    fetching the doctor's tea

    RNsRWe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Susie, with respect, this still does not explain the situation so that we could agree that yours was quite an unusual circumstance that required the provider to drop everything (tea, toilet, whatever)...

    fetching the doctor's tea

    RNsRWe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't heard of one that DID! Not talking about when the provider is on vacation, and someone else is covering for specified days, but talking about a simple BREAK in the day during which a...

    fetching the doctor's tea

    RNsRWe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand this argument back and forth over a clinic closing for an hour. If a patient is having a crisis that simply cannot possibly wait for one hour, then that patient ought to head to an...

    How do you wash your scrubs?

    RNsRWe replied to TJDHT2's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Cold water wash with anything else ready for a cold water wash. Color-safe bleach to keep colors from fading as much as possible...and never put them in the dryer. Hang to dry. My shoes I leave at...

    Which stethoscope color to choose?

    RNsRWe replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Color is irrelevant unless you are trying to deter theft: a friend of mine has one in safety orange. Probably the least popular color made, but it is so obviously HERS and NO ONE else has one,...

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    RNsRWe replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Last year the pediatricians and other medical practices in my area didn't even HAVE the vaccinations in stock until late, mid- October or so, and had appointments stretching into November. My kids...

    need a new att...?

    RNsRWe replied to _zoubisoubisou_'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Probably a good place to note, for others reading this, that NO ONE should EVER register for an exam through PV without having an ATT in hand. Why? Because if there is any reason you will NOT be...

    I have a MUCH higher barometer for "phenomenal", believe me! Fanciful and fictional....yeah, definitely those!

    Looking into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to andrew4507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Andrew....in the "research" you have done into what each career/job/profession entails....have you met with any people holding these positions? Or just read online info? Much of what you are...

    fetching the doctor's tea

    RNsRWe replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I find it curious that the OP starts threads with stories that are from ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, and always involve something titillating, scandalous. Never anything current. Never anything...

    Oy. You are so

    Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    RNsRWe replied to gibsongirl's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It occurs to me that if someone DID have to point out "this is Sally, she needs some serious Divine help"...then it would be more of a concern to me that G-d had no idea who Sally was than what...

    Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

    RNsRWe replied to ashleylea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad I kept reading responses before I typed my OWN response, which would have been something along the lines of "this is NOT a second-week Anatomy class homework assignment (seriously...ANATOMY...

    Will Incivility Ever go Away ?

    RNsRWe replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, there's plenty of "hype" about it, has been for as long as there are people willing to complain about it and believe there is a platform for it. Like....AllNurses.com? As for the "current pc...

    Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    RNsRWe replied to gibsongirl's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    In response to the original post, original question/topic in this thread, "No, I have never done this" pretty much sums it up for me. Beyond that, when the OP asks for thoughts on this topic, I guess...

    Egg-free vaccines are produced as well as preservative-free. You're covered

    Pearsonvue Trick

    RNsRWe replied to khukhai's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I believe that would be a musical stringed instrument. Recently I used "Whalla!" and got corrected, LOL (no, I'm not at all mad, just thought it funny how pet peeves work!)....so, my dear, it is...

    Plz Help me..

    RNsRWe replied to wldk0204's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Eighth attempt......75 questions. Either you nailed it this time and easily demonstrated competency....or you did miserably and demonstrated incompetency. If the former, you certainly learned what...

    Can we lay to rest the "compassion" nonsense?

    RNsRWe replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect the real problem is the perception of this website, meaning that many people join thinking it is a SUPPORT GROUP of some type. That the purpose of all messages must be uplifting and...

    Why is it so hard to get A's?

    RNsRWe replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Why is it so hard to get A's"......and then you say you spend time watching Netflix that you could be spending studying. For some, it ISN'T hard to get A's, some have to work hard for them. YOU, it...

    VA Nurse Pay Scales

    RNsRWe replied to kristykat's topic in Government, Military

    The prevailing wage in the region, the COL (and potential for Locality pay based on that) will greatly affect any offers you get. What is "low" in one place will be just dandy somewhere else. And,...

    VA shifts

    RNsRWe replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    Each facility dictates how they will handle this....and, of course, the Union's input. You can't go in with the expectation it will ALWAYS be 8s or 12s or whatever; it can change between the time you...
