  1. Anti-Intellectualism/Autonomy in nursing

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

    This is why I have not been impressed with Med-surg nursing so far. There are a lot of things that need to be done if the patient is going downhill, and what if the doc is somewhere on the other side...

  2. Is it bad to get b's in nursing school?

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

    Maintain your GPA at 3.0 or above, and I think that will be okay. Some schools also have provisional status, meaning you are accepted to grad school with a less than 3.0 GPA, but they'll let you take...

  3. Is this a HIPAA violation?

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

    Not safe, don't do it. If they can access the chart, they can look up that stuff themselves. If I took a patient cared for by another student, I always did the legwork

  5. anyone working as both ER RN and Paramedic??

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

    If you do both, you could look at flight nursing later

  6. Differences between Canadian and USA nursing?

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

    Thank you for the reply. Sad that Ontario is so scarce right now. I think I'll stick to the West. As for most of the jobs being casual (or PRN as it's known in the US) or part time, it's the same...

  7. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

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

    Saw in a triage note that a patient c/o jaw pain had recent oral surgery, and it was written as "oral sx". Needless to say I was not the only one who read it the wrong

  8. Differences between Canadian and USA nursing?

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

    What is the hiring outlook like for a soon-to-be American nurse getting a BSN? I'm specifically interested in Alberta, but would like to know about the other provinces as

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

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

    I apologize on behalf of the other students for asking you what will be on the test constantly. But part of our collective neuroticism has been caused by you and the other instructors we have had so...

  11. Does nursing require this stuff???

    whichone'spink replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at the requirements for the programs in your area. That should give you an idea of what you should focus on in

  12. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    whichone'spink replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    D/Ced two hemovacs and two q-balls. Not too bad, it was just my first time. I almost got the chance to take out staples, but the patient had to be pre-medicated first and it was around the time I...

  14. Really disappointed with the reality of nursing.

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

    I see you are from Canada, which does a better job of protecting workers than any state in the US (save California). Very few facilities in the United States have unionized workforces, and this is...

  15. NEW guidelines for CPR - ABC to CAB

    whichone'spink replied to NurseBear10's topic in General Nursing

    Some commenters are bringing up the point that what if the problem is related to the airway? Furthermore, what if the person who went down actually has a pulse? Do you think the old arrangement, ABC,...

  17. *Ahem* A Reminder - It Is *That* Time of Year Again

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

    I'm working on Halloween. I think I'll just put on an eyepatch and leave it at that. No stupid nurse's uniform for me, given the naughty connotations it may

  18. i think its starting to get to me

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

    I no longer have A's in the core non-fluff nursing classes. That doesn't mean I don't know my stuff. I do, but the tests are still difficult nevertheless. As long as my GPA is not too low for grad...

  19. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    No, do NOT mess with the IV pump. Do not mess with your IV or tubing. I don't know why the flip it is beeping, and I suspect you are messing with stuff. Leave it

  20. does anyone regret becoming a nurse?

    whichone'spink replied to CC999's topic in General Nursing

    I went into nursing with good intentions but I worry about what will happen when I graduate. I feel like I'm being set up to fail within the first year. Recall the music video for Pink Floyd's...

  21. Nurses Union Plans Ad Campaign Against Nevada Republican

    whichone'spink replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wish Colorado had a strong nurses union. Good on the Nevada Nurses Union. You've certainly got a candidate worse than the typical psych patient over there. So does Colorado but Sharron Angle is...

  22. Age of graduates coming out of Nursing School!?

    whichone'spink replied to Blessed S.N.23's topic in General Students

    Will be 24 when I graduate. If I didn't move to another city, I would actually be an RN

  23. Nursing student freeze?

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

    Nursing schools need to make money, so I highly doubt that will happen. Maybe they can stop churning out graduates twice a year, and instead limit it to once a

    whichone'spink replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Did two IV sticks while spending time in the ER. Got 1 out of 2. The 2nd one was a damn good one, as I was able to fill up all the blood tubes
