  1. Resting Up For Night Shifts

    Nunya replied to Mya K. Brewster's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, please read this and think about consulting a lawyer... (removed link not

  2. Float Pool Not A Right Fit

    Nunya replied to Apple_Gel's topic in General Nursing

    Quite frankly I think it was irresponsible/crappy of the hospital hiring someone with no hands on experience for a float pool. You were little more than a new grad when you started and you were on...

  3. Nurses who have a dog?

    Nunya replied to rnstu20's topic in General Nursing

    I've had dogs while working 12s. I would always leave potty pads out just in case, if you have tile floors it's not a big deal but I had carpeting... Luckily mine were little and were used to staying...

  4. Reported for a swear

    Nunya replied to Dawwn's topic in General Nursing

    They must be exceptionally well staffed to fire you for saying one swear word, or they don't care about staffing. I think you should file a police report also and I'll bet you'll magically get your...

  5. Is it just me or?? Are needle stick injuries more serious than people make it out to be..

    Nunya replied to guest1142824's topic in General Nursing

    If he's consented then I'd be bugging them too. It'll take a provider 20 seconds to order. If they're still screwing around consider telling them you'll get a lawyer. And start looking around for...

  6. Monday to Friday life... what's it like?

    Nunya replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I've done both, I did one 8 hr. job in a clinic for a little over 2 years. It was really 9 hours with an hour (theoretically) for lunch. That was 2006-08. I then went to 12s and was so happy....

  7. Unemployment and Pool position

    Nunya replied to 005mnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would think so, it's a job. I don't know how many hours you have to work and for how long prior to collecting but you can probably find online, though I would call too as rules are changing with...

  8. Abandonment

    Nunya replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

    Contact your malpractice insurance company as soon as they open in the morning. You need a lawyer who's experienced in this kind of thing and I'm assuming they can give you

  9. SINGLE STATE LICENSE

    Nunya replied to KaforeignRN's topic in General Nursing

    That was my question, I didn't think you could get a single state license without living in the state. Did you use a friend or relative's Florida address? Anyway, you might be able to get a...

  10. Shoulds I Consider Transferring?

    Nunya replied to Pulsar's topic in General Nursing

    Can you transfer within that hospital to pediatrics, since that's what you think you'd like to do? Or the nursery or

  11. Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    Nunya replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    A hospital needs SOME integrity though, seeing as they're responsible for people's lives. When they show their *ss (as they say in the South) at the beginning of your relationship with them that's...

  12. Fired

    Nunya replied to Lilynelo's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of a 6 day orientation in a hospital, even with experience. Going by that premise I should only have 3 days my next NICU job. It's pretty hard to be told after 4 days what's wrong...

  13. Nursing for Intimate care for men

    Nunya replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    "Hire atleast one male nurse and a male assistant for your patients." That's easier said than done. In my experience, not borne out by any studies, most office nurses and ancillary staff are...

  14. Nursing for Intimate care for men

    Nunya replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    That's not a source of statistics, it's the same post with anecdotes by other

  15. Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    Nunya replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    Take out "which sounds like a wonderful opportunity" as well as the apology. They should be used to people interviewing and then not accepting jobs. And you were inconvenienced also and I guarantee...

  16. Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    Nunya replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, day shift might not be realistic but someone who isn't trying the bait-and-switch game would just say "I know you want days but that's not available at this point. The job is for nights." If it...

  17. Cannabis nurse certification?

    Nunya replied to Harley Rn's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you contact the ACNA and ask them? One thought would be in working at the office of doctors who prescribe

  18. Pregnant and possible CMV exposure

    Nunya replied to mhite226's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, tell your OB of possible exposure. They can do lab tests on you as well as look for signs on ultrasound of possible CMV in the baby. I would talk to the doctor of the patient/your...

  19. New Grad to ICU

    Nunya replied to SD25's topic in General Nursing

    This is your best option. It would be very difficult to juggle the schedule of two full-time jobs, especially as you'll most likely be working 12s. That would have you working 6/7 shifts a

  20. orientation without preceptor

    Nunya replied to jacquilinep's topic in General Nursing

    Any healthcare facility, whether it be an acute care hospital, LTC or doctor's office, that doesn't give an adequate orientation only cares about one thing... money. Their objective is to get you in...

  21. Is our unit being punished for the actions of one nurse?

    Nunya replied to Boottuff's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, the nurse who should have been let go is the lazy PACU nurse who "didn't want to" apply the wound vac. You know, the one trained to do it. I think the "lazy nurse" had every right to...

  22. Well, At Least They Tell You Up Front

    Nunya replied to Katillac's topic in General Nursing

    And you may train somewhere other than your home clinic, or have to go to other hospitals... Training for dialysis as I understand it is months. So for months you may have to drive way farther than...

  23. Pros & cons: working at a small vs large hospital?

    Nunya replied to Cindithenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would worry more about a unit being brand new than the type of patients you'll have. As DextersDisciple said there will be many kinks to work out, to put it

  24. Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Nunya replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you've learned a lesson. And who among us hasn't been late for work? Anyway, now you know what not to do, you know to get another alarm or two or 3 and plug them in across the room (get ones...

  25. Do I have what it takes to succeed in Nursing?

    Nunya replied to Hurricane's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. My biggest problem my first year, actually first couple weeks was just being really tired after 12s. Oh, and spending too much money after being a poor student. But I worked in a level 2...
