  1. Veterans Affairs Hiring process

    whichone'spink replied to Tbmingo's topic in Government, Military

    So, will President Trump's executive order putting a hiring freeze on federal government jobs affect hiring for VA

  2. Gov. Christie impose pain pill limit: 5 days for initial RX despite N.J. docs objections

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

    10 days might have been better, but we need more of this legislation in other states as well. Especially the states with more prescription drug

  3. $29/hr--why am I still in this job!?

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

    I make more than that as a RN, in the Upper

  4. What do you do at your workplace to still feel the spirit of Christmas?

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

    I have a Santa hat, and will buy some Christmas socks to wear either on the 24th or 25th. I've got to ask my supervisor to bring out the unit Christmas decorations so I can work on it this

  5. racist patients

    whichone'spink replied to Rn 1979's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm kind of expecting more blatant racism, as a minority. Certain people feel emboldened by our new president-elect, and will now say and do things they didn't feel safe to carry out before....

  6. My professor told us NPs have no future...

    whichone'spink replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    He has a point. Just like there is a glut of RNs, there will be a glut of NPs which will depress wages and ruin the credibility of NPs. I think you should get a degree in something else, and then go...

  7. Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

    whichone'spink replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I knew by 5 years old Santa wasn't real. My parents never confirmed nor denied his existence. I guess I worked it out by myself. By 8 years old, kids should know Santa is just a

  8. Are nurses allowed to turn in wanted criminals?

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

    That is a different case altogether. If I saw them commit murder, then I would alert authorities. Anyone who admits to doing something while they are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is...

  9. Canadian Immigration & Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to o.poole's topic in Immigration Advice

    Well, for certain groups, it may not be a bad idea to consider getting out. Muslims, who may be forced to register like sex offenders. Gays and lesbians, who will definitely have their marriage...

  10. Are nurses allowed to turn in wanted criminals?

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

    Recently in my city, it came out that a suspected murderer now on trial was seen in the ER I used to work in. The nurse that cared for him later reported to the police that the patient told her he...

  11. So what's going to happen to health care now?

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

    As far as insurance, there might be some changes to the ACA. I do hope some things are kept, such as letting young adults stay on their parents' insurance until 26, disallowing denial of insurance...

  12. Does the PVT Work for Elections????

    whichone'spink replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    At least he's still in touch with people in the heartland, like the people in his home town of Flint. The Democratic party was sorely out of touch, and all of us, including the people who voted for...

  13. Does the PVT Work for Elections????

    whichone'spink replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there will be a re-take in 4 years. All the things conspiracy theorists accused Obama of wanting to do, such as implementing martial law and cancelling the election in 2012 and this...

  14. WILT 11/5: No Fast Track for YOU...

    whichone'spink replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of ovarian torsion, this week I learnt even 7 year old girls can have ovarian torsion. It didn't take long to un-twist it though. But this poor girl will have to worry about this for the...

  15. Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

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

    Eek! How does one let it go that far? I hate nursing and wish I could do something else, but this is all I have to earn so I pay the renewal fee. I did let my CO license expire, and only recently...

  16. behavioral health and ED

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

    Goodness. As far as I can remember, psych patients have always flooded the ED. I worked a non-nursing job in an ED in one city, and a nursing job in another ED in another city. 25% or more ED...

  17. Staff Nurses Eating Their Youngs

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

    Oh dear God, maybe allnurses should update the Terms and Conditions of posting to ban emojis from being used. Seriously, it's very distracting, and only children and immature adults use emojis in...

  18. Do you ever wish you were a doctor?

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

    In some ways yes I do wish I had not chosen nursing. Unlike many others, I did have access to funds to pay for any degree I wanted, and I feel like I wasted time and money pursuing nursing. I wish...

  19. I did not realize how bad the insurance market is...Wow!

    whichone'spink posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently interviewed for an informatics job at a facility I used to work at 2 years ago as a bedside nurse. I hated it over there, I'll be honest, but I would like to gain some experience in...

  20. How to make yourself "indispensable"? And a question about nursing education?

    whichone'spink replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    Work in a state with a true nursing shortage, and will hire new grads to work even in specialty areas. I had to move after I finished nursing school in Colorado, to North Dakota. Pay sucks, but you...

  21. Is this bad customer service?

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

    Stop enabling their crappy behavior and stop spending your own money on snacks! Especially for the diabetic

  22. The evolution of a Nurse

    whichone'spink replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    When I look at my old posts, I see someone who was pretty cynical even as a student. Allnurses helped me as a student and a new nurse by preparing me for the difficult time I would have. From...

  23. Does anyone have good experiences in the nursing profession

    whichone'spink replied to magslu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thankfully there are specialties that are similar to that, where you're not stuck with the same person for 12+ hours. The PACU position I'm in is far from perfect, but it's the best job I've had as a...

  24. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

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

    Oh dear God, parents calling their childrens' managers?! I've had some major hiccups at work, but would never think of calling my parents to

  25. PSA: Don't forget to invest!

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

    I find myself in somewhat of a sticky situation. I have a 401(k) through my place of employment, and I have a previous 403(b) from another place of employment that rolled into an IRA when I left. I...
