Hi All, Not seeking any medical advice, am just curious to know how many of you might also be dealing with HTN. I have noticed in the last few years (from the start of nursing school) my blood...
A bit of a silly question, but where do you keep your trauma shears? The pockets in my scrub tops are typically so full that I can't put anything else in there. Most of the scrub pants I own only have...
Yes, and thank you. For the interest of not flooding this thread with the same idea I've been trying to reiterate, I won't be responding to posts with those same assumptions anymore. Although yes,...
I had a classmate who's mom (55 yo) decided to go back to school to become a nurse once all her kids graduated from college. A nurse at the hospital I precepted at said she precepted a nursing student...

Like another poster said, I do believe everyone deserves a baseline amount of respect. Thick skin or not, I don't think it ever helps anyone when someone shakes their head and roll their eyes at you...
The preceptor issue is definitely something I am working on with management. There's someone I want to work with who is amazing; we just have to work out scheduling conflicts. As the rest of you have...
I'm not saying it's not possible, but finding a nursing job in SF while also factoring in the cost of living will be difficult. Like another poster said, a 1-br in SF runs around $4k/month. A 1-br...
