    Not All Nurses Eat Their Young...

    HermioneG replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my BSN and throughout my entire experience I only met one nurse who truly had an "eat their young" attitude, and I prefer not to dwell on him, because he was cruel. Everyone else has...

    Should I put this experience on my resume?

    HermioneG replied to HermioneG's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks Kaylee! It had such a huge impact on me, and that's one of the reasons why I wanted to put it in there! The hospital where I'm applying is a nonprofit and values nurses that give their time to...

    HermioneG replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    Absolutely!:) And my experience completely solidified my desire to work in ER, especially that ER in that particular hospital. The teamwork and energy of the department was so inspiring, and I hope to...

    Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    HermioneG replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    At first I, too, thought that the OP was acting kind of full of themselves. But then after continuing to read I don't think so anymore. I can see how if they worked hard to get really good grades and...

    What are clinicals really like?

    HermioneG replied to coder24's topic in General Students

    Just from my experience: The hours of clinicals have varied. My first quarter I would have clinicals for about 8 hours a week. Now, in my last quarter, I'm in clinicals between 12-36 hours a week...

    I can't do chest compressions (CPR) will I be terminated?

    HermioneG replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not exactly sure I'm understanding, so forgive me if I misread. But, I think the question would be, you shouldnt do compressions, or you can't? Could you, even if uncomfortable, do compressions if...

    Nursing Arrogance

    HermioneG replied to Flowerchild6065's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I googled "meek" and the wikipedia page on it wasn't as bad as the others. According to the wikipedia page, it means that the person is "humble, teachable, patient under suffering, long suffering" and...

    Hi Pixie.RN! Thank you so much for the reply! It's a pretty big ER. It's the only level I trauma center in three fairly big counties that serves about 75,000 adult patients a year, and about 26,000...

    Study Groups or Study Alone ???

    HermioneG replied to Paola2319's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last quarter, and I've always studied alone. I've found that I do best when I study alone but still pool notes with other students from my class. I've always found that study groups either...

    I feel like a failure

    HermioneG replied to KellyVT's topic in General Students

    Hey! I know it's hard, but try to just take this one as a "lesson learned" and give yourself both forgiveness and permission to move on. I messed up once and even though the patient wasn't hurt I was...
