  1. Free 6-Month Platinum Membership to Previous Active Pro Members

    DowntheRiver replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    The price hike from the previous $24 Pro membership is a little steep. As someone who has an ad blocker, the inclusion of ad blocking does not appeal to me for over double the previous price. Just my...

  3. Vaccination for clinical

    DowntheRiver replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Obviously if you've had vaccines or the disease as a child there is a high chance that titers will still show immunity. So there's that route. As a former vaccine nurse, I'm really curious about your...

  6. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    DowntheRiver replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    How about Urgent Care? I worked Urgent Care for 2 years and there was sitting to chart. I'd triage, sit, help with procedures, sit, draw blood or start an IV, sit. On the occasional crazy day (like...

  10. "ASKholes"

    DowntheRiver replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Humor

    My mom was 40 and my dad was 46 when they had me, so my parents really were old school. I wasn't allowed to watch TV other than weekends and even then it was really Saturday morning 1 hour and...

  11. "ASKholes"

    DowntheRiver replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Humor

    I actually prefer to be called an Elder Millenial since I am in my early 30's. I hate being lumped into that group since I don't identify with these 20-somethings. Millenial is 1983-2000 and I was...

    DowntheRiver replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! This was me two years ago and now I'm a pro. You could probably actually find my thread from two years ago as it had plenty of good tips. I still miss but everybody does. I'm not the best on my...

  15. Bad Interview - Should I withdraw?

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I was offered the position today. I asked the recruiter, who I worked with in the past and have a good relationship, if I could give it a day to think over and he said that's fine. Since it is...

  16. Senior Practicum in Oncology Unit

    DowntheRiver replied to Wendy_z's topic in General Students

    There is a lot to learn and do on a Medical Oncology floor! At my facility, students are not allowed to hang chemo or access ports but they do everything else student nurses do. Lots of assessments,...

    DowntheRiver replied to dhawk01's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I graduated from UTA's RN to BSN program but it took me two years; HOWEVER, it is quite possible to complete the program in 10 months. It depends on what courses you need. It took me two years because...

  22. Bad Interview - Should I withdraw?

    DowntheRiver replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, this was actually Oncology, and for a specialty clinic position. I currently already work in Oncology, just a more procedural clinic. We are allowed to shadow but I believe it...
