  2. New nurse needs help finding a new non-bedside job?

    First of all, hugs to you. Being a new grad nurse is hard, especially in intensive care. I don't know how you NICU nurses do it! Everyone on this site has gone through it and we are here for you. Second, I can't give you specific advice on finding a...

  5. Best Medical App?

    Hello all! Happy Tuesday ? I am an ACNP student and I was wondering if any NPs could give me recommendations on which medical app to use to aid in patient diagnosis/management? Currently, I am between Epocrates and Up-To-Date. Any advice is appreci...
  6. CCRN exam and Laura Gasparis lecture

    You are not stupid or an idiot, and its okay to feel embarrassed sometimes. I have been a nurse for ten years, away from the bedside for four years, and just recently started back on a busy intermediate ICU. I feel the same sometimes. We all do som...

    Please do not get a dog. I am a dog - lover and have made this mistake myself. All dogs need attention, activity, and love every day or they can become anxious and destructive. Then, people end up giving them back to a shelter because of "behavior...
  11. Update on my extremely boring question - in my interview, the manager asked me if I had any scheduled vacation in the near future and said my request was totally fine. I accepted the offer today and I'm excited to start in January! Intermediate ICU...

  14. Flu Shot = Sick

    Ethical and religious exemptions to the vaccine exist, but usually you must submit it way in advance of the vaccination deadline and you have to have a legitimate reason to be exempt. Experiencing established side effects of the vaccine is not one o...

    I forgot to give report to dayshift on my first rapid response in the ICU, which we got right before shift change...the charge nurse had to stay over and give it for me! I didn't even realize it. I got an earful when I came back that night...
