  1. 40 Students per day... YIKES!!

    Nunya replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    But you can try to get it instituted. It also shows accountability as to where the student is, I'm sure there's more than one skipping out of class or being late and saying they were with the

  2. 40 Students per day... YIKES!!

    Nunya replied to BooBooCrew's topic in School

    I'm in a fb page called School Nursing and it's just ridiculous what the nurses are sent....poop on shoes, slightly wet clothes including spilled juice or milk, tangled hair, broken shoelaces.... And...

  3. Nurses aren't maids!

    Nunya replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    Lol, I'm scrolling on my phone and I had a hard time with her post because I kept losing my place if I glanced up for a second. Paragraphs are used to get across an idea and for organization. It...

  4. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    Nunya replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    Peds floor... Had cold packs that were hard to pop. Nurse put on the floor and stomped on it then was going to put on patient. I stopped that. Experienced nurse reported at change of shift that...

  5. Just be professional, period.

    Nunya replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    At least once every hospitalization my parents have had in the past six years I've walked up to speak to someone at the desk who was on their phone (internet or texting) and they didn't immediately...

  6. bedside report

    Nunya replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    So if the person does want to get up to use the toilet, and it's someone you should stay with either in the br or outside, it's ok to take all that time to do so while the offgoing nurse wants to...

  7. bedside report

    Nunya replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. If you go into a patient's room it's hard to get out sometimes, especially if you offer toileting, a drink etc. That's not fair to the off going nurse. And it's not really fair to go in...

  8. Post Partum VS. L&D

    Nunya replied to seraphimid's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever worked L&D? Everyone gets all excited about the idea of delivering babies, but the reality is that it's a lot of hard work. If you've never done it I would say take the L&D...

  9. I'm a nurse, and believe it or not, I want to be a tech/assistant

    Nunya replied to Uhs_769's topic in General Nursing

    You'll still have to deal with doctors, and the responsibility is great, but you'll do a lot of hands-on care in the NICU. Like all of it, unless baby is stable and parents are there to help. And...

  10. How to market myself to future NICU jobs

    Nunya replied to nursebreeeee's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Are the levels separate physically? Are there different names outside the door if so? Separate staffs as far as scheduling? I think I would just say level 2 experience on my resumé, and then if I...

  11. NICU Brain ideas

    Nunya replied to kmoenck's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Is a brain a worksheet? Honestly, all I've ever done is write the hours down (vertically) a piece of paper and write "VS" at the hours due, feedings etc. Just update prn. I'll leave more space if I...

    Nunya replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

  13. Legal obligation for disaster relief

    Nunya replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've had to stay at military and civilian hospitals during hurricanes and I've never had to work more than 12 hours. They're smart enough to make sure there are enough people there who can work. And...

    Nunya replied to joRN18's topic in General Nursing

    Not if nurse c had keys and was authorized to go into the box. Was she supposed to wait till a and b got back from

  15. Spouse of nurse

    Nunya replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    One other person said you'd probably be ok. It may not be illegal to not hire you but combined with your age.... remember, nurses usually don't even get a call when they aren't hired to tell them...

  16. Medical coding as a side-hustle?

    Nunya replied to pellykate's topic in General Nursing

    So here's some info about school. I would look into whether there are jobs available in your area and what they pay. It might be more worthwhile to try and pick up shifts/partial shifts at a...

  17. Spouse of nurse

    Nunya replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you could divorce him. Then all your money would be yours and all his money would be his. Kidding! He might be able to get alimony from you since you make twice as much, so then your money...

  18. Question regarding minimum staffing

    Nunya replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    A secretary to do patient care like position changes? I don't think so. Don't even suggest it. Your should have another RN or

  19. As Hurricane Dorian Approaches, 60% of FL Nursing Homes Still Without Backup Power

    Nunya replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I've read that some places say because they're older buildings more work has to be done and they haven't been able to do it. I think it's because they don't want to spend the money. As my Dad was in...

  21. Postpartum assessments

    Nunya replied to Babycatcher87's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What exactly is included on your head to toe assessment? Because that seems like an awful lot if you're doing what I think of as head to

  22. Patient types on postpartum units

    Nunya replied to KKRJJ's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What about the patients who allegedly come in clean but then they develop or it's discovered they aren't? It's just a bad idea to have MS patients with PP. Does JC say anything about

  23. Nurses with nasty attitudes

    Nunya replied to Marian96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why was the NICU nurse called to the delivery? Because if a baby is stable enough for skin to skin then you usually don't need a NICU nurse to continue to stay there.... former L&D and NICU nurse...

  24. "We don't hire male RNs" and other things you should never say to me

    Nunya replied to labordude's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Worked in a big city NICU several years ago and one of the parents didn't want a male nurse to take care of their daughter, I think it started when he had to change her diaper. She was about two...

  25. New job purgatory; please talk sense to me

    Nunya replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I stayed at a similar job for a little over 2 years. I hated it. I was miserable and I know I made others miserable too. I cried a lot, I drank a lot. I was off weekends but I spent most Saturdays...
