3. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

   2BSure replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

   Not necessarily. Our tech college just changed theirs and I have a friend working there. Apparently it was like the "great debate". One of our private college uses all white and I think it looks...

4. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

   2BSure replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

   At least your school reminds you to press your scrubs. I think some students forget to look in the mirror before they walk out the door to clinical. No polishing shoes...that is so cute and old...

5. hostile staff member

   2BSure replied to blondeoverboard's topic in General Nursing

   It seems to me that you have two options: 1) Stay and feel the need to CYA on a daily basis about everything -- this is NO way to live 2) Seek employment elsewhere Ages ago I worked in a place where I...

6. who gets medical records for dead/retired doctors offices?

   2BSure replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

   I had this exact problem. Apparently the immunization records should be "with the State". They were not and as I didn't live in that state anymore (NY) I wasn't likely to get far with my inquiries....

9. Im new on this board I have a question about TB testing

   2BSure replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

   One would think so. See my other post. I don't have any statistics to hand so someone here might blast me.... I understand that if you get TB they usually recommend an HIV test. Hopefully your...

10. Im new on this board I have a question about TB testing

    2BSure replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry so much! Go get the 2 step test (usually your city or county public health dept. does this for a nominal fee (mine is $15). If you get a reaction it can only mean you have been exposed,...

11. Who is GENERALLY more of a "PAIN"?: Co-workers OR Patients?

    2BSure replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Work colleagues but only a couple of them (they are very consistent though). At least the patients are sick/injured/in pain -- people not at their best don't behave their best. Now if the question...

12. Volunteering and Nursing School

    2BSure replied to mochabean's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals, like mine, only require a 2 hour a week commitment. Normally I would encourage everyone in NS to volunteer in a hospital (or similar) but as you already work in one why don't you try...

    2BSure replied to michelew/oneL's topic in General Nursing

    You have had some good remarks. If there was no count when you came in then there was no count when someone before you went off. That would make 2 shifts responsible. I am sure you feel sick as a...

15. Schedule Issues

    2BSure replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry. This sort of thing is really unacceptable. Maybe next time you need to take a picture with your phone camera (that would be a funny remark if it did not seem necessary). What is...
