    Nunya replied to fishinRN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Name Tags

  5. Question regarding overtime

    Nunya replied to Hopefulnurse1823's topic in General Nursing

    Also look at how your hospital does OT if you work 12s. Where I worked you had to get 40 hours that week before OT kicked in, so the first 4 hours of an extra shift were regular pay and only 8 were...

    Nunya replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Nursing

  9. Med Math Problem

    Nunya replied to Johaanas's topic in General Students

    For those classmates getting 80 ml/day, to help them reason it out tell them that's less than 3 ounces. A 40kg kid is what 8, 10 years old? Does that sound

    Nunya replied to soul83's topic in General Students

    "I'm also afraid to go to the nursing HR and see if they can help me access the pro rata balances to keep me going during the clinicals." If you don't ask you'll never get....

  11. Is nursing still right for me? HELP!

    Nunya replied to DGStudentRN's topic in General Students

    Your post could have been written by me! I wasn't too thrilled about school, my grades weren't as good as previously and I studied A LOT more, and I wondered if I really wanted to do nursing the rest...

  12. 7 weeks in the NICU, feeling overwhelmed - need advice

    Nunya replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Tell your preceptor what you told us about your process. I'm the same way if it's something I don't know. And the other comments are spot on. Your preceptor will tell you if there's a problem. Are...

  13. Ever forgotten to feed a baby?

    Nunya replied to jennylee321's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I had the portholes open while I was zeroing the scale and putting the chux on it. Scale was directly perpendicular to the isolette, I didn't have to walk to put the baby on it. I turned back to get...

  17. NICU interview at Cohen's Advice

    Nunya replied to Didizain's topic in General Nursing

    If you have lots of NICU experience then you might receive an offer quickly, I received one within a couple hours but I had about 16 years NICU experience and 30 overall. And I don't know if I was...

  18. Figuring End Date

    Nunya replied to Dominicananyy's topic in General Nursing

    She may have just neglected to look at the schedule that you're still on. I would send an email to her and HR reverifying your last day, have HR double check you to be sure if you want. Mention that...

  19. Figuring End Date

    Nunya replied to Dominicananyy's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, she can't do anything to stop you from leaving. You're not a slave. Can she fire you? Possibly, depending on what state you're in as in a right to work state you can be fired for any...

  22. Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Nunya replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    You have to stay 2 years or you'll be fined? Sounds kind of like indebted servitude to me, which is only a step above slavery. I can see if they give a huge bonus that your have to repay it, but...

  23. CLABSI issues

    Nunya replied to Moe12PMs's topic in General Nursing

    So....all I can answer, and probably only partially for your use, is when I worked NICU at a Texas hospital for about 6 months in 2013. They had a problem with this and developed an IV team (though...

  24. licence pending

    Nunya replied to ngningaye's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's interesting. My only experience with "inactive" is when I moved to Florida and placed my Texas license on inactive status. I think this warrants a call to your BON. Have something to do...
