So recently the hospital I work at has started allowing speciality areas to wear custom t shirts with a logo specific to their department. We have to come up with our own designs and then they have to approve. I work at a very conservative, religious...

Total Compression Solutions!! I wore Nabee socks until I bought a pair of the TCS during a flash sale they had and I'm so glad I did! They're a little pricey, but totally worth it! Look them up on Facebook, and thank me later 😄

I am curious if any facilities utilize this position, a RN strictly responsible for admitting and discharging patients in the hospital setting. Working on a fast paced MS floor with a high turn around, it seems this position would be beneficial for m...

I can't wait to read the next chapter!!

ULL 😉

I'll second that! I'm starting in Jan as well. Sadly, I've got to take a few more prerequisites than I anticipated 😞 But starting with the nursing courses nonetheless 😃

Bump bump! I'd like to know as well!!

Just wondering if any fellow nurses come across documentation from CNAs on vital signs (not WNL) stating/annotated "notified xxx, RN," and they never actually informed you. How do you handle this? It seems as though my NM feels (has previously stated...

So you took American Lit through there, any other courses?

I'd personally like to know their medical hx, pertinent surgical hx, neuro status, activity level, are they a min/max assist..Any consults needed/pending. Are there any drains, foleys, dressing changes, wound care... I wouldn't take it personal, but ...

Hahaha! 1mrsbs are you needing to take any core classes? Do you have your schedule yet??

Admissions called this afternoon, all transcripts are in! Still waiting on the final review!!

Thanks everyone! I can see where this would need to be very structured, as stated. I'm just trying to see if there is possibly a better way at keeping pts and staff happy. With patient satisfaction taking a front seat to almost everything in mgmt/adm...

Sanita fits better for me. I'm a 9 1/2-10 and I wear a 41. Dansko 41 was way too big!!

I hope so!! Still waiting on transcript review...

http://nabeesocks.com/collections/womens These socks are awesome! When I first ordered mine about a year ago, they didn't have an XL in women's, so I bought a L. The website says if you're b/t sizes then order the smaller size. I wear a 9 1/2 -10 and...

I remember reading online about Dansko and Sanita originally being under the same manufacturer but when they split Dansko started having their shoes manufactured in China. Whereas Sanita remained manufactured in Europe. There is definitely a huge dif...

I had the same issue with my danskos fitting too tight across the top, my last 2 toes would be numb towards the end of shift and I was also in between 2 sizes. ( 9 1/2- 10 US) I finally found a perfect fit with Sanitas and I love them. I've been wear...

One would think this is such a simple task, but for some reason our floor struggles with this as well. After I assess my pt I check in the BR to see if there is a hat, if not I grab one and put it under the seat. Then I ask the pt/family to please no...

Have you applied at a hospital? If you can't get in working on a Tele floor, then try MedSurg just to get started. Once you're in you can always transfer to another department There's absolutely nothing wrong with starting out low and working your w...

Try your best to stick it out, or at least work your notice out according to the facility's policy. Underneath this overwhelming emotional state of mind you are in, you must remain professional, respect yourself and represent yourself accordingly. I'...

Any updates? How did this course end overall?

Have you taken a course through this program yet?

University of Louisiana at Lafayette! I have applied and currently awaiting transcript review. I've researched a lot and have heard great things about this program, which is completely online. The only prerequisites I need, I'm almost positive will ...

Bumping for updates...anyone
