    Are handguns allowed at work?

    rubato replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Again, it is okay for me to not want guns in my house. I understand that people walk around with them. I don't like this, but am unable to change things. The only place I have control of is my home....

    Schools in Kansas City

    rubato replied to Amber27's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion would be to steer clear of NAU. My hospital doesn't hire their graduates. I don't know about the others. I went to JCCC. Fantastic program, but hard to get

    Are handguns allowed at work?

    rubato replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Even I understand that police officers need to carry weapons. However, they have been trained to the highest degree. My brother is a police chief, and the training they get vs. what we get is a little...

    Difficulty of Courses

    rubato replied to smocky123's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is possible to have a part time job. I worked a part time job, took extra classes outside of the program's required ones (sometimes 6 extra credit hours per semester), and have a husband and...

    Do you wear jewelry to work?

    rubato replied to nurse_jess's topic in General Nursing

    Wedding ring, watch, diamond stud earrings. These three items (4 I guess since I have 2 ears) never leave

    Are handguns allowed at work?

    rubato replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This conversation is scaring the **** out of me. I know my hospital has the signs. I had no idea that people that carry concealed bring guns in anyway. Jeez! The only thing I have control over is my...

    "Nursing Shortage"

    rubato replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    The media is 100% profit driven. Do not begin to think that the news you see is in your best interest. Just look at the Ebola "crisis" that is going on right now. 3 cases in 316,000,000 people and the...

    What's your go to outfit after work?

    rubato replied to nurse_jess's topic in General Nursing

    All of you naked and underwear free people are the reason I don't buy used furniture! Just sayin'. I stay in my scrubs (unless it was a messy day) until bedtime. I see no point in another

    Are there any nurses happy to be a nurse?

    I love my job! True, I'm only 5 months into being a nurse, but my unit, coworkers and most patients are

    Should I quit?

    I'm sorry you had to make such a tough decision, but it is probably the right one for you. Good luck with whatever you

    What is that stench??

    rubato replied to JessyHsn's topic in General Students

    You really will get used to it. When I started clinicals, I had never been a CNA before, so everything was very new to me. The smells were awful. Now that I'm a nurse, they are old hat, and I barely...

    Mothers: How hard was nursing school with kids?

    rubato replied to christina94's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The people in my class with small children seemed to really struggle. Between sick kids, child care issues, husbands having to travel for work or working long hours, and the fact that as moms we still...

    itt tech scam?

    rubato replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The hospital I work at will not hire ITT tech grads. HR told me all about the for-profit schools and how they go ahead and tell those grads when they call that they are unacceptable applicants. Just...

    New grad nurse looking for some guidance

    rubato replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, you shouldn't have gone to the interview. It's not what you want to be doing, and you like the job you have now. Don't fix what's not

    Should I wear this to the next staff meeting?

    rubato replied to Guttercat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You could probably get away with it, because most people won't get it. But, your job may frown upon it. My husband had a bumper sticker made once that said "Back off. I'm a postal worker." The post...

    How did you get your job?

    rubato replied to scamper22's topic in General Nursing

    I got hired as a CNA in a hospital with no experience because I was a nursing student (somehow, that gave me a leg up). Then, because I'd been a CNA, the hospital hired me before graduation as a...

    Unsure nursing is for me

    rubato replied to newgrad1988's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess the thing I have going for me is that I'm older. I graduated at the age of 44. Those extra years have helped me to realize that I can't do everything perfectly, no matter what. My preceptors...

    why do nurses gossip and belittle eachother?

    rubato replied to iscreambiebah's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think I'd take very kindly to someone yelling "Shut the **** up" to me, no matter what I was talking about to someone else. If you don't like gossip, don't participate in it. You can't force...

    Unsure nursing is for me

    Normal feelings. I am 4 months into my first nursing job and rarely go home without thinking I probably missed something. Did I? Probably not. But there is a ton of self doubt at

    Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    rubato replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    New grad hired onto days here. There are lots of night people on my unit that want days, but the powers-that-be don't feel comfortable with all the new grads on nights. What a horrid situation that...
