4. Relocation to Tampa

   Trisaratops replied to GabbyDelafuente's topic in Pediatric

   Hi, I did this (several years ago, but I did it!). I highly suggest you get your FL RN license before you start applying. I didn't have any issues, but it did take longer than in MA and ME (where I started) By and large, I found that most people di...

5. Sentinal event

   Trisaratops replied to NursKris's topic in Psychiatric

   How often do the techs do checks? On our adult units we have noted that most completed suicides happen around shift change in the afternoon. The room door are closed, groups are scheduled and we do q5 min checks. I'm sorry this happened

   Also I would suggest seeing if you can take ELNEC PPC -end of life nursing education consortium for pediatric palliative care. Going to th site where it is taught will connect you with those already in the field and you can network tht way.

7. Peds Hospice

   Trisaratops replied to kwoerne1's topic in Pediatric

   Hi, I used to work at a pediatric hospice. Like others have said, it's a pretty small population. We were a new company and building a business revolving around kids dying is really hard. Most of the kiddos we got were babies with heart defects (amo...

    So who are your favorite patients? I had known this lady from prevous admissions and went to draw labs from her port. She did fine until I locked it, and because of the location she went unresponsive and later was discovered as being a massive seizur...

    I used to work for a home health agency. We got a book to do admissions and give to the client. The first thin. I did with SocS was go over it and get thrm to sign consent. I used to say thst legally I can't touch you until this is signed.

13. When to start applying?

    Trisaratops replied to Denali_25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm going to echo everyone else. Once is tough, and if it's remotely like the unit I was an aide on, they put a ton of time and effort to training you. That said, your skills will transfer well. Cancer patients get sick fast and having seasoned asses...

14. Psych nursing is easy

    Trisaratops replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Psychiatric

    I wish that we could all just get along. Psych is not easy. It's a different kind of intense. Long term care is not easy. Try doing a med pass for 60 residents, doing treatments, ect ect... Private duty is not easy. For every minute that is like "bab...
