1. Home Infusion Per Diem

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to HendersonRN's topic in Infusion

   Iluvivt has given you a great run down of home infusions. Everything she has said was exactly the same for my last job. I also did per diem, the hours were always there whenever I wanted to work. I'll try to answer your questions from your last po...

4. The Circumcision Discussion

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Well, I found out in December that I was having a baby boy. He's due in just a few weeks now. I brought up the whole circ conversation with my husband (who was cut as a baby-he's 48 yo now) and he said he hadn't given it any thought. I'm happy to ...

5. Illegal mixing of Medication??

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to XY_RN's topic in Infusion

   When I worked Home Care and did infusions, everything came from our pharmacy mixed. Our pharmacy techs mixed our meds under hoods and they were always gloved, masked, and in gowns. Not sure how it is supposed to be where you are, I'm in VA and that...

6. I think I made a bad choice.

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to rant's topic in General Nursing

   I think you just need some experience and confidence. It will all come to you, it's still new though. Give it time and keep trying! What the heck is your preceptor talking about "was the amount of excrement livable"? I don't think it's ever okay t...

7. I just can't believe this one!

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

   Where were the officers? If this were an inmate then he should have had officers with him at all times. Our inmates go down to the OR all the time for surgeries and the officers are required to be in the OR with them. This isn't as much a problem ...

8. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hmmm....must be the military way. I was in the exact same situation at a Naval Hospital. My husband was not allowed to stay with me either. I had been up almost 48 hours as well. I was seriously afraid something would happen to my baby. I was told th...

9. Paramedics saying they are nurses---is this legal?

   SecuredFloorNurse replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

   Are they EMTs or Paramedics? Paramedics in VA have a lot more training and school time than an EMT. Paramedics here are taught more than just trauma and what to do in emergencies. EMTs are not.

10. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    SecuredFloorNurse replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN/LVN

    Wow, in VA where I practice as an LPN we do just about everything RNs do. I have been nursing for 9 years. I work on a Med-Surg/Tele floor and I work alone, yes, that's right alone, unless I have more than 6 patients. Which, by the way, is a staffing...

11. does prison nursing affect your home life?

    SecuredFloorNurse replied to sidney82's topic in Correctional

    I work on a secured floor at a hospital and we are locked in. We have officers here with us the whole time, never alone when we enter a patient's/inmate's room. As far as the name goes, we're not allowed to wear our badges ever. It's the policy. ...

12. States accepting ISU...I'm posting the list here.

    SecuredFloorNurse replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks for posting this. I live in VA and had planned to do EC, until recently VA said they wouldn't accept them anymore so I've been looking for an alternate way to get my RN without having to go to a classroom. I've been an LPN for 8 years and I'...
