    Nunya replied to Reaz's topic in General Nursing

    If you work in/for a doctor's office you'll find the same thing. It'll be mostly boring with occasionally something fun. You should have seen how excited the NP got when my Mom wanted a small cyst...

    Nunya replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing

  8. My 20yo son w/ dementia wanders. I'm a busy mom/caretaker. Could I get experienced advice?

    Nunya replied to ramp1234's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with Sour Lemon that he may need to be placed somewhere that can monitor/assist him more than you can. That's a hard decision I know, but it might be the safest thing, especially as he's...

    Nunya replied to Ally54's topic in Government, Military

    AF nurse 12 years, 1984-96. Worked for Army as civilian nurse 2002-12. I think it would be fairly easy to get stationed with your husband as most bases have either a clinic or hospital, obviously...

    Nunya replied to wolac992's topic in General Nursing

  15. I'm the bad guy for not working off the clock

    Nunya replied to cwilliams032's topic in General Nursing

    Except if he's orienting still he has no say in the timelines of work being done, yet he's being expected to stay late because of others socializing. When he's off orientation and can get his work...

  17. How to market myself to future NICU jobs

    Nunya replied to nursebreeeee's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  22. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    Nunya replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I suspect some families weren't in the area. And some families physically can't care for their family member in a nursing home. Until you've had someone you love in a nursing home you don't really...
