    Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    OrganizedChaos replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    But you realize that wearing a ring has a direct correlation to work. If you are fine with bring germs home, potentially scraping a patient or losing the gem then wear it at work. I know you said you...

    Nursing Shortage: Yea or Nay?

    OrganizedChaos replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    Shortage for new grads? No. Not in the metro areas. But if the new grads move to small towns or states like ND where no one wants to live, then yes they can get a job fast out of nursing school....

    Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    OrganizedChaos replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    Just take into consideration that you will have germs on your ring often, you might lose the stone & you might rip through your glove & scratch a patient. So if you have an elderly patient you...

    Anatomy with Stats, or Anatomy with Chem?

    OrganizedChaos replied to YassQueen's topic in General Students

    If you're like me & not so good with math I would take stats by itself. I could handle A&P & chem together but I stats I can't

    Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    OrganizedChaos replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    When I go to clinicals & start working again I don't plan on wearing a band or anything. Bacteria like to harbor in/on/around it & if I get a job with the BOP the less the inmates know about...
