1. Remote nurse working while in another state?

   RNgemini posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am starting a new remote job and I live in a compact state and have a compact license. Are there any laws against working while visiting a state that I’m not licensed in? I’m traveling to NY for a medical appt and was hoping to take my work with me...

2. How many phone calls do you get as a bedside nurse?

   RNgemini replied to RNgemini's topic in General Nursing

   We have a unit clerk and she takes calls, but only then to call me and ask if she can transfer a call to me. That would be amazing if our unit clerk was an RN! I think that would lighten the amount of phone calls by a mile.

3. How many phone calls do you get as a bedside nurse?

   RNgemini posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work on a busy tele floor. We get 6 patients to a nurse and the acuity can be pretty high (we have stroke, STEMI, dialysis patients). Lately I felt like the number of phone calls I receive has been getting very high. On my last shift, I felt like a...

4. New grad relocating after 10 weeks orientation

   RNgemini replied to RNgemini's topic in General Nursing

   At this point it wouldn't make sense for us to live apart. We've had a home together for 4 years, and it would be like starting from scratch and rebuying everything we own to have 2 separate houses.

5. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

   RNgemini replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in New Nurse

   Hi everyone! Looking for some advice on what I can expect with my situation. I'm a new grad RN, and I started working on a med surg floor 10 weeks ago. I still have 2 more weeks of orientation on my floor. I also just found out that my fiancee's job ...

7. Hospice patient is requesting food, but the family denies her

   RNgemini replied to RNgemini's topic in General Nursing

   I wasn't there during the speech evaluation, but from what I've seen she does still have the ability to swallow. We have been using a tootette to moisten her mouth and she swallows when I do that. She does have the occasional cough with it thought. T...

8. Hospice patient is requesting food, but the family denies her

   RNgemini posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work in home health care as a CNA (I am a new grad RN though, still looking for a job) and I have a new client who is now on hospice. Her condition rapidly declined after she broke her hip and had surgery. She has severe dementia, is incontinent, a...
