1. new nurse finally feeling confident!

   minirn replied to annieboo444's topic in General Nursing

   Other new nurses - don't let the 6 months from OP scare you off. I wish I had felt that confident at 6 months. My cross-over point was about 18 months. Of course it was worse in the first 4-5...

2. Anatomy of a crash cart

   minirn replied to delphine22's topic in General Nursing

   There were several good comments here with some good ideas. (I love the scavenger hunt idea) But annual inservice or not, nothing beats repeated hands-on exposure. And if you work on a floor that...

3. Are pattern/print scrubs unprofessional outside of pediatrics?

   minirn replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I see some prints that I think look nice. Personally, I don't wear them. Kind of old fashioned but my hospital dictates (and I still love) All White. Many, many patients tell me they love the...

   minirn replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I found the BBB rated these guys an 'F'. I received a wrong size and color, but since I didn't receive a confirmation email I didn't have a record to prove what I

5. has anyone ever ordered from www.uniformdiscount.com

   minirn replied to Polybear's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   NEVER order from these guys!! I see some of these posts are old, but the company has not gotten any better. I recently ordered 3 scrub tops for my new job - paid $34 to get the 3-day delivery....

6. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

   minirn replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

   Doesn't bother me at all what "terms" people use to describe their level in schooling. Some nursing schools include the "prereqs" right into their curriculum while others make your finish prereqs and...

7. Lost job over HIPAA violation, what is employment potential?

   minirn replied to RockyMountainHigh's topic in HIPAA Challenges

   Although the original poster said no lecture needed - and I see we got lots of lectures - I urge the OP not to be upset about these comments and advice. Even though you and your relative may not have...

8. Any other pre-nursing students over 45?

   minirn replied to aliveword's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I agree with what someone else said. Often the older people are doing this because they want to - different from the some young people that might just need a job. You said you feel sorry because...

9. If you had a choice between 2 year community, or a university....

   minirn replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I agree with the "cheaper the better" approach. I don't think it matters where you go to school - what matters is how you perform once you get a job. The only exception to this if if you just want...

10. "...Nurses are Doctors SKIVVIES"

    minirn replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are taking the comment too personal - get over

11. Tired of being FAT and having low self esteem

    minirn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you eat out A LOT - so it sounds like you have a lot of money to waste on that food. It's expensive to eat like that. Take that money and fill your house only with healthy food. Of...

12. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    minirn replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Several people mentioned the old "candy striper" volunteers as a solution to the many non-nursing activities we do. I'm curious if anyone here has suggested or implemented such a resurection, did...

14. RN "Super Union"

    minirn replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    as i stated in my first post (and yes i am a new poster - i hope that's all right) this was just my opinion. i did not mean to demean anyone. and i did not say anywhere that a nurses union was...

15. RN "Super Union"

    minirn replied to Mindful's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I am opposed to Unions in the Nursing profession. We are professionals. It's humiliating to me to be lumped in with truck drivers and factory workers. Is that how we want to be perceived? It is...
