1. NICU to nurse educator?

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in NICU

   I am an RN with my bachelor's. I'm working in a NICU which I really enjoy. I've always thought about graduate school, but I'm not sure what I'd want to do. I'm not terribly excited about the possibility of NNP. I enjoy doing teaching with parents, an...

2. New job!

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in NICU

   I've been a nurse for a few years, and I'm starting a new job in the NICU this week. I've wanted to do NICU for a long time but there weren't the jobs before, so I've been working with adults. I'm so excited to finally get to work with babies, but I'...

3. What do you say to people thinking about nursing?

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a nurse for 4 years. I work on a busy med/surg unit. The question is specifically because of a friend of mine. He's 28 years old, still in college, not really sure what he wants to do. He got a bachelor's in biology with the intention to ...

4. I work with children

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

   No, actually I do not work with children. But if I told you my stories, you wouldn't believe me. I haven't even been a nurse that long, but every day I'm convinced we age backwards. Not in the humorous, old people wear diapers and take naps kind of w...

5. Antidepressants

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in Hospice

   I am working with long-term care patients, and some hospice patients. One of my hospice patients is very confused, very tired, and is on hospice for failure to thrive and dementia. Recently, as part of a standard assessment, she tested positive in a ...

6. Resources?

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in Hospice

   I'm here to ask for your best resources for hospice care. I'm looking for research on end of life and I couldn't find much about it. I want to know more about the common issues that come up with end-of-life care, expected and problematic. Also, if th...

7. End of Life care for beginners

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in Hospice

   I'm a fairly new nurse, and just starting out at an SNF. First off, I love my job, I love my residents and my coworkers :) Today was my first personal experience with a patient death. I've had patients I've cared for die, but they've always managed t...

8. Calling in RX?

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in Nebraska

   So, at my clinic, I was made aware that before I started and after the old nurse left, a coworker used to call in prescriptions for the nurse practitioner. This coworker of mine has no medical background, and is essentially a secretary for the clinic...

9. Considering military...?

   jeyre1847 posted a topic in Government

   First, I'm sure there's a bajillion similar posts, so I'm sorry for the redundant post. I didn't see something that quite described what I was looking for. I'm a registered nurse with BSN. Ideally, I'd like to work in pediatrics, or possibly somethin...

10. What's the weirdest baby name?

    jeyre1847 replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For all the Abcde's, to me it not only looks funny, but sounds funny, too. I think the first part sounds like "absent", so I could imagine Abcde being very absent-minded. But that's just me. Awhile somebody was talking about drug names that would wor...

11. What's the weirdest baby name?

    jeyre1847 replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    dobbie, as in the magical house elf? well, i think in harry potter it's spelled dobby but still! i also think it would be difficult with them named so similarly, ie dobbie, dolly, donny and donna.

12. 2012 Nurse Residency Program at Vanderbilt

    jeyre1847 replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee

    Well, now, that sucks for the rest of the new grads who didn't get hired during the summer. Bleh. Seems to be the story pretty much everywhere.

13. They're just not that into you

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you've ever read the book or seen the movie, you may remember some of the crazy things people tell themselves and what they do to get a little attention. I've found myself doing similar things, but not with men. With HR offices. I recently woke up...

14. 2012 Nurse Residency Program at Vanderbilt

    jeyre1847 replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee

    I feel kind of stupid even asking this. I read a lot about it, then I just filled out the application. I know when I was looking earlier I found the forms and a list of things needed to apply. Now I can't seem to find anything. I just did the applica...

    jeyre1847 replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If this thread can keep going for another 8 months (which I don't see being a problem at all), it will be 10 years old.
