2. Going to CVICU!

   hbshearer, rn posted a topic in CCU

   So, I just got my transfer request accepted to go to CVICU from med/surg -oncology, which is all I know. I am a fast learner and very dedicated....just wondering if the seasoned professionals have any recommendations to prepare myself for this transi...

3. Where do you get childcare?

   hbshearer, rn posted a topic in General Nursing

   Just wondering if there are any nurses affiliated with military or just away from friends and family who have had a difficult time finding care for their little ones for those 12 hour shifts. My husband is military but has been on shore duty for the ...

4. Tummy Tuck and BA- going back to work

   hbshearer, rn replied to hbshearer, rn's topic in General Nursing

   So, yes, I don't feel that her preop teaching was sufficient.....but as a nurse, I have to take some blame in the sense that I should have looked up weight limitations for this procedure. She did an excellent job with my surgery; couldn't be any happ...

   I think that's the right term; it's more like management of care. The hospital I used to work at would have a hospice nurse that made rounds on the inpatient hospice pts and home hospice pts, ensuring that the primary nurse has everything she/he need...

   So does anyone have any experience with leave of absences? I have been employed with this hospital for 10 months; I had moved from VA last year, but I have excellent rapport with my managers and coworkers and no history of call outs or penalties. Do ...

7. Tummy Tuck and BA- going back to work

   FutureCRNA, Definitely ask in specific because I told her about my work environment and she said 2-3 weeks, but then gives a weight restriction at my 2 week po appt. Partly my fault for not asking in advance...

   hbshearer, rn replied to hbshearer, rn's topic in General Nursing

   Elkpark, That is exactly what I was worried about. I have never been someone who relies on others to do my work; frankly, I feel kind of ridiculous that I didn't ask my ps about weight restrictions....so frustrating.

9. How can I stop caring about catty nurses?

   hbshearer, rn replied to snowyeyes2's topic in Relations

   Geez, it sounds like they have nothing better to do. If you're doing your job, then they should be happy to have you. We have a couple of cna/pct's that try to find ways to get out of doing their job so I appreciate it when I have a hardworking assi...

    Thanks, I think I will call her this week and see what she says. I feel great, I just don't want to mess anything up or put myself in a bad position.

    hbshearer, rn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, It's been a while since I have been on this site; I actually had to make a new profile. I work on a busy med/surg/onc unit and took 3 weeks off to get a tummy tuck and breast aug. My surgeon cleared me for work with the exception that I lift ...
