  1. My scrub pants are killing me!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    You guys have made some great recommendations! I am happy to say the Gold Bond Friction Defense WORKS! I apply it liberally to the irritated areas on each thigh once after getting out of the shower...

  2. Trying to decide if UW is worth it! (Versus SPU or SU.)

    Elizabeth Renee replied to billionsandbillions's topic in Washington Nursing

  3. Why do I even bother anymore?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to SionainnRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I totally understand your frustrations. Someone on my FB works in the ED and posts photos occassionally of herself in the hospital and it annoys me. Two come to mind. One was of her and another nurse...

  4. Trying to decide if UW is worth it! (Versus SPU or SU.)

    Elizabeth Renee replied to billionsandbillions's topic in Washington Nursing

    Red Cross. :) Just be prepared that the process is a little lengthy. Not too bad, but you have to sit through Madigan's orientation, their HIPAA course and take a test on it and pass, get all your...

  5. Refusing food offered by patients

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Fortunately I am Celiac so when this situation will arise in my future I can explain about my gluten intolerance and it be an honest answer. Of course when family members learn this, then come back...

  6. Taking away chairs from nursing station

    Elizabeth Renee replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not exactly on topic, but oh my, I honestly didn't think anything of it when I posted my photo as my avatar! Oh dear. I will change mine too the next time I'm on my computer. I appreciate you pointing...

  8. 1 year old RN seeking advise for obtaining a job.

    Elizabeth Renee replied to SENSUALBLISSINFL's topic in Nursing Career

    I could be totally off base, and I hate to say it, but I really do think that it's ageism. You sound like a wonderful applicant, which makes it even more unfortunate that I suspect that that is...

  10. My scrub pants are killing me!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    That's what I was thinking too. :/ I hope this stuff works well! It was a little hard to find. It actually wasn't sold at Rite Aid, but I found it at Albertsons (grocery store) where she told me she...

  11. Trying to decide if UW is worth it! (Versus SPU or SU.)

    Elizabeth Renee replied to billionsandbillions's topic in Washington Nursing

    What I did to apply to UW (ironically I ended up not applying but that's a whole other story) was volunteer as a CNA on a med-surg unit at Madigan on post for 12 hrs on Saturdays and 12 hrs on...

  12. hours per day

    Elizabeth Renee replied to schoolforever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first week comes to an end tomorrow. I'm in that stage where I'm coming home to read, eat, and sleep. :/ I'm trying to sort out the best way to study that doesn't require as much time so I'm not...

  13. My scrub pants are killing me!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Thank you everyone for all the advice. :) It's greatly appreciated! I have two pairs of knee-length legging/yoga pants, so until I get some shorts I think these will work. I went to Rite Aid and asked...

  14. My scrub pants are killing me!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Yes, both thighs, although the right thigh gets twice as irritated as the left. The irritated skin is red, hurts and feels dry/scaley to the touch. I thought it could have been the fabric as well,...

  15. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee posted a topic in General Students

    This is kind of long, but somewhat-kinda entertaining. I start my first quarter of nursing school on Monday. The last thing I needed to check off my list of school to-do's was to buy scrubs from the...

  16. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Yep. I read enough posts on this forum to know all this, lol. I don't have unrealistic expectations. Thanks for your input. This program's last graduates had a 95% pass rate on the NCLEX on first...

  17. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be! Our instructor this quarter is great, really loves teaching. We had an icebreaker project due the first day where you make a poster with words/images...

  18. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Update: Wrote an e-mail to the bookstore manager. She got back to me very timely. She was as appalled at their behavior as I was. She held a meeting with the whole staff this morning over it,...

  19. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I mean no disrespect, but I can't wait to prove you and the others with the same sentiments all wrong. :) I'm gonna be awesome-sauce and kick this program's

  20. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I think the factor that contributed to me taking it more personal than usual is that it wasn't just any retail store. It wasn't Barnes and Noble or Borders. It was my brand new campus' book store....

  21. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Well anyway, I'd really like to thank the majority of you who saw this post at face value for what it was. I appreciate those of you being respectful of my vent and for not turning it into something...

  22. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Except this didn't happen during nursing school. It has nothing to do with nursing school. Didn't even happen in a clinical setting or in the classroom. Not even a comparable situation. I was...

  23. Completely enraged!!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    Yep, I sure was enraged. And nope, not going to go back on that, either. I stand by my reaction. It enraged me because if I ever treated any customer like that in any retail environment that I had...

  25. Interview Attire

    Elizabeth Renee replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I will say that I knew someone who answered a question like this. She said she always, without fail, wore red of some kind as a power color (suit and shoes would be neutral like black and well fitted,...
