  3. Silly question about white scrub pants

    wee_oneRN replied to rainbowbrite85's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Have you spoken to your school dean about this? I suspect you are not the only one worried about the white pants. Many, many nursing schools avoid white pants so there is really no need to torture the...

  4. Do you give meds without seeing the MDs order if he MAR has been checked?

    wee_oneRN replied to canadianRNeducator's topic in Patient Medications

    I work in NICU so we are very careful with our meds, but we don't check the MD order each time we give a med. Our charts are thinned frequently, so we don't always have the original order on hand to...

    wee_oneRN replied to SJSU_Mami's topic in California Nursing

    From my exp, Kaiser does not have a formal new grad program (or new grad hiring) in place right now. They have not for over a year. At their career fairs they turn away anyone with less than 1 year...

  8. Combined Level II & III NICU or Level III only???

    wee_oneRN replied to Shanlee79's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    In my opinion you should go to a level III for practicum. You will have greater experiences that will not be available in the level II, but they most certainly will not push you past your abilities....

  14. Advice?

    wee_oneRN replied to greenfaery's topic in Emergency

    Isn't Paramedic school 2 years? And EMT's really do not make very much money. Going back for your BSN/MSN is a good idea while you job hunt. Don't be too quick to judge LTC's. Many have sub-acute care...
