  1. Being investigated for a patient the nurse didn't even treat

    Nunya replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    Well, they can't do anything to the nurse the family talked to since she didn't meet the patient, so I don't think she has too much to worry about. They're going on with the investigation into the...

  2. Should 40 year old mom become a psych NP?

    Nunya replied to HetherV's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who got her first Master's (non nursing but she's a nurse) while active duty military, working 40+ hours a week. No kids but also single so wanted a social life. Got her second one...

  3. Nicotine Drug Testing in the Texas Medical Center

    Nunya replied to MA8675309's topic in General Nursing

    Memorial Hermann does. They asked me if I smoked, I said no. They then proceeded to tell me the story of a new nurse who lost her (highly competitive and sought after evidently) NICU internship...

  4. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Nunya replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If you ever were in any of the anti-vax groups on FB you'd be calling them nutters. Not everyone of course, but the majority. Don't think so? Go join a couple...but you'll have to say you're...

  6. Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Nunya replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oregon. Crunchy. I'll bet they didn't have health insurance. I'm on a lot of pro-vax sites and have been on a couple anti-vax till I get booted for speaking my mind. And yes, probably afraid of...

  7. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Nunya replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what's been said about the NICU, or even a stepdown from the NICU. I've worked it. Now sometimes it's a lot of getting up and down if alarms are going off, parents are busy and you...

  8. This MD culture

    Nunya replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. And would you really take any orders from the supervisor? If they say something incorrectly and you do it it's going to be your butt, unless of course they're willing to write the telephone...

    Nunya replied to sillymu's topic in Nursing Career

    No,

  10. Hospitals paying for your stay?

    Nunya replied to sillymu's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm in central FL too and I've seen relocation bonuses. Why is Altamonte considered less prestigious, I've thought about working there? Is it just because it's

  11. How to retain nurses?

    Nunya replied to old&improved's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. That's what they care about. I once worked for a big pediatric hospital where in an interview with the CEO pre-retirement he said his goal was to retire at 50. One or two years prior his...

  12. I've had enough.

    Nunya replied to MBar1's topic in General Nursing

    The only people who know I was diagnosed with "adjustment disorder" (depression imo) are the people I worked with, and it was obvious to them! It's scary to get help but you will feel so much better...

  13. Advice for vacationing?

    Nunya replied to pediRNjen's topic in General Nursing

    As a staff nurse? Where have you worked? The only job ever I got this much vacation EVER was the

  14. Life's little irritations...

    Nunya replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    A couple jobs ago we had these big laundry bags in a metal holder. When you filled one up you were supposed to take it out of the holder, put it on the floor for laundry to come get and put a new bag...

  15. Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    Nunya replied to Anon143's topic in General Nursing

    Really scary that the nursing sup doesn't know it would be YOUR license not

  16. Would you call in sick?

    Nunya replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If nothing else I would be looking for a new job because of the 1-2 call shifts per week. (Later post, for those who don't read all the comments). That's

  17. Mandatory Vaccination

    Nunya replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why I always tried to schedule my shot before I had 2-3 days

    I hope that reply was

  19. How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Nunya replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    I finally got rid of all my nursing books about 20 years after graduation, and several moves. It was hard, especially thinking how much they cost but I felt so good after. So much was outdated and...

  20. Nurse Imposters

    Nunya replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

  21. "My doctor told me..."

    Nunya replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    I have a relative who told me the doctor said she didn't have to take her Celexa every day, and that her Wellbutrin only had to be taken on really bad days. í

  22. As a RN, which would you choose?

    Nunya replied to GenieToBe's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, if someone goes down I'm not taking the time to go through her purse or his wallet to look for a card, I'm going to do

  23. Is this discrimination?

    Nunya replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    My question is how much time are you spending translating? Is this taking away from time for your patients? A quick translation here and there is one thing but it sounds like you're doing more than...

  24. 2 full-time jobs?

    Nunya replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked anywhere where it's NOT time and a half. I worked at one hospital that when they were really desperate they gave bonuses in addition to time and a half, up to $150 for a 12 hour...

  25. 2 full-time jobs?

    Nunya replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    Whether she is still having seizures or not the military will never take her. The Public Health Service probably won't either. I'm former military. FYI, right now the annual pay for a 2nd Lt...
