    canigraduate replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    How did you get a picture of my family

  2. Scuffed Danskos

    canigraduate replied to T-Bird78's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Wash them really well with leather cleaner and get a white leather repair kit from a shoe store. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times with the leather cleaner to get them ready for the repair kit. Then...

  3. Heel slipping in nursing clogs

    canigraduate replied to SaraAN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It takes some practice if you aren't used to thick soled shoes. When I first started in healthcare, I had only worn typical shoes with little to no thickness on the sole. I stumbled a lot until I got...

  4. Email Follow up

    canigraduate replied to k1p1ssk's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What jadelpn said. Or, I have used this: "Hello, Recruiter! I am following up on the _________ position. I haven't heard from anyone and would like to know if I am still being considered. Feel free to...

  5. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    canigraduate replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Please elaborate. Different cultural mores? Expecting more people to have body issues? Expecting people to be

  6. Take this job and shove it!

    canigraduate replied to TTK RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been offered an exit interview in those places. They know what's going on. There just isn't a big enough incentive or enough fear of consequences yet for them to deal with

  7. Incivility: Beyond the Nurse

    canigraduate replied to Jkaiservi's topic in Nurses Rock

  8. Notes in 3rd person style

    canigraduate replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Bummer, that was my last

  9. Notes in 3rd person style

    canigraduate replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, I thought the standard of care was doing what another reasonably prudent nurse would do? Many other reasonably prudent nurses chart that way. I'm really trying to find something for you, and...

  10. Notes in 3rd person style

    canigraduate replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Instead of standard, how about convention? Does that have a legal definition,

  11. Notes in 3rd person style

    canigraduate replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Referring to the post and quote above: The simple answer is for the nurse not to say anything that stupid, I think. My reply would have been, "Charting language, much like legal language, is...

  12. Help! Travel nursing or fulfill a contract?!

    canigraduate replied to teresagray's topic in Travel

    There doesn't have to be anything wrong with your relationship to get pre-marital counseling. I was suggesting it to you like I would to any engaged couple. It can give you a lot of tools to keep your...

  13. New Grad...Is this typical?

    canigraduate replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    What are you talking about? It's like you're having a conversation with someone else and you think it's me. I personally spoke to my experience with new grad BSNs. If you want facts and figures, look...

  14. Help! Travel nursing or fulfill a contract?!

    canigraduate replied to teresagray's topic in Travel

    1) Traveling with a husband isn't much different from traveling with a fiancé. 2) There is no guarantee you will have kids, or have them quickly. 3) I wouldn't throw away a job that you are...

  15. New Grad...Is this typical?

    canigraduate replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, for Christ's sake. This thread is NOT saying that they are less competent. Just that the direct BSN students have less skills practice. The OP stated straight out that she felt she didn't get much...

  16. Best New-Grad Job leading to ICU?

    canigraduate replied to m1117's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There were two people hired straight out of my graduating class into the ICU; one went into MICU, the other into SICU. What they did: The MICU guy was the valedictorian, the SICU woman was the...

  17. Resume

    canigraduate replied to EatYourVeggies's topic in Psychiatric

    Eh, I've posted mine before, so I'll be lazy and link to it:

  18. New Grad...Is this typical?

    canigraduate replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    Then I must not have worked with you. The BSNs I have worked with are very knowledgeable, but not practiced. No one said the BSN was inferior, just that the grads tend to be light on skills practice....

  19. How do you handle narcissist patients?

    canigraduate replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eh, I revoke their rent on my headspace. It's easier when you remember their lives suck. Just be objective and pleasant. Think robotic. They vacuum up your emotions and use them to spew back at...

  20. The Wisdom of Lurking

    canigraduate replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter either way to me. I'm ready to encourage the ones that aren't stupid, and ready to slap down the ridiculous ones. Or at least address them bluntly and remind them there is a real...

  21. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    canigraduate replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go

  22. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    canigraduate replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    NO, I WOULD NOT. Sorry, couldn't resist. The title is sooooo screamy. Nah, I couldn't do it. I have a hard time showing my knees and elbows, much less anything else. Makes living in Arizona

  23. Registered so I could say thank you

    canigraduate replied to Tumbler's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  24. New Grad...Is this typical?

    canigraduate replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    For some reason, this shocked me. You are so wise and benevolent, I just figured you'd been there and done it all. Call me if you need an NG dropped or a foley diddled with. I am the tube queen. As...

  25. How do you leave it at work?

    canigraduate replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That was the nice version, tinyonern. I wish you could appreciate just how nice and minimally snarky I was trying to be. C'est la vie. And your utter gall, izzydame... Don't worry, no PMs...
