1. Mentorship agreement/articulated plan in Colorado

   I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in NP

   I also moved from Texas, and was surprised at the difference between the two regulating bodies. There are advantages and disadvantages to both models, but I couldn't believe that they didn't do a background check on me. I think Colorado DORA really n...

   I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in NP

   Since there was no response I ended up making my own. I'm uploading it just in case someone else could use it. Please note that I am hospital based, and my attending physician is there all day, every day.

7. CCRN

   I see you RN replied to Suri08's topic in CCU

   I'm using the Pass CCRn and the Gasparis DVDs. I like them in conjunction because she gives a nice overveiw and tips on what will actually be on the test, then I look through the book to get more in depth. No guarantees, though, I don't take the test...

   We're phleb axis people on our NICU. I'll be interested to see what research comes out to support zeroing at the tragus. We also use 3% saline and mannitol; I've never seen a higher concentration of saline ordered. We don't have a standard practice r...

9. Being assertive

   I see you RN replied to cuteinpinkNS's topic in General Nursing

   I have a lot of self-confidence and have spent a lot of time thinking about my professional relationships, but I still find myself in situations where it is hard to speak up. An easy short cut if it's a patient that you want to protect: what would I...

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in General Nursing

11. Any night shifters split the difference?

    I see you RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    This week I am starting on nights. I'll usually be working three in a row, always on weekends. Rather than try to make the 12 hour flip-flop from days to nights I want to try to stay up until midnight or 0100 on my days off. Because it is during the ...

14. Night Shift Schedules...how does yours work?

    I see you RN replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    These shifts sound really hard to work. I'm at Baylor and have decided to go to the two day alternative. I'll be working every Saturday and Sunday night. That's considered a full time schedule there, but I want to pick up an extra shift so I'll also ...

15. How long until shingles crust? I wanna work!

    I see you RN replied to I see you RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the kick in the bootie. Today is Sunday, my PCP isn't open, but I will make an appointment with him first thing in the morning. Sadly, I just moved across the metroplex so it's going to be an hour drive, and I haven't found a new one yet. ...
