  1. HealthOne hospitals-What are they like

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    What's it like to work in any one of the HealthOne/HCA hospitals in the Denver area, such as Swedish Medical Center, Sky Ridge, Medical Center of Aurora etc? I'm thinking of applying to different...

  2. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    whichone'spink replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    $30,000 a year, which is what I will start out making as a new grad wherever I move to (except the deep south maybe), is enough for me. As long as I can pay my rent, monthly bills, food, and any...

    whichone'spink replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    whichone'spink replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL, I've seen that before. I even slipped and fell on the floor when I was cleaning it up. Not a good idea to wear

  7. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    whichone'spink replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not the profession for her. She'll need to get vaccines in order to complete clinicals for nursing school, and later, working in a hospital. Nursing is too focused on western medicine,...

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I messed up today on one phone interview. There were questions, simple questions, that completely stumped me, and that awkwardness definitely came across during the phone interview. Should I not...

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The face-to-face was scheduled at the same time the phone interview was scheduled. Now they have second thoughts about me. I should just forget about the face-to-face because the person who...

  10. Screwed up my phone interview, should I cancel face-to-face?

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you for the feedback. I am going to cancel the face-to-face interview. I am traveling from another state, and it would just be a waste of time and money. I am paying a lot for a hotel, and to...

    whichone'spink replied to redhead_NURSE98!'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    These are the same questions I got during one weird interview at a nursing home, and I'm a new grad. No questions about my long-term goals or anything like that. To top off this weird interview, the...

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If there's one thing I regret not doing, is getting my LPN license (or CNA or EMT-B or P) before I got into a 4 year nursing

  16. Nurses: Have you ever had to show compassion to someone who didn't want it?

    whichone'spink replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't like it when nurses call me sweety or honey, which they also do with older adults as well. It's a way of showing compassion, but it's so damn condescending that it rubs people the wrong

  17. The Elderly Are Devalued

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If LTC was a decent environment to work in, then more people perhaps would work in LTC. If the standard is 5 days of orientation, being asked constantly to sign up for overtime or to stay for a...

    whichone'spink replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am currently completing a Kaplan NCLEX review class. It was the only one offered at a discount at my school, so I took it. I'm not impressed so far. The decision tree has turned out to be a dud,...

    whichone'spink replied to Queen2u's topic in General Nursing

    What do your duties consist of with nurse-family partnership? I'm a new grad nurse who just applied for two public health jobs, one of them being the nurse-family partnership. I got a very brief idea...

  24. mental health

    whichone'spink replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    I'm sure as part of lectures for mental health, you will learn therapeutic communication and basic counseling responses. That will help you talk to patients a little bit. But the best thing you can...

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
