2. Hospitals don't pay, but I need experience!

   PedsRN1991 replied to Sarahtonin's topic in General Nursing

   Have you checked out what hospitals pay??? I would think that you would make more in a hospital than a SNF. Seems weird to me.....but I haven't checked out the pay of a LPN. How about staff relief (per diem) at a hospital....that pays more than staff...

5. vomiting: reflux, rotavirus, or NGT feed problems

   PedsRN1991 replied to jess41378's topic in Pediatric

   I don't think the vomitting is a rota issue. However, it sounds like she is probably not being overly careful with hygiene between the twins. I know it must be hard with 2 babies....but it will keep going back and forth. The vimitting could be a refl...

7. Guilt over other nurse's med error

   PedsRN1991 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

   Always think of mistakes as learning. You know what mistake was made, just be vigilant now not to do the same. You are new and scared and it is normal. I agree with the advice from the above posters too. (((HUGS))).

13. fun with kids

    PedsRN1991 replied to deepurple's topic in Pediatric

    I work peds/peds oncology. I love peds and would never go back to adults. You don't feel "pity" for kids when they are in the hospital, because you are working to get them better. Kids don't hold grudges. They are the best to work with. Remember, the...
