  1. Depression After Graduation...

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

    I felt a bit like that the day after pinning. It's just a normal reaction to having so much more free time, after all these years of nursing school. But there's still a lot of stuff you can do, like...

  2. The First Year Newbie Nurse Survival Plan

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

    Doctors, who are mostly men, think in a more linear fashion. You take care of business, that's all they ask. Nurses, mostly women, are way too complicated. Any little thing, any perceived slight...

  3. Is nursing what you thought it would be?

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

    I had my eyes wide open on day one of clinicals. I saw how short staffed the floor was. Often there were no CNAs so all the nurses had to get vitals, linen changes, bed baths and the like. Not a...

    Not yet. I'm hoping I'll hear something, either positive or negative, by the end of the

  5. Difference between a graduate nurse & a experienced nurse

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

    Hahahahahaha. I am a graduate nurse (haven't taken NCLEX yet), and I still find this funny. Hell, I find myself more like the experienced nurse at times. I cover my name badge at work, I don't...

  6. Interview for an ED training program

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

    It's a training program at the sister hospital to the one I work at. I don't want to give away too much about where I work, so I won't give the name of the hospital where this program will be. It is...

  8. Patient satisfaction

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

    My facility has scripts but my manager has not really stressed these scripts. Rather she says they are just a guideline of what we should say. It's called AIDET: Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration,...

  10. Patient satisfaction

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

    My facility has a program for patients who don't have a problem resolved, where they will receive a gift card for their troubles to be used in our cafeteria or gift shop. I think it's pretty...

  12. ACLS Megacode

    whichone'spink posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today I just completed ACLS for the first time in my fledgling career. It was very educational, and I feel confident that I'll have half an idea of what to do in a code besides compressions and...

    whichone'spink posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    First job application sent. Let's see where it

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

    Aaannnndd, the first rejection. I got an email saying that I would hear about my application status today, but haven't heard anything. I'm guessing that's a no. Back to square one. I applied for...

  15. ACLS Megacode

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

    It did seem like there were a lot of people who did not know their algorithms, or didn't know what to do in general. At least half of the class was like this. Since ACLS seems to be required for...

  16. What color is your uniform?

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

    White collar top (not even close to a scrub top), white pants and white shoes. For community health, I had a white polo shirt with my school's logo in it, and khaki or navy blue pants. I can't wait...

    whichone'spink replied to allysun1's topic in General Nursing

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

    Bah, sleep is overrated. I once had a whole clinical day on 4 hours of sleep. I did okay. I crashed right afterwards but during the day I did

  20. The War On Fat

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

    Easier said than done. In this economy, people's biases and prejudices are coming out, and are indeed being used to base hiring decisions on. Of course , employers use the economy as an excuse for...

  21. Nurses Week/Hospital Week

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

    I am thankful my hospital does not force nurses to share their week with some other week. I think my hospital really does care about nurses, or at least it looks that way compared to other hospitals....

  22. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    whichone'spink replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    To my community health professor: Your ass should have been fired years ago. You just can't teach all that well. You have never provided much direction on our assignments and we get dinged because...

  23. Favorite things you bought during RN school to help your studies?

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

    The LiveScribe smart pen, which records lectures at the same time I write. In addition, if I tap on something that I wrote, the audio during the time I was scribbling down something also comes

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

    One more week of classes, and two more weeks until pinning for me!! For all you folks in school right now, there is a light at the end of the

  25. Management demanding perfection from a new grad

    whichone'spink replied to lmd-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Holy crap, wow! I can relate, although thankfully I was taken out of my rotten situation quickly, because I'm just a student at this point. The manager of the ED I was placed in for my practicum sent...
