    RN with 25+ years burnout. What next?

    Ahh, the golden handcuffs. I would recommend really looking at the benefit she may be losing and comparing it to the benefits she could be gaining. Does she also pay into a 401k or 403b? I know some companies starting transitioning even their pension...

    Midline Usage

    Does your facility have a policy for using them? My facility allows us to give extravasating medications (like pressors) and we can use them for blood draws. They are not considered central lines and thus do not count for CLABSIs. We use them a lot. ...

    how to use fishbone for lab

    Have you tried to look up the images for the fishbones? There are several fishbones out there, depending on which labs you are using them for. Which ones are you hoping to use and how can we help you use them?

    Peg Tube Feeding

    I've seen patient's go from minimal residuals to high residuals, though not quite that drastically. It is possible to have more than what was administered due to the normal gastric secretions her body would be producing to digest the tube feeding, th...

    RN, ADN being obsolete

    That really depends on where you are in PA. I'm in central PA at a local hospital and we just hired a ton of new graduate ADN RN's into multiple departments in our hospital. We have tons of open positions and dozens of travelers being used in order t...

    My school is Unaccredited

    I've never been licensed in NY or NJ, so I'm not sure of their requirements. You should be able to find that information on their board of nursing websites or by contacting their board of nursing directly.

    My school is Unaccredited

    Some states only go by the first school you got your nursing education in. They will want to know that your initial nursing education came from an accredited school. The only way to know about getting into an accredited BSN program after you complete...

    Finding a job

    How long has it been since you finished school and taken your NCLEX? If there has been a long gap, I can understand there being concerned about how long it's been since you finished school. If it has been a while, have you done anything in that time ...

    My school is Unaccredited

    Another thing to consider is that you may not be able to obtain a RN license in another state (by endorsement) if they require you to have completed your education at an accredited school. How far are you into this program? Have you considered transf...

    My school is Unaccredited

    But the program does have to be approved by the board of nursing. Have you verified with the board of nursing that this program is approved by them (and not going off the word of the program)?

    I failed A&P I - Need Some Advice

    Another option is to look to see if there is another school in your area (community college maybe) that offers A&P I in the spring and then A&P II in the fall and see if you can take the classes there and have them transfer the credit to your...

    Does this nursing diagnosis makes any sense?

    When I was in nursing school, we were told to never use a medical diagnosis (Diabetes or DKA for example) in our nursing diagnosis. So, instead of it being a knowledge deficit r/t diabetes, we would say a knowledge deficit r/t management of blood glu...

    My wife

    There seems to be a lot missing from this. The hospital can refuse to allow visitors if that is in the best interest of the pateint at that time. As for the money, that is something different. Legally, they cannot refuse life saving treatment. Right ...
