    Eating Their Young

    vanilla bean replied to futurelnd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Work stress: where do you find support?

    vanilla bean replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is my main source of support. I think what he does that's "nice" for me is to listen to me vent, yet again, about school/work/friends/family/you-name-it without so much as a sigh or eye...

    Looking for a part-time job while applying to RN Program? Good idea or bad idea?

    vanilla bean replied to forevermn's topic in General Students

    I say good idea. First, you don't have any guarantee if/when you'll start nursing school. Second, having had a job will help prepare you for future employment even in seemingly unrelated fields....

    Called a code for a seizing patient

    vanilla bean replied to thesimplenurse's topic in General Nursing

    What type of facility is this? In my facility (acute care hospital), we don't call a code for seizures. Do you have a Rapid Response Team? They may be needed in certain situations when a patient is...

    EKG Technician

    vanilla bean replied to faithfl's topic in General Nursing

    From my understanding, it is an entry level job that can be learned with on-the-job training so salary would reflect that. I can't imagine there would be much advancement available without furthering...

    Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    vanilla bean replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would still consider it a gimmick even if marketed as described here because, well, it still is a gimmick. A "coffee company platform that is community-oriented and supportive of the nursing field...

    vanilla bean replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

    I don't buy or make individual gifts for my team; I get a group gift that I can leave in the break room. My go-to gifts are to either make christmas/holiday/winter themed cookies or to buy something...

    If becoming a nurse is your goal, then you'll put in the time and effort to achieve your goal. If you want an easier time as a student, then you'll choose a major that doesn't challenge you in the...
