    orangepink replied to lilboboxox's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I just got accepted to the NP program this Fall! I'm so ecstatic! Still, I wonder where can I find a room to rent that's cheap and clean without those annoying roommates. I'm from Riverside, btw. I'd...

  2. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    orangepink replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it's that big of a deal that she calls herself a nurse but the issue is how she responded to the patient's request. It would have been better had she replied "Sure, ma'am/sir. Is there...

    orangepink replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

  9. Fired from my first job today......Feeling like a failure.

    orangepink replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Why are people encouraging me to become an M.D. rather than an RN?

    orangepink replied to tnewman's topic in General Nursing

  15. The CA New Grad Crisis?

    orangepink replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    To the threadstarter: my answer is all of the above plus California has more nursing schools thereby, producing more new graduates in a year. That's why it is so competitive. And the reason why work...
