   How many times do you count instruments?

   pixiestudent2 replied to scrubulator's topic in Operating Room

   We have the same policy, we count instruments once... Except we count the instruments used to close again during final counts. Like we make sure the malleables are back, and mosquitos or anything...

   pixiestudent2 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   FREE Colleges?! & How it affects Nursing

   pixiestudent2 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing programs will have to be more selective. There are only so many seats and they wouldn't make money to make more. I'm all for free higher education. It's not happening soon like you say it is...

    $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    pixiestudent2 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be making a few bucks more than minimum wage. I'm a RN.. The years in school and debt will not be worth it. I'd probably have more money and sanity working at target for $15 with no student loans...

    Do I want to be an RN forever? Going back to school for something far different.

    pixiestudent2 replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in General Nursing

    If you do switch.. I'd be wary of getting a degree in something like criminal justice or psychology. Very few jobs, without an advanced
