  1. Mercy Ships

    Zombi RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! I'm looking for any information anyone can give me who has volunteered with Mercy Ships -- either currently or in the past. From the website I am pretty interested but was hoping maybe to...

  2. What constitutes "professional appearance" these days?

    Zombi RN replied to moma8gma1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have never had an elderly patient complain about my tattoos in six years of patient care. In fact, it's most commonly my elderly patients who like them! It is so disheartening to see how extremely...

  3. Differences between Canadian and USA nursing?

    Zombi RN replied to Cinquefoil's topic in General Nursing

  4. I got removed from my clinical practice

    Zombi RN replied to danny411's topic in General Students

    Assessment skills are the cornerstone of nursing practice... I think that it's vital to understand just how important they are. Your other skills need to come second to excellent assessment skills....

  6. how long did you wait to go from LPN to RN?

    Zombi RN replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN to RN

  9. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    Zombi RN replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Actually, no, pagan means non-Christian earth based spirituality... you might be surprised to find that there are many atheist, agnostic, and even monotheistic pagans (: It's an umbrella term -- while...

  10. Washing those scrubs?

    Zombi RN replied to johnny depp23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My land, are you serious? Wash after every wear in hot water! I don't own that many so my scrubs basically get washed weekly. As for when I last bought, I had to buy scrubs specific for school...

  11. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Zombi RN replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It is not necessary to be religious or spiritual to be a nurse, and neither makes anyone a better nurse, either. The teacher is taking

  13. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    Zombi RN replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Atheist pagan in the Bible belt, married to another atheist nurse. I wear a pentacle at work, usually no one says anything. I always refuse to pray with patients, though, and my husband does the same....

  15. Senior nursing student looking to work in Critical Care - advice please!

    Zombi RN replied to meraki86's topic in General Students

    Grades don't matter, what matters is that you pass the NCLEX-RN and get your license. At my facility it's really hard for a new grad to get a specialty job without already having a foot in the door --...

  16. Rose State RN Fall 2012

    Zombi RN replied to Tariejay's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    ^ I honestly can't remember exactly but the number was relatively high? I do know the point system is different for career ladder. If I remember how many I promise I'll come back to tell

  17. Do you have family members who are nurses?

    Zombi RN replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My grandmother who has long since passed was an LPN in a small town ER. My grandfather, her husband, was the town sherriff. They are both long dead and I wish I could have asked them for stories! I...

  18. Rose State RN Fall 2012

    Zombi RN replied to Tariejay's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I got accepted into the traditional days career ladder track -- but the clinical schedule severely conflicts with my work so I accepted but asked to be switched into online or evenings if at ALL...

  19. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Zombi RN replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that because the nurse was off duty, she should not be fired unless there is a specific policy she is in violation of. And yes, you can't fire people for not having common sense, so such...

  20. Do you "friend" your pts on Facebook???

    Zombi RN replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Private Duty

    Absolutely not!! That is very unprofessional and

  21. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    Zombi RN replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LPNs are nurses, too. Stop talking to me and refusing to call me a NURSE. And also, I'd appreciate it if you'd (different person!) stop freaking going behind my back and have the ovaries to tell me...

  23. 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

    Zombi RN replied to Lurksalot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In the state of Oklahoma, the minimum number of questions for the NCLEX-PN is 85, not 75. NCLEX-RN's minimum is 75. Mine shut off at 85 and I thought I bombed, of course. Obviously I

  24. Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

    Zombi RN replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a white nursing cap, no stripe. It's the stiff cotton style, not the soft style. I have a nursing pin as well, it's silver, circular, and has the nightingale lamp on it. I wear it to work quite...

  25. How to stop visitors from using empty bed???

    Zombi RN replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    Usually "You are not allowed to sit or lie upon this bed" and explanation the first time. Second time, I'm not opposed to having security remove them. But then again, it's been a long time since I...
