5. Which Mac Air? 11" or 13"

   AnchoredRN replied to Kenna_b's topic in General Students

   13" hands down. It's super light but the screen is big enough where you won't strain and you can have two windows up at once and still be able to read them

   Are you the one you're posting about..... ?

7. Calling in treats for unit when home sick?

   AnchoredRN replied to MIRN923's topic in General Nursing

   Not while you're out sick. If you're well enough to be calling in treats then people might question if you're really sick. If you wanted to show appreciation (though I think a nice thank you when you return would suffice) you can bring something in w...

9. I am pregnant and I am about to start my new job.

   AnchoredRN replied to elenasimona's topic in General Nursing

   I had this happen to me when I took a HS teaching position. I found out the day before the interview but I didn't tell them. I told them once I hit 12 weeks. They were very supportive! Even when I went on bed rest the last 7 weeks (and I have since s...

11. AWD vehicle for nurses

    AnchoredRN replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Maine and get where you're coming from. Personally I would wait until you have a paying RN job to get that vehicle. I have a Jeep GC right now and I will be driving 60min one way (30 miles) to school and back and I'm thinking of getting a c...

12. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    AnchoredRN replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    Why do you need someone with you? If you want to withdraw and get away from the program, then why does it matter what she says or thinks of you? You'll never see her again! Grow a pair, face the music, and go about your merry way!

13. Ethical to take permanent position with plans to leave?

    AnchoredRN replied to hakhama's topic in New Nurse

    I think it's very reasonable especially since you're moving away. Take the few weeks to relax, see friends, and prepare for the new job.

14. Ethical to take permanent position with plans to leave?

    AnchoredRN replied to hakhama's topic in New Nurse

    If I were you and you have worked with them before, be upfront with them. Maybe you could work for those 3 months until they can find a permanent replacement. So you'd kind of be a placeholder. Otherwise if you took the job and didn't tell them you w...

15. Anatomy and physiology online?

    AnchoredRN replied to steffimiesha's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You're very welcome! I did half my English BA online and the other half through a satellite campus, so I had to learn the best way to get through online classes. If your classes let you take practice tests, the BEST way to do it is, start the test th...
