  1. Want to bash the job listings SOOO bad.

    canigraduate replied to canigraduate's topic in Nursing Career

    Indeed.com

  2. Should I do more??

    canigraduate replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely report them to the Labor Board and I would also consult a labor attorney. You can sue them for breaking the law, if you want to stand up to this type of thing. In the meantime, very calmly...

  3. What does an order of "Q2D" mean to you?

    canigraduate replied to Manofstone's topic in General Nursing

    Bwahaha! Your admin peeps must be smarter than some of

  4. Unusual treatments

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    That facility used them post partum mostly for formula moms, but they used them raw, straight from the refrigerator. The cold helped reduce some of the heat and swelling and something in the cabbage...

  5. What does an order of "Q2D" mean to you?

    canigraduate replied to Manofstone's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world? Why didn't the doc just order it every other day or Q48h or something clear? A day is 24 hours, so technically Q2D is Q48h, but why would you even use that? Docs know that people...

  6. Unusual treatments

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    That was actually standard practice at one of the hospitals I worked at (in the U.S., in

  7. Unusual treatments

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Cattail or cat's tail? My cat is an A-hole and I get cat's tail in my eye all the time. Hmm, I have never had a stye,

  8. How can I increase the morale on my unit?

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

    On the units I've worked with bad morale, it's usually a communication problem. Management doesn't talk to administration, administration doesn't talk to management, and no one listens to the floor...

  9. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    canigraduate replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Eugenics in North Carolina North Carolina did not single out poor black women to sterilize. At the time, pre-World War II through the early fifties, many states had eugenics programs where selective...

  10. Want to bash the job listings SOOO bad.

    canigraduate replied to canigraduate's topic in Nursing Career

    True. I need to go in and leave some reviews on there. I just wish we could comment on the ones posted here. They're RIGHT THERE. In my face. Laughing at me. "Haha! You may have gotten out, but we're...

  11. Reasons patients turn on their call light

    canigraduate replied to diamondp17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a certain kind of IV pump that sounds like a mewling kitten in the middle of the night. In my first hospital job as a CNA I worked on a geriatric unit that had those pumps. All the confused...

  12. Per Diem

    canigraduate replied to Gordonj1986's topic in Agency Nurses

    It is not a good idea to go with an agency straight out of school. I know a girl from Hawaii who did that to get a job here on the mainland and they send her some crazy places. She has been to LTC, to...

  13. My Resume Needs More Substance

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

    When you were a psych RN, did you receive any kind of work recognition? Patient appreciation notes? Documentation awards? Highlight the skills that your employer is looking for. Go on their website...

  14. Do I need a professional resume writer?

    canigraduate replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I've always done my own, but I know people who have used services. They have mixed reactions. If you want to go with a professional, I would suggest to make sure they have experience in healthcare...

  15. Clinical sites, you choose or you're assigned?

    canigraduate replied to level1's topic in General Students

    Huh. I didn't even realize choice was an option. That's kinda cool for you. Well, until they took it away. In my clinicals, we were placed in the facility the instructors worked in, on their unit of...

  16. Reasons patients turn on their call light

    canigraduate replied to diamondp17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL!! This used to happen to me all the time, although for a different reason. The patient wasn't answering the phone on purpose, because she was annoyed with the annoying family member. After the...

  17. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    canigraduate replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Y'all got to quit using POC. Piece of crap. I respect people too much to let you keep using

  18. Does the bad pop up for Pearson Vue mean you fail?

    canigraduate replied to Smiller0332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lol! True. I guess I'm saying my anecdotes are more valid than yours, which is dumb. Anyway, the PVT doesn't work reliably, even if you do it right and wait the 24 hours, based on the self report of...

  19. Freelance writing.

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

    I think you're right to leave it off your resume, but there may be a place to highlight your articles if you are applying for positions online. Some of the websites I've applied to have a place for...

  20. How to deal with rude coworkers

    canigraduate replied to nicenurse819's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the next time: 1) You pretty much rewarded her for bad behavior by sucking up to her when she was mean. Don't do that. Don't suck up to people, period. You can be nice and attentive, but sucking...

  21. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    canigraduate replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can understand that you were upset. Personally, I often post crazy **** when I'm mad. Sometimes, when the issue is one that can be so emotional and personal, I find it best to take a few deep...

  22. I'm a patient. Sorry to intrude.

    canigraduate replied to francisarsenic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just going to borrow this and print it on business cards, then start handing them

  23. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    canigraduate replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, I believe this is an unnecessarily inflammatory post. I vote we

  24. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    canigraduate replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! When I first read the title, I didn't get that it was about ethnic race. I was thinking RACE - Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish. Night shift

  25. Does the bad pop up for Pearson Vue mean you fail?

    canigraduate replied to Smiller0332's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have three words for you, my friend. Evidence based practice. This means that you don't take peoples' anecdotes as fact. You actually find out the fact. For every 100 people the PVT works for, there...
