    BREAKS?????? You've gotta be kidding!

    springchick1 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    We get our breaks. Sometimes it's 30 minutes after shift starts and sometimes lunch is 30 minutes before shift ends but we get our breaks. We have a great staff who looks out for each and we make sure...

    Any study tips and advice for nursing school?

    springchick1 replied to brooks222's topic in General Students

    Study groups aren't for everyone, and everyone here will have an opinion on them but it's what helped me get through school. It was me and two other girls and we kept it small like that. We did the...

    Hostile work environment - Violent Doctor

    springchick1 replied to Summer70's topic in General Nursing

    I have been blessed with a great manager and director. There are only a handful of surgeons where I work that are hard to deal with and can be complete you-know-what's and everyone knows it. Typically...

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    springchick1 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I knew you weren't referring to the clinical instructor. OP came here asking for advice and opinions. OP wasn't prepared, deserved the warnings, and was told this by the majority of posters. That...

    How many days do you work in a row?

    springchick1 replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    This is my schedule as well and I love it. I bet it is nice to work 5 on/5 off although I think I'd get bored with that after a

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    springchick1 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    There is a difference in being nervous and not knowing what you are doing. The OP didn't know what she was doing. If she had questions, she should have asked questions before she went into the room...

    Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    springchick1 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    This exactly! Some managers/HRs will look at this and think that you didn't make if off of orientation at two different jobs and not hire you because of that. You don't want to run that

    Simple Nursing/Med-Surg help

    springchick1 replied to morgansrose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did this a lot when I was in school. If there was something that just didn't make sense, I would go to the book. And pick one way to study. It sounds like you were trying multiple different things...

    New Grad, No Job, Need Car?

    springchick1 replied to kiwi111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unfortunately, it doesn't count for anything. Your best bet is to learn to drive while looking for a job. You need to find a job while you still qualify for a new grad residency program. If you have a...

    1/30 This week I learned: you suck, EMTALA.

    springchick1 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that since I share my opinion on an Internet forum and people don't like it, that clearly I have no compassion and am terrible with my patients. Some people are so much easier to precept...

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    springchick1 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    You should read the thread. She states twice that she didn't know how to give the medication. There is a difference on second guessing yourself and not knowing how to do something. This was the third...

    Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    springchick1 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Your opinion is just as important as Old Smiling's opinion. Just because you don't like it or agree with it doesn't mean this person is nasty to their patient. Grow up a little

    OP, what it boils down to is finding a job that fits for you but you may have a hard time doing it. Managers will look at your resume and we you've had already had two nursing jobs in the past year...

    RN Requirement Changes

    springchick1 replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students

    They may have combined some of the classes. Requirements are set by the BoN and the schools have to meet those requirements. You won't be cheated. And having all those classes out of the way could...

    NCLEX is hard!

    springchick1 replied to CoachChris's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Take a deep breath and don't panic. I think a lot of people feel this way when they finish. I bawled my eyes out in the car on the way home after I tested. I passed first time. 85% of testers pass the...
