  1. Late Preterm Infants on Mother Baby Unit Thoughts?

    Nunya replied to laurencsmile's topic in General Nursing

    You can't read the whole article without paying but I think there enough here to show it's a dangerous practice. One neo I knew said his sickest baby EVER was a 34 weeker. I've done NICU and I sure...

  2. Nursing School and Career with Back Problems

    Nunya replied to person115's topic in General Nursing

    And it's not just standing, sitting, turning patients... it's crouching down and then having to get up again. I hurt my knee as a young nurse and crouching was the easy part, it was getting up again...

  3. Not sure where to go from here

    Nunya replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    Go VA. Once you're in it'll be easier to transfer if you get tired of doing research. And you know they pay

  4. New Grad RN on L&D unit. Discouraged and questioning my nursing career.

    Nunya replied to RNeileen's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you do, PLEASE tell L&D that having three preceptors didn't help, and why. Be specific with situations where one preceptor told you one thing and the next time that situation came up the...

  5. USAJobs Process/ Tentative Offer for on-post Army Hospital?

    Nunya replied to Ewbok123's topic in Government, Military

    If you got a tentative offer it shouldn't take 3-5 months though. You should have gotten a contact number when you received the tentative offer, since you turned in the additional paperwork I would...

  6. Help! Hospice RN under investigation for diversion

    Nunya replied to Rohr.RN1990's topic in General Nursing

    Start writing down everything you remember. Of course you'll have to correlate with doctor's orders but you can start now to get your thoughts on paper. Don't tell anyone but your lawyer you're...

  7. Going to NP school, the Army Recruiter contacted me

    Nunya replied to Sam. W's topic in Government, Military

    You'll be assigned to a reserve unit. When they have weekend training you'll go, even if it conflicts with studying for finals or your personal life. When they have 2 week Summer training you'll go,...

  8. What are your views on switching days with people?

    Nunya replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Well yeah they do, but that's not always management's fault, it's the fault of the higher-ups. They can't really staff two people extra every shift just in case something comes up in someone's...

  9. What are your views on switching days with people?

    Nunya replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    So do you think management should figure out switches when someone doesn't like their schedule instead of the nurse? Why? You don't think they have enough to

  10. What are your views on switching days with people?

    Nunya replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I've always asked for swaps, and I tried to do them as much as possible. Worked at one big place where we all carried a little planner in our pockets so in case you were in the break room or coming...

  11. Nurse salaries... RN, NP, CRNA, etc...

    Nunya replied to erwindt's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect someone who's making that much money at that age won't be happy living off investments but I could be wrong. Edit: and that's hardly the usual salary of

  12. Nurse with mental issues?

    Nunya replied to Nurseunite's topic in General Nursing

    Trust me, if you find a psychologist who's worked more than a year or two they've heard it all before, or read about it, or know another psychologist who's heard it. You know that. Just blurt it all...

  13. Nurse with mental issues?

    Nunya replied to Nurseunite's topic in General Nursing

    Well you aren't going to get better until you find a good doctor and tell them the truth about how you feel. And then get either medical or psychological help, or both. No one can help you if you...

  14. How do you know if nursing is right for you in the long term?

    Nunya replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    You need to get a handle on your anxiety stat. Then it'll be easier to decide if you want to continue to be a

  15. Is the grass greener in ICU?

    Nunya replied to connecticut23's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I like about the NICU is the number of patients I have, usually just 2, very very occasionally 3 if one is stable or if census is high/staffing low. I think it's easier to take care of...

  16. Incident

    Nunya replied to Lovely's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, and you need to realize there's only so much you can do to help physically. You can't FORCE them to sit down. Maybe next time they'll listen to the

  17. Physician Assistant or RN

    Nunya replied to implathszombie9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A quick Google search shows PA programs are 24-27 months. An accelerated BSN program can be completed in 18-24 months. I know someone who got her BSN in 18 and she's an excellent nurse. You might...

  18. Piloting a new unit as a new grad?

    Nunya replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Will management be people new to management? If so, heck

  19. HATE bedside nursing

    Nunya replied to Clueless in CA's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried Botox for your migraines? A friend who's tried all the oral meds says that works for

  20. CLEVELAND CLINIC CVICU

    Nunya replied to MYNAMEISIDKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was born there but moved when I was 7 so can't help you but I was curious and found this site...my.cleveland...has some info about main road closures that you'll need to keep in mind...sorry,...

  21. Can RN's function as Sleep Technologists?

    Nunya replied to Lanntis's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that there isn't much need for sleep technicians right now either. Things will pick up as states reopen and people feel more comfortable about going to the ER/having elective

  22. Relocating as new grad

    Nunya replied to AndreaGonzalez's topic in General Nursing

    I took Boards in Ohio in July 1982 (?), moved to Houston sometime in August I think, found out results September, luckily I passed. At that time I figured I could get a job, and while I knew what I...

    Nunya replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    LOL if only it were that easy. This sounds like you think she's making med errors on

  24. Should I ignore people who say that every career should have a week dedicated to them?

    Nunya replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    International Accounting Day is Nov 10. Law Day is celebrated May 1 in the US. National Engineers Week is in Feb over George Washington's birthday, Feb 22. Tell them it's up to them to advertise...

  25. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.
