    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    I have a whale boned corset, and that thing is actually useful. A silly cap or pin, not so much. Of course if the pins were made by Cartier I might change my

    Not sure if I am making the right decision?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to mybabies2000's topic in Nursing Career

    I think every woman must have a way to support herself and her family independently. If you have this security in place already, I wouldn't bother with renewing your nursing license at this

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand the big deal here. Half the staff probably has it. Half the people at the market, and the kid scooping my popcorn while wiping his nose at the movies. Why does everyone freak out...

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    Meh. My school didn't do it in 1986. I guess we were ahead of our time! It seems silly to me and i wouldn't have gone. However, I did go to my hooding, but that seems a little more

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to RockinChick66's topic in General Nursing

    I do all my charting while the patient is in the exam room. I know they don't like it, but that is the way it is. It has to be done during the patient visit, or at the end of the day. I'm not...

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've been in Nursing for 25 years, and I can say without a doubt I have never falsified a patient record. I am not super nurse, but I am an ethical one. If I didn't do something, or did it late, I...
