    You asked us our opinion. Yes -- do what you want. But why would you really want people to assume things about you? Despite the adage, people do judge books by their covers. If you want to "do what...

    Scrubs_n_sirens replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    I don't remember anyone saying that nurses aren't always nice to students. Again, I feel like this is another student post by a student who hasn't seen enough to actually know why some nurses are that...

    EKG reading and leads

    Scrubs_n_sirens replied to Red398's topic in General Nursing

    Leads for routine cardiac monitoring. I go by colors typically as our wires typically have 5 tails. White on the right, smoke over fire, clouds over grass, brown in the middle. On a twelve lead, V1...

    Do I Have the Stomach for Nursing?

    Scrubs_n_sirens replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in General Students

    I thought I'd have problems changing adult diapers. Now I kind of prefer it to spending 20 minutes ambulating the elderly to the bathroom and back. Disclaimer: this doesn't mean I make them go on...

    My amazing hubby just surprised me with a vacation planned to an all-inclusive, and (blissfully) adult only resort in the Yucatan, Mexico next month. I cried with happiness. Hopefully some beach time,...

    Mayo Clinic Externship 2016 (Summer III)

    Scrubs_n_sirens replied to futurenurseas5's topic in School, College Programs

    Not necessarily. They want to know more about the content of your character and motivation than if you can do aide work. GPA is a minor thing. I was picked over students with 4.0s because my resume...

    Scrubs_n_sirens replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    We have patients who have a bunch of individually "concerning" findings. However, not everything is truly an emergent finding. A patient may have a certain arrhythmia and some small finding you have,...

    Wow. No. This doesn't get to fall back on the staff nurses. Your clinical instructor is obviously inept and if you're having these issues, it's not because of the nurses. Your clinical instructor is...

    Scrubs_n_sirens replied to futurenurseas5's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys! As a past Summer III extern, I can honestly say GPA isn't everything! I had a 3.4 when I was accepted. Write strong essays, incorporate their values into your essays, and have resumes strong...
