  1. look for new job

    EP, RN replied to mp3231's topic in General Nursing

    iMovie, it doesn't matter. The company is not loyal to the employee, so there shouldn't be expectation of the opposite as long as you have an "interview

  2. Hypothetical - forgetting to prime IV tubing on a central line

    EP, RN replied to Burno82's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you running IVF through a central line without a pump...or any line save a RR or code? A pump should never allow that to

  3. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    EP, RN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    You live in Dallas, so everyone is a 30k/yr millionaire...still, yes, we make very good money. I make more as a nurse than I did as an engineer. I make almost as much as my wife, who is a university...

  4. Come join the DARK side...

    EP, RN replied to Maryraps20's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    IMO, both have a lot to offer, and neither is preferred over the other as a group. It just depends on the individual and how competent/good they are at their job. (Note: that is my opinion; I have...

  5. How Do You Explain to People Why You Chose Hospice?

    EP, RN replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm not a hospice nurse, but I work with them a lot. IMO, once people experience hospice, they'll never ask that

  6. Help!!

    EP, RN replied to Dparera's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I made it to the point of rescheduling and it wouldn't let me, that's how I knew I passed. Not sure how it works in your state, but MI updates their website daily, so that you can go to the LARA site...

  7. Nurses don't do anything

    EP, RN replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is what I was going to point out...besides the year or two immediately after 9-11, nurses are consistently ranked the most trusted profession. People say things because we are with them when they...

  8. New CNA trying to find a job

    EP, RN replied to Rodrinka's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Also in MI...it took about two months, but that's b/c I spent a month applying to nothing but hospital jobs and then didn't apply anywhere for a couple of weeks b/c we had company in from out of the...

  9. Changing careerS

    EP, RN replied to iTyrizzle87's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Another engineer here...moved to Michigan in 2010 and good luck getting a CE job here then. Bounced around a couple of years doing anything I could before applying to nursing school. Wished I would...

  10. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    EP, RN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Our lectures almost always start before noon and continue until early afternoon...that means I'm gonna eat, as is 75% of the rest of the class. We've yet to have an instructor or professor who

  11. Stethoscope.. Help choosing one.

    EP, RN replied to MyOwnBlueSky's topic in General Students

    I have an MDF that I paid about thirty bucks for. It's probably not the best stethoscope in the world, but it more than sufficient, especially for

  12. What kind of back pack should you get for nursing school

    EP, RN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    I have just a plain ol' Eddie Bauer backpack. Like others have said, I don't actually carry my textbooks a lot - once or twice per week, probably. Several people I go to school with have rolling bags...

  13. Assistance in Finding Nursing Shoes

    EP, RN replied to tdi213's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Solid white Asics walking shoes for this guy. So comfy; so

  14. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    EP, RN replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    31 here. *waiving* I'll be 32 when I graduate in December. My cohort has 29 students and at least a quarter of us are in the 30+

  15. Today I made a big mistake.

    EP, RN replied to student-rn's topic in General Students

    I don't know if it is universal, but the no. 1 rule at my school is do not pass a med without your clinical instructor in the room b/c you will be dropped from the program. For the OP, I think a lot...

  16. Tell an instructor how to teach better.

    EP, RN replied to tulip5's topic in General Students

    I agree with Soldier Nurse 22 that those things vary between students. I am a "big-picture, visual learner" (if that makes sense), so I am not going to get much out of just reading a chapter in a...

  17. Working while going to school?

    EP, RN replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    FWIW, many of my fellow students work while going to school; however, most of us that work as CNAs or PCTs do so at facilities where we have been for some time and so we have flexibility. For example,...
