    One thing's for certain... it can always get

  2. The "dirty" side of nursing...

    Picklefreak replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    You should have said, "Emesis is my nemesis!" Poop, blood, and all that is gross for sure, but I'm pretty sure I turned a nice shade of green the other day when I pulled the socks off a man and about...

  3. Is there any place hiring new grads?

    Picklefreak replied to cisa04's topic in General Nursing

    That may very well be true, but the question is, are those states hiring new grads? I am in OKC, btw. I'm not sure how the job market is in the rest of the

  4. Is there any place hiring new grads?

    Picklefreak replied to cisa04's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a recent grad from Oklahoma. No one I went to school with had any trouble finding a job in acute care. Most hospitals around here are willing to hire new grads. Our economy didn't take as big a...

  5. How long does it take to give report?

    Picklefreak replied to DemonWings's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. I generally have 5 patients on my Tele floor. If one nurse takes all five of my patients, report can take only 10-15 minutes. There are some days, however, that I take/give report to 3 or...

  7. offended co worker

    Picklefreak replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

    honestly, i think that is probably for the best. he does not sound like a person who would be easy to be friends with. i would hate to pal around with someone if i had to walk on eggshells and worry...

  8. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    Picklefreak replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    No one is taking issue with someone asking how to incorporate faith into one's nursing practice. What people are taking issue with is the assertion that there is a "huge difference" between nurses who...

  9. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    Picklefreak replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm sure that the OP didn't intend to be offensive. People often make offensive remarks out of ignorance. If prayer, meditation, or sacrificing chickens helps you in your nursing practice, by all...

  10. Employee Engagement survey

    Picklefreak replied to UnionRN2's topic in General Nursing

    I work for the same organization. A few years ago, my coworkers and I got together and discussed what we would like to suggest on the survey. We all asked for the same very specific things. (Updated...

  11. you are diabetic and no you cant use hair iron curler

    Picklefreak replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Going to the salon doesn't seem like a very practical solution to daily hairstyling. Maybe there are some other suggestions you could make to her. I wonder if wearing an Ove Glove would work? Or...

  12. Cleaner RN jobs

    Picklefreak replied to kyonguyen22's topic in General Students

    Poop and vomit and blood are just the beginning. Wait until you suction a trach or come across your first pressure ulcer with undermining and tunneling. Or assist with a paracentesis and hold an...

  13. Doing a favor vs. being an RN

    Picklefreak replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I would do it for a neighbor who was a good friend, but not just for anyone. Like someone else said, would you expect your neighbor who was a plumber to come over and fix your drains for free? I guess...

  14. What to take on a job interview?

    Picklefreak replied to rochelle03lc's topic in General Nursing

    I would take a pen and a notebook. You can use it to jot down any information they tell you in the interview. You can also jot down any questions you have for your potential employer ahead of time so...

    Picklefreak replied to RescueNinja's topic in General Nursing

    There is no mention of what you describe on the manufacturer's website. (They even have a little video!)
