    Call in sick over cut on hand?

    When in doubt, ask your employee health department. Were you ordered to keep it dry? Is it bandaged? Can you do proper hand hygiene?
  2. I ALWAYS look at the vial of medication after I pull it from Pyxis, and again before I administer it. ALWAYS. Do you not?

    What can make me a strong L&D applicant?

    I would have a good "elevator speech" prepared about why you want to work in L&D (e.g. "I had such great nurses when I had my baby and it inspired me to become a nurse so I could provide the same great care to other new moms”). I would join AWHON...

    Interested in L&D, but worried I won't be a "good fit"

    You don't need to be an extrovert to work in L&D. You need to be comfortable providing ongoing patient education, which involves engaged discussion.
  6. It depends on the facility. All units should strive to follow AWHONN staffing guidelines, which is typically 1:1 in labor, unless they are cervical ripening, in which case 1:2 is appropriate.
  7. The answer is yes, because at some point there is always going to be a non-nurse at the top. In my last 2 jobs as a manager, my immediate supervisor was a non-RN. At my last job, there were clinic managers within our network who were the direct super...

    Vacation denied

    That's a tough one. My recommendation is to ask your manager if they would be willing to make an exception to trade shifts with someone this one time in order to be in your sister's wedding. If they cannot/will not make an exception to allo...

    I can't understand how compact licenses work!

    You can work in any compact state with a compact license. However, your compact license needs to originate from the state you currently reside in. If you are planning to move to LA, you will need to apply for a Louisiana license once you are there (a...

    TeleHealth

    Every organization is different. But yes, many organizations allow you to be employed with them from another state. You must have a nursing license in the state where the organization is located and/or where the patients are located. So if you're pro...

    How to deal with CNA insubordination?

    You document every instance, and send it to your supervisor. It's not your responsibility to address performance issues, have coaching conversations, or provide disciplinary action. That is the job of your/the CNA's manager.
