  1. Need some advice on my Dansko shoes!

    Mine hurt my feet for about 2 weeks, they have a higher arch than I was used to but after the two weeks they were great, no pain at all! Maybe take your tennis shoes with you and try wearing the...
  2. Why do some RNs hate this?

    38,000? That's awful, what state pays this
  3. Some parts of the hospital do not require you to have cerification. For example: In MO, where I live, if you have completed your first semester of nursing school, you do not need to get the...
  4. Very High Fevers

    We had a guy transferred to us for this problem, negative blood and urine cultures, elevated WBC, spikes a fever of 102-103 intermittantly all day. Not the typical response to the fever either, he...
  5. optional textbooks

    I would get an adult and pediatric drug book, laboratory tests book, and medication calculations book (if you struggle in math). Those are the only ones I have found helpful either to myself or...
  6. A little advice sure would be nice!

    It sucks to hear stuff like that but you have to look at like this.... Your doctor isn't your cheerleader (that role is for your support system), doctors are there to look after your health, while you...
  7. Ebay stores are usually a little
  8. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    While I know there are schools that aren't that great, I don't think schools are to blame for this. I feel that people should know how to act and dress for interviews well before graduating from...
  9. "Negative dilute" drug test?

    If they have a problem with this, they will have you retest, shouldn't be a big deal, don't freak out
  10. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    You are comparing apples to oranges here. It's easy to argue affirmative action because it's a well known topic, you are trying to argue your opinion on something no one has heard of, therefore you...
  11. Stuttering Stupid Nurse

    This was going to be my suggestion to the OP, pull them aside and fill them in or they will forever remain ignorant. It's a shame that this is happening in healthcare, they of all people should know...
  12. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    Goodness, that sounds awful. Did they not fight over your resume? I would've if I was a recruiter, no way would I have even entertained what you just decribed. They should have someone at the door...
  13. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    But she has read a lot about it and heard a lot about it. Plus her mom and dad are Christians and they have heard about it and have talked to her about it, I'm sure they read it all and know all...
  14. Nursing and sexual abuse history

    Honestly, there aren't hundreds of clinical days, there is a good chance that you can make it through clinical without some of what you mentioned. Bed baths and peri care on male patients you will...
  15. Obamacare Survives, Supreme Court Rescues 'Big Health'

    I am completely politically ignorant, I know how this will effect me personally but will someone tell me how it will effect
  16. Nurses are the real heroes ?

    I wonder if the guy who made this comment would think otherwise if a nurse worked for 20 minutes doing CPR on his child and as a result the child lived? Heroes are in the eye of the beholder, my...

    Yikes, 58%, glad I still have another semester before I have to take this
  18. I believe this was neglect, ADON disagrees...what should I do?

    Why wouldn't the tech tell someone that they couldn't care for one of their patients, they need to go! I'm not one who likes to see people fired but I hate neglect

    you are freakin me out! i signed up earlier today for this but when i went back into my account i can't find the terms and conditions, do you know of anything specifically that we would need to
  22. Refusing a Clinical assignment

    I have seen this done before on my unit with stroke patients. A patient had a long history of narcotic use (not abuse) for chronic pain and was on a large dose of Oxycontin, doc changed it to a...
  23. I believe this was neglect, ADON disagrees...what should I do?

    If you feel it needs to be reported, then do it! Your DON clearly has other motives, you can anonymously report them and would do so for the personnel who didn't go in to check on her as well. I'm...
  24. I failed nursing school by 1 class

    Good thought CalledtoCare, they could sit for PN and join a bridge program if the school allows it, may be something to check
  25. Refusing a Clinical assignment

    It really depends on why you want to refuse. If you are just nervous about a procedure or condition then NO don't refuse, use your instructor and nurse as a resource so that you can LEARN to become...
