  1. Made it off orientation

    Nunya replied to autism4life's topic in General Nursing

    A4L: "I still have no idea what I am doing, or at least that's the narrative that plays in my head as I run around attempting to appear confident." And some of us get...

  2. Assisting with infant circumcision

    Nunya replied to cody elliott's topic in General Nursing

    I've assisted with all methods actually, though I chose plastibell as that was the most common. And they've been with and without anesthetic, though with most recently. If your doctor doesn't use...

  3. From Med/Surg to Postpartum

    Nunya replied to PinkRose34's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I would also apply to all NICU jobs, both that hospital and others in the area. That includes Level 3-4, as well as Level 2 (more like a step down unit). You don't really need PP...

  4. OB clinic nursing?

    Nunya replied to Freespirit2020's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi, just saw this. I worked an OB Clinic years ago and did very little hands-on as far as skills. If a woman had a problem like needing an IV she usually went to L&D to get treated. So you'd...

  5. MD saying I didn’t do something

    Nunya replied to Gigi27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just reading this, glad things worked out well. I want to emphasize what another nurse said, next time you need to contact that doctor, get a witness. And ask the witness to write down your...

  6. Manager Audited Narc Drawer Without Witness; Fired Me for ‘Missing’ Norco

    Nunya replied to Floridababe's topic in General Nursing

    It might not be too late to report this to the BON and whoever her supervisor is. Who knows what she's done in the past

  7. Part Time/ Full Time Flex Position - Nursing

    Nunya replied to aspiringbuffalobsn's topic in General Nursing

    You do realize that at most hospitals they can call you off if you're FT too,

  8. How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    Nunya replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested in knowing what the red flags

  9. Soon to be new grad seeking job start date advice please!

    Nunya replied to xcontraindicatedx's topic in General Nursing

    Just say when you can start, don't say why unless they ask. Then you can just say "family obligations". I would think most people would understand the need for a little break between graduation and...

  10. Ready to leave bedside after only 1 year?

    Nunya replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about another area of nursing? I actually thought about doing oncology my first job as there was a very prestigious oncology hospital in the city I was in, but I decided I really...

  11. Ready to leave bedside after only 1 year?

    Nunya replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    Please notify your BON and JC about those 24 hour shifts, I'm pretty sure they'll have a few things to tell your hospital about

  12. Do you get paid travel time for Home Health visits?

    Nunya replied to melanie_100's topic in General Nursing

    Right Davey, that site also says that going to the first job and home from the last is not compensable time, as that's just normal for a job. Although in my last job if we got called in while we were...

  13. Do you get paid travel time for Home Health visits?

    Nunya replied to melanie_100's topic in General Nursing

    From the US Dept of Labor site. I would think this would also include your dropping off labs at FedEx. They're trying to screw you, don't let them. Direct care workers who are employed...

  14. VA Nursing Homes- Help wanted!

  15. Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

    Nunya replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about the idea of having 4+ in a row is worse than actually doing them. I've never really had 4 bad shifts, and that's including NICU where I often would have the same babies all 4 shifts....

  16. Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

    Nunya replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty much every military hospital I've worked at, but not PC incompetence, just too many people and not enough providers. And people trying to get appointments for their kid who's had a sore...

  17. Salary in Houston, TX

    Nunya replied to WOCN RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had 30 yrs experience with about 16 yrs in the area I interviewed in and I was offered $44/hr in 2013 at Memorial Hermann downtown. Plus I think it was 6 or 8% extra cuz it was downtown, I guess...

  18. Offered Labor & Delivery position as a new grad. Should I take it or keep applying to a bigger teaching hospital?

    Nunya replied to babynursefay's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, and if you're new you'll learn a lot, and the pace will probably be slower so you'll not only learn how but why. And you'll have a much better resume when you do decide you want to be in a...

  19. Nurse Trapped in Deadly Texas Pileup Crawled Out Car Trunk and Reported to Work

    Nunya replied to Workitinurfava's topic in General Nursing

    I would have called work and said I wasn't coming in then would have started checking on people. Probably would have gone home if I was OK but then definitely would have gone to the doctor or er...

  20. COVID Faces

    Nunya replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You mean this approach? This Sweden? Wow, yeah, maybe you do need to retire.

  21. COVID Faces

    Nunya replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think once most are vaccinated and we don't have 2.4 million people worldwide dying in a year they'll go away. I don't know when that will be though. And I actually plan on wearing mine for awhile...

  22. The Honeymoon That Never Came

    Nunya replied to Merrie82's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot believe a hospital gives you 5 weeks of PTO but only allows you to use 2. Is this legal? If it is then you best hope that you get unionized and you can get this changed OR you learn to take...

  23. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Nunya replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Staff might not WANT to help them but they will, as proven by you spending all that extra time with them. Yes, they need a behavior contract by admin or they need to leave. Have you tested sitting...

  24. Male Adult ICU Nurse Transition to NICU

    Nunya replied to Ryzzle_T's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've worked in 5 NICU's and all but the first had guys there (and that first was in the early 80s so there weren't as many guys in nursing at all). I can think of only one problem a guy had and that...

  25. NICU New Graduate RN Offer

    Nunya replied to yenool's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    As a RN in a Level 3 you'll be doing much more than feeding and holding. There's still that but you'll have vents, pre-op, post-op, procedures you'll need to transport babies to (unless they have...
