  1. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    I agree with the sentiments of pretty much everyone else. I was so saddened to hear about these nurses who were inflicted with the virus. It was a testament to the fact that nurses are usually the sacrificial lambs in the workplace. We are most likel...

  3. I work in one of the busiest nicus in a large city with a level 1 trauma and my nicu is a high functioning state of art nicu. All i can say is girl, i have BEEN there. I have seen nightmares with my own eyes you can't even begin to fathom. We have no...
  4. Intimidated new NICU nurse

    I got my job through a hook up. That's why networking is so important. They took me and plenty other new grads. In NYC
  5. thermoregulation in the neonate

    I agree with others. The bath should be delayed until at least 6 hrs after birth. There is no rush to bathe a baby. Skin to skin should be initiated immediately and the temp shouldve been taken prior to giving the bath.
  6. Why nurses eat their young?

    YES!!!! LOL
  7. Why nurses eat their young?

    It is not what you say, it is HOW you say it and unfortunately many have not mastered the art of correcting someone in a professional manner and in a way that isn't perceived as an attack. I don't think any reasonable person would be upset about bein...
  8. RN, BSN new grad NYC jobs?

    Get experience in GA first before applying to any jobs out here. The competition is very stiff with the over saturation of new grads in the job market pool who are all after the same thing. Getting at least one year experience will put you in an enti...

    I was a new grad with no experience when I first started, at least you have some experience. I felt intimidated as well!! It was all so very overwhelming all of the different diagnosis and everyyyything all that once. Don't worry, it eventually goes ...
  10. Why nurses eat their young?

    I don't think nurses eat their young. I think there are just some nasty people out there with chips on their shoulders who treat others poorly as a reflection of their own insecurities. It has nothing to do with seasoned nurses vs new grads. They're ...
  11. Family members recording nurses doing pt teaching

    We allow parents to take photos and record videos of their little ones but they are not allowed to film or take pictures of a procedure or staff members. I do not want to be filmed or photographed; it is my personal right. 2nd, it could later be used...

  13. How Can New Grad RN gain experience to land a job as a RN

    The recent hires at my job have been volunteers! It sucks to say that we are now in an age where simply just applying is not enough. It has become all about who you know. My advice would be to contact your local hospital's volunteer office, sign up t...
  14. NY Med (TV Show)

    I recently started watching the show and I love it! I have a couple friends that work at that hospital. They do amazing things there and I'm always drawn in to the stories I see.
  15. Hello everyone, I recently gave birth and I am already dreading going back to work! I work 3 12's/week which isn't so bad but my little one will only be 2 months old when I return and probably not sleeping through the night yet. I go back next month....
