    Participating in Protests?

    Extra Pickles replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Read your mind? No. Only your words. If what you said isn't what you really meant and they came out badly as patronizing and condescending I can appreciate that, but then you'd have to actually...

    Ethics help!

    Extra Pickles replied to KatieFRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's all good, but you're misunderstanding the issue. She isn't asking what alternative treatments exist, she's asking about boundaries from a professional and potentially legal standpoint because...

    CNA Survival Kit

    Extra Pickles replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're already a nurse, so I don't have to give you the heads-up of how a floor works lol , but if you're giving a kit out of, say, a tote bag, I'd put these things in--- *protein and/or granola bars,...

    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Extra Pickles replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speak for yourself lol I can still do a drop split onto the floor! My back handspring days are far behind me now but I bet I could still cartwheel down the unit if I wanted to. But I can't imagine...

    Questions for all nurses!!

    Extra Pickles replied to aveonurse2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    my first thought after reading this line was that nurses should always be observed in their natural habitat, and not an artificial one like a coffee shop lol! Be sure to observe the Wild Nurse as she...

    Ethics help!

    Extra Pickles replied to KatieFRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping the RN at the end of her username means she's already an RN and not playing one on TV!

    Ethics help!

    Extra Pickles replied to KatieFRN's topic in General Nursing

    if you're talking about evidence-based treatments, treatments that have proven benefits, then of course you can talk about them because you have science on your side, no matter what the doc prefers to...

    Nurses pulling rank on assignments

    Extra Pickles replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds more like she was saying "you should as long as someone doesn't have a hissy and really really want that patient". No, I've never heard of "pulling rank" for an assignment. Having a more...

    Participating in Protests?

    Extra Pickles replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Not an attack at all. I think I'm just tired of people turning everything into a war when it isn't what the OP asked and it takes the thread in a direction the OP doesn't intend. Too often people...

    Extra Pickles replied to murseymee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be very helpful if you would use the Quote Button on the lower righthand corner of the post to which you are replying. If you do that the post appears in a white box in your reply and what...

    Participating in Protests?

    Extra Pickles replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    She isn't asking if she's correct in her viewpoint, she isn't asking for a debate on the validity of her beliefs. She's asking for input and information regarding how to protest legally and how it...

    Interview with Nurse

    Extra Pickles replied to Purna94's topic in General Students

    You're about to interview a nurse, but can't think of a single question for which you want an answer? That's surprising. As a first-year student you should have roughly a hundred questions waiting...

    Pearson Vue Trick NCLEX RN 2017 265 Questions Wisconsin

    Extra Pickles replied to lischka11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This website gets all of its information from the individual state boards of nursing. They don't know anything your own BON doesn't know, so you'd do better to just look up your license on your own...

    Question from a Pre-Nursing Student

    Extra Pickles replied to Apple-Core's topic in General Nursing

    You won't get to experience all avenues of nursing while a student, it's really just a Sample Pack. You might find what you desperately want to do while in school is something you really don't care...

    Extra Pickles replied to guest833402's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how it is where you are, but anywhere within hours of my home has zero in school nursing spots available, ever. The average employment of a school nurse, I think, it somewhere around 68...

    GPN working under an RN license

    Extra Pickles replied to Dogozaly's topic in General Nursing

    When you say GPN do you mean Graduate Practical Nurse? If this is the case, seems to me the person responsible for hiring this unlicensed graduate, meaning the Nurse Manager, Unit Manager, whoever,...

    Can you be forced to be charge nurse?

    Extra Pickles replied to yourfuturern22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Like the others said, it's a part of being an RN. You can and should request some training time with another charge nurse, you can insist you don't feel comfortable and would be better able to do the...

    I start clinicals on monday, my friend warned me about the instructor, advice please

    Extra Pickles replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    There is nothing more useless than a friend telling you that a certain instructor is bad because she is tough. Was this instructor tough on your friend because your friend was poorly prepared for the...

    What jobs can a PCT get other than PCT?

    Extra Pickles replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    It might seem petty, but you should be aware that PCT work is not considered "clinical experience". It simply isn't. Even a CNA, which is a certified PCT essentially, does not have "clinical...

    PathoPhysiology Online or In class?

    Extra Pickles replied to injured1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering about that too. Night shift is probably where the OP plans to work based on that kind of a sleeping pattern but he can't rely on that for some nursing classes, some clinicals and the...
