    linguine replied to Angitia's topic in General Students

    If there is nursing shortage or if there will eventually be one, where is the shortage? bedside? NP? educators? researchers? Many top hospitals are placing new grads in a nurse residency program to...

  3. Formality in the hiring process.

    linguine posted a topic in General Nursing

  5. Personality type for perioperative nursing?

    linguine replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in Operating Room

    When I shadowed in an OR during a nursing school rotation, the OR had a quiet but also highly concentrated energy type feeling. To me, the med surg floors were overwhelming in comparison because there...

    linguine replied to friendlylark's topic in Emergency

  7. I got resistance when giving IM injection in deltoid. What does that mean?

    linguine replied to saigelily's topic in General Nursing

    linguine replied to linguine's topic in Operating Room

    Hi Lam2010, Thank you for your insight! Do all OR nurses combine scrub and circulating duties? A friend, also a nurse, straight up told me to not do OR nursing because angry surgeons can throw...

  9. IV starts in nursing school

    linguine replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

  11. Do you think Patients would confuse me for a doctor if I'm South Asian and male?

    linguine replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

  13. Nurse residency-should this be mandatory?

    linguine replied to linguine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think so as well. I wonder if it would be more beneficial to students to have all the lectures/book work and skills check outs done before even stepping foot into clinicals. Its almost as if the...

  14. Nurse residency-should this be mandatory?

    linguine replied to linguine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From my udnerstanding, isn't this why physicians do residencies in their intended specialties? Do you think it would be helpful if nurses had to do this as well? Some of my classmates knew that they...
