    Are hair accessories unprofessional?

    Pangea Reunited replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My first thought is ...sounds like something that would appeal to a 12 year old or a bride on her wedding day. I'd have to see it, I guess. It might be OK. In any case, if it's not against the dress...

    ADN online?

    Pangea Reunited replied to lpnmommy86's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've never heard of an ADN program online. There are lots of ADN to BSN programs,

    Nurses not taking breaks

    Pangea Reunited replied to scuffles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    At my first med/surg job, as a new graduate, I had 8 patients (and an LVN with 8 patients assigned to me, as well). The charge nurses were also assigned 8 patients and had very little time to help...

    Do you always get out of work on time?

    Pangea Reunited replied to sandiamts's topic in General Nursing

    I'm out on time unless there's a last minute "event". It could be an admission, a critically low blood sugar, a fall, etc. Even then, my co-workers and I are good about switching into team mode and...

    Scrubs: Are Colorful Ones Unprofessional?

    Pangea Reunited replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I like simple prints for scrub tops. I wouldn't wear anything with a cartoon character or a theme unless I worked with

    Do you think my Grades are Good Enough for Nursing School?

    Pangea Reunited replied to bryantyler_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your grades may be competitive for some programs, but not for others. My program considered the science prerequisites, only ...so neither one of the GPAs you've provided. I got in with a 3.7 ...but...

    Northern California Nurses - Is it better to get a BS or an AS?

    Type 1 diabetes

    Pangea Reunited replied to Itscat's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! This is a condition that needs to be well-managed. Do not take advice from strangers on the internet. People are not always who they claim to be, and that applies to some "nurses" on this

    SoCal Nurses...

    Pangea Reunited replied to Cactus Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm under the impression that it's usually a part of orientation when you start a new job. I'm not sure that I'd pay to take it when someone else is willing to pay for the class and my time spent in...

    Nursing Program

    Pangea Reunited replied to tremainerossyion's topic in General Nursing

    Did they have the same requirement(s) last year? I would think a new school (especially) would be concerned about their graduation and NCLEX pass rates. If the requirements are new, that may be why....

    Reasons to lose nursing license?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Srobbins2310's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of BON sites have disciplinary records online that you can browse through. From what I've seen, they usually involve drug use and/or diversion. The only personal story I know of involves a DUI....

    Nurses Day Gifts

    Pangea Reunited replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I like the gift card idea, but I would buy a bunch of them and let each person pick the one they

    Would love some input in rolling out bedside report

    Pangea Reunited replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

    I just had a baby. The legitimate and frequent interruptions were bad enough. I don't think I would have enjoyed report in my room on top of everything

    Travel RN, fired from first assignment?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Travelrn92's topic in Travel

    Does that mean that the other half were true? I've never worked as a travel nurse, but I'm curious what reasons they gave you. I hope you're able to find something else

    Tardiness

    Pangea Reunited replied to Vtachy1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I also can't recall anyone being late for clinicals. That would be brave. I've seen people I work with written up and even fired for it, though. Actually showing up is a fundamental part of any job....

    Dexterity Issues/Issues with Learning Skills

    Pangea Reunited replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I would leave those things to the student's instructor or career counselor, possibly with some input from the student's health care provider. I can't think of any good reason why I would involve...

    Pangea Reunited replied to WonderingWhichWay's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what job boards you're looking at, but many are not reliable. You'll see that when you actually start attempting to apply for those jobs. Even listings on a hospital's site are often...
