  1. ADN Salary Houston

    Nunya replied to htxnanna's topic in General Nursing

    Check on GlassDoor. I worked in Houston for 6 months in 2013 and I was very pleased with the salary, but I have a BSN and had 30 years experience at that

  2. Transition to bedside shift reporting

    Nunya replied to BRoBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Since you're stuck and essentially being forced to do this I think this is a good idea. You have to get across nicely to the patient that report time isn't a time to ask for things and have one nurse...

  3. AD Air Force Nurse Question

    Nunya replied to Kerkyon's topic in Government, Military

    This was from April, so not quite 97%. I would do everything you can to ensure you get promoted: certifications, volunteer work, committees etc cuz you just never know how it'll go. Not to mention...

  4. Transition to bedside shift reporting

    Nunya replied to BRoBSN's topic in General Nursing

    It will probably help your patient satisfaction scores but it sure won't help your staff satisfaction scores. And what does it mean when you say HR is working with you on OT? Staff gets OT pay if...

  5. RN's required to be sitters???

    Nunya replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling that some people commenting have never been sitters for a 12 hour shift, especially on nights. I've done it, and I'd rather use vacation time. At least I was allowed to read or look...

  6. How to deal with Nosy Co-Workers?

    Nunya replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    You must have missed the part where she was essentially being harassed for getting a new car when her old one was perfectly fine and then the PSW was trying to shame her for getting a new car because...

  7. Transition to Nurse Supervisor

    Nunya replied to athey1999's topic in General Nursing

    What JKL33 just said. You can't make changes if the manager is listening to the less experienced nurses and won't let you. You would definitely need to be on the same page as the manager as to...

  8. Inventive Staffing - Outpatient clinic?

    Nunya replied to opal6779's topic in General Nursing

    You could have more and later evening hours and the nurses with kids to homeschool could work then. I'm sure they'd love that (LOL) and of course you'd have to get the providers to sign off on this....

  9. Taking Vacations

    Nunya replied to caal19's topic in General Nursing

    A trick I learned by making the schedule is if you do nights and days try to give people a 4 day weekend off when going from days to nights. So they work Thursday days, off at 1900, then off F-S-S-M...

  10. As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    Nunya replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    It's normal to have "additional duties as assigned" but no, this isn't normal, at least not in hospitals. To me this shows disorganization and an inability to keep workers. It might be a nice break...

  11. Considering a career change from Pharmacist to Nurse (and eventually NP.. hopefully)

    Nunya replied to thisaintnoregularhcp's topic in General Nursing

    Your concern for med school is your grades but they (and your pharm experience) might get you into a foreign med school in the Caribbean. A friend went many many years ago to one in the Dominican...

  12. Ethics question, risky nurse, reckless behavior

    Nunya replied to griffeysnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I actually would quit now, before it comes to bite YOU in the butt for knowing this nurse isn't doing her job. And I would notify the BON. And Corporate. And

  13. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    Nunya replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    I always thought you had to give some sort of report when transferring patients. Imo throwing a chart at someone when you being a patient to a floor isn't report. It may prevent back up in an ER but...

  14. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    Nunya replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    Is this legal? I'd be calling state BON. And when the patients get frustrated because you don't know the answer to their questions immediately say that you didn't get verbal report and you have to...

  15. Asked to meet with defense counsel to clarify documentation

    Nunya replied to May82's topic in General Nursing

    This answer should be copy/pasted to every legal question here. Even if it doesn't necessarily answer someone's question (it does here, don't get me wrong), it should still be read. It might even be...

  16. BSN: Join Military VS GS employee (Civilian)

    Nunya replied to sugarbunny3's topic in General Nursing

    You can look up pay online. As far as I know unless you're ROTC the military wants you to have a year's experience, and I think it would be hard to get a GS job without that also. If your join the...

  17. medic alert alarm

    Nunya replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    Well that doesn't help if she's in a home and the relative/friend is unavailable. Thanks for the

  18. medic alert alarm

    Nunya replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad everything turned out fine with you! I have a question, how do paramedics get in the house? I've thought about this for my mom for when I go back to work but if she falls and can't get up...

  19. Single parent working 12 hour shifts

    Nunya replied to Leolly's topic in General Nursing

    I understand VB is "home" but maybe they'll think of Chicago as home by 2021? They'll be 8 next Summer so they're 7 now, how long have you been in Chicago? They really haven't "grown up" in VB....I...

  20. new grad residencies or start working

    Nunya replied to msstiletto97's topic in General Nursing

    And though you'll be working long hours maybe you can do some volunteer work at a place where you will get more experience. I'm assuming free clinics do some IVs, caths etc. Keep track of your hours...

  21. Primary care/outpatient?

    Nunya replied to nursing9462's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a military peds clinic but I'm sure they're basically the same. A lot depends on how many and what kind of procedures they do. We did neb treatments, ear lavages for wax/foreign objects,...

  22. Advice - should I or shouldn’t I?

    Nunya replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Just be aware FMLA isn't available when you first start a job, you have to work I think a year full-time for it to kick

  23. What can a nurse do with an MBA?

    Nunya replied to Reaz's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really care what you want PA over NP but I do agree you can choose the dark side and go to administration. That's exactly the advice I gave a young nurse several years ago when he was...

  24. New to ED from med surge. Fouling the ball a bit

    Nunya replied to BarkattheMoon's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, you're on orientation. You'll get faster and smarter. You weren't one of the fastest people on med-surg at the beginning either. Secondly, if your preceptor doesn't bother you all day...

  25. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Nunya replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Most times you can tell if something is going to be political by the title, and if not by the title then by the post itself. Just don't read those posts. There are MANY posts I don't read. It's not...
