    What type of Automobiles do you drive as a nurse.

    Super_RN replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    RN, currently working on BSN...Oh shoot, I'm not a male, but here's my answer...2002 Grand Am--60,000 miles on it today! I will probably be driving that baby into the ground. :balloons:

    Any tips for this new grad ICU RN?

    Super_RN replied to Gigglesforall's topic in MICU, SICU

    I have only been a RN for 2 years, but I started out in ICU. The main thing is to ask a question, always ask a question if you are uncertain about something. Ask a question just to verify. Never,...

    stethoscopes, too heavy?

    Super_RN replied to nurseabc123's topic in General Nursing

    I had the Littmann Lightweight through nursing school and got the Littmann Master II after graduation. The weight doesn't bother me, I can hear much better and it is easy to get accustomed to. :)...

    Too Many Crabby Nurses!!

    Super_RN replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    :balloons: Not all of us are like that! I have been a nurse for 2 years and see the same thing a lot too. We don't have a lot of students at our hospital though. Our hospital has the attitude that...

    2 business days??

    Super_RN replied to linkay77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    :Melody: I took mine on July 3, 2003. That was a Thursday...then 4th of July was Friday, then the weekend. I thought I was going to die of stress while waiting. However, I called on Saturday just...

    Is it like this everywhere?

    Super_RN replied to aprilleverett's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Then your administration is not doing their job properly. Far from it. Apparently state is not doing their job either. Makes me

    Do you feel like you have no "down time" on the midnight shift???

    Super_RN replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you, well put. Couldn't have said it better myself. Obviously CapeCodMermaid hasn't had the luxury of short staffing and high

    Is it like this everywhere?

    Super_RN replied to aprilleverett's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I find it hard to believe that if abuse is reported and family members ban these workers from those rooms that nothing is done about it. At the LTF where I used to work, if abuse was even suspected...

    Forced to Orientate to ER

    Super_RN replied to nursesbca's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel, believe me! I have only been a nurse for 2 years, I work in ICU. Howevever, I was forced to orient to ED after about 6 months or so. Our union does nothing to protect us, every...

    Scrubs Shrinkage

    Super_RN replied to Fraggle's topic in General Nursing

    You will find out that all companies size differently. I wear mediums and smalls, depending on the brand. It does suck, but eventually you know what company does what1 :)

    Finished!

    Super_RN replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    The only advice that I have is not to act like you know something if you really don't, or if you are unsure of yourself! Always, always, always ask if you have a question. Trust me, most nurses...

    Tee vs. No Tee

    Super_RN replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    I always wear a fitted shirt under my scrub tops. I don't like my top gapping open for everyone else to see! Plus I work in ICU and it's always relatively more cold here than elsewhere. :balloons:...

    Air in line in Plum Pumps

    Super_RN replied to oldnewnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that when I put a syringe on to backprime, I need to first "break it in". I push and pull the plunger a couple of times before connecting it to the cassette. Usually does the trick...

    Looking for kids scrubs

    I need to talk about my night

    Super_RN replied to babynursewannab's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Alyssa- When something happens to a patient unexpectedly (and all night they have been doing superb!) I think it is harder. With some patients you expect the inevitable, but not with others. My...

    Super_RN replied to malsc1104's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I started my BSN program online about a month ago through Indiana Wesleyan University. I researched a lot of places, but this program was not only the cheapest, but every single one of my credits...

    Freaking Out!!

    Super_RN replied to nivek21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yep, it took me exactly one hour to the minute. A lot of my classmates had been practicing for months and had all of the questions, but didn't pass. They were pretty upset with the fact that I did...

    Freaking Out!!

    Super_RN replied to nivek21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You'll be fine! To be honest, I had the Lippincott's edition and I consistently scored....not very high! However, when I took the NCLEX I thought that the questions I had were easier than the...

    Is OB for me? Is nursing for me? Shy nurse needs help.

    Super_RN replied to Soul's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ~Soul~ I am also normally quiet, but I will and DO stand up for myself when the need be. You picked nursing for a reason, don't let some grouchy old nurse that hates herself push you away from it!...

    Question: Nursing as a career.

    Super_RN replied to Niki79's topic in General Nursing

    It definitely wasn't something that I learned from books. During my first year I was involved in a very nasty car accident. It left me with cerebral bleeding, broken bones, burns on my body, and...
