  1. Board Vitals- I took AANP
  2. What is it like to be a Radiation Oncology Nurse?

    I know this is a very late response, wondering if you were offered the job and how it is going. My experience as a RadOnc nurse consists of a lot of patient education and symptom assessment as well as a ton of computer paperwork
  3. Pregnant Oncology Nurse

    I had a miscarriage worth one child (not blaming it in chemo but who knows ( when i got pregnant again i was moved to the renal hall and did not hang chemo. ...occasionally i double checked orders if i was the only other Chemo certified nurse, but ...
  4. HELP! I'm being pressured to lie at work...

    Do you not have access to the policies? If so, you could read them and if you need clarification you should ask your manager. Also, during the 8 months that you said you were pressured to sign off... did you ever requested training/literature???
  5. Is nursing worth it?

    Was very worth it for me. But you have to decide if it is right for you.
  6. Having Issues with pumping at work

    Yeah, I'd most definitely go above the charge nurse. Check your state laws and also see if your hospital has any specific policies. I was able to breastfeed for a whole year because my unit was very supportive.
  7. Part time Nursing shifts

    An office job
  8. RN's forced to do CNA work

    If we are down a tech and have an extra nurse, they assign a nurse to be a tech for the day. I guess they could just call the extra nurse off, but then we'd be extra short. I don't consider a CNA's job duties to be her's alone, so it doesn't bother m...
  9. Breastfeeding and 12 hour shifts...

    My LO is only 5 months but we are trying to go as long as we can exclusively breast feeding. I pump first thing in the morning, right before I leave to go to work, once during my 12 hour shift, and as soon as I get home in the morning. I also try to ...
  10. The only tuition reimbursement programs that I know of are at hospitals where you are already required to be an employee to qualify. And most have a stipulation that you must work there 6 or more months before qualifying
  11. IV start help!

    YES, what the above poster said.... once you get a flash....advance the NEEDLE just a pinch more BEFORE trying to advance the cath. AND make sure you UNTIE tourniquet before trying to flush. I personally untie as soon as I get a flash, then continu...
  12. Shift Assessment, Preceptor Questions, etc

    Most people look back at the last assessment...just don't copy it. An assessment is what you see, hear, feel....not what the last nurse did. But as a new nurse it's is sort of a reference. if you notice something not right on the last assessment, ...
  13. Employability of new grad nurses in Georgia

    This probably wont help you much at this point, but maybe it will help those people still in Nursing school.... The key to employability of a new grad is to work while in nursing school at a local hospital. This is like a 2 year interview...and if y...
  14. do you think I should be written up?

    Is this antibiotic only given 1 time per day (on your shift)? How could this go on for a whole month is what I am confused about. But regardless, I agree with the others...you are the licensed professional and responsible for overseeing those unlic...
  15. Help with injections

    Some people always jump or say ouch. Always PINCH the skin and go quickly. Patients have told me about nurses who just dart without pinching the skin....and that really upsets me because it causes much greater pain. Usually the Lovenox burns more a...
