1. New NP looks for Conferences

   BrwnEyedNurs posted a topic in NP

   I am a new NP and I am just wondering where everyone finds conferences to go to. I found the NP/PA Advance List of state conferences for 2013. Also, recommendations for good conferences or companies that provide good continuing education opportunit...

2. Help me

   BrwnEyedNurs replied to BrwnEyedNurs's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for your replies. I know when I think rationally that I am ok...but it still concerned me. I'm not exactly sure how I did it either. I didn't think the spikes on the end of our tubes were that sharp. I was having trouble getting the...

3. Help me

   BrwnEyedNurs posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I have a question. I'm really just looking for reassurance I guess. Today, while I was at work I accidently cut myself with the IV spike when I was re-spiking a bag of fluids. The patient had been hooked up to these fluids all day and they were ...

4. Confused about which state to apply in

   BrwnEyedNurs replied to BrwnEyedNurs's topic in NCLEX

   How about if I remain a Virginia resident? (The hospital is just right over the state line). Then should I still apply for a TN license even though I am a resident of Virginia? Additionally, if I then move to TN at a later date would that change an...

   BrwnEyedNurs posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hi, this is probably a silly question but. . . I live in virginia and just accepted a job in Tennessee. Which state to I apply for licensure in? I believe that both va and tn are compact states. If I apply in VA then will my license be valid to w...

6. Suggestions from IDDM nurses that are working with diabetes

   BrwnEyedNurs replied to Hairstylingnurse's topic in Endocrine

   First of all, let me start off by saying that I'm a nursing student and a type I diabetic. Even though I'm not a nurse yet I'll give you a little insight as to what I do. First of all I am on the insulin pump so if this is an option for you, you mi...

   BrwnEyedNurs replied to rls2004's topic in General Students

   I know what you are going through, I am in a similar situation myself. I recently graduated with a BS in accounting and started nursing classes this summer. I also have very high medical costs due to type I diabetes which I manage with the insulin ...

8. Question about titers

   BrwnEyedNurs replied to BrwnEyedNurs's topic in General Students

   My titers came back fine all my immunizations are working well. One word of advice: if something doesn't seem right to you question it. Both mistakes with my titers were simple. Hep. B-1st time they check for surface antibody instead of surface a...

9. Question about titers

   BrwnEyedNurs replied to BrwnEyedNurs's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the replies. I rechecked with my doc and they got out a big book of lab tests and looked it up and apparently they tested for the wrong things with the hep B and varicella. They checked to see if I had the disease rather than immunit...

10. Question about titers

    BrwnEyedNurs posted a topic in General Students

    I just got the results back from my titers for school and I am very confused. My rubella was great (last vaccine was about 12 years ago) Hep. B was non reactive! (I just got vaccinated 4 years ago!) Varicella was pretty low 0.18 (I had a severe ca...

13. Should New RN list nonRN experience on job apps?

    BrwnEyedNurs replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    W I'm only 22 and I am not a mother, but I don't think that their's anything wrong with being a stay at home mom. I sure that you didn't mean to sound so condescending. I know a lot of women have to work and can't devote as much time to their ch...

14. Also Ran Careers... what did you decide against before choosing nursing

    BrwnEyedNurs replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    Quite a few of you considered being a CPA? That's funny b/c I graduated with a BS in accounting this past May and now I am going to nursing school :) I realized before my last semester that accounting wasn't for me...but I decided to go ahead and g...

    I am a type I diabetic and I have been on an insulin pump for about a year. I will be starting clinicals this fall. I would like to know if anyone is taking any extra precautions to prevent their infusion site from being exposed to germies?
