    sweaty person + humid summers = sweat through scrub tops

    NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks, @barcode120x, for the input. It sounds like the dri-fit undershirts are helpful for you and are worth checking out. We have a surprisingly decent set of colors for our student nurse uniform:...

    Help! I Can't Get Rid of My Dark Cloud

    NuggetsHuman replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nugget will do anything for food. Can't you tell nobody ever feeds or pets or loves this poor doggle? ? Truly, though, she is cross trained as a therapy dog, so she's got therapeutic communication...

    MSW to PMHNP/FNP (dangerous ideas!)

    NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh--I also wanted to add that as I look back on my original post, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings. Among them are: -GRATITUDE for the encouragement of you all, and critical thinking encouraged...

    MSW to PMHNP/FNP (dangerous ideas!)

    NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pharmacology kicked my ***, but I kicked back! It's really interesting to me that I catch myself at work thinking about information in different ways than I have in the past. For example, I look at a...

    Picking Clinical Sites

    NuggetsHuman replied to NuggetsHuman's topic in General Students

    Ohh. I didn't see all these replies... need to remember to turn on some kind of alert. This is my first semester of hands-on patient care. We have had a communication clinical and health assessment...

    Scrubs that survive thick thighs

    NuggetsHuman replied to LPN_WA's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I really appreciate this thread. Thank you. I get annoyed when my favorite pants of any sort get thigh rubbing holes before the rest wears out. I'm still a student in a part-time second degree...

    Older Students - 40 +

    NuggetsHuman replied to rabiamirou's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the encouragement. It also helps that I’m in a job where my role is really interesting and worthwhile in an organization that is a good match for my personal values. It will be 6 years...

    Older Students - 40 +

    NuggetsHuman replied to rabiamirou's topic in General Students

    One definitely can take the direct entry route, and it would be much more time efficient. Unfortunately I’m not in a position where I can stop my full time job to attend school full

    Older Students - 40 +

    NuggetsHuman replied to rabiamirou's topic in General Students

    I decided to go for it at 43. I had been chipping away at prerequisites one at a time over a few years, but got to the point where I had to decide to dive in or not, as half time is the minimum number...

    Full Ride Scholarship or Not? Advice needed!!

    NuggetsHuman replied to ThirdGenNurse's topic in General Students

    I hear you, @ThirdGenNurse. It's easy to focus on what's available right now, and how it might affect you right now without thinking too far down the line about how a three year commitment might...

    Methadone clinic job offer

    NuggetsHuman replied to CardiacRN#1's topic in Addictions

    I'm so happy to hear it's working out for you. That's great! Also, not sure if you have student loans, but there's been some expansion of National Health Service Corps loan repayment program to help...

    Looking up patients on Facebook

    NuggetsHuman replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    It's really creepy how Facebook algorithms can mess with things in ways you'd never intend. I currently work as a clinical social worker, and have heard validated stories of colleagues and others in...

    NuggetsHuman replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Tech industry jobs are really driving the market. Seattle has many large and small tech firms that often will start their full time programmers at upwards or $100k or

    Seattle is Dying

    NuggetsHuman replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I also want to add that housing first really does work. It's a very cost effective way to save lives, improve health, increase human dignity, decrease homelessness, and save money with regard to...

    NuggetsHuman replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I work for ProjectHOME and have provided behavioral health services at the Hub (drop in day time center for people experiencing homelessness). On the busiest of days, there are more than 500 people...

    MSN vs DNP Choice

    NuggetsHuman replied to jaynakim34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it also depends on what state you want to practice in when you graduate. When I moved away from Seattle ~3 years ago, they were pretty heavily legislating and programs were moving away from...

    Trans Patient

    NuggetsHuman replied to Neo Soldier's topic in Psychiatric

    Wow. The assumption that a transwoman would masturbate in front of a ciswoman is rife with inherent bias and, I hope you hear this kindly, a lot of ignorance about being trans. Simply because someone...

    Any INFJ in Psych nursing? Is counselling involved as a psychiatric nurse?

    NuggetsHuman replied to fiba's topic in Psychiatric

    I think the difference is whether you're providing "general psychoeducation, supportive listening, and helping the patient decide their goals and how to get there" versus psychotherapy assessment,...
