  1. Ever left a nightshift hospital job for a day shift low stress job?

    Nunya replied to saltymermaid's topic in General Nursing

    I've done it 3 times, once in the military and twice in civil service. All 3 hospital jobs were rotating shifts but I worked more nights than days in all of them, by choice. The hospital shifts...

  2. So, It's Come To This...

    Nunya replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Glad I'm not likely to be in Nebraska anytime soon. I wonder if they require flu, MMR and TB

  3. How should I move forward?

    Nunya replied to jrb1201's topic in General Nursing

    I've been on call in NICUs but only 1-2 shifts every 6-8 weeks. One shift every week is an awful lot imo. Hard to get a 4 day weekend with that requirement. Ask the PP and Nursery staff what their...

  4. Hey! That's my article on nurse's notes...

    Nunya replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! That's pretty bold of that site! And possibly

  5. New Nurse Struggling With Doctor Calls

    Nunya replied to nursem8's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Also, there's no shame in running things past the charge nurse and asking her for suggestions, to talk to doctors etc. I like to keep calling the doctors back if the patient doesn't get better, yeah,...

  6. BSN - no experience and lots of children

    Nunya replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion but maybe get a staff nurse job for longer than 4 months before you spend thousands of dollars and hours becoming a NP. We all think we'd like something before we actually DO

  7. Mom with dementia having hallucinations

    Nunya replied to kar212's topic in General Nursing

    OK, here are all the things the nurses suggested.... UTI, one gal said she's been negative on labs but still having sxs that went away with abx Sleep deprivation/ benzos to help with...

  8. Mom with dementia having hallucinations

    Nunya replied to kar212's topic in General Nursing

    A friend's mom had the same thing happen, they eventually diagnosed her with Lewy Body dementia. I posted her case on the fb page "School Nursing" and got lots of suggestions of things to check....

  9. Tips For Being A Preceptor

    Nunya replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly what they did at a military hospital I worked at. The "preceptor" had LESS than 1 year's experience on the floor, and it was her first assignment as a nurse. But she was bubbly and...

  10. Designated NICU staff or all float staff ?

    Nunya replied to WifeMotherNurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh yeah, this is teetering, and more on the dangerous side than safe side. NICU is an ICU and quite frankly so is L&D. Your hospital is giving a few weeks orientation in a NICU and then someone...

  11. Working Less Than 8-Hour Shifts?

    Nunya replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've been able to pick up 3-7 when a 8 hour person was going home, or work 7p-11p to bridge the gap between a 12 hour day and an 8 hour night nurse, but it's not scheduled, it's all

  12. Working Less Than 8-Hour Shifts?

    Nunya replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think any job (edit: any hospital or LTC job) will let you take every Saturday off, even if you work every Sunday. That would be splitting up your weekend which means someone else would have...

  13. Forgot to note this/Endorse that

    Nunya replied to ImmaRNnow's topic in General Nursing

    If you think it's really important you can call and tell the nurse when you get home, then you won't be thinking about

  14. Not Sure What Direction To Go From Here...

    Nunya replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think you'll have the same if not more direct contact with patients as a NP. Have you thought about trying to do something like case mgmt, infection control, research? Edit: or a work from...

  15. Non Accredited (but approved) Nursing Schools

    Nunya replied to Summer365's topic in School, College Programs

    Florida doesn't really care about educating it's students. Many, many charter and private schools here with no oversight, no minimum requirements, no state or federal testing. And of course the...

  16. Pre employment drug screen

    Nunya replied to PsychnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I bet it's because you're

  17. Any 22 weekers out there?

    Nunya replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  18. Getting off orientation too early?

    Nunya replied to Bean0621's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's great your coworkers will help you till you finish, I hope it all works out. I'm prior Air Force and had 4 overseas assignments so now I'm really curious, where are you going? And what...

  19. Single parenting and nursing hours?? Help Me please!

    Nunya replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    1. Get a fb without your real name. Mine is my first name and a different last name, due to harassment. And I don't post pics of myself very often, nor much identifying info. You don't have to...

  20. Discouraged

    Nunya replied to Freespirit2020's topic in General Nursing

    Some places may not want to interview you if you have an out of state address, or even out of area. If they already have lots of applicants they may figure why interview sometime who isn't here yet...

  21. Recommendation for new nurse

    Nunya replied to Adelaf02's topic in General Nursing

    What exactly is the unit? Inpatient or outpatient? Postpartum? Antepartum? GYN surgery? Will you be responsible for well

  22. Getting off orientation too early?

    Nunya replied to Bean0621's topic in General Nursing

    Quit. Quit now. She's punishing you for something that's out of your control. If something

  23. Between a rock and a hard place (or Sedated patient deemed me uncompassionate)

    Nunya replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, I take what a charge nurse says about clinical skills/decisions/management more to heart than what a manager says. You did fine, don't worry about it. Sometimes being "fired" is a...

  24. MMJ Card

    Nunya replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    So what are you going to do about the 4 years of nursing school, 2+/- to get a Master's and then about 2 working under a doctor? I ask again, have you tried other meds for your

  25. MMJ Card

    Nunya replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a diagnosis by a doctor? I ask because I've had 3 in my life but totally self-diagnosed. And have you tried other things? If you haven't you probable need to, before going to
