  1. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    I have a problem with all the arguments presented here along these lines. It's basically coming down to "other people don't wash their hands, I as a nurse shouldn't have to, either" - and I think...

  2. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

  3. Family stole from me

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Speedy15's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I have a fanny pack. not for anti-theft purposes, but it does the

  4. Is this a crime?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to itsybitsy's topic in General Nursing

    I think OP is being sensitive, but the responses so far. I mean, really? I'm pretty sure OP knows Dr. Pepper isn't an actual doctor. her friend was acting weird. I personally wouldn't be so...

  5. Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    ^ THIS. the comments from those saying they're not putting anyone in harm's way is inexcusable. scrubs belong in the hospital/medical

  6. Anyone with Google can be a nurse

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Rnnonami's topic in General Nursing

    Funny enough, we had an instructor at our school who would say "google it" every time one of us asked her a question. We deduced either she was lazy or didn't know the answer, or both. Needless to...

  7. Why I'm leaving nursing

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    no back pain here but my feet are on fire at the end of a shift. I started doing the whole changing of shoes completely mid-way into a shift. people think I'm crazy but it works better than any pair...

  8. RN Graduate Establishes Dominance

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nicmdavi's topic in General Nursing

    ^ Bingo. that coyote analogy, while good on paper, is just like most nursing literature that assumes a perfect environment and things get done. It's just too idealistic. the offending party simply...

  9. Working in LTC. New Grad.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ASIA1210, BSN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    in my area, even LTC jobs for new grads are scarce. our market is oversaturated. your best bet in getting into a hospital is connections. you need to know someone who will give your name to a...

  10. So Embarrassing

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I once told visitors (who obviously weren't fluent English speakers) that the nurse they're looking for was currently tied up at the moment. they clearly took it as literal and had a very puzzled...

  11. Failed NCLEX 😢😢

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to branthebrat0789's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would recommend Hurst and UWorld. it worked for me and countless others if you search this

  12. Just wait for your results!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to novakm3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The PVT works if you passed. IE, if you can't register again, it's 100% you have passed. No one has ever said they couldn't register again and actually failed. But the opposite is untrue. There...

  13. Why I'm leaving nursing

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    I always say this, people who go in for a higher calling and expecting gratitude from patients...going to be sorely

  14. Resume Tips That Will Help You Stand Out From the Crowd

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    OMG my school's resume example had all of the stuff in this video that's considered fluff. No wonder I wasn't getting call backs for a

  15. Failed out of nursing school

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nursingstudent65's topic in General Students

    also note that Fundamentals, in general, is the 'easy' nursing course. and if you're not succeeding here, it may spell trouble for later semesters. it's my observation that people who repeated...

  16. How possible is it to pass the NCLEX-RN with 227 questions?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Bella79-RN BScN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    this thread got me cracking, I passed in the 200's

  17. Unfair Shift Rotation

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    OP's comments about kids must be the most quoted comment I've ever seen in a

  18. Does segregation exist in hospital settings

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in one of those nice newer wards where wealthy families "donated" to the hospital so they'd have a nice place to go to when they get sick. I put donate in quotation marks cause you read about...

  19. Unable to leave building for lunch...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know why you would raise your hand to ask that. Safest bet was to just do it and then feign ignorance if they brought it up to your attention. After all, I doubt they have it written for...

  20. Lost copy of clinical cases

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kayedalma's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine they want care plans, etc., that were done during clinical. thank god I don't have to go through all that, I basically threw out all of that on the very last clinical day. it was a...

  21. BP cuff over a PICC line

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to offlabel's topic in General Nursing

    there goes that evidence-based practice, I

  22. ADN new grad jobs

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to taylor92's topic in General Nursing

    You'll get a lot of rejections, but don't let it discourage you. keep applying, and make sure you tailor your resume to the opening you are applying for. It's very tempting just to send a...

  23. Is it okay to look for another job?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kmend11's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. Some LTCs are notorious for their attrition rates in my area. And as such they will happily take on new grads. I think terming it "taking a chance on a new grad" is being generous....

  24. Taking the Nclex for the 5th time 2016

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to hpalmer23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Hurst and uworld and passed on first try. This is how I did it - hurst breaks things up into different topics. I followed those topics and did them individually. Once I got the content review...

  25. RN Graduate Establishes Dominance

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nicmdavi's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with someone like this. in fact, she didn't even graduate from nursing school, she flunked out. and when I tell you she was bitter with a capital B... that woman stayed there way longer...
