  6. So conflicted!!! Resurrection University?

    digitiminimi replied to EbonyQueen's topic in Illinois Nursing

  8. Nursing sucks

    digitiminimi replied to lawandaluxnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with this mentality at all. How can you deliberately subject yourself to misery? That is just sad. Nursing can be one thing to one person and a completely different thing to another....

  9. Stupid things that nurses say

    digitiminimi replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

  10. Does a RN salary cut it in Chicago?

    digitiminimi replied to UpliftingRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

  13. Are nurses blue or white collar workers?

    digitiminimi replied to digitiminimi's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I thought, if anything, nursing would be categorized as white collar. I just don't see a profession that has the education requirements, knowledge-level, responsibility, and licensure that we have to...

  14. Is this sneaky?

    digitiminimi replied to sbostonRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To me, it looks sneaky. Typically people list their nursing education next to their "RN," not their education in different fields. It looks like you're trying to purposefully embellish and that could...

  16. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    digitiminimi replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  22. How do you verify NG tube placement on your unit?

    digitiminimi replied to digitiminimi's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Are you in a NICU? The reason I ask is because at the NICU I'm at, they verify by auscultating for air in the stomach. I recently did my first NG tube insertion on a preemie and I just wanted to know...
