  1. Need some wisdom here

    NeoNurseTX replied to johnpr's topic in General Students

    I say give it a shot in the clinical field first. I was shy at first but by the end of the first week in school, that was gone. You HAVE to be social to advocate for your patients and talk to them....

  2. Coming from a new RN, don't rush through school.

  4. Signed Contract as a new nurse

    NeoNurseTX replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I signed a 2 year contract and they nullfied them all and DID NOT TELL US. One person in my intern group told me she did not have to sign a contract so I emailed HR asking about it and they said they...

  5. Only tobacco free employeess??

    NeoNurseTX posted a topic in General Nursing

    What are your opinions on hospitals refusing to hire people that use tobacco (either chewing or smoking)? Do you know of any that have this policy? Our medical center has no smoking in or out allowed...

  7. Only tobacco free employeess??

    NeoNurseTX replied to NeoNurseTX's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not talking about smelling like it. We already have a policy on smelling neutral and using deodorant. If someone doesn't smoke, they can still smell like smoke if they live with a smoker. If they...

  8. Only tobacco free employeess??

    NeoNurseTX replied to NeoNurseTX's topic in General Nursing

  9. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    NeoNurseTX replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work 24 hours a week and I think I make GREAT money for that. I can afford a very nice apartment, a vacation at least every 2 months, and I have a bit of a shopping habit. Plus I save at LEAST a...

  10. Only tobacco free employeess??

    NeoNurseTX replied to NeoNurseTX's topic in General Nursing

    What scares me is that I've heard NO ONE complain. And apparently it's completely legal where I live. I love my job and don't want to be a squeaky wheel because the squeaky wheel gets fired, but this...

  11. Only tobacco free employeess??

    NeoNurseTX replied to NeoNurseTX's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you guys. What's next, can't drink wine?? It's all employees. I agree that we shouldn't use it at work but what people do legally outside of work is no one's business. And this is coming...

  15. Is this the career of an RN?!

    NeoNurseTX replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Yup, welcome to nursing. There is poop, puke, pee, snot, blood, guts. That's the fun in it! (Well, the blood and guts part..). I am in NICU so all my poop is baby sized, but with adults, yes, they...
