  1. New grad nurse—school board nurse opportunity

    Nunya replied to Ann1e86's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you take this question to the School Nursing page on FB? They can give you some advice. They will ask if you're already a school nurse, just explain why you want to join. You can also read...

  2. Temperature Checking on the Wrist

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

    However, if the directions say that the thermometer can only be used on the forehead then you can't really legally use it on the

  3. Is Going to a Non-Accredited School a Waste of Time?

    Nunya replied to daishadee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, bad idea imo. I don't know for sure but will an accredited BSN school accept you? If I were the Dean I sure wouldn't as your education level might not be up to

  4. New grad ED woes.. advice appreciated

    Nunya replied to NewGradEDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think a big problem here is the 5+ preceptors! I've had 13 inpatient jobs (military mostly) and I've only ever had one preceptor with a sub VERY occasionally, like no more than 3 or 4 times for the...

  5. How do you break the cycle of exhaustion?

    Nunya replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you write small enough you can get your times/tasks AND any extra info on one side of your brain sheet, now THAT'S a game

  6. Nursing school

    Nunya replied to babdyboc's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you can open one. I just don't know how feasible it is, especially when you're on a page like this asking how to do it......

  7. New grad, first week off orientation.. need some encouragement to get through this week :(

    Nunya replied to Swirl531's topic in General Nursing

    If you weren't ready to be off orientation, you wouldn't be. I have 30 years experience and I still ask questions of my coworkers and am learning new

  8. Why do you think it is beneficial to have a second nurse available during a catheterization?

    Nunya replied to Rainha_portuguesa's topic in General Nursing

    She probably would respect her elders if the first line wasn't rude and condescending.

  9. Why do you think it is beneficial to have a second nurse available during a catheterization?

    Nunya replied to Rainha_portuguesa's topic in General Nursing

    OP, sorry that some nurses are so hostile. "Why is this even a project" is rude and condescending. Evidently with all the people attacking you there are a lot of rude and condescending nurses here,...

  10. Administrator trying to Override RN Recommendation

    Nunya replied to Babsuptown's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck! With Google Medical School everyone thinks they're an expert. All I can say it's going to take time. And I would ask that question, but in a really nice tone of voice, not snarky or...

  11. La to hou?

    Nunya replied to malonejr's topic in General Nursing

    What I would do is call some units on night shift, in the middle of the shift (and not on a weekend obviously) where things have settled down somewhat unless it's a totally crappy shift, and talk to...

  12. Why doesn't any job seem to fit?? (AKA what is wrong with me?)

    Nunya replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing wrong with you, you loved your first job. You just felt you had to quit because of something out of your control. Try to find another psych job. Edit: and yes, the grass is always...

  13. Is the transition hard from inpatient to outpatient nursing?

    Nunya replied to Maria D's topic in General Nursing

    I went from a not crazy NICU to an outpatient clinic (LOL, just remembered I went from a not crazy peds floor to a peds clinic too). The work was pretty different but what was hardest was going from...

  14. Need Pediatric Nurse Advice

    Nunya replied to newbienursie's topic in General Nursing

    I think ANY experience is better than no experience, and someone who has a year of peds experience with vented kids would be desirable in a PICU or step down unit in my opinion. Even in a regular...

  15. New grad- job stress/depression

    Nunya replied to nurseMR2020's topic in General Nursing

    I would start by keeping track of the times you get patients in restraints/attacking staff vs times other nurses get these kinds of patients. If there's two on the floor at once and you get them both...

  16. Corrections CNA

    Nunya replied to Elliebeanlovesmisterbubbles's topic in General Nursing

    There's a correctional nursing page, maybe try there if you don't get any answers

  17. Your work does not go unnoticed

    Nunya replied to Wheels28's topic in General Nursing

    This is nice to hear. I think most of us know this but to hear it from someone who has been a patient is nice. Thank

  18. New nurse & soon to be first time mom.. mental health being affected majorly. Help!

    Nunya replied to Swirl531's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, stress can absolutely bring on PTL, as well as other physical problems. Do you have EAP at your work, have you tried talking to them? I would suggest if you can do it financially that you think...

  19. Nights to Days

    Nunya replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    More doctors around, more family members around that you have to deal with and explain things to after you've explained them to the patient, more admin, more "can you do this?" from admin, more...

  20. Single mom and nurse?

    Nunya replied to blueskies1990's topic in General Nursing

    I know people who've done it in the past, making less than nurses make. I think you need to look at ways to cut costs, I'm sure there are many suggestions if you Google it. When I moved from...

  21. Nurse to patient Ratio

    Nunya replied to Reda's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. THIS x

  22. Is asking to switch my preceptor in this scenario rude/wrong?

    Nunya replied to brandnewicu's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you'll have to with with many people you don't necessarily click with, however I think while on orientation, ESPECIALLY your first job, it would be better to have as a preceptor someone you do...

  23. Job Hopping? Unhappy New Nurse

    Nunya replied to styles0731's topic in General Nursing

    Before you look for a new job I recommend seeing a doctor for your anxiety and chest

  24. Exit interview: I want to report a sexually harrasser

    Nunya replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    You can report it but if you aren't willing to be questioned about it then they probably won't do anything. How can they if you won't answer any questions they may have? They MIGHT go to the person...

  25. Devastated over Isolation Precautions Problem

    Nunya replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Quite frankly I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone who needed to know the patient was on isolation knew, and those of us who work nights know that what's easy to do during the day isn't always easy to...
