  1. Psych nursing might not be for you.
  2. The red flag for me is when you mentioned what you didn't like about psych peds as a new grad nurse. To quote the literature: "It is very important to consider the implications of PRN medications, especially as related to litigation, patie...
  3. Nurse Sosa, I know you just got here, but what could you have done to prevent this?
  4. If a hospital can charge close to $1000 for an IVP, they can cough up better health insurance options. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/06/28/1007198777/a-hospital-charged-more-than-700-for-each-push-of-medicine-through-her-IV
  5. OP, do what makes you happy and what makes sense for your life situation. Even in the hospital, you get nurses who think they are superior to other departments like ICU > med-surg. Personally, I think you may have a future advantage securing...

    Experience for LNC??

    Taking a course is always a great idea in my opinion. The real questions are how can you compete with others that have years of experience? How can you prove to attorneys that you have the ability to help them win cases? You need to underst...

    The Color of Care

    Nursing/medical textbooks definitely need to show pictures with variations and how to assess. I once read somewhere that even medical students do not get this in their training.

    I'm not trying to discourage the OP, but I'm a bit confused here...if the first job caused anxiety attacks, but was higher acuity, wouldn't the ER do the same?

    Orlando pay for experienced RN?

    Hey all, I see many posts about new grad RN pay questions, but I'd like to know how much RNs with over 10 years experience get? I have 13 as a RN and 4 as LPN (so 17 years total of nursing). I have a BSN and CMSRN if it makes a difference in that ma...
  10. We don't need more research that attempts to figure out how one nurse can safely give meds to 20-30 residents in a two hour window. It simply cannot be done and it's absurd to continue to think it can be done. Lets look at some math: If I had twenty ...

    RN NEW TO WORKERS COMP CM

    WC has very specific language and laws. I'd start with a Google search of your state work comp laws/regs. As someone who's done WC, you definitely need to be aware of this stuff. They really should be formally training you on this!

    After 5 years of bedside, I just can't anymore.

    As someone who has changed jobs for lifestyle reasons, yes I'd say look elsewhere. There's more to life than just your job and I have been clinical and nonclinical.

    Hiring an RN into private practice

    Curious MD, why not just try posting online on a popular job search site and specifically state this job would be great for retirees? What's the worst that can happen? Either someone is interested, or they are not.
