  5. Are Most Workplaces Like This to Newcomers?

    SillyLilly replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    I dont get that. Nursing aside, when I have worked at other jobs, I have pretty much welcomed new hires. Not necessarily with open arms, but smile at them, treat them decently, talk to them, show...

    SillyLilly replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SillyLilly replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

  10. How early do you need to come to the clinicals?

    SillyLilly replied to mmr2's topic in General Students

    In my clinicals, it varied. For the most part, we got there just a few minutes before because we didnt have much else to do any earlier. But, we had one instructor for whom it was necessary to get to...

    SillyLilly replied to LanaBanana's topic in Cardiac

    Last week I saw the importance of needing a monitor tech, and when it makes sense to not have one. I interviewed at 2 tele units. 1 was very busy and had 'lots of sick pts'--the nurse manager claimed...

  17. Does size matter?

    SillyLilly replied to wfperseus's topic in First Year After Licensure
