  1. How much free time do you generally have as an RN?

    wsuRN09 replied to amk8987's topic in General Nursing

  2. acls classes easier then pals?

    wsuRN09 replied to aeronursenj's topic in General Nursing

    They were about the same for me, but it may depend on your instructors and/or where you take the class. However, if you've passed one, the other shouldn't be a problem for

    wsuRN09 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I don't like to admit it, but I watched Glee.... however, I was slightly offended by the stab the season premier made at male nurses... and I quote "female football coach, like male nurses, are a...

    wsuRN09 replied to gobucky*'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing this and we are so looking forward to the anniversary trip. It was a little disappointing to not have the HM right away but we've been doing weekend getaways about every 6 weeks which are...

  6. Overtime pay versus holiday pay

    wsuRN09 replied to Noimanurse's topic in General Nursing

    With my employer if you work a holiday and it's overtime, you get double pay instead of time and 1/2 for just one or the other. It doesn't happen often, but it's pretty nice come payday

  8. Pregnant and nursing school... full or part-time?

    wsuRN09 replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

    Your baby is taking care of his or herself at the moment, so now is the best time to finish up school IMO. That way when the baby is born you can devote all of your attention to your new family. But...

    wsuRN09 replied to JStollRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I have the same problem. On nights I have to work we only see each other for 1-2 hours which, like you said, is not enough. On his days off he makes a point to be awake when I get...

  10. Really disappointed with the reality of nursing.

    wsuRN09 replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One thing I have learned in my short time being a employee, is that it doesn't seem to matter what job you have, there will always be some sort of BS you have to put up with. I had nasty coworkers...

  11. taking CA NCLEX, is it harder?

    wsuRN09 replied to watchasay10's topic in General Nursing

  13. The Only Bad Thing.....

    wsuRN09 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    26 years vs. your 3 months... I think you're doing just fine. Don't stress it too much especially since it sounds like your boss is supportive of you and the fact that you're new to this. Good luck...

  14. My Patient Died today

    wsuRN09 replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone handles it differently and some are better at coping with it than others. I'm not surprised that you feel fine, especially since you only knew the pt for a short amount of time and it sounds...

  15. What to do in my last semester...

    wsuRN09 replied to Blueorchid's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would stick with the job you have as a tech. You don't know how long it will take you to find a job once you graduate and pass NCLEX, especially since the market is still tough for new...

    wsuRN09 replied to nursej22's topic in General Nursing

  18. RN License in Washington or Alabama?

    wsuRN09 replied to rcfj2290's topic in General Nursing

    Washington is not a compact state, unfortunately. Depending on how soon you plan to move to WA for the BSN program would determine whether or not to get your license in your current state or WA....

  19. ACLS for soon to be GN? Advice please.

    wsuRN09 replied to sh1901's topic in General Nursing

  21. New Grad in ER with unsafe practice - Advice please?

    wsuRN09 replied to R!XTER's topic in Emergency

    wsuRN09 replied to westheimer1234's topic in General Nursing
