2. License question

   MrsICURN14 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in Texas

   Thank you. Unfortunately I can't get a PRN job as I only worked in a hospital setting for 6mo before quitting. I was doing part time for a private duty company after quitting the hospital and I guess I could pick up a shift here and there once my son...

3. License question

   MrsICURN14 posted a topic in Texas

   I have searched all over the Texas BON website and cannot find the answer to my question. I'm currently a stay at home mom and was licensed in June of 2014. How long can I stay out of the work field before my license expires from lack of working? Is...

   I should also add that my experience giving birth is what has influenced me to want to get into L&D!!

5. L&D after time off

   MrsICURN14 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hey ladies, So I'm currently a stay at home mom with my newborn. I planned to stay home until about 6 months and then start looking for a job. I am still a new nurse, I graduated in 2014 and have only worked as an RN for about 6mo in a hospital. I wo...

6. Should I wait to have a baby?

   MrsICURN14 replied to AHobbs's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wouldn't do it. I graduated with my BSN may 2014 and had my first baby last month. There's no way I could have made it through school with a baby. And clinicals plus late nights studying and stressful tests would have been awful while pregnant. Pe...

8. Pulse Ox

   MrsICURN14 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in Private Duty

   Both of my patients require O2 sats as part of the daily vitals, and one patient is new and we are waiting on the DME to send a pulse ox to the home. My other patient has one in the home but it's a POS and sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Seem...

9. Pulse Ox

   MrsICURN14 posted a topic in Private Duty

   This might be a really dumb question, but I am wondering if I can use my regular pocket pulse ox on pedi patients? Or will I need to buy a special pediatric one? Right now my patients are 10mo, and 5 y/o.

10. Losing Skills?

    MrsICURN14 replied to MrsICURN14's topic in Private Duty

    I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel that my GN internship in the ICU helped me a lot, but those skills are like anything else If you don't use it you lose it!

11. Losing Skills?

    MrsICURN14 posted a topic in Private Duty

    I'm a new RN. Graduated with my BSN last May. I worked in the ICU for 6mo but couldn't handle the 2 hour commute and working nights. I'm almost 7mo pregnant and now working pediatric PDN. I'm afraid I'm losing my skills, but I don't want another ac...

12. Your Opinion

    MrsICURN14 replied to Oriolesgal119's topic in General Nursing

    I was trying to conceive and having problems during my OB rotation in school. For that reason, I HATED my OB class and rotation. All it did was remind of what I so badly wanted and couldn't have. I'm pregnant now, a year later, but before I got pre...
