  1. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    To my instructors past and present: Could you be a little more straightforward about what is going to be on the test? Don't tell us that such and such will be on the test and instead of that, we get...

  2. First nursing exam grade ....... ughh

    whichone'spink replied to SammyRN2012's topic in General Students

    Get used to more of these grades. Your instructors throw out these trick questions and their concept of the "most correct" answer is not yours. Their rationale is they are preparing you for the...

  3. I prefer working with new grads,or non-hospital nurses

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

    But then the new grad in the hospital can quickly turn into the kind of nurse you don't want to work

  4. The Fight For Care

    whichone'spink replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes nurses give equal attention to all patients, providing they have the time. But it's the hospitals and insurance companies that decide treatment for patients based on how much money they have....

  5. The Fight For Care

    whichone'spink replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    And I pray to God to live there, because America is changing from the land of the free to a kleptocracy. And it will only get worse in the next 2

  6. What's with the drug shortages?

    whichone'spink replied to Scooty Puff Jr's topic in Emergency

    .......is the catch-all excuse by the Pharma companies and insurance companies. It's not like they'll be hurting when it goes into effect. They just want to influence public opinion negatively...

  7. It's all about who you know!

    whichone'spink replied to lucylu 777's topic in General Nursing

    Two words: Instant Karma. If she does a poor job as an RN, then she'll be pantsed soon

  8. Inept New Grads?

    whichone'spink replied to imanedrn's topic in Emergency

    Hey, cool

  9. Difference Between a New Nurse and an Old Nurse

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

    I did that once with a clinical instructor. When she did my end of the course evaluation, she had to tell me not to say "I know" every time. Oops. Well, at least she was gracious about

  11. do you get enough clinical experience?

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

    You just have to be proactive and keep your eyes open for opportunities. As you get more organized during clinicals, you'll have a little more time to look

  12. Question about student nurses working at your facility

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

    At the hospital I was at last semester as well as the one I am at this semester, I have full access to charting. I am required to do 2 assessments, 2 sets of vitals, all medications except IVP, and...

  13. Not Motivated...at all.

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

    Fear of failing? That keeps me up at night. I have a 74% cut off and I don't want to fall below that on then first

  14. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    whichone'spink replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    My personal opinion is that it depends on the context. If I am a consultant being paid directly by someone for my services, that person is my client. If I'm a nurse in a hospital, I'm paid by the...

  15. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    whichone'spink replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    I use the term patient when I write up my care plans. My instructors don't mind, as they too don't use the term

  16. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    whichone'spink replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    You need to look at the tests for this course and other nursing courses. Do the questions come from material covered in class, or are they from the book or workbook if your class has a required...

  17. Anyone else never given a bath?

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

    I've given a couple of bed baths, and they were with it enough to wash their own peri area. Always ask if they want to wash their own private areas. If they are confused or demented, then that would...

  18. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

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

    At least 4 a day for Med Surg. Fortunately the other class I'm taking does not have any

  19. Assessing your cohort

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

    Every one in my class is for the most part there to succeed. There were a few people who failed the first semester of classes but I think we're all caught up now. There's one group in particular...

  20. Why do you like Emergency Department Nursing?

    whichone'spink replied to RN_in_SC's topic in Emergency

    I'm still a student, but I work as a scribe in the ER. But from what I've seen, the nurses have a lot of autonomy, especially in triage. They can get a whole lot of stuff started right in the...

  21. Really?? A Farmer's Market in the hospital?

    whichone'spink replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Why can't it be outside the hospital, if there is a large enough area. Or maybe in the courtyard, if there is one. The intentions are good. I mean, who doesn't like a farmer's market. But the...

  22. should potential employers use credit checks?

    whichone'spink replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Everybody and their mother checks people's credit scores. My employer did, the insurance company where I got my car insurance did, and the credit union where I opened an account did. I wish it...

  23. Free Ibooks - relevant to nursing (and exam prep too!)

    whichone'spink replied to coffee and toast's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah, unfortunately there is no way to purchase iBooks from Itunes. You have to purchase it by opening the iBooks app on your iDevice. It doesn't really make sense, given that we can purchase music,...

  25. Japan needs nurses, STAT

    whichone'spink replied to betakurt's topic in General World

    Konichiwa, I think. In any case, I don't think I could do so well in Japan. The language requirement will be hard to
