  1. Afraid to give a shot after needlestick

    RN1298 replied to RN1298's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks guys!! So far so good... I'm def. getting over it (I don't have a choice, haha), although sometimes I'm afraid I'm restraining tooo hard. But I just think when they jerk, that would hurt them...

  3. How do you know if your fit to be a nurse?

    RN1298 replied to bebexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    I still haven't figured out how to quote on here, lol, but in regards to your current schedule--class at 8am and then work until 9:30--I definitely think that's going to help you a lot! I rarely had...

    RN1298 replied to bebexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    RN1298 replied to Leah236's topic in First Year After Licensure

    RN1298 replied to Hisown's topic in General Nursing

    RN1298 replied to Info(RN)matics's topic in General Nursing

    RN1298 replied to heavenlystar87's topic in General Nursing

    RN1298 replied to heavenlystar87's topic in General Nursing

    RN1298 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. New grads starting at Washington Hospital Center

    RN1298 replied to Hisown's topic in General Nursing

    I emailed WHC a few months ago with that same question, and I think right around Christmas I got a reply saying there are no more Dream Days scheduled as of right now. But maybe that's changed or will...

    RN1298 replied to gigglebuns1186's topic in General Nursing
