    allnurses has Become so Politicized

    LovingPeds replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree to an extent. Lively debate helps people grow. The thing about lively debate though is that, even when it's personal, it's never taken to spiteful or catty place. Growth, self-discovery, and...

    Nurses Refilling Prescriptions

    LovingPeds replied to Garden's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is okay and acceptable. I can give you an example of a similar inpatient scenario. Working inpatient pediatrics something as simple as ibuprofen is weight based. Our order would be something...

    How far can hospital go?

    LovingPeds replied to RNTX31's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I used to work at mandated cross training to other "sister units". As peds, our sister units were nursery and NICU. Post-partum was a sister unit to L&D. Occasionally some in PP would...

    Pediatric Cardiovascular acute unit

    LovingPeds replied to smiles and medicine's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I didn't directly work acute CV as an RN, but I did some work in the CVICU as a NP student. I did my final residency there. It's a very specialized area, but the role of the pediatric CV RN is the...

    A working NP applying for per diem RN position

    LovingPeds replied to luckycat's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can't speak from the point of a manager who would review it, but from a chronological order usually you start from your current or last job working back. Either way, they're going to realize you're...

    antibiotic guideline

    LovingPeds replied to vuphan86's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes. Different world all together. Macrobid suspension is really expensive ($400+ for less than 240 mL) and not well tolerated. You have to sprinkle capsules in food if you go that route which can...

    antibiotic guideline

    LovingPeds replied to vuphan86's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work outpatient peds. We treat our UTIs with weight/age based Keflex. Adolescents are treated with Keflex or Bactrim. Anyone with a combination UTI/sinusitis type situation is prescribed Augmentin....

    Provider Service Agreement Concerns

    LovingPeds replied to lbnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree with Rnis. The mandatory 90 days is a little long for my personal tastes. If I were you, I would try to negotiate that clause to 30 - 60 days OR 90 days with the sum waived if the presence of...

    Need help with resume & cover letter

    LovingPeds replied to mively90's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You're welcome. I think I may have gone too far. I found this post in 'What's New'. I didn't realize there was a whole resume help section where people just give advice. Everyone has their own...

    Need help with resume & cover letter

    LovingPeds replied to mively90's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I set it to upload and made some corrections thinking the correct one would upload. Apparently it didn't. Instead of 'Maintenance of positive relationships with patients and the healthcare team' as...

    Need help with resume & cover letter

    LovingPeds replied to mively90's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's been a while since I wrote a resume and everyone does it differently. Rather than "Profile" list usually what I see is more of a "Summary" that is one to two lines that sum up your experience...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I've said that from the start. There is no justification for the looting, but I'm not arguing the point of justification. As I have said multiple times, I look at actions - not words. Looting runs...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Please, before you presume, read my other posts. I don't believe that those protesting for equal justice and freedom are doing the majority of the looting. I don't believe that because anyone with a...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes, that's part of the problem. A number of looters aren't protesters at all, but people taking advantage of the situation in order to loot. The people paying the price are the peaceful protesters...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    That's just it. The whole point. They're not my experiences. They are other people's experiences that I see vicariously. The majority of the US population is whitewashed to some extent. If there is...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I meant from the community level toward the black community. Not from it. Such as supporting programs that benefit the local schools, increasing education (which sucks in most of these areas), and...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    As I have said, actions speak louder than words and always tell the truth. When the words and the actions (and their results) don't match, there is a problem. I've known local senators and congressmen...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm aware of the truth about not owning anything. I addressed it in an earlier post. It's a huge crisis here in my area. Ten years ago there wasn't a single black family in my neighborhood. Now it's a...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't trust anyone from either side of our political system if I'm honest. Every one of them (from both sides) has an agenda that puts themselves in a position to gain power (political, financial,...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I disagree. Not with the being more upset over the looting part, because everyone should be more upset that a man lost his life, but that the visibility that the looting brings will change things. I...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm not discounting the racial inequality in Minnesota, but it's not the only place experiencing it. My area was described by the UN as "comparable to a third world country" because of the housing...

    New GraduateWith 3 Incident Reports

    LovingPeds replied to Taito29's topic in General Nursing

    Most people who just start out working as a nurse have a difficult time with it. There is an adjustment period that occurs with novice nurses until they gain some experience. A lot of nurses feel like...

    How to get into NICU nursing from scratch?

    LovingPeds replied to LetMeNICU's topic in Men in Nursing

    Depends on your area and the program. I went RN-BSN with a rock bottom GPA because I didn't take college seriously for the first two years and bombed a lot of classes by just not showing up. My MSN...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    LovingPeds replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    When I was growing up in central Alabama I was blessed enough to get to take an African American history class my senior year in high school at the local college where several women in the class were...

    Any 22 weekers out there?

    LovingPeds replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm glad to read this. The NICU I last floated to did not routinely do skin to skin. My coworker who was a NICU nurse for 20 years before being hired on peds and I spent one night discussing it. At...
