1. Quitting a job after a short time

   nursemayj posted a topic in General Nursing

   About two and a half months ago I changed jobs because I wanted new experience as an oncology nurse. I have only worked in one specialty and have never done floor nursing. I thought working in oncology would be a good fit because I like to specialize...

2. SubQ injections

   nursemayj replied to Trinity.Rn's topic in Safety

   That is horribly inappropriate. Did you speak up in the moment? That should never happen, increased risk of infection, improper technique, that's just so obviously wrong. Anyone who does that or thinks it's ok shouldn't be nursing or caring for pati...

3. Favorite nursing job or specialty

   nursemayj replied to nursemayj's topic in General Nursing

   I guess the thing is I don't know what feels right to me without trying it and I don't want to jump from job to job for years. I thought if people gave the reasons why each particular specialty or unit was their favorite or least favorite than I coul...

4. Best nursing specialty to work in for NP school

   nursemayj replied to ChronicSG's topic in NP Students

   It really depends on the schedule you can get, I've only worked OR and I will say that when I worked OR in a small hospital the call made being in school rough. It was a lot but now I work in an outpatient surgery center and there's no call, no weeke...

5. Did I do something wrong?

   nursemayj replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

   I think you're doing the right thing, I think it was an easy misunderstanding and you were open as soon as they asked. Just keep cooperating and see what happens. It sounds like your thing was not only as a minor (which I am surprised is still on you...

   nursemayj posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have only worked in one specialty in nursing but was looking to expand and try something different-I still like what I do but I am ready. I would love to hear what your favorite and/or least favorite job or specialty is in nursing-I would also lov...

7. Advise wanted. Considering 2nd career as NP

   nursemayj replied to elmtree's topic in Advanced

   It sounds like nursing research would be your best bet. You can definitely do fast track programs and research wouldn't necessarily require practice experience, although you will have to do clinicals in school and those will include gross stuff and s...

8. Options Other Than NP

   nursemayj replied to hermioneRN's topic in Advanced

   I haven't done my APN degree yet but I am currently deciding and I would have loved to do MPH--I actually found a school in Maryland that offers a dual degree program with MPH and MSN and would have loved to jump on it but my kids are in school and w...

9. New to Camping-need help

   nursemayj replied to nursemayj's topic in Camp

   Thank you, great ideas!! Did you find the Camp Nursing book helpful? I looked it up and considered buying it but the description isn't clear on whether or not it gives actually helpful nursing information or if it's just about why camp nursing is gre...

    nursemayj posted a topic in Camp

    Hello. I have been a nurse for a few years but have limited pediatric and emergency experience. I have been looking into volunteering as a camp nurse but would like some advice on helpful resources. I am specifically looking for resources that would ...
