  1. well baby nursey to NNP (it's long, sorry)

    Also, you might not get to attend every delivery, other NNPs will be assigned them too. And really, a delivery/stabilization of a premie can take maybe 45 min-a couple hours, and then it's paperwork,...
  2. NGT policies about days until removal for Neonates

    "They have all the time in the world" lolol. I never thought of it that way but you're so
  3. Neonatal stethoscopes and other equipment

    The last Level 3 I worked had them for each baby. I always (since my first nursing job) carried my own scissors and hemostats. I would just ask if it's OK if you carry your own before you buy them...
  4. Switching units

    If you need full-time I wouldn't go anywhere till there's a FT job open. To many things can happen, especially now with C19. I don't think it would hurt to mention to the Surg head nurse you're...
  5. Hospice on call 7 on 7 off experience?

    You might get more answers if you also post this in the Hospice/Palliative
  6. Have you called them? I would start with Registrar, I think they're the ones who can tell you tuition etc costs now, they'll tell you if they know if they're going up. Make sure you ask about...
  7. Filing a report as a mandated reporter

    I'm leaning towards reporting it but have you considered talking to your FM about it, saying you think it needs reporting but you want to make sure there's absolutely no exaggeration? And stressing...
  8. Any advice for a disabled nurse?

    Check out the post from the nurse who doesn't want to do any patient care, there's some good suggestions there. Also agree with what SineQuaNon said about not mentioning it until your
  9. Not really sure school nursing is for her. Go to the fb page "School Nursing" and go back to posts made before C19 and you'll see there's a lot of bs they put up with...from kids, parents, teachers...
  10. Informatics requires a lot of problem solving and hand holding. You send out emails telling people things are going to change. You post signs telling people things are going to change. You make...
  11. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    I think admins should just prohibit posts like this. It only invites the "I'm better than you because I have a BSN, Master's, I'm a NP" attitude. I've known some excellent ADN nurses and I've known...
  12. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    What does holding doctor's ashtrays etc have ANYTHING to do with what I said? I'm going to assume you're trying to make a point but I have no idea what it is. Edit: and FYI, my University got rid of...
  13. Audio Recording in the Workplace

    WOW!. Good for you that that person was stupid. I hope you told the agency and all the other nurses on that
  14. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    LOL. After more than three decades in nursing I'm pretty sure this person has managed to do more than survive. Come back to us when you have 30+ years. And let's get out of the "nurses are saints"...
  15. New Graduate Resume

    Personally I would take off the professional summary because you don't really have any NURSING experience yet. And I'd take off the skills under the Skills section, leave the other part. I'm sure...
  16. I wouldn't bother. You'll be on orientation at least 8 weeks, which if you started Monday takes you to early July. And then you'll leave 3-6 weeks later? How will you account for this if they ask in...
  17. Audio Recording in the Workplace

    Yes, I'm assuming that this man's legal guardians are considered to be one party, and the caregiver is the other. So by them doing it, there's the consent of one party. However, I don't know if...
  18. Audio Recording in the Workplace

    Actually I just looked it up and Ohio is a one party state, which means only ONE person involved needs to consent. And yes, you'd probably be fired, but do you really want to keep working for someone...
  19. Is NPO really NPO??

    Obtain a WRITTEN
  20. I'm so sorry. After talking to your Mom and his doctors you might need to get a lawyer involved. You can consult most lawyers for
  21. At one of my jobs I had two nurses slowly walking down the hall saying they were going to get breakfast. At 0655. Report started at 07. It would take 2-3 minutes to get to the cafeteria, assuming...
  22. Audio Recording in the Workplace

    I'd be po'd. What is they recorded a personal call that could prove embarrassing? What if they recorded someone swearing? What state is this, because in some states it's illegal to record people...
  23. Possibly Moving from California to Florida

    Look on Glass Door to get an idea of salaries. Yes, the humidity and heat in Summer IS that bad. I've been here for almost 7 years and I'm still not used to it. And homes are expensive where you're...
  24. Since I was licensed after 1/1/13 in Florida I have to pay $43.25 this year to have my fingerprints retained in the Florida's Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse. Or I could redo my...
  25. Phentermine/Drug Test

    I'm assuming if you were using it for weight loss you had a lot of weight to lose, I wouldn't call that unnecessary. And it's not up to them to call a medication unnecessary....but in glad you won't...
