  1. Stethoscope earpieces

    Parakeet posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Just a question if anyone has seen extra small earpieces for stethoscopes. I have super small ear canals that even small eartips are too big. Background: my first stethoscope on entering nursing...

  2. You Know You're A Nurse If...

    Parakeet replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    True story: My brother and some of his friends had a get together and I was there. They had two kinds of coke: regular coke and coke zero. I told all of them that I learned aspartame is the result of...

  3. What is it like working in an urgent care clinic?

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! That does not sound too bad, actually! I am looking for a place that is somewhat slower than hospital, but where I can keep my skill

  4. What is it like working in an urgent care clinic?

    Parakeet posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering what it is like working in an urgent care clinic. I take it is slower than the ER? Since I have graduation coming up this spring, I am looking into non-hospital jobs out there. For...

  5. Nurses aren't maids!

    Parakeet replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    This thread really saddened me. Though you may call me unprofessional, and may say that I should never be a nurse, I disagree with the majority of opinions on this post. For me, nursing is a calling....

  6. My Nursing Instructor Is making clinical a nightmare

    Parakeet replied to Chole_0316's topic in General Students

    Chole, I understand what you are going through right now. I too, am an extreme introvert. I also deal with eyesight and memory issues, which does not help my situation. Some people might look at how...

  7. Firearms

    Parakeet replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    All of these gun laws and prohibitions seem to me like the alcohol prohibition way back when. It did not stop the liquor trade, moonshiners just found another way around the law. I really don't see...

  8. A Sincere Thank You to allnurses Members

    Parakeet posted a topic in General Nursing

    As we have already had a thread in honour of Mr. Short and another to show our appreciation of the leaders who make AN possible, I want to start another thread in appreciation of the members who have...

  9. A Sincere Thank You to allnurses Members

    Parakeet replied to Parakeet's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to mention that I had not seen the full story of what happened to Mr. Short's family until today. I have tried to edit my posts as such, but somehow am unable to. I am terribly shocked...

    I keep on coming back......AN is one of my first resources for nursing school. I have learned so much. Thank

  11. THANK YOU, to the staff, mods, and admins....

    Parakeet replied to weirdscience's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for everything you do. It is easy to take for granted all that goes on here at AN, but would not be possible if you all were not here. During this time, I think you have doubly...

    Parakeet replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I am relatively knew to AN, but have already learned so much. I am not on social media, so I just heard about this tragedy on AN. My prayers and thoughts for his family; I am so very sorry. Also, my...

  13. Do all nurses need 20/20 vision?

    Parakeet replied to Donna Maheady's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thanks for writing this! I am not blind, but my vision has not been good. Though it may seem strange, even though I am thankful for the sight I have now, I have always thought that if I ever was...

  14. Can i still get a job with an ADN??

    Parakeet replied to Sparky231's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, from the tone of other posters, maybe my experience would not be appreciated. I do not intend this as a blueprint for others, but simply what I experienced and an encouragement. Blessings,...

  15. Can i still get a job with an ADN??

    Parakeet replied to Sparky231's topic in General Nursing

    Just as an encouragement, I was one of those people who got my GED. I took it at mid tenth grade during high school. I ended up going to a four year college and then transferring to another college...

  16. Nurse Supervisor retaliating against patient

    Parakeet replied to AmberAmazes's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am so sorry this happened to you! ((Hugs)). Unfortunately, I do not yet have much experience, so I cannot help. I hope you can get this resolved

  17. This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    Parakeet replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I just learned this week that my forefathers are a tough lot.....and I need to live up to them! My family and I met a Russian couple while in Canada. They told us a little of how Russian education...

  18. This week, I learned.... (7/25)

    Parakeet replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a phone, so therefore do not have an app. I look at AN on my computer at home. :) I have managed to go three days without looking on AN

  19. This week, I learned.... (7/25)

    Parakeet replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned that scheduling dentist appointments on the week before finals might take up study time. Also that getting four wisdom teeth out tomorrow will most likely take up even more study...

  20. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Parakeet replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    MunoRN, Like I posted earlier, if you go back in history, Islam is only as old as A.D. 610. Islam and Judaism only share certain things in that Mohamed picked and chose what he liked from Judaism and...

  21. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Parakeet replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    BsumerRN Back to you..... Actually my sources were both secular and Christian. Mohamed borrowed from both Judaism and Christianity the pieces he wanted to make up his religion. It was not just...

  22. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    Parakeet replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like in this situation, it was more a problem of how the OPs coworkers or supervisors responded, rather than maybe a patient issue. Again, I cannot speak from experience, but it sounds maybe...

  23. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Parakeet replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My own thoughts on this subject are like what has been effectively voiced by others in this thread. I am not going to push my beliefs on anyone and patient concerns come first. Even though I would...

  24. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Parakeet replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Though it may be slightly off topic, I could not leave this alone. The Jewish and Christian God is the same; Islam has a very different god than the God of the Bible. Also, they are not all Abrahamic...

  25. Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    Parakeet replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I never use that vocabulary nor have it in my dictionary! I was hoping to see an answer to the situation; none yet, however, Esme12 had a great response; no beating around the bush....
