  1. Need Advice on potential relocation/less than one year experience.

    "nursy" replied to KAffeegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be really interested to know what your husband thinks? A lot of military families spend long periods of time apart. Can your marriage survive that? The travel option would be interesting except...

  2. Stress in my job. Is nursing really for me?

    "nursy" replied to gbchick04's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like your current problem is temporary (as long as they fix your pay). Once things settle down, hopefully you will enjoy school nursing as much as I

  3. Ruining My Career?

    "nursy" replied to NurseinBoots's topic in General Specialties

    "nursy" replied to Alararn89's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the college you are considering a position in, but if you do consider it seriously, do some research as to how that particular institution is run. I live in a university...

    "nursy" replied to 2018RNat44's topic in General Nursing

  11. Can I refuse an infant patient??

    "nursy" replied to knoelle30's topic in General Nursing

    I got to the point where I refused all pediatrics, after several very uncomfortable experiences, not with the patients, always the parents. My personality is just not well suited to interacting with...

  15. Corrections Nurse for a New Grad

    "nursy" replied to Jah Jah's topic in Correctional

    I don't know if there's a good answer for that. There are state run facilities, federal, county and private. There are a lot of private companies out there, and you may start working in a facility...

  16. Need advise from working nurses, from a student

    "nursy" replied to BSN89's topic in General Students

    It sounds like all of your other experiences were very positive with good evaluations. Your instructor already knows this, they also know that the preceptor's opinion is very subjective, and not all...

  19. What's a good starting career for a new nurse?

    "nursy" replied to Marythenurse1994's topic in General Nursing

    "nursy" replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    "nursy" replied to AlmostThere19's topic in Critical Care

  23. Severe vasovagal response.

    "nursy" replied to asystolesurgery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would guess that the majority of vasovagal responses are not caught on an EKG monitor, and so it would be hard to know just how many end up with any amount of

    "nursy" replied to Courtforshort27's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Anybody who is satting in the 70's is not going to do well no matter what you do, until you resolve the underlying reason for their low numbers. You said he was satting in the 70's long before you...

  25. Vancomycin Infusion Rate During Hemodialysis

    "nursy" replied to JamesGarland's topic in Patient Safety Issues
