  3. phone calls no outsider would believe

    nicuRN2007 replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    :roll I wouldn't believe this if I hadn't been working in the medical field. I'm not in the emergancy department, and this wasn't a phone call, but it proves that people really can be that clueless....

  7. Can this contract possibly be legal?

    nicuRN2007 replied to paigeRN1962's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I was going to say that you should just refuse to sign the contract since no mention of this was made prior to your being hired; so, therefore, how could you be fired for it? But I asked my...

  8. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    nicuRN2007 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    You may be on to something. She may be one of those people who doesn't believe in creating waste (like those who won't use disposable diapers on babies) and hasn't found an alternative for herself....

  10. LPN or RN?

    nicuRN2007 replied to heartstart's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to post this. So, because you have one more year of schooling than I will have with my associate degree, you will automatically have the necessary skills...

  11. Fail math exam and we are out!!!! Help!!!

    nicuRN2007 replied to ExTechie's topic in General Students

    We have to do the same thing. We have a dosage and solutions test every semester, and we have to get at least a 90% on it. We aren't taught the stuff in school...basically, they give us a worksheet...

  13. Medical Assistant in Hospital??

    nicuRN2007 replied to tx2007's topic in California Nursing

  14. Neonatologists vs. Neonatal Nurses

    nicuRN2007 replied to iluvhorses's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    IMHO, being a neonatal nurse would be much more fun than being a neonatologist. Of course, I'm neither...but I am a nurse extern in the NICU, so I see the roles of both. But if you have the desire...

  15. I got an Externship in the NICU!

    nicuRN2007 replied to prinzessdy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Aww, I'm sorry you didn't get an externship in the NICU. At least you get to work w/babies though, all babies are good patients! Perhaps you will get to move to the NICU at some point.

  17. I got an Externship in the NICU!

    nicuRN2007 replied to prinzessdy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am an extern in a NICU also. I love it. I have decided that there is nowhere I would rather work than the NICU. Good luck! You will find that there are so many babies that don't have proper...

  18. Please take pity and help me!

    nicuRN2007 replied to Atlanta Kellie's topic in General Nursing

    OMG I hate interviews. I've never had a panel interview, but I just imagine a line of interviewers sitting on one side of a table, and me at a little table across the room answering their questions....

  19. Studying for the NET using the Kaplan Guide

    nicuRN2007 replied to DAMomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The NET was very easy. I used the little book that is produced by the creators of the NET test - I think it's only like 45 pages - and scored in the 98th percentile. I just read through it and took...

  22. Labcoat?

    nicuRN2007 replied to diagnose's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are right. By saying I don't wear one because I don't want people to think I'm trying to look like a doctor, I don't mean to imply that those who do wear them are trying to look like a...

  23. Labcoat?

    nicuRN2007 replied to diagnose's topic in General Nursing

    Good question. I'm in nursing school, but I work as a nurse extern also. I want to wear a labcoat because I'm always cold, and I think they look neater than the scrub jackets. I don't, however,...
