Yay team!!

It seems that hospital case management i a great thing in the midwest. I have a friend who got in with no experience. I have 8 years of experience here in Florida, and they are always interested...

Everyone was so helpful with my last topic! My friend and I were talking about Newborn Nursery Nurses and several questions came to mind. First...how do you feel about the training that Newborn...

Thanks everyone! Everything helps!! :up:

Thanks! I reposted over there!

Hi! I am looking for some information. A friend of mine is doing some research to help change the way they do things at their hospital's newborn nursery. She needs information on first baths...

I have to agree with you, Brandy! I am 51 and am NOT interested in a BSN or MSN at this point of my life. The money that would have to go out would not be justified! I am hoping that afjgnp has...

No need to apologize. Soemtimes I think that someone in the same profession is the only one who can truly understand how it is to be in a position that causes great pain, but also the thought of...

Dear afjgnp...I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems and I know where you are coming from! I can totally understand your frustration. I, too, am in a similar situation. I have been...

I totally agree that it is quite challenging to change specialties in nursing. Yes...there are many options for nurses to choose from, but (and I speak from experience here) once you go into a...

Been there and done that! After we were concerned about a new hire that wasn't doing well and was having a bad attitude when questioned, we started digging into her references, etc! Turns out her...

I have to say that it is a little of both. Although I have been looking for a job as a full time RN for over two years, part of my problem is finding a job that I can do as I have a spinal cord...

I can definitely understand how you feel but having 30 years of exprience and no BSN gets me the same rejection. There is no happy medium.

My backround is in NICU and Pediatric DME Case Management and Home Care. I have 2 herniated discs and spinal cord compression from C5 to C7. I have nerve impingement at C7 that is controlled with...

I am currently working with a pediatric home health care company, but due to the weight lift restrictions, I have very slim pickings. I have not had anything in a month. I currently am lucky enough...

Hi. I am an RN with the exact problem as you, but on my right side. I have bulging discs at C5-6 and C6-7 with nerve impingement at C7 and a compressed spinal cord. I have been lucky that epidural...

My dear friend. I wish I could say that I don't know what you are going through, but I do. I have been fighting these demons for over 11 years. They have always found a way to keep me just out of...

Unfortunately this is one of the reasons I left the NICU 10 years ago. Having had a 1:1 pt., four vents (all on pressors/2 on HFO), and four feeder growers with 3rd, 7th and 10th admission proved...

Thank you, Jerenemarie! :yeah: They make such a big deal in the hospitals about pain management, documentation, relief, etc. Yet we have been dealing with Fibro for so many years that we know our...

Being an RN has been hard for me. I was diagnosed with FM in 1986. I was attacked by a patient in the ER and after being out for 2 and a half years with horrific pain and being sent to...

I have discs that bulge at C5-6 and C6-7. They were 5.1mm and 5.7mm and now, with the help of an excellent chiropractor, they are down to 4.0mm each. The neurosurgeon wanted to remove both discs...

Thanks so much for all of the encouragement and good ideas. Sometimes I swear I can't see the forest through the trees anymore! I always welcome outside sight to help me see the whole picture. ...

Hi to all. I am new here and am finding these threads quite helpful. Here is my problem. I was attacked by a patient in 1984. I ended up with severe neck issues. I was out of work for 2 and a...
