1. New Nurse Horror Stories

   peacefulpeach replied to Baking Nurse's topic in Safety

   Geez. Who would have thought that you would need to worry about other people's actions in this way to nurse. I wouldn't have stayed either. Someone is likely to make an error and try to blame the worker attempting to follow the correct methods of ...

2. Required nurse minimum in night shift PACU Help!!!

   peacefulpeach replied to nurse4me8897's topic in Safety

   The standard ratio when caring for any patient in PACU is two RN's. There must be a second RN in the unit, not on call. Also, we only care for two clients at a time. If we care for an ICU patient, we would only care for that one patient. You must...

3. Narc count question

   peacefulpeach replied to tybutler74's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I hope your meeting today went well. I have only worked for one place of employment in my time as a nurse. But I do know that it is always important to see in writing for yourself what the policy is concerning what ever nursing procedure we have...

6. New Grad needs help for NCLEX

   peacefulpeach replied to rcnurse95's topic in NCLEX

   I'm sorry you have been having trouble. I know you can pass. I think that you have to make sure you control your anxiety concerning the test--easier said than done. But it is possible to calm yourself. I recommend this site if you have not discovered...

7. Quick Question About Weekend and Night Shift Differentials! :)

   peacefulpeach replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, that's crazy that you lose weekend diff if you want to work every weekend. You are filling a needed position that most hospitals have a hard time filling--hence the shift diff--and you get penalized for desiring to work all weekends. Crazy! J...

9. Question for all the L&D nurses....

   peacefulpeach replied to Lamissa21's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi, I work in the NICU and at night. While we have some slower nights, we also have fewer staff. I don't think that your night shift will be too slow. We get a lot of admissions on nights too. We keep very busy normally. That means are L and D unit i...

    peacefulpeach replied to hbug's topic in Florida

    I think most people go through what you have described. There are several ways to prepare. You have to find what works for you. I used a Saunders review book which came with a CD. The CD would allow you to test yourself randomly or by specific subjec...

11. CEU Changes in Florida

    peacefulpeach replied to Tweety's topic in Florida

    Someone asked if nursing classes count for CEU's and the answer is yes. When I last checked one 3 hour nursing class was all that was needed to meet the CEU requirement as far as the total 24 hrs; but of course there are specific CEU's required by F...

12. HIPAA violation or not..?

    peacefulpeach replied to traumaQN's topic in General Students

    I am surprised that both the hospital and school took such quick action. I am in agreement with the action because I know how many forms I signed prior to entering any clinical unit or hospital. I believe it is better for the student to learn this ...
