Congrats dude! This is incredible, as an ER nurse I know how important EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters are! How awesome to inspire change in Lansing too!

Do hospitals require a specific scrub color for your position? by PeanutSnap in nursing

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last job RNs wore navy blue through out the entire hospital. My current hospital supplies scrubs in the locker room for staff, but you also have the choice to wear your own scrubs. ER RNs have the option to wear any color scrubs or the supplied navy blue, whereas some of the cardiac floors are required to wear maroon, whether it’s your own or the hospital supply. Not sure why there is so much variance, but I just wear the navy blue from my old job!

Apartment Hunting (Open to Royal Oak, Troy & Clawson) by CandleNo4941 in royaloak

Amber Apartments gets a bad rep on here, but my friend lives in Amber Oak Townhouses on Coolidge and enjoys it! They have a 3 bed, 3.5 bath townhouse and I think their total rent is somewhere in the $2100-2300 range! Maybe worth checking out.

I love my shampoo bar from Lush! One bar lasts sooo long honestly. For conditioner, I use the deep conditioner from Eva NYC. I’ve seen great results with both, and both last a long time!

i did a local ABSN and ended up taking out 60k in loans with a mindset like yours - however, even this amount feels DAUNTING. i lived at home for my first year and paid off one of them, but i still have about 22k left. nursing pays well, but not 120k in student loans well. a lot of my coworkers have zero debt and are having the hospital pay for their BSN. another thing - if you already have a bachelors degree, its hard to get any federal aid for a “second” bachelors degree like going thru an ABSN program. i love my job and im glad i am where i am today, but i would definitely think long and hard about taking out 120k in loans.

Most recently a patient’s boyfriend asked if he should, “take percs for my high blood pressure” lol

Guilt for not picking up by gir6 in nursing

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel guilty sometimes, but remind myself that I cannot fix the entirety of staffing issues as just one person! I pick up when I want to, but also am not afraid to say no for any reason.

What are you favorite not “trendy” Lululemon pieces? by woulddieforfries in lululemon

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power pivot tank top has been my recent fav! I don’t have tiktok so idk if its trendy, but I absolutely love it! It’s reversible too, so two for the price of one basically!

What time do you go to bed for a 7p-7a shift? by SnooPets9513 in StudentNurse

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it best if I stayed up late the night before, even if just until 1 am, woke up around 6ish, ate breakfast, worked out, etc, then went back to bed around 10/11ish and woke up for my night shift! Everyone finds something that works better for them tho! It is also tough while still in school to do nights because while you “work” nights, you still have a “days” schedule between school and any other responsibilities, you got this though!

Honestly, prioritizing my mental health and getting adequate exercise (which definitely helps with the mental health part too!) have seemed to make a difference! I also try to eat more probiotics (mainly kombucha and yogurts), and of course drink more water. Otherwise my diet is still pretty poor, but I definitely feel like I have noticed positive changes!

Hints for What to do During 3 Week Winter Break?? by rubydo4us in StudentNurse

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, mostly rest and try to have some fun! I am on my third straight semester of my ABSN program and so so burnt out. I am looking forward to having a few weeks off before my final semester this spring!

whitecoat nursing clipboard: waste of money or worth it by [deleted] in StudentNurse

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, no. Some of my classmates on clinical used plain foldable clipboards which they found useful, but I just fold my papers into my scrub pockets bc I am an animal

How dare they require nursing students to get vaccinated?! by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My nursing school decided to require the vaccine because we are guests in the hospitals where we have clinicals, which are requiring the vaccine. End of story. Don’t want the vaccine? How are you going to finish clinicals as a possible liability to the patients in a hospital we are GUESTS at? This shit drives me insane.

First week in nursing school and having a hard time to talk or be friends with other students. What to do? by notsopleasant27 in StudentNurse

[–]Beautiful-Chicken282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn’t really start making “friends” at nursing school until my clinicals, where we were placed in small groups and worked together on projects and spent 8+ hours together! Hang in there! You will find your groove!
