  1. What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    Honestly danskos aren't that expensive considering you can get 8-10 years out of em. I'm a dansko lover myself. Will be gettin a white pair for clinical, and a pair of birki profi's
  2. Thank you to the ICU nurses

    Wishes of strength to you and your family. I lost my father 2 days ago at the age of 48, also in the ICU. I share your same sentiment of thanks to the nurses and staff. He survived 2.5 days off of life support. No blood, no fluids, no vitals bei...
  3. Energy drink to use for nclex rn thingyyy...

    Coffee, water, sleep.
  4. 2.68 GPA! Please help!!

    Try to retake the classes and replace the grades. Even if you can't replace them, it will look better on your transcript to see that you retried. Also be sure to talk to your prospective schools and let them know you were.going through a rough sp...
  5. UPMC Shadyside - Fall 2012 new student check-in

    Did you apply for the evening weekend program? To my knowledge that's the only one really designed for working people. The full time schedule for all start dates is the same I think, one is just a semester behind the other. I will be working part...

    Did you all get your orientation letter in the mail
  7. UPMC Shadyside - Fall 2012 new student check-in

    Me! I'm starting full time in Sept. I don't work in healthcare so this will be a major life change for me. From fox chapel, but live in the east end. Ideally I'd like to do anesthesia , emergency or ortho when I'm done, but ultimately when I g...
  8. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    The number of people competing to get into a school has zero to do with the graduation rate. The only thing that percentage measures is: # of students that graduate % number of students that attended. If there are 10000 students attending a communi...
  9. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    Um, do you mean specifically the nursingprogram or??? It might just mean that the majority of students transfer elsewhere to finish their degree instead of graduating from that particular school.
  10. Honestly, when I see idiots posting and doing stupid things on facebook, my first response is never "omg that girl is a teacher," or "omg that guy is a nurse". I do think ok the other hand " wow that kid is an idiot"
  11. Misogyny in Nursing

    yup, drama follows drama. man, woman or otherwise.
  12. Facebook is a time sucking spam box. Just delete it and you won't have to be exposed to other people's meaningless idiocy.
  13. Should I include a cover letter?

    Yes, you're interviewing for a different job so why not include a cover letter to outline our goals objectives intentions etc. If the person you're interviewing with couldn't tell you ...from a janitor, treat the interview as if it were any other.
  14. Psych NP vs Derm NP

    I've never had a female dermatologist ever. Not because of choice...just because. Women will go to whoever is going to fix their dermatological problems. If a monkey or a robot had the ultimate beauty fix and was qualified to administer it....w...
  15. Misogyny in Nursing

    Some chicks say they prefer to hang out with guys instead of other girls because there's less drama. I prefer to hang out with myself because there's NO drama and I don't have to wear pants.
  16. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Honestly, Regardless of what health care plan passes where, who what what how, for better or for worse, if it is not 100% to the benefit of health insurance and pharmaceutical companies, they are going to use it as an excuse to cut access to care, ra...
  17. Of course that's how it works. Employers want you to be constantly and continuously employed up till the point that they interview you. My point was that the perceptions that our peers have with regards to finding a career in nursing (and others...
  18. Getting vaccinated for Nursing school?

    This ^ When you realize, in a clinical setting, how easily you might be able to contract certain illnesses because you had not been immune to them via vaccine or otherwise, well.... once you realize that its time to weigh whatever personal beliefs yo...
  19. Yup and while the whole advertisement of jobs may appear to be posturing to collect applications and resumes despite real job openings, every short staffed over worked nurse on their floors will tell you the demand is there, but nobody gets hired. An...
  20. Honestly, considering all the lamenting about short-staffing, the shortage does seem to be real. Theres also a shortage of finances and willingness to hire though, it appears.
  21. Retraining Displaced Workers As Nurses

    Why doesn't the government spend that money (and effort really) to prevent the displacement of American workers, instead of paying for them to learn something else to get displaced from.
  22. Washing those scrubs?

    You know what grosses me out...when All the hospital people about the city, get off of their shift, park their scrub wearin azzes in a chair at the hot new restaurant and start grubbing on nachos and cocktails. CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES. Funny how obvi...
  23. Backpack on wheels..Is this really necessary?

    My thoughts exactly. I've been lucky enough to have parking close.enough to class that I can do it.
  24. Backpack on wheels..Is this really necessary?

    I leave all my crap in the car. Walk and swap between classes.
  25. [quote=SC_RNDude;6709011 "The Institute of Medicine's estimate that lack of insurance leads to 18,000 excess deaths each year is almost certainly incorrect. It is not possible to draw firm causal inferences from the results of observational analyses,...
