    Where have all the 12s gone?!

    HisHands posted a topic in California Nursing

    I haven't been on in a while.... lots of stuff going on: husband deployed, returned and then moved me across the country. Now we are in "sunny" north SF Bay area, and, um... loving? it. Anywho,...

    Where have all the 12s gone?!

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in California Nursing

    Well, being from MI, all you see for like 4-6 months a year is gray sky and snow. When my husband told me Uncle Sam was moving us to CA, I envisioned sunny skies and relaxing on the beach. Has it...

    White scrub pants that you can't see through!

    HisHands replied to R0xyg4l's topic in General Nursing

    Cherokee brand (not cherokee workwear) makes a great flare leg pant (with the stylish slit at the ankle). We have to wear Navy and white, so I'm a white scrub pro. You can't see through them or...

    Tall Girl Scrubs

    HisHands replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I am shocked. I am 5'3" and wear cherokee scrubs. I have to buy the regular length because the petites are WAAAY to short, even for me. But, the regular lengths go completely over my shoes and drag...

    Am I being pathetic?

    HisHands replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really hate to sound like a downer, but here's something to think about. When I sat down for my very first nursing class, I remember thinking "I only need to get a 75%?! That's awesome." I was a...

    HisHands replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    wow classy, you seem really disqualifying here. "So to all you in the lower echelons of nursing with visible arm/neck tattoos who dream of achieving more:trout:." What the heck is that? I could...

    RN student - can I challenge the LVN/LPN NCLEX?

    HisHands replied to Jusrovin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    1 - I think it's bunk that RNs who FAILED school are trying to become LPNs. If you FAILED nursing school obviously you missed something there. There must have been concepts that you didn't...

    HisHands replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There will always be someone around you don't like. There will always be someone who got their job, and you didn't think it was fair. There will always be someone who does things differently,...

    Letter to Dean??

    HisHands replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    I just meant "girlfriend" as a female friend. I know you want to find some way to let this person know she's been influential in your nsg journey. Why not tell her? I bet she would love that sort...

    Nights: Normal schedule on days off??

    HisHands replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I work evenings 5 days per week. One thing to consider which may or may not affect you is this. I get off at 11:30pm. By the time I wind down it's 1-1:30. Sometimes later. I don't see my hubby...

    Letter to Dean??

    HisHands replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    I agree. I don't think it was appropriate for her to tell you about her situation. I understand she probably wanted to vent or whatever, but it definitely crosses some role boundaries. She's not...

    LVN instead of RN

    HisHands replied to cancalbloop's topic in General Nursing

    No. I don't think a student should really be able to make a mistake. When I was in clinicals, we started out with ONE patient. We were to know absolutely everything about that patient. We were to...

    What's your level of responsibility?

    HisHands posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a rehab facility. There are three nurses on my unit on my shift. Our average stay is 2-3 weeks, so we get quite a few admissions. Sometimes there might be two admissions on one set, and...

    What's your level of responsibility?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that a policy needs to be made. When I gave her the MAR, I gave her report. Where we work Nurse 1 gets rooms A-D, Nurse 2 gets rooms E-H and Nurse 3 gets rooms I-L. She was nurse 1 and I...

    What have you done for yourself lately?

    HisHands replied to Nvr2Old's topic in General Nursing

    I quit smoking 2 weeks ago. I feel good about that. I also got a membership to a ladies only gym, and I got my nails done on Friday. The biggest thing though is taking a night alone with my hubby....

    How do you feel about famous Doctors doing medication ads?

    HisHands replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I know my scenerio is rather unethical, but here's an idea. If an MD is receiving a significant amt of money to do an ad, do you think he is more likely to perscribe a certain med over another. Like,...

    HisHands replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Here's a truth that unfortunately you will need to learn. I just learned it for heaven's sake. You need to work someplace that is working for you. I got hired at what seemed like a great job. I...
