  1. Should I apply for new grad intern job

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

    Should I apply for a job that explicitly states that I would be doing CNA work, functioning under the guidelines of my state's Nursing Aide practice act? I am really worried about the legalities of...

  3. Psych nursing and ER nursing-Will it affect my career trajectory?

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Emergency

    If I were to work as a psych nurse and wanted to later get back into the ER, would that negatively impact any chance of getting a job as as ER nurse. I know of two people who did that, and they did...

  4. Psych nursing and ER nursing-Will it affect my career trajectory?

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Emergency

    No, I'm not in the ER as a nurse. I worked in the ER in a non-nursing role. I am still interested in becoming an ER nurse, but given the pickings for new grads, jobs outside the hospital are where...

  5. The Unwritten Laws Nurse Managers Live By

    whichone'spink replied to rntj's topic in Nurse Management

    Here's another unwritten rule nurse managers live by: The word of another manager counts more than your personal experience with your subordinate. You know this subordinate is a good worker, and will...

  6. Protect Your Patients When Giving Promethazine (Phenergan)

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Medications

    Thank you for this article. I've given Phenergan once as a student, diluted in 10 mL NS of course! I've not given it in IM form, yet. How much NS would be needed to dilute IM Phenergan? And is it...

  7. Cutting my ties to this specialty

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Emergency

    Next week is my last week as a scribe. It's time for me to move on, not only from that job, but from the ED in general. My rotten experience as a student has scarred me for life and I want nothing...

  8. Cutting my ties to this specialty

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Emergency

    OMG, yes that's exactly what happened. I did my best to be friendly with the RNs, and some even gave me nursing pointers. For the most part, I got along with the RNs save for a few, who I sensed...

  10. Cutting my ties to this specialty

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Emergency

    My scribe training has served me well, no doubt. It helped me earn a unit secretary job on a medical floor, and I hope and pray it works out there. I would have loved to be an ED nurse, but the...

  11. Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    whichone'spink replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I did my best to keep my FB profile as clean as I could. I then decided it was too much trouble to maintain a FB profile, plus I was uncomfortable with the invasion of privacy issues and time wasting...

  12. Cutting my ties to this specialty

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Emergency

    I fortunately did not get a job in the ED as a nurse, but I was treated badly as a student. Now I realize how woefully unprepared I am to start in such a crazy environment. Even with five years of...

  16. My email filter is a genius!

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

    I'm still waiting for my free iPhone. And I'm a little worried about my friend who got mugged in London, and is asking me to send some cash through PayPal. Funny, because I saw her today in

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Colorado Nursing

  19. Friday the 13th - Any madness?

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

    Oddly enough....no! The last Friday the 13th I worked was crazy, with multiple ambulances streaming into the ED. This year, not a peep. I was even sent home early, and so was the doctor I worked...

  20. "Loosing" my license

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I've read posts from nurses on this board about people (notably family members angry they didn't get their way, angry patients who didn't get their way, and even stalkers) who made anonymous...

    whichone'spink replied to esunada's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked with a nurse who was a nice guy, loved by his patients and got along well with his coworkers (including me). This nurse took the time to make me a cup of tea when I was at work sick as a...

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

    I had to do a drug screen, provide my immunization titers, have my blood pressure taken, and had to do a lift test and a wheelchair pushing test. That's what I remember from my pre-employment. The...

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

    That is the conundrum I find myself in at the moment. I am an employee in a big system that has hospitals all over the state I live in. Do I apply in multiple positions in multiple hospitals in this...
