I've always had to give 4 weeks notice

It takes a while to fit in with new coworkers. Give them time and I'm sure you'll be considered part of the team. I don't think it's recommended that one goes into travel nursing with so little experience. What support to you perceive that you're lac...

It actually stresses me out how long it takes them to get on the chest in a code situation. Instead of cpr, the just stand there talking

Try other provinces? Under served communities?

Any local food banks or shelters

I'm curious as the clinical reasoning behind keeping the patient supine as this is not a drug I'm familiar with. Could you have turned the patient to their side? No longer an aspiration risk

Your story raises red flags with me, and I don't think it confirms the point you were trying to make, but its partially it's because we don't know your background and experience. Were you icu/ Er trauma trained at this point? Had you cared for vents/...

It was a horrible event and the nurse screwed up, but I can guarantee you that every error made is from not doing checks or having a momentary lapse of judgment. You will make errors, which may or may not have severe consequences. Your level of anger...

Vandy patient dies after nurse gives lethal dose of wrong drug; puts Medicare at risk - NewsChannel 5 Nashville I'm curious why the hospital didn't report the error

I wouldn't as its outside of the scope of the job youve been hired for

I personally like my young lightly roasted and sprinkled with salt before eating them personally

I wouldn't say infection is a current priority based off the evidence offered. It sounds more like a " risk of" at best. Low hgb really has no bearing on infection, neither does liver cancer, unless he is being treated with chemo and has become immun...

Many hospital policies leave me wondering why; however, the fact is either you accept their terms or not work for them. However, think of it from the organization's perspective. An employee gets sick with the flu, because they couldn't get the vaccin...

Before I call the doc, I've learned to have done an assessment for the pertinen details and I've written down what I think I'd important for them to know (I swear I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes) so I have my pertinent points. Some doc's wa...

Is it a union job? All union jobs should start at the same wage

I would not want my patients to have my personal phone number for several reasons. I'm surprised the hospital doesn't give you a work phone

Will Ontario allow you to work as an RN and an NP? I know some of the NPs I work with state they miss bedside, but have to go to different provinces to work as an RN as the BCCNP won't allow the dual roles.

Canadian here. Since weeds been federally legalized, our BON and employers policy is essentially to maintain ones fitness to practice and not come into work impaired. Granted our drug culture is much different than that if the US. I've never had to u...

You see it a lot unfortunately

You sure you didn't walk into a hotel by accident?

I wouldn't accept a verbal order from her, and would make her document it on the order sheet. To my knowledge, it isn't an arrestable offence if you report her, often what happens is a fine is posed to the individual and a notice on the BONs website ...

I would report it to your bon after talking to her and reminding her nurse is a protected term

I feel alarmed that you are bored in ICU. As a new grad, you will get easier assignments and more stable patients, but the majority of ICU work is critically thinking: why does you patient present like this, what factors are involved, do you give x m...

I've never heard of flushing an art line with heparin. Is that a standard practice?

I maintain it's a valid question as she hasn't been practicing as a nurse for 9 years. I know my BON requires a refresher course if you have less than x amount of hours in so many years. The scope of a CMA, as well as the critical thinking is differe...
