I only wear to work. My hair is usually pulled back and I don't wear any makeup. On my off days I'm usually dressed up. I wear dresses,...

  8. A question about Hep C, and my insurance benefits

    DoeRN replied to zymyn's topic in General Nursing

    We can not offer medical advice. The best thing to do is call your insurance provider. Sorry this is happening to you and your husband. Also, if you both were Hep C negative when you started with the...

  9. Am I making a bad decision or should I stick to the course?

    DoeRN replied to ryanslocklear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on where you live. It will take you a lot longer to become a doctor but if you do well in medical school finding a job won't be an issue. There is a risk of not finding a job after...

  10. Ever work with a broken finger?

    DoeRN replied to SnowboardRN's topic in General Nursing

    Stay at home think of all the germs you are exposing yourself too. Plus it will take longer for your finger to heal. If you have to work does your job have any light duty that's not direct patient...

  11. What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    DoeRN replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Neisha, there are so many other options besides healthcare. It's obvious you are very afraid to deal with body secretions and dead bodies. You don't have to if you don't want too. Nursing isn't the...

  12. Irritating things about being a nurse VENT

    DoeRN replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just love when a patient is admitted with anemia and blood was ordered hours ago in the ER but wasn't ready the whole entire time. Now suddenly when the patient is being wheeled up the blood is...

  13. Husband and wife working together

    DoeRN replied to JinnyLynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is actually quite common for companies to not allow this and not just in the hospital setting. I think it falls under nepotism. Sent from my iPhone using

  14. GRADUATED!!! Do I call myself RN yet?

    DoeRN replied to Nurse-84's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You can call yourself RN after you pass NCLEX. Until then you are considered a new grad or GN. Sent from my iPhone using

  15. Has anyone ever been careless and gotten stuck?

    DoeRN replied to NCmcMan's topic in General Nursing

    I was stuck with an insulin needle that I capped after pulling up the insulin. (Yes I recapped the correct way but needle bent) The needle actually went through the cap and was poking out. I didn't...

  16. Scrub tops that don't show cleavage

    DoeRN replied to Ele123's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I always wear a t-shirt under my tops. Not a tank too but t-shirt that is fitted. I have a large chest and tank tops still show cleavage when I wear them. Sent from my iPhone using

  17. Need help with job offers!

    DoeRN replied to boushie87's topic in Nursing Career

    Hands down the oral surgery office. A lot of LTC facilities call nurses "managers" but it's really a staff nurse position. Sent from my iPhone using

  18. It really annoys me when nurses say they are going to go to med school...

    DoeRN replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    I thinks it's wonderful to see someone further their education. The sad part is many nurses I've encountered usually don't tell people they are back in school because of all the backlash. I've...

  19. I ignored my instincts...

    DoeRN replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in General Nursing

    If you weren't invited then how in the heck did you know all the details to attend? I would have told her to go blankety blank. What a loser. Another reason why I hardly ever socialize with people...

  20. What is the grading in you school

    DoeRN replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    My program was the same way. Anything under a 78 was failing. Sent from my iPhone using

  21. Do you tell people where you work?

    DoeRN replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    I hardly ever tell people I'm a nurse. And if they see me in scrubs and they ask I will say I'm a waitress. It's true you know. But if they catch my sarcasm I just say I work at a local hospital and...

  22. "I'm not floating."

    DoeRN replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    I currently work in the float pool and will remain in the float pool until I finish school. But I remember the first time I got floated as a nurse. I was so scared! I had a horrible shift and my...

  23. Losing respect for nursing students

    DoeRN replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    It's so funny to come across this thread. I was thinking the same thing. We have a lot of students at the hospital I work at. And one day every single one of them was in the room next to the nursing...

  24. I haven't had a bath in a week

    DoeRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    I can see how that could happen especially if nurses have primary patients. Is it right no, but the patient also could have asked for some water and soap and bathed himself too. Not saying it was the...

  25. Can an introvert survive as a nurse?

    DoeRN replied to ellie193's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll be fine. I'm introverted to the point that I float just so I don't have to really interact with staff unless necessary. I usually talk to people about work related things. And that's only if...
