  1. Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    Nunya replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Exactly. What happened before the video? That was my first thought. I thought she shouldn't have tried to pull him up, but I thought she was trying to listen to breath sounds, could be wrong. If...

  2. Forced to Flex Off

    Nunya replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    A big city NICU. I was always asked if I wanted to be called off, because with lots of staff someone always wants to go home. My last job had a voluntary "call off list" so they went by that if they...

  3. Which nurse do you want for your Little Johnny?

    Nunya replied to Pirate RN's topic in General Nursing

    So you got dinged for a doctor's order that didn't harm the

  4. Devastated and Disappointed

    Nunya replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This is exactly what I was thinking! All the NICUs I've worked at have been very well staffed, the doctors are nicer (not perfect but no one is) and I've gotten lunch and bathroom breaks! There can...

  5. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    Nunya replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've done that, gone to the early church service after working 12 hour nights. And let me tell you, I don't think I've ever prayed so hard in church, but a lot of it was "please God let this be over...

  6. Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    Nunya replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    My 1997 Honda Civic cost $15K, lasted a month shy of 17 years, 250K miles, and one roundtrip to/from Germany on a ship. It was very basic, no being and whistles, but low maintenance and very...

  7. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    Nunya replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    My first job, a level 2 NICU, we got to pick one baby we got no matter what (rest of assignment made by charge nurse). So I always picked N, and a few times the Mom said she was happy I was on,...

  8. Retirement at what age, and how much $$ will you will need to retire "comfortably"?

    Nunya replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    What a lot if people aren't mentioning is long term health care costs. And I wouldn't be thinking about it either except my Mom mentioned one year she paid out $70K for my Dad between rehab and...

  9. How to boost a resume for NICU?

    Nunya replied to SP1CEGRL's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  10. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    Nunya replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you've ever worked OB if you think it's unlikely that you'll encounter someone who's had an abortion in an OB unit....( Responding to the first

  11. Legalities in Flight Emergencies

    Nunya replied to MNRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I flew Cathay Pacific from LAX to Hong Kong in 2000 and responded to an emergency. They didn't have a urinary catheter with a balloon so I made do. They also didn't have a couple other things, but...

  12. Am I overthinking this?!

    Nunya replied to Kstevens828's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When the operator called him to tell him to come to the room "he cut her off". Sounds like he had a big part in this

  13. Workplace Sayings

    Nunya replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    FLK is said in the nursery/NICU, and the come back is "look at the parents first". We actually had a resident say this about a nurse's kid and when we said who the father said he was like "oh, ok,...

  14. Workplace Sayings

    Nunya replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I like to call it

  15. Charge nurse calls doc at night

    Nunya replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    It's a NICU, the doc is in house, I'm assuming her/his main shift is night shift and then they go home... I'd call. If someone goes into Neonatology hoping to sleep all night then they're REALLY in...

  16. I want to quit during orientation...

    Nunya replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    So 96 hours in a pay period? Not 80 like most jobs or 84 like most 12 hour shift nursing jobs? Ooh boy, start job hunting, cuz you're gonna burn out

  17. Family Member Watching Pro-terror/ Anti-America/ Anti-Semitic video

    Nunya replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    What I meant was the next nurse taking care of that child, what if they're Jewish? You think they'd want to know about this situation? What scares me is so many people are blowing this off. What...

  18. Family Member Watching Pro-terror/ Anti-America/ Anti-Semitic video

    Nunya replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    But what if the next nurse in that room is Jewish? I also watch things that I don't agree with, but not in front of kids and certainly not in a public place like a

  19. Who cleans the poo?

    Nunya replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    My first job in a level 2 nice we emptied trash about 04-0500. No big deal, only 2 big trash cans, but yeah, we then went back to patient care. Fast forward 20 years and I'm orienting to peds and my...

  20. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    Nunya replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good everything worked out well for you, so easily could have gone the other way. Good lesson learned, trust me, it won't be the last one! You're doing great, welcome to The

  21. My DON accused me of patient abandonment during a snowstorm

    Nunya replied to NurseScorpio88's topic in General Nursing

    I would also contact the nurse you have report to and give her a heads up. She would be smart to document for her own protection that she took report from you. Nothing worse than being involved...

  22. ED Nurse is Embarrassed, Disheartened and Unemployed

    Nunya replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You should look at Airbnb for housing options at travel assignments. People might be willing to decrease the amount they charge to have a stable renter for 3 months. A friend was able (admittedly...

  23. Nurse Needs Job but Faints at Sight of Blood

    Nunya replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    How about telephone triage? Or risk management? Records reviews? Hospice, as many RNs do paperwork jobs? I would try Psych at a larger hospital where maybe the RNs don't do blood

  24. New Grad Miserable Because of Management

    Nunya replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Create a paper trail. Every bad interaction document with date/time/ witnesses etc. Keep this. When you get a new job, after you've been in it awhile to make sure you like it, go back and give your...

  25. Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    Nunya replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing
