   Needle Stick injury

   NurseKait_11 replied to Diadai2021's topic in General Nursing

   That is a possibility, but that alone should not deter you from becoming a nurse. Always just be careful and know how to safely dispose of a needle and be extra aware when using one so you don't poke yourself or others accidentally.

   Labor and delivery Scrubs

   NurseKait_11 replied to Soulchild's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Just stumbled across this post while browsing through the Scrubs/ Uniform thread! Yeah, basically you can wear anything you want! I have seen most nurses leave their work shoes at work and wear tennis shoes or other shoes to and from the hospital. I ...

   Professional References?

   NurseKait_11 replied to Casondra Altizer's topic in Job Hunt

   Yes you can absolutely use your preceptor, or clinical instructor! Definitely someone who can attest to your bedside skills, willingness to learn, team-player, takes feedback well, etc. Also, I definitely think the nurses you've worked with who saw y...

   University of Cincinnati WHNP Spring 2020

   NurseKait_11 replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in NP Students

   Hey EmilyRae08! Are you doing the WHNP program full time or part time? Do they give a part time option? I’m looking into WHNP programs possibly for the future!

   Choosing comfort over challenge, am I a bad nurse?

   NurseKait_11 replied to Superbabes's topic in NICU

   Stumbled upon this post late, but I am actually glad to see a post like this. I have thought a lot about this because I work in a Level IV NICU and we definitely get our fair share of mico-preemies and unstable patients but I enjoy the feeders and gr...

   Ever forgotten to feed a baby?

   NurseKait_11 replied to jennylee321's topic in NICU

   I worked this past Christmas Eve and the few shifts before then had been absolutely nuts. I was really nervous that my Christmas Eve shift would be crazy too so I was pretty anxious and just wanted a nice Christmas Eve at work. So, I guess because of...

   What's your favorite nursing task?

   NurseKait_11 replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am a NICU nurse and I have found that I love working with the 34-35 weeks preemies that are just learning how to drink from a bottle. Sometimes i feel like i take bottle feeding for granted with the older babies who know how to eat, but it gives me...

    L&D RN in DC/Maryland region

    NurseKait_11 replied to Hildog's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you, I hope you have good luck too! I interviewed there in September of 2017! I was told that it's extremely busy and once you transfer a patient you'll likely get another soon after. It was a pretty large unit. I think the ratio was 2 patients...

    MSN Options for Women's Health

    NurseKait_11 replied to NurseKait_11's topic in Post Graduate

    Let me see if I can clarify. I have been doing research on MSN options, as I'd like to pursue a higher degree. If I did, and MSN in education may be something I am interested in, as a clinical instructor or maybe a part-time teacher at a school. I se...

    NurseKait_11 replied to JuliannaJ's topic in NICU

    Hey there! First off, congrats on your upcoming graduation! I just completed my first year as a NICU new grad and glad I came across your post. I honestly think that if NICU or infant care is what you want right off the bat, then go for it. I found t...

    MSN Options for Women's Health

    NurseKait_11 posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Hey all, I am a new grad nurse (graduated this past May) and am looking to get my MSN sometime in the future. I am leaning towards getting an MSN in education, but not sure I want to teach at a school or be a staff educator in a hospital. I am very p...
