  1. Sign-on Bonuses Are Alive and Well

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

    I want to move to Minn. Which hospital there is still offering sign on bonuses and relocation? Hopefully it's in the twin cities, because I don't want to move to a small town like

  2. Do you agree this was unethical?

    whichone'spink replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Damn, I wish I could do that. Maybe I'll keep that in mind for my next position. People have to do what they have to

  3. Ask a CRNA any question you want

    whichone'spink replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Thank you for your thoughtful answer to my somewhat derisive question. Since I started working in the PACU, I have been disappointed in what I've seen of the ACT model. The CRNAs for the most part...

  4. Difference between nursing informatics and health informatics?

    whichone'spink replied to nur18's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Actually, and this is what I found surprising about my program, I am taking some classes with pharmacists, IT focused individuals and even some medical residents. It truly is interdisciplinary. My...

  5. No injections through a tattoo?

    whichone'spink replied to cayenne06's topic in Patient Medications

    I guess it is hard to see the site you're giving the shot in. Same goes for IVs. One guy had tattoos all over, and I had to get another nurse to start an IV with an ultrasound. He put the IV in...

  6. Ask a CRNA any question you want

    whichone'spink replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    I've got one, or at least one big one that could be many questions: What are your thoughts on the Anesthesia Care Team model? Are you allowed to act as an independent provider, where you can write...

  7. Bernie Sanders gets NNU nod

    whichone'spink replied to Farawyn's topic in Nursing News

    I am a registered independent voter and Minnesota does not allow open primaries. I'm half tempted to change my affiliation to Democrat so I can vote for Bernie Sanders in the

  8. Is this real? Vein light

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

    Seeing and feeling work better than any device that supposedly illuminates veins. I have found that devices like the Accuvein are not that

  9. Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    whichone'spink replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    And this is why I want to get out of nursing, so that I don't get to the point where I need drugs, legal and illegal, to just function. People at my place of employment drink till they're sick, and...

  10. Odd interactions

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

    Why was the lap chole in the hospital in the first place? We let most of our lap choles go home unless they were already inpatient to begin with. In some cases I've even discharged formerly inpatient...

  11. Is it true all nurses get MRSA or C-DIFF?

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

    I'm pretty sure I'm colonized with MRSA that I would refuse to have my nose swabbed if I am ever in the

  12. Sign-on Bonuses Are Alive and Well

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

    How is this hospital? Is it a crap hole with lots of turnover? Furthermore, what are the terms and conditions for receiving the bonus? The previous hospital I worked at is offering sign on bonuses in...

  13. My I'm going to medical school

    whichone'spink replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have no interest in becoming a nurse practitioner because I haven't worked long enough as a RN to supplement the piss poor education I would get in a NP program. I don't believe 3 years is enough,...

  14. Ever have a patient complain about you?

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

    See at least your DON has her head screwed on right, and could recognize a manipulative sleaze

  15. Ever have a patient complain about you?

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

    First week off orientation at my first job I got a patient complaint, and I wasn't expecting it either. The patient had a fever, and foul discharge from her lady parts after delivering a baby. I...

  16. All my friends are RNs

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

    On the contrary, it makes it easier to go through life. I don't trust anybody to be snarky with, or to let my guard down with. People make my life more difficult. I am hoping to get out of nursing,...

  17. All my friends are RNs

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

    I have no friends, close or otherwise. I don't really want to be friends with nurses, or doctors for that

  18. Difficult Patient - Definition

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

    I had a higher tolerance for frequently incontinent, turn every 2 hour, type of patients. What I would often request reassignments after 1-2 shifts with patient would be the emotional vampires. The...

  19. Lose your license for administering a PRN med without a pain scale?

    whichone'spink replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    There is probably a reason why they have all these extra benefits. I bet this place also offered a sign on bonus. Not very good

  20. Apple Watch - Why I Love It!

    whichone'spink replied to traumaRUs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can't get over the price. $400 at the very minimum for a watch? And it doesn't work by itself, only with an iPhone, which I have. I love Apple devices, but the price is steep. I think I'll buy a...

  21. Jury awards $3M to fired nurse who complained of 'rushing patients through' to save money

    whichone'spink replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How much did the hospital pay to the nurse who threw her colleague under the bus in order to discredit

  22. Moving to Midwest

    whichone'spink replied to gill24's topic in Nursing Career

    Iowa's average nursing pay is lower even than North Dakota? I interviewed at the hospital in Grand Forks that has a starting pay of only $21. Fargo is not much higher than that. Don't know about...

  23. Employee vs Patient: Do you receive care where you work?

    whichone'spink replied to ladedah1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the hospital I currently work at is far better than the previous one I worked at, and would definitely never get care at the latter facility. That being said, I'm not sure I want coworkers or...

  24. Pros & Con's of baby making while in nursing school.

    whichone'spink replied to 1naturalhealer2016's topic in General Students

    Only cons. Nursing school is hard, and there is a lot of work to do. Save your conceiving efforts for when you're in a better position to do

  25. Thank the good lord for standing orders.

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

    Sigh. I wish I had standing PACU orders because it is annoying as hell to ask to get orders from some anesthesiologists, especially those that have gone back home after the last
