    Julius Seizure replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    Julius Seizure replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What number is it that this guy said you could put as his contact info for a reference? Is this just a phone somewhere on the unit, or does he have an office, or what is it? I don't suggest providing...

    Julius Seizure replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to tell you, Davey, but the term "snowflake" has lost all of its useful meaning ever since it was hijacked to be used as a weapon by people who disagree with each other. Ironic, right? As...

    First of all, SNF is not where failed nurses go to die, so get that idea out of your head. If you DO end up working in an SNF, you can gain a lot of skill, knowledge, and experience if you choose...

    How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Julius Seizure replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    I currently feel stifled by how much "stuff" I have, even though objectively it isn't very much compared to other people that I know. But when I was a travel nurse and everything had to fit in my...

    Let go/resign from new grad 6 months in

    Julius Seizure replied to shaza111's topic in General Nursing

    I think even in a case like that, the provider should be putting in their NPO orders, etc. in anticipation of possible surgery. To cover myself, I would ask them to put orders

    Sounds great until you are 3 years from retirement and they announce that they are doing away with pensions. Apparently there is a hospital in town here that offers "free medical care for life" for...
