2. Unit Secretary Doesn't Know Scope of Practice!

   HididiScribbler replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't post that often here, but felt that I had to reply. While I understand the concerns about minors working in the healthcare setting, not all 16 year olds are the same. This specific instance...

   HididiScribbler replied to CABG patch kid's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

   HididiScribbler replied to Brian's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   When I was in school I had my adult stethoscope, bandage scissors, penlight, notebook, PDA, and usually a stash of alcohol wipes. Now that I've started my new job in the NICU, all I bring to work is...

   Thanks so much for the post! I'm a new grad (...still can't believe that) and I'm starting in the NICU next week...on the one hand, this is what I've always wanted and on the other hand, I'm scared to...

   HididiScribbler posted a topic in Pediatric

   I'm a nursing student in my third (out of four) semester. I have a ways to go but before I know it, I'm going to have to start interviewing for jobs. I already know that I want to go into something...

9. Any Kaiser nurses?

   HididiScribbler replied to kirsnikity's topic in California Nursing

   I did clinicals at Kaiser-Anaheim...they said that since all positions are first opened up to current employees, usually only med-surg and maybe some post-partum positions are open to new

10. Wild Color Stethoscope?

    HididiScribbler replied to tofutti's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

12. What do nurses really think of CNAs?

    HididiScribbler replied to ccyrrus's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a nursing student, but I thought I'd stick my head in anyway and give my two cents... When I first started nursing school, I worked more closely with the CNAs, since I couldn't pass meds,...

13. Does anyone know about the 30 unit option?

    HididiScribbler replied to scallywags's topic in California Nursing

    I've heard of this, but don't know much about it... If I'm not mistaken, you can get your license ONLY in California but not your associates? I've heard some professors talking about it, and they...

    HididiScribbler replied to amanji's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it's hard to get into CA nursing schools, but there IS hope IF you can put up with waiting. For example, my school accepts 40 people a semester based on points...for that, yeah, you would...
