  1. "I'm an addict...not psychotic." Aren't they both mental health issues?

    pinkiepieRN replied to NurseSheGirl's topic in Addictions

    I think that these substance abuse patients could probably use a bit of education (and the benefit of the doubt for the first time that they say "oh I'm not a psych patient"). It's true that most...

  2. Premature Clinicals Question??

    pinkiepieRN replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The clinicals would be the 9 hour blocks of time you're referencing. The 2 hour part would be the corresponding lecture. Your program should have an outline of what you'll be taking each semester....

  3. Stale new grad interviewing for weekend option

    pinkiepieRN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but here it goes anyway. I have an interview on Monday for a weekend option RN position. I only have experience as a psych nurse straight out of nursing school...

  4. Is 8 months too soon to leave a job?

    pinkiepieRN replied to C-lion's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is your unhappiness something that can be fixed on your current unit? Is it the staffing ratios or the patient population...or is it your

  5. Help with job offers

    pinkiepieRN replied to dreylvn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd go ahead and interview with Kaiser but if it's a tech position versus a nursing position, I'd chose the nursing position because that's what I went to school for and I'd like to use my degree to...

  6. Working weekend option (2-16's)

    pinkiepieRN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's less than 10 minutes each way. The recruiter said that the position was "flexible", so 3-12's might actually be an option too. I'll have to ask when I interview on Monday.

  7. Reviewing content

    pinkiepieRN replied to Charsofman's topic in General Nursing

    What's your specialty? Are you looking to brush up on specific content material or do you feel like you're just rusty on

  8. Working weekend option (2-16's)

    pinkiepieRN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh that's a very good point to mention! I'm pretty sure that I could float to other floors but I definitely need to make certain that I can and get appropriately cross-trained.

  9. completed probation before judgment for DUI - now what?

    pinkiepieRN posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi. I was arrested for a DUI last March due to Klonopin misuse. They drew a blood test and obviously, I tested positive for benzos. I failed the sobriety test. I had my driver's license revoked....

  10. Bouncing back after being unemployed

    pinkiepieRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi! I'm not sure if this would be better posted on the Nursing Career Advice forum, but I'm trying to reach a wide audience so I'm putting this here for now. I've been unemployed since July 2012 due...

  11. Insurance coverage

    pinkiepieRN posted a topic in Travel

    The travel company I'm working with (and every other one I've looked at) offers two different types of insurance: the cheaper Open Access Plus In-Network (OAPIN) - Exclusive provider with a $1000...

  12. Psych drugs cheat sheet

    pinkiepieRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi. I'm getting back into psych after some time off. I was wondering if anyone out there has a cheat sheet for medications, like with exemplars of each drug class, side effects, risks, etc.

    pinkiepieRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi. I've been out of work since July 2012. I've had medical problems that have interfered with me working as an RN since then and even though I've been looking for work (hospitals, home health,...

    DISREGARD! I just got a job offer for a travel RN position in my

  15. Working in retail/food service/minimum wage

    pinkiepieRN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks. Yeah, I know I'm over-qualified, but it's something I'm being pressured into doing. It's so discouraging because I know I can definitely do my job properly if I were re-hired as an RN and...
