  1. Should I leave this racist town?

    nurseletDZ replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @jaybuzz are you actually kidding us? If not, I think the word for your posts is "whitesplaining."

  2. How to handle rude doctor

    nurseletDZ replied to Rnfortuna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good work! Even if the surgeon in question is gonna be a d*** at least you resolved the actual patient care issue. Way to take initiative.

  3. Question from a doc on NP education

    nurseletDZ replied to clamchow's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To the OP: just curious, do you know if most of the NPs you work with went thru an acute care NP program or family NP? I have gathered that some places hire FNPs for acute care positions, which...

  4. Should I leave this racist town?

    nurseletDZ replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know, I kind of feel like this advice discounts the legitimacy of psychological trauma and its physical repercussions. The OP said s/he is now having panic attacks before shifts. I agree that...

  5. BP freak out

    nurseletDZ replied to bindikwan's topic in General Nursing

    Good point! I just learned about this in school. According to our guest lecturer who works in an acute stroke unit, the protocol is that the doc will have specific BP parameters ordered for the pt's...

  6. BSN New Graduate Salaries

    nurseletDZ replied to jchurnock's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's $34 at the Philadelphia teaching hospital that my bf just started at. Probably pretty standard for the downtown area since the hospitals are pretty competitive with each

  7. Great Clinical Day

    nurseletDZ replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    Not to be cynical, but also be prepared to haul it out during interviews for your first RN position! It'll be a great story of initiative and performance under duress!

  8. Philadelphia 2nd degree ABSN programs

    nurseletDZ replied to bellavita20's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm graduating from the Jeff 1-yr program in June. Anticipating an unpleasant job hunt bc opening for new grads are not the most plentiful. I would have liked to get an externship, which helps a lot,...

  9. Loans for ABSN

    nurseletDZ replied to Karamia0x's topic in General Students

    I was able to get federal loans (max $12,500) but the rest was covered by private

  10. Code Black

    nurseletDZ replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I got a good laugh out of that. Despite all these valid criticisms, I still like this show and find it a lot more accurate than many other medical

  11. Code Black

    nurseletDZ replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Have you seen Call the Midwife? It's set in the late 50s/early 60s, but it focuses on the nurses and portrays a lot of aspects of nursing care quite accurately. They also have a practicing midwife as...

  12. Stethoscope/clinical supplies

    nurseletDZ replied to msbossb's topic in General Students

    Whoops, sorry about that. I had read the rest of the thread but for some reason I was imagining a holster as a pocket accessory. Checked out the links, seems like a good idea! Thanks for the reminder...

  13. Stethoscope/clinical supplies

    nurseletDZ replied to msbossb's topic in General Students

    I let someone from my clinical group borrow my ugly purple double-tube stetho and she is *still* using it about 9 weeks later.... Good thing I have no intention of using it, unless someone makes off...

  14. An NCLEX question for you.

    nurseletDZ replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    "Sorry, but I believe your Saunders is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! They're telling you to tell a lie. How ethical is that??? Like there are times when you're supposed to be OK lying??? Nope!" I agree,...
