  1. INTERVIEW QUESTIONS at HERMAN MEMORIAL

    Nunya replied to hoyeshi's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago I got asked to tell them one way I improved the last place I worked at. Also how I solved a problem with a

  2. I don't think any of the preceptors I've had are good... but no one else seems to see it?

    Nunya replied to Guest1158260's topic in General Nursing

    No, this might be how it is in an adult ICU but this isn't how it should be. And it's not like this in the numerous NICU's I've worked in. This sounds like a dangerous place to work, dangerous for...

  3. Hoping To Become L&D nurse. Please help!

    Nunya replied to Freezetime29's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends what's going on in your community hospitals as to whether you'll be able to get a L&D job, though I will say you might have an edge being older and having kids. Of course they...

  4. Military nurses treatment of civilian nurses

    Nunya replied to sandman88's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think they look down on civilians, as long as you do your job. I think in some cases they envy us (I know I did when I was military) because all civilians really have to do is go to work....

  5. 2 year probationary period for army civilian nurse

    Nunya replied to sandman88's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, 10 years, some of them very long. You'll be fine if you're a decent nurse, don't talk back and don't roll your eyes where supervisors can see you. And it helps to pick up an extra shift here...

  6. First Job as a New Grad

    Nunya replied to ngnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell you to take the clinic is it's offered. From what I've read on here about LTC facilities, and what I saw when my Dad was in one, the patient load is pretty high and you never know how...

  7. Please help me with this new job overseeing group homes

    Nunya replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. Do not do ANYTHING on your own time. Nurses do this way too often and they get abused for it. And if you can't get to that meeting ask for the meeting notes, if you don't get those...

  8. Please help me with this new job overseeing group homes

    Nunya replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    You need to get a copy of that internal audit. You might need

  9. Microscopic UA and UTI question

    Nunya replied to lucy8686's topic in General Nursing

    Different doctors are going to do different things based on their experience. This would be a good question to ask if there's a NP group here, or the nephrology

  10. Skin prep pre-procedure

    Nunya replied to amysnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been told you let the povidine dry, don't wipe it off. Then ask your provider if they want you to clean it with alcohol or just leave

  11. Newbie nurse, 2nd day precepting in ICU. I cried. Will I make it?

    Nunya replied to Guest1158260's topic in General Nursing

    Thirty-eight years ago this month I started in a Level 2 NICU. When my preceptor told me to start with VS/HR on my baby I asked how? Because I'd never taken care of a baby in school and how do you do...

  12. Lower Florida Keys RN jobs?

    Nunya replied to PAS1's topic in General Nursing

    I just read an email from Acuity Healthcare, they have jobs in Miami and Plantation. Jason Bruns. I took ss but not the phone number, hold on. 941-444-2436 Acuity Healthcare 2201 Cantu Ct,...

  13. Lower Florida Keys RN jobs?

    Nunya replied to PAS1's topic in General Nursing

    I did a quick look at Lower Keys Medical Center and there were two jobs (both PRN) on the first of 3 pages, then I got kicked out? Have you thought about doing PRN in Miami, stacking your days...

  14. Living with a semi anti-vax husband.

    Nunya replied to reedy22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I'd go the "flu shots are like homeopathy" route as homeopathy is a crock and flu shots aren't. Flu shots aren't perfect but homeopathic meds are basically

  15. Working short

    Nunya replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    And once you've gotten out of Dodge notify JC and your local paper about the dangerous staffing situation. Sometimes bad publicity is the only thing that changes

  16. Driving 1.5 hrs (one way) to work. Good idea?

    Nunya replied to NewRN_SW's topic in General Nursing

    I think 1.5 hours would be a lot, especially if that's only the drive without accidents, having to go slow because of snow etc. And as someone else said you need to look at how much extra for parking...

  17. Went to inactive license

    Nunya replied to londonflo's topic in General Nursing

    I felt this way when I moved from Texas and put my Texas license in inactive status. It's the one I had the longest and to this day that's the only license number I've been able to

  18. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Nunya replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The same reason people post about their volunteer activities, their church activities, their kids doing funny things.... it's your life and you want to share it with friends. I don't post anything...

  19. Advice for preceptee

    Nunya replied to Newnurse23's topic in General Nursing

    Keep a little notebook with you to write things down. You don't have to write everything like in nursing school though, you'll figure out. If you have to ask something twice, write it down. And...

  20. How to deal with a patient/resident that does not like you?

    Nunya replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Also it wouldn't hurt to learn a few words and phrases in her language....hello, good morning/evening/night, please and thank you etc. If she responds to this you can progress to pointing to...

  21. Nurse differential pay question

    Nunya replied to Newnurse23's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you'll get it. I wonder if there are still some 8 hour shift workers and they give a 3p-7p shift diff to encourage them to stay till 7. That was the case at a job of mine in St Louis. I got...

  22. Random drug testing

    Nunya replied to Adina bat Reuven's topic in General Nursing

    I understand if you need this drug but the problem I see is if you make any sort of error at work there might be more problems if they know you're on it. And in some places a bad enough error will...

  23. Working abroad remotely

    Nunya replied to druryds's topic in General Nursing

    NZ is 19 hours ahead of WA. So at 0800 Tuesday WA time it would be 0300 Wednesday in NZ. I guess it would be doable to work remotely if you didn't work days, or didn't mind getting up in the middle...

  24. Night shift vs day shift responsibilities

    Nunya replied to Newnurse23's topic in General Nursing

    At some places I've worked nights changes IV fluid/tubing (NICU), does 24 hour chart checks, been responsible for more routine cleaning. Also baths and isolette/crib changes in the

  25. Advice

    Nunya replied to Dtwjj's topic in General Nursing

    You say you're a union hospital and you have defined staffing ratios which you're exceeding. Why don't you just try to fix this for everybody and report the floor to the
