  1. Graduate asked to work in PCA position?

    Nunya replied to ACNH_PRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you update us and tell us if you really got that promised 3 month RN orientation....cuz I'm not going to bet any money that you will. Call me

  2. PDN *forced* to document off the clock

    Nunya replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you're playing with fire, or at least possibly losing your license. Let's start with downloading a medical app to your personal cell phone. If you lose the phone/it gets stolen and...

  3. Feel Like I’m Completely Failing...

    Nunya replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    There will always be shifts like this, no matter how long you've been a nurse. (Sh)It happens. And someone will always be irked with you. If your policy is to only get a late admit patient settled...

  4. getting bodily fluids on scrubs

    Nunya replied to sami rognlie's topic in General Nursing

    I ended up delivering a baby that came PDQ (no time to put on a gown) and got soaked with amniotic fluid. Luckily I got clean scrubs from the hospital and had socks in my locker but had to go...

  5. Working weekends

    Nunya replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    So this is a word of warning to everyone tempted to do a similar trade...make sure you have a point in time when you reevaluate and can change back if working every weekend doesn't continue to work...

  6. getting bodily fluids on scrubs

    Nunya replied to sami rognlie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't worry about it really, I might get a wet towel and dab at it. But I think if you want to change that's fine, or silver scrubs dry so fast you can even take off the pants and wash that spot...

  7. Nursing Salary in NC

    Nunya replied to Fulcrum's topic in General Nursing

    Try Glass Door. If they aren't current try to find salaries for the same year, the trend is probably the

  8. What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    Nunya replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a hospital run by a religious organization? And can I ask what state it's in? I'm in Florida and I think people would have a problem with the no shorts

  9. What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    Nunya replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!, I've really been underdressing when I've stopped in at work. Jeans, sandals in the Summer and a t-shirt (usually). They know you dress casually when you're not at work...and that you're

  10. Pediatric vaccine gone wrong

    Nunya replied to Kazed's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, if there was another nurse there she should have helped hold the kid after the first shot. I know you're in training but the most important thing here is to make sure the kids gets the...

  11. New Grad COVID

    Nunya replied to Kitkat191's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How can you be on orientation for 3 months without a guaranteed preceptor for (possibly) two of those months? ?. In my book that's called a one month orientation. I have never been told this, after 30...

  12. Got thrown to the float pool .. so I decided to make a change

    Nunya replied to cmurra6745's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you get a good orientation. Start reading everything you can about hospice. Will you be able to earn enough since it's on call? FWIW, I think you made the correct decision. I've worked...

  13. Over $300k in student loans - help.

    Nunya replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

    Read this about PSLF Can I ask how much you're paying/month for your loans? And have you thought about moving someplace where the pay might be higher and COL lower? The Problem With Public Service...

  14. Employee Spends Large Amounts of Time in Empty Patient Rooms

    Nunya replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I just read your other post about a supervisor co-worker, seems like this facility has a problem with people not doing the jobs they were hired for and are getting paid for. Keep reporting. And if...

  15. Co-Manager Colleague Late to Everything

    Nunya replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    She sounds like a night person, or at least an evening person. However, if her job entails doing things at 0800 then she should be there at 0800.

  16. Negative Nancy?

    Nunya replied to NurCe-45's topic in General Nursing

    As far as NICU goes, that depends on your experience there. I worked with a nurse who lost a preemie baby, and she did fine except the one year that she forgot to ask to be off on the anniversary day...

  17. Postpartum?

    Nunya replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, that's a hard one. Normally I'd say LDRP cuz you can get experience in all areas but possibly floating every 4 hours? That means you have to be utd at all times on your charting, and possibly...

  18. Postpartum?

    Nunya replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, just saw this. I liked NICU better, used my brain more and less patients! Sicker yes, but fewer. If you have uncomplicated moms and babies PP can be rather boring, especially on nights....

  19. RN's required to be sitters???

    Nunya replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be fine with a 1.5 hour sit, even a few times a shift, it's the 12 hour ones that

  20. Help with new job

    Nunya replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    Just stop with doing HER charting, if anything adverse happens to the patient because of what SHE did then you'll be pulled into it also. And is sounds like you're just orienting there and it isn't...

  21. Should I mention this in an interview?

    Nunya replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

    You can look online for most hospitals to see what kind of staff providers they have, that'll tell you if they have

  22. Multiple vaccine errors.

    Nunya replied to lrkelso95's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a military clinic where I gave vaccines to all civilians, including the many many kids. One thing that helped was figuring out what was needed in the room prior to the parent and kid...

  23. What did you do with your old nursing school textbooks?

    Nunya replied to coopman712's topic in General Nursing

    After lugging them around for at least 15 years I finally dumped them. It was hard but I never thought about it

  24. Weekend Requirements

    Nunya replied to Beaux2011's topic in General Nursing

    Every place I've ever interviewed it was discussed during the interview. If they don't bring it up I think it's perfectly acceptable to ask, and also to ask about

  25. How to professionally go from full time to part time ?

    Nunya replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait and see if the school is going remote. If not, you might be able to work 2-3 days/week, but of course you probably won't get benefits. I would approach it with your supervisor as a job...
