    whichone'spink replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a scribe in the ED, and I've been at it for more than a year. It has opened my eyes to how people abuse the system and the entitlement mentality that some patients have. I hope other...

    whichone'spink replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

  3. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

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

    The way the system is, the higher the degree one has, usually the higher the compensation. So if you really want to make a lot of money, higher ed is the way to go. And at least with a master's in...

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

  6. Is this the career of an RN?!

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

    Just because you will be on your own with a patient, doesn't mean you can't ask for help from your classmates or instructor. And you just got yourself an unexcused absence. I don't know your...

  7. what drug reference book do you like and why?

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

    I have Nursing Central from Unbound Medicine, and that bundle includes the Davis Drug Guide. Have had no problems with it. Maybe I will get Epocrates, because Epocrates also lists drug-drug...

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

    I did an summer internship for high school and college students interested in health care, where I was placed in a cardiac cath lab. I think that was where I decided I wanted to be a nurse. I was a...

  11. Nursing Diagnoses: Useless Statements secondary to Professional Insecurity

    whichone'spink replied to Fribblet's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't like the nursing dx either, but I do find the interventions listed to be helpful. Some, if not most, are common sense. Others are interventions I wouldn't have immediately thought of. If it...

  12. Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    whichone'spink replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    Bad grammar is bad enough on the message boards. What really gets me is the poor spelling and lack of punctuation used in nurse's notes. Does it really take long to put in a period in between...

  13. Just have to share- pt's spouse's thoughts on nursing.

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

    The boy's mother is stupid, and he will have to figure out his parent's shortcomings later in life. Every one does at some point; it's part of growing up. Hopefully he gets better guidance from...

  15. Is anyone else's school increasing tuition?

    whichone'spink replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    Practically every school around the country has increased tuition and fees. At my school, we got a 7% increase. And at my school, the college of nursing and health sciences already has the highest...

  17. Studying nursing theory, came across Jean Watson

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

    I did not like nursing theory when I took Foundations of Nursing almost a year ago. If I have to go through that all over again, then I would rather go to PA school than NP

  18. dear patients, please quit saying that to me

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

    I remember when I was going through the security line at the San Francisco Airport about 3 years ago. I showed the security agent my boarding pass and drivers license, and she said "You look like a...

  19. Archetypes in Nursing

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

    I think I fit the silent profile because even now at school, I don't socialize with most of my classmates. I've opened up a little, but not too much. No one needs to know about my personal life....

  20. What advise would you give to your younger self?

    whichone'spink replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still pretty young but I know a lot more than I did at 18. If my currently 22 year old self were giving advice, this is what it would be: Get the heck away from the house after graduation, and...

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

    What energizes me? Clinicals. I like the hands on stuff. Then again, I only finished Fundamentals, and I haven't had med-surg yet. I might change my mind. What saps me? The loads of papers I have...

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