    When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    You sound shocked. That means you most likely haven't been around health care very long. Back in the 70s and 80s, every floor in a hospital had a chalk board prominently displayed at the Nurses'...

    Items for practicing injecions

    My roommate and I injected our oranges with vodka. Instant screwdriver. 😇 And, pardon me for asking, but just who were you supposed to use the practice Foley kit on??

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Nope, no Olympic Backpedal for you. This is what you said: "I'm surprised by some of these comments and how rude they are. Obviously alot of people done forgot how it was when they were in nursing...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Libertarian Healthcare

    Don't mind us. We're just the Knights Who Say "Ni!" Until we become The Knights Who Say "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Pitang-Zoom-Boing!" Sorry, OP, I really don't have any questions about Libertarians. I need to...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Ok, I'm beginning to feel really bitey here. Once again, students are NOT precepted. New employees are precepted. Preceptors for new employees are most of the time paid extra for their efforts, and...

    Feeling Very Discouraged

    Ok, this has been explained eleventy one times before, but here goes: You do not precept a student. You precept a new employee. Preceptors, for the most part, are willing volunteers who have been...

    Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    No. It needs to be put to rest. It's four words strung together to elicit a specific response. It's also less valid as older nurses are being pushed out in favor of younger, cuter, more PR positive...
