  4. Nursing Shortage: New Grad or Experienced

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

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

    That response was uncalled for. It's why I don't share such things. I live in what is practically the Evangelical Vatican, and I don't want to elicit the response I am pretty sure I will get when I...

    whichone'spink replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

  7. Orienting woes!

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

    And this stupid fool gives new grads a bad name. Sorry to call her that, but it's the truth. That unit will now be a little more cautious when hiring a new

  8. Are Hospitals requiring courses to be considered for hire unfair?

    whichone'spink replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know if student nurses can take ACLS and/or PALS before licensure? I am strongly considering doing that in order to help me get a job in an area I want to work in, or any job for that

  11. What do I do about nurses who think my job is worthless?

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

  13. Where to find classes/educational opportunities?

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

    Check out the local hospitals' websites. They might have some sort of education link where you can find relevant classes to take. If you aren't an employee of the hospital, you might have to pay a...

  14. Powerpoint Overkill

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

  17. If you could do it all over again, would you choose nursing as your career?

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

    If I don't get my first nursing position in 6 months, well hey, that may be a sign to go to PA school. I have worked as a scribe for nearly 2 1/2 years and those hours could count towards the contact...

  20. The things your teachers say...

    whichone'spink replied to jaymeparker88's topic in Nursing Humor

  22. Anyone else feel like they don't know anything?

    whichone'spink replied to ornurse25's topic in General Nursing

    Seems that everything I've learnt has blended in with what I'm learning now. But I'll be damned if you ask me about the Krebs cycle, or how to balance a chemical equation. I just need a little...

  23. Previous felony convictions, 1400 percent increase!

    whichone'spink replied to ITSSOSIMPLE's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Okay, not all felony convictions are drug related. Some could be far worse than just drug offenses. Would you want a violent person or a pedophile to take care of your loved

    whichone'spink replied to jazzy88rn's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it would only work in Florida, with the number of retirees there. And all those Medicare

  25. Previous felony convictions, 1400 percent increase!

    whichone'spink replied to ITSSOSIMPLE's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thankfully, just because people with felonies attend school, doesn't mean they will ever be allowed to obtain a license. But yeah, schools should filter out these people by asking if they have a...
