  1. Offer of employment - what to do?

    Nunya replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    Can you self isolate in your home? Stay in your bedroom/ bathroom when you're at home? It wouldn't be fun but if you're that concerned..... Just until you have enough money to move

  2. Navy Nursing Requirements

    Nunya replied to CAL-AL1130's topic in Government, Military

    Just call the nearest Navy recruiter. They'll have all the answers, and they might even want you before you start a job. There are height/weight requirements as well as PT (physical training)...

  3. Mama RN Needs Advice on Childcare Options

    Nunya replied to MamaRN1719's topic in General Nursing

    Neighbors?

  4. Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

    Nunya replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You need to learn to not answer your phone when you're not scheduled to work. I wouldn't even answer if I've just left work, if it's important (like asking if you did or didn't do something) they'll...

  5. New grad military spouse

    Nunya replied to Emgo's topic in General Nursing

    There's a Travel Nursing section on this site, start there. Also try Glass Door, they have ratings and info on salaries on many businesses. Also just try googling variations of travel nursing, you...

  7. New grad military spouse

    Nunya replied to Emgo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, your best bet would be to get a year's experience and become a travel nurse. I'm not sure if they pay travel expenses but they pay housing expenses. I knew someone who traveled in Houston and...

  8. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

    Nunya replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They'll give a MSN to anybody now it appears. Sad that a nurse is saying such stupid

  9. I really want to quit..any advice?

    Nunya replied to Sunny Diem's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there. You're just learning the job, you're stressed. Patients are worried about C19, they're stressed. It won't ever be perfect anywhere. Take a few extra minutes to validate their...

  10. How to Operate Hospital Bed

    Nunya replied to wsilvernell's topic in General Nursing

    In the meantime, will she tolerate/can she have earplugs or some cotton in her ears to help dull the sound? If they don't have anything and there's a NICU there maybe see if they have...

  11. How to Operate Hospital Bed

    Nunya replied to wsilvernell's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe try calling the manufacturer on Monday and letting them hear it. Sometimes all the nurses say the same thing because they've all been taught the same thing or they hear other nurses say it...

  12. Non accredited ADN, accredited BSN

    Nunya replied to Meltamara's topic in General Nursing

    I googled this and didn't find the answer but at the bottom of the page it said you could call 1-844-456-5208 or the Human Resources Dept of your nearest VA Hospital. Good

  13. Need advice! Travel Case Manager?

    Nunya replied to Coffeelover's topic in Case Management

    I have no idea. Usually I just see that admin has done it. Can you cut and paste? I would do that and just leave it here too until admin moves

  14. Need advice! Travel Case Manager?

    Nunya replied to Coffeelover's topic in Case Management

    There's a travel nursing site on here, maybe ask there also? And it wouldn't hurt to reach out to a couple travel agencies and ask them, maybe they'd be able to waive those two months? I would start...

  15. Non accredited ADN, accredited BSN

    Nunya replied to Meltamara's topic in General Nursing

    If you got your ADN when your school was accredited then you got it from an accredited school. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It doesn't matter they lost it many years

  16. To All Nurse Preceptors:

    Nunya replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you talked to your old nurse manager about the behavior of that preceptor, especially now that you have another job. Perhaps she needs not to be a preceptor

  17. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Nunya replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nurses aren't even demanding adequate PPE, they're not going to ask for more money. Though I have heard of some C19 associated jobs (mostly) paying well lately so some places are realizing nurses are...

  18. Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    Nunya replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But if she has C19 wouldn't she have to be out longer than if she has a bad cold or the flu? Doesn't it make sense that she know so she can be out on sick leave the least amount of time? And would...

  19. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    Nunya replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you need to go back and edit your OP to say you're not looking for close contact, and you'd be fine with seeing him from 6 feet away while you're both in your cars etc. People don't read all...

  20. Pregnant new grad

    Nunya replied to emilyrose114's topic in General Nursing

    Manager.

  21. Do I hold out for the job I want?

    Nunya replied to bluescrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember, even if you get it "last hired, first fired". Oh, and I know a former correctional nurse who used to tell hilarious stories online, he's a great fb friend now. So there's

  22. Am I being overly cautious? Covid-19

    Nunya replied to Orion81RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think while it's very noble and unselfish of her to want to help it's not really a smart idea, unless she's trying to make herself and hubby and Mom/MIL sick. Or worse. I'm not working either (60)...

  23. Reported for a swear

    Nunya replied to Dawwn's topic in General Nursing

    It's not too

  24. Exposed to patient positive with coronavirus

    Nunya replied to IRN2011's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If that doesn't work call the health department and see if they can intervene. If that doesn't work public shaming might, call the media. If course you'll lose your job but you might save some...

  25. Reported for a swear

    Nunya replied to Dawwn's topic in General Nursing

    But did you report the assault to the
