  1. Going that extra mile ... literally

    Oh my gosh - my last employer was the complete opposite. If you were going to be late to work during a weather emergency, so long as you called ahead and got there within an hour of your scheduled start time, not only would you not be penalized but y...
  2. Best time to remove an Indwelling catheter.

    The past few placed I worked we pulled them at the end of the night shift any time after 0600. Doesn't interrupt sleep too badly, plenty of time left during the day for us to monitor voiding / intervene if there's any urinary retention, etc.

    Most of the hospitals in my area will hire nursing students as nurse's aids so long as they have completed one or two semesters of nursing school. However SARs and LTCs will only hire those with the CNA certification; I think this is due to different...
  9. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or guidance for me? I'm a twenty-nine year old RN entering the final semester of an RN to BSN program. My goal after getting my BSN was to try to enlist in either the Air Force or the Army Reserves. The recrui...
