  1. Most creative ideas you've had as a SN?

    tara07733 replied to nurselife13's topic in School

    Nurselife13, how do you get the photographs, you take them with your phone? And how do you print them? I love this

  2. Does anyone else get emotionally exhausted from this job?

    tara07733 replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I was JUST --like 5 minutes ago-- saying to my husband how I walk out of my school so tired every day. I chalked it up to a few things: working 5 days a week after working just 3 days per week, bring...

  3. New Grads

    tara07733 replied to jsonger's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't know what I wanted to specialize in during school and I still have no idea. BUT I do know that I've never had a desire to be in any of the sought after specialties (L&D, ICU, NICU) and...

  4. Thinking of psych nursing?

    tara07733 replied to Elizabeth1414's topic in Psychiatric

    It's good to see someone who has gone into a specialty like psych straight out of school. Right now I have a preliminary offer (pending background checks and all that) at a detox facility but keep...

  5. New Grad Orientation Contracts

    tara07733 replied to Kaiyas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  6. New Grad Anxiety

    tara07733 replied to dergs's topic in General Nursing

    One day during my nursing student preceptorship I forgot to alcohol swab my patient before giving the patient a dose of insulin. When we left the room my preceptor gently let me know that I had...

  7. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    tara07733 replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! For a minute there I thought I was crazy and missed some key parts of the post but it seems like some people were ready to get the sword out so they totally just did not get

  8. Opinions would be wonderful!

    tara07733 replied to Ambetterlate's topic in General Students

    With only 2-3 semesters left there's no question that I would go back and finish. It won't be easy with all of your other obligations but it will definitely be worth it. Good

  9. Two week notice 2 personal days not taken

    tara07733 replied to La'sBlueSky's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As much as their policy stinks, I would not call out or anything similar those 2 days. It isn't worth it. You'll be out of there soon

  10. Last Clinical Rotation :)

    tara07733 replied to emmjayy's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I am set to graduate in 2 weeks too and am so

  11. Crap! Am I a crusty old bat nurse?? Carrying pens...

    tara07733 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student and I always have a pen. Because regardless of the fact that many setting have computerized charting/etc, doesn't anyone take notes about what they're being taught or tasks they need to...

  12. Nursing school 1st semester BOOKS

    tara07733 replied to kiknox's topic in General Students

    I agree. Before 1st semester started we got a list of books that we would be using and most have been used at different times throughout the course-- sometimes we used one more than the other but...

  13. Switching from Nursing to Respiratory Therapy

    tara07733 replied to MykRTstudent's topic in General Students

    I am in my final semester of nursing school and last semester, in particular, I got to experience how RTs fit into the team of healthcare professionals who take care of patients. I was in the ICU a...

  14. New nurses without clear career goals

    tara07733 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that new nurses who have no preference as far as where they want to work have an easier time with, well, being a new nurse? Basically, if you take away the expectations of a dream job...

  15. New nurses without clear career goals

    tara07733 replied to tara07733's topic in General Nursing

    Dave Do, you're giving way too much credit but I'll take it

  16. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    tara07733 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly this. In this case it was not OP's fault that the coworker did not hear OP address her EXACTLY as she (the coworker) demands to be address. She flipped out over something that was not even...

  17. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    tara07733 replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

  18. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    tara07733 replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Really?!!?

  19. Nursing School Needs Repair (And Why I Quit)

    tara07733 replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This right here. Every word of it. My husband is also an engineer and I could see him having the same concerns as the OP. It seems to me that certain types of people require more 'rigidity', so to...

  20. My husband wakes me up!

    tara07733 replied to BabyRN_nights's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! I was thinking more along the lines of an attic. That way you don't hear footsteps above you the whole time you're trying to

  21. Colonoscopy Without Sedation

    tara07733 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in Gastroenterology

    A couple years ago when my husband was scheduling his first colonoscopy he looked up info on having the procedure done without sedation since he has a fear of being put out. Apparently it's done a lot...

  22. Jobs that nursing pre reqs qualify you for?

    tara07733 replied to callicarpa's topic in General Nursing

    The good thing about my school is that completing either a CNA, patient care tech, or home health aide course is a required part of the curriculum, so we could get a direct care job (after becoming...

  23. 3 Day Phlebotomy Courses - Are they legit?

    tara07733 replied to Fullmetaljacket96's topic in General Students

    Yes, that sounds like some sort of continuing education course or refresher for those who have some experience. The phlebotomy training course that my community college offers is 170 hours (lecture...

  24. I need to interview a couple of RNs.

    tara07733 replied to tommy2122's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Gotcha. Hmm, if no one volunteers here could you possibly interview a nursing instructor at your school, provided you are a college student? If your physician uses RNs in the office, maybe try that or...

  25. I need to interview a couple of RNs.

    tara07733 replied to tommy2122's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you have a clinical component to your program where you could interview a nurse that you're acquainted with and in person? I mention that because you are going to meet resistance about virtually...
