    New RN burnt out

    barcode120x replied to jennsrn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The obvious choice is to look elsewhere, but unfortunately you can never know if another facility/position will treat you well. I personally think it's not worth working at place that you dislike...

    100% Online vs. Hybrid Nurse Practitioner Programs

    barcode120x replied to SN2751's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    In particular to the Uni of Cincinnati, I don't think you have to worry about "questionable reputation." It definitely is intimidating to have to search for your own preceptors. I knew my PCP...

    What is YOUR favorite scrub brand?

    barcode120x replied to blueskiesandsunshine.prn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Figs. Expensive AF, but they are smooth, fit nicely, and look make you look like a clean professional! Best part are the joggers! I just bought another 2 pairs ?, but only because it was on sale. I...

    Depressed, unhappy, feeling lost

    barcode120x replied to stacylethani's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I miss the days when I would walk past patient rooms with the TV's blasting insane sports games (football, baseball, bball, etc) and hearing patients cheering and/or cussing. Now, it's all silent,...

    Best men's watch for male nurses

    barcode120x replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Saw the OP and saw my post from 7 years ago, oh how time flies. I'd say get a cheap $10 watch for RN school. Doubt you'll actually need it in the actual field. Stopped using mine within 6 months,...

    What is your "favorite" procedure?

    barcode120x replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Doing ultrasounds IV's. Setting up and cleaning up is a chore, but I just love getting them in 1 shot. If it wasn't for this covid thing, I would be doing PICCS right now! I always dread doing NGs. I...

    What do I do about PRN job during COVID? Quit or be let go?

    barcode120x replied to joansmith1's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I second this. Based on your profile, it says you have 7 years of experience, so I'm going to assume that's for nursing or nursing related. I find it hard to believe in your career of 7 years that you...

    Really good ADN program in SoCal?

    barcode120x replied to Guest1144191's topic in California Nursing

    Just FYI, there's a chance you won't get into your school of choice, or top schools of choice I should say. In this day and age where nursing schools are overwhelmed and impacted, apply anywhere and...

    barcode120x replied to gabe55605's topic in Men in Nursing

    I started work as an RN at 25 y.o.. Didn't have any issues with any family or friends. Then again, I am Filipino and it's expected of me to be a nurse haha. I've had some patients and/or their family...

    I Don't Know What I'm Doing With My Life

    barcode120x replied to Elisabeth-33's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Multiple factors affect one's ability to a job. Big two are prior hospital experience and the most important, networking. It might feel hard to get a job during this COVID crisis because many cities...

    Question about uniforms

    barcode120x replied to MarkMyWords's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Because of the current world situation we're in, more of my coworkers are changing at the hospital. They've added chairs and tables to some of the staff restroom to accommodate. Ideally we probably...

    Does dating get easier as a male nurse in his 30s?

    barcode120x replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Recently swapped to PT nights, 2 nights a week. In FT NP school right now. I workout 4-5x per week (just got my squat rack and a bunch of plates so I can workout during this quarantine!). I still have...

    Seeking career advice

    barcode120x replied to lostandadrift's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say you are trying to "salvage" your situation. It just seems like you're grudgingly finishing up your nursing program and are looking for an easy nursing job to...

    Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    barcode120x replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You do have every right to go on FMLA at this point in time. I wouldn't call you a coward, but I would say you should think about during your part as a nurse in the crisis. With the craziness of the...

    Working while in FNP school, not sure what to do?

    barcode120x replied to ILNurse728's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Part time online meaning your program is about 3 years long? I'd you'd be fine with your current schedule. I'm in an online 2 year program and working full (3 nights a week) time with 1 clinical a...

    NP clinical experience disrupted by COVID-19?

    Will be happening all across the country. Many clinics here including mine in SoCal are suspending students/clinicals for NP. I would imagine this is happening across all healthcare fields. My...

    What study strategies is getting you through Advanced Health Assessment?

    barcode120x replied to strawberryluv's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hard to say because every program tests differently. Unless your instructor has given you info on content to focus more on, I would just say focus on assessments that you are weakest

    Night nurse - noise cancelling headphones to sleep with

    barcode120x replied to rumikodan's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would be worried about breaking the headphones while sleeping unless you don't move much when you sleep. I'd recommend earphones instead. If your not the typical apple person, I recommend the Jabra...

    What's your ESSENTIALS?

    When I was a new grad (acute care, still in acute care, same unit, telemetry), I always brought a clip board and my favorite 4 colored pen. After about 6 months, gave up on the pen. Ending up...

    NP School and Uniforms?

    barcode120x replied to aspiringcnm3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    White coat (half-one) is a given for clinicals. Underneath we were told business casual (makes sense, in general most clinicians wear that), but it depends on your preceptor. Mine allows scrubs...

    New Grad Boyfriend Here To Pick Brains

    barcode120x replied to joeblaque's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I can't say much about North Cali, but I'm located in the Inland Empire. I'm assuming your fiance is looking for a hospital job (as most new grad RN's look for to get their 1 year and get out). As...
