    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    whichone'spink replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    When I had to drive half an hour away to do my psych clinicals, my whole group would carpool. It was the closest group I was in. Our favorite song was Cee Lo Green's song "Forget you". Well,...

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

    Oh, if only placebos were still allowed in certain cases. If I were to do that as a new nurse, my ass would be canned faster than I could say

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

    I've done nearly all of my clinicals at Memorial, and I find out these things by observation and by asking around. The med-surg floors hire the most new grads of course. Sent from my iPad using...

    whichone'spink replied to myko's topic in General Students

    You can take it before you become a nurse, but you won't be able to do much in a code situation as a student besides compressions and bagging. But I know one student who got her certification in our...

    Don't be one of those students that goes to the instructor after a test and challenges every single question they get wrong. Accept the rationale and move on. Most of your instructors are...

  18. Not satisfied with Kaplan

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Turned out NCSBN's review will not work on my computer (I have a MacBook), so I am just sticking with Kaplan. And Kaplan does have content review, which I found in the toolbox. While going through...

  19. Do you find the nursing theorists/theories you studied in school useful in real life?

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

  24. Feels good to get rid of any remnants of my stupidity

    whichone'spink posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today, I am going to get rid of Sheehy's Emergency Nursing book once and for all. I don't know why the hell I took an Emergency Nursing class in nursing school. It didn't do me any good. All I was...

  25. CUT OFF

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

    There is one CNA at my facility who has been told to cut the overtime big time. She can no longer list herself as available without prior approval. All fine and well to save money, but if there is a...
