  1. skipping graduation/pinning?

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm graduating in 3 more weeks, and the more I think about the graduation and pinning ceremony, I kind of just don't want to go. This is my second time in college, so I've done the graduation thing...

  2. non-emergencies

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    New hospice RN here. I am really starting to wonder about a couple of our office nurses. I've been called out for "emergency" visits this week for: a nosebleed (pt on o2 with dry sinuses- caregiver...

  3. My online shopping reviews - please share yours!

    Fruit Sucker replied to MJB2010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just placed another order at Uniform Advantage, and they gave me free shipping. Maybe it has to be over $100 for the free shipping? This is my second time buying their Butter Soft Scrubs. The first...

  4. Interview a Nurse (school project)

    Fruit Sucker replied to sjarmistead's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Perhaps because I don't fit the qualifications she

  5. Interview a Nurse (school project)

    Fruit Sucker replied to sjarmistead's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How are you sure what the instructor wanted? You aren't. I've had professors give out assignments that didn't require an in-person interview. And the nature of these interviews is such that it would...

  6. Interview a Nurse (school project)

    Fruit Sucker replied to sjarmistead's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    People on AN are very reluctant to help students with these type of assignments. It's really a

  7. pregnancy/diabetes nurse interview

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks guys. But the interview is set up in a way that it is approved to do through email. Again, if anyone is interested, please reach

  8. pregnancy/diabetes nurse interview

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi. I would greatly appreciate it if I could interview a maternity nurse, or any nurse, about her/his experiences with patients who are pregnant with diabetes. This is for a school assignment. I would...

  9. new grad maybe screwed

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    After graduating, I was hired onto a specialty unit where I worked for 4 months. During the 4 months I worked there, I started to have a medical problem that interfered with work. I had two syncopal...

  10. new grad maybe screwed

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. If I can squeak by financially until February, I'll be eligible for rehire at the hospital. It's not assured that they'll give me a position though. What is a potential employer allowed...

  11. Are most new grad RN preceptors like this on the first day?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in General Nursing

    He sounds young. Nice how he assumed because you're female that you'd be crying about some trivial thing. I had a preceptor like that- she would try to set me up to not get meds done as fast as she...

  12. Upstate Jobs

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Anyone know of places upstate that are hiring new grads? I'm currently in NYC and looking to get out of this crazy area. I'm not originally from New York and not familiar with any of the cities...

  13. days off- a rant

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    My employer constantly calls me in on my days off, and it's making me want to lose it. I don't mean that they just call and say "can you come in" and I have to say no. I mean, they keep on calling and...

  14. not so NETY

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    Four months into my first job as a new nurse. I found the ubiquitous NETY situation to be very different from what many have described. The experienced nurses on my unit are awesome. They know things,...

  15. days off- a rant

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    This is an ongoing battle. We had five nurses quit because of this a couple of months ago. Management does not care about us. It's all we can do to get a float when our census goes up. They will not...

  16. days off- a rant

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    Well, unfortunately this is what has happened. The management threw a couple of temper tantrums at me last week when I decided to put a stop to this. Management came up to the floor to harass me while...

  17. not so NETY

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I put "not so NETY" as the

  18. doctor's office gripe

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I hope this is in the right place. I need to rant about the decline of professionalism in doctor's offices. I went in for my regular appointment the other day, and my old doctor isn't there anymore....

  19. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a social media account, and on the account I only add people I know personally. However, I have encountered a problem anyway- there was a discussion about gay rights, and I said something...

  20. St. Joe's Hospital Syracuse

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I'm in the process of applying to St. Joseph's and wondering if anyone works there or has applied there and can tell me about the interview/hiring process. Also, can you guys give me some guidance...

  21. should I call in or not?

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse and am orienting on an oncology unit. The patients on the unit are extremely ill and many are on neutropenic precautions. I caught a bug and have a fever, and it's obvious if you hear...

  22. should I call in or not?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    It's true, I feel bad even though I'm an orientee and they can all do fine without me (and probably have less work without me, actually). Thanks, I will get better soon and will avoid giving the...

  23. should I call in or not?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    I know, you are right. I guess I just wanted to hear other people say it. I just called my employer and they said not to come in. I guess I was afraid they would prioritize my working over the safety...

  24. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    Fruit Sucker replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    First name Larvae. A baby boy named Manly. I went to school with a girl named Latrina and a girl named LaQuinta, and worked with a man named Chablis. Went to college with a girl named Delia who...

  25. social media problem

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, the thing is that I do only have people I know personally on social media, and all those people know I'm a nurse. I don't have my place of employment listed on there, but it wouldn't take much...
