    What is an "RN supervisor"???

    Extra Pickles replied to RNdynamic's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    sounds like a recipe for tragedy honestly, you're right that there should not be new grads as supervisors. They may find out that they are the only RN in the building and are responsible for...

    Extra Pickles replied to infinite0meow's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How to get accepted with a learning disability

    Extra Pickles replied to godzgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You can't get through nursing school with only a 4th grade math ability. I don't think being bad in math is even a recognized disability? You're not saying you just take longer to learn things in...

    Extra Pickles replied to AliNajaCat's topic in General Nursing

    Jury Duty

    Extra Pickles replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't actually true, federal law doesn't require employers to pay anything at all to employees who are out on jury duty. There's a handful of states that do have this as a law but most don't and...

    job good for pre nursing L&D Student

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

    As a student, no license and no experience, your best bet is going to be as a nursing aide, sometimes called techs or PCTs, like that. There is nothing else really that you could do. Look at job...

    What can I do with my license?

    Extra Pickles replied to rninkentucky's topic in General Nursing

    That assumption is a little mean don't you think? She didn't say that she was in it just for the money she asked where she could make the best money and asked what options she had with her license....

    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

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

    You are missing my point as well as others' points, I am not confused regarding the topic, but you seem to be, as your posts have nothing to do with it. You keep referring to a thread you created and...

    Tennessee Hospital Performed Procedure on Wrong Baby

    Extra Pickles replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    I'm pretty sure I'd be raising holy hell if an unnecessary and painful procedure were done on my one day old baby. The only way to make a hospital more careful or do anything at all to prevent this...

    Extra Pickles replied to Fluffy64's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Extra Pickles replied to Guest02/04/2016's topic in General Nursing

    Is this related to the patient you had who had a mistake and died in December or is this a different patient? Is this patient still ok or did he die too? I think all you can do if this is a new...

    Extra Pickles replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    does anyone really do that? earmark a savings plan in case they get called for jury duty some time in the next few years? I know you should save what you can for a rainy day as the saying goes, but I...

    INTERVIEW

    Extra Pickles replied to Lleva's topic in Government, Military

    I'm sorry but there's no way I'm going to give that much personal information to a stranger especially a stranger who asks anonymously. I mean really you think people are going to tell you their home...

    Advice?

    Extra Pickles replied to maco1's topic in General Nursing

    I used to do 12s and now do 8s but only parttime. sometimes I even just do 4 hours instead of a full shift if there's enough coverage because to be honest I'm just tired! I work med-surg but it's...

    Extra Pickles replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Nursing

    Really sorry you are having such a hard time when you're close to the end of your program! The other people have pretty much said everything I would say, and I'd also say that if it wasn't school...

    Seeking employment before passing NCLEX

    Extra Pickles replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Nursing

    You will have to call them back and tell them you are not licensed that you still have to take the test. They will either put your application at the bottom of a stack of applications because you...

    Nursing: The Highly Skilled Customer Service Representative

    Extra Pickles replied to gleanns's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I think part of the trouble with using clients instead of patients is that professionals who have clients try hard to keep them coming back for repeat business. If nurses are doing our jobs as...

    Nursing is a passion?

    Extra Pickles replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    compassion instead of passion? I think they are two different things, I am a compassionate person but like I said before I don't have passion for nursing. I am glad I am good at it so I can keep...

    The sloppy image of nurses today

    Extra Pickles replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Men with well oiled hair give me the creeps and women should not have hair hanging down so that it gets in the way. I don't know how applying makeup liberally LOL is going to make me look more...

    Nursing is a passion?

    Extra Pickles replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How about the idea that nurses should be passionate about doing a good job. I know I'm passionate about making sure I have everything signed off before I leave so no one calls me at home

    Nursing is a passion?

    Extra Pickles replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You didn't like the nurse because you thought she was (bad name) so you called her by that bad name? That can't ever be ok! You were not being respectful when you called someone a nasty name! You as...

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    oh my god are you seeing all these horrible things where you work? If you are I hope you reported every instance of abuse! If you're not saying anything to correct abuse it's just as bad as doing it...

    Extra Pickles replied to JenParrish's topic in Medical-Surgical

    wow that's not alot of time for orientation if you've never done that kind of nursing before! I work med-surg and we never get PRN floats who don't know med-surg. I don't think we ever get new nurses...
