  1. Move home or stay?

    Nunya replied to nurseval's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel prepared after 6 months then you'd be very unusual, it takes longer than that imo. Quite frankly I wouldn't move anywhere until I had a FIRM job offer/residency in hand, things are just...

  2. COVID-19: Ivermectin

    Nunya replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Right, that's what I meant. I'll bet straight bleach kills a lot of things too but that doesn't mean it's good for cancer. Hopefully enough people will get the vaccine so we can achieve herd...

  3. 'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    Nunya replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    I'd want to know how often people are called in and for how long. And not just "oh, not often" but very specific

  4. COVID-19: Ivermectin

    Nunya replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From what I've read it needs to be tested in people

  5. Failed My Third Semester

    Nunya replied to Lynker's topic in LPN to RN

    If it's any consolation you'll do better next time. Every time you take a test is good practice for that big one you have to take after you graduate. Hang in

  6. Should I quit my program?

    Nunya replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    Stick it out. Do some of the suggestions here. I hated school but loved/liked the

  7. 'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    Nunya replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. Are you the only one that's required to take call? Is it the same day each week? Does it get assigned to you by the scheduler or do you self schedule? I've worked places where call...

  8. I don't know if I should call out or not r/t snow storm

    Nunya replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    Then that day shift nurse should get into the hospital or a hotel tonight. How awful if night shift has to stay and work all or part of day shift, and then possibly work nights again tomorrow night....

  9. RN coworker discouraged me

    Nunya replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in General Nursing

    If anyone is going to be a dictator here in the US I think it should be a

  10. Who should call family during ICU transfer? (did I goof up?)

    Nunya replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't want the doctors to do their job now, would we? Edit:

  11. Degree Devastation - School Lost Accreditation

    Nunya replied to Ccne reject's topic in General Nursing

    No matter what happens (and I signed the petition) you all need to think about getting a lawyer involved. They should have told you there were problems, that might be considered

  12. New Grad RN looking to volunteer

    Nunya replied to jm9621's topic in General Nursing

    Are there any free/income adjusted community clinics near you? I bet they need volunteers. I worked at a crisis helpline/health clinic in college, the NP there probably would have loved a RN, even one...

  13. Bad nursing orientation

    Nunya replied to germinariojenn's topic in General Nursing

    Ask your preceptor NOW to work on your own, that way you'll have a couple weeks in before you get off orientation. And fwiw, I think it's more important to chat your assessments before doing care...

  14. DOC Guilt-Tripping Me To Accept Call-Ins

    Nunya replied to amanda269's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with this but.... When I worked in a big city hospital I sometimes got 3 texts over the course of a day to either come in or come in at 3pm instead of 7 (this along me to work 16...

  15. How far is too far of a commute?

    Nunya replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Part of it depends on if it's really an hour coming home. I had a 35-60 minute commute when I lived outside Houston and drove in, it varied because of traffic but I usually left around 5:15pm....

  16. Starting a new job with some concerns

    Nunya replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    If Occ Hx says wear a PAPR then that's what you wear. I don't think the supervisor can override them. If she tries again she should be reported. I can understand them not wanting you to wear an...

  17. DOC Guilt-Tripping Me To Accept Call-Ins

    Nunya replied to amanda269's topic in General Nursing

    "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't get your call, I was sleeping in preparation for night shift" if you feel you need an

  18. BULLYING at work as Usual

    Nunya replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have another job. Give your notice now, you can give more than 2 weeks. If you feel you're being treated unfairly make a complaint, but since you're leaving they may not care, but at least it's...

  19. Am I being unreasonable about my concerns regarding safety/hygiene?

    Nunya replied to Emmeline22's topic in General Nursing

    So... I've never worked Psych except for being pulled a few times, and then it was usually for meds or 1:1 at night. I also understand being short staffed. But #1 and 4 sound disgusting. Would you...

  20. When does it all come together?

    Nunya replied to Biggredd305's topic in General Nursing

    So you've been off orientation about a month, maybe two? Give it time. Like a year, at least. You don't learn in school how to be a nurse all at once, you don't learn on the job how to be a nurse...

  21. Two Nursing jobs

    Nunya replied to Cabana's topic in General Nursing

    You left the hospital job "due to some personal anxiety pertaining to the position." Do you think that anxiety will go away because you're not there FT? Do you think it'll go away when you're trying...

  22. New nurse leaving hospital for office job.. advice?

    Nunya replied to Cabana's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't work for a specific doctor's office, I worked in clinics in hospitals. I had no problems finding a hospital job BUT after the first clinic job I had 12 previous years hospital experience...

  23. New nurse leaving hospital for office job.. advice?

    Nunya replied to Cabana's topic in General Nursing

    We all know nurses who have gone to grad school immediately after their BSN. I'm not sure that not having much hospital experience would be a detriment for informatics or HCA. For a practicioner...

  24. Temperature Checking on the Wrist

    Nunya replied to Rachelle Anne Aggabao Balisi's topic in General Nursing

    Other than drugs, what things are used that they aren't supposed to be used for? And if they care harm to a patient how exactly would you defend

  25. Temperature Checking on the Wrist

    Nunya replied to Rachelle Anne Aggabao Balisi's topic in General Nursing

    If there was ever a lawsuit related to accuracy/harm to a patient because if an inaccurate reading I sure wouldn't want to try to explain that even though the directions say for forehead use only I...
