  1. Sign a contract??? Help

    Nunya replied to nurseypie's topic in General Nursing

    I would certainly want to know more about the hospital and what it's like to work there before I commit to three years. And what's the pay, PTO etc there compared to other area hospitals? No, you...

  2. DCFS opinions?

    Nunya replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you're right. Makes you wonder how many other patients like this have come in and it hasn't been

  3. Phentermine/Drug Test

    Nunya replied to yazmin's topic in General Nursing

    Just her looking for this, glad it all worked out. However, I'm assuming your job is like every other nursing job I've had in which they can test you at any time, so not sure how you can avoid this...

  4. Friends

    Nunya replied to Luckyone13's topic in General Nursing

    So either you have no friends or you think everyone trying to be friends with you is going to con you? Yeah, lay off the

  5. DCFS opinions?

    Nunya replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Maybe those of you who wouldn't report a teen getting into their parents' alcohol is one reason why we have so much alcoholism in the

  6. Would like to move: best NICU/hospital from your experience

    Nunya replied to CRNAhopeful123's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yeah, but that's a special group of nurses specially trained I'm assuming. I think she was thinking she'd get to go right away, and that all the nurses would take turns. You must be in a really busy...

  7. DCFS opinions?

    Nunya replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Is it legal for a 13 yo to be ingesting marijuana? No. Are you a mandatory reporter? Yes. You did

  8. Would like to move: best NICU/hospital from your experience

    Nunya replied to CRNAhopeful123's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'll also say that most level 4 NICUs don't have staff nurses attend deliveries, the last place I worked with it was the NNP/resident and transport nurses, if they weren't already out. Sometimes a...

  9. Quality of Life as a nurse by state

    Nunya replied to Megan8083's topic in General Nursing

    You can Google cost of living in various locations though. And check Zillow for house prices. Hospitals are a different story, because even in a "good" hospital there are bad units. GlassDoor might...

  10. A&P l in Summer or no

    Nunya replied to Chrys Oberieo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, 11 weeks is about what the usual semester is right? If you'll have time to study should be OK. There's a lot to learn but my high school physiology class was 4 years before my college class...

  11. Need help with syringe test question?

    Nunya replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you get it

  12. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    Nunya replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    For that insulin order it's both the MD and nurse's fault, but you know who's going to get thrown under the bus if the patient died. It's unfortunate that the nurse gets stuck with double checking...

  13. Need help with syringe test question?

    Nunya replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ummm....your classmates are wrong. Now...I don't know this med specifically but I do know that sometimes there's more volume of fluid in the vial than what it says. But it would be HIGHLY UNLIKELY...

  14. Need help with syringe test question?

    Nunya replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If it's 150mg/ ml (the concentration) and you have to give 150 mg then you give 1

  15. PICU, NICU, or Peds ER as New Grad?

    Nunya replied to pedsrntobe's topic in General Nursing

    Having worked NICU the majority of my career I'm voting work there! But as kp2016 says the culture is the most important thing. But also you need to realize working NICU/PICU is different from the...

  16. Friends

    Nunya replied to Luckyone13's topic in General Nursing

    Many older people have no friends their age still living, or maybe there's no one in the area. I'm going to go against what many people are saying and say continue with your chats. If it's not in...

  17. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Nunya replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This. Not to mention I didn't hear of anyone starting jobs and then quitting within a couple months because it was too hard....even the gal I worked with at my first job who failed Boards the first...

  18. is it doable to work night shift after having a baby?

    Nunya replied to juviasama's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, it's doable, just not very smart. You'll go through your child's early years in a haze, well, more of a haze than normal. Working nights is hard enough, even if you like nights. Then add in...

  19. Phentermine/Drug Test

    Nunya replied to yazmin's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...I don't know what to tell you.... I'm sorry, I hope it all works out

  20. New grad BSN moving to Honolulu (ADVICE)

    Nunya replied to Julia Matthews's topic in General Nursing

    Geared toward retirees but has some prices for specific items. Yes, you'll make more money if you can get a job but everything will cost more......

  21. New grad BSN moving to Honolulu (ADVICE)

    Nunya replied to Julia Matthews's topic in General Nursing

    What I would do is call HR at a couple hospitals you're interested in and talk to them. They'll be able to give you UTD info on whether they hire new grads, and they might even tell you what base pay...

  22. Phentermine/Drug Test

    Nunya replied to yazmin's topic in General Nursing

    Did you get a false positive? You should be OK if you have a valid prescription, you'll just have to jump through some hoops. And you might end up getting tested more often, even though you really...

  23. Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    Nunya replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work with someone who always looked busy, she never seemed to sit for long. We were in a NICU and it could be crazy, steady or boring, depending on your assignment that night. Well one...

  24. Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

    Nunya replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

    "I want nursing to be for me.". It sounds more like you're in love with the idea of being a nurse as opposed to actually wanting to be one for it's own sake. Do you have any idea of the amount of...

  25. Issue at Union Hospital

    Nunya replied to perfectzero01's topic in General Nursing

    My first question is why did you move the van? If you were working aren't you authorized to have a vehicle there? In accordance case I would elevate this and fast. Like going to head of security,...
