5. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

   apillarofsalt replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

   It depends. My husband and I prioritise experiences over things, so we do splurge on vacations, but we can afford to. Our home is paid off and we don't buy new cars before we need to. Spending money on something that rapidly depreciates never has mad...

8. Advice for student looking to become a peds nurse after graduation.

   apillarofsalt replied to saradista's topic in General Students

   My peds job covered certs in orientation classes so they didn't care about that one way or another. They're looking to hire people who know they want to be there, and having volunteered there should give you a leg up because you know you already like...

9. Email to the unit manager

   apillarofsalt replied to Talka_RN's topic in Job Hunt

   You can google a good "interview follow up email" template for wording ideas. If she gave you permission to contact her, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. Good luck!

10. ER vs. L&D

    apillarofsalt replied to auson16's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ED if you like variety and work well under pressure, L&D if you have a passion for women's health. I'm transitioning from ED to L&D and they're so different. I'm glad I did ED first, because you see so much more and learn good general skills ...

11. How to respond when residents say "I love you" (in a family way)

    apillarofsalt replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in Geriatric

    I agree with the last two posters--with altered cognition, you have to prioritise the patients well-being and self images. Certainly do only what makes you comfortable, but I don't think a simple ILY response is going to get you in hot water. Love ca...

14. Contracts?

    apillarofsalt replied to Smorra's topic in Career Support

    What is the nature of he contract? Is there a noncompete disclosure? What happens if you break the contract?

15. Precepting New Grads

    apillarofsalt replied to EDRNCCmom's topic in Emergency

    Your facility's orientation process sounds like the one I oriented at as a new grad. My preceptor was a nightmare. She had me do most of her work, which is the only way to learn, and I tried to be as enthusiastic as possible. As time went on, I reali...
