  1. Had to give Epi Today!

    TinyDancer01 replied to linda1959's topic in School

    I think you did everything right! I wouldn't have been sure either. I wouldn't worry too much about teaching the staff on this particular episode other than give if in doubt because how do you teach...

  2. What brought you to where you are now?

    TinyDancer01 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I graduated with my BSN (thanks to my aunt who was a nurse telling me to get it done and I would never regret it and would want/need it some day and she was right). I started on a horrible toxic...

  3. Kinsa

    TinyDancer01 replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    Why in the world did they include lice tracking? It's not an illness but it is a surefire way to create panic.í

  4. Kinsa

    TinyDancer01 replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    Several in our county did the program including me. I mainly signed up so the families who could not afford a thermometer would be able to get one for free. However, these were not the families who...

  5. How Do You Know When to Call It? (Career)

    TinyDancer01 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are questioning the competency of the care you can give then I do think it's time to let that go or find something less demanding. I also struggle with auto immune illnesses and did try...

  6. Come down and take your meds!

    TinyDancer01 replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Middle school kids HATE to be embarrassed so showing up to see him and maybe even offering to put a sticker chart in the classroom for him (and all his buddies to see) may help him remember. I'd be...

  7. Baking soda for bug bites

    TinyDancer01 replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Be careful. I once went to use it and a girl said does it have peanuts in it because I'm allergic and I'm like how could it? So I checked the back of the box and it did say processed on equipment that...

  8. Depressed in Nursing School

    TinyDancer01 replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

    I've been here. What got me through was not wanting to start all over again with another degree and finding some areas of nursing I thought didn't sound too bad. I don't think it's ever good to make a...

  9. Keep M-F Endo or leave for CCU 12's?

    TinyDancer01 replied to melaniew281's topic in Nursing Career

    Things to consider: Why did you leave the floor in the first place? If you left because you got burnt out quickly or didn't like the schedule then stay where you are. Are you sure you want to be a...

  10. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    TinyDancer01 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am contemplating returning to the hospital. I'm almost 50. I left a 12 hr day shift position 5yrs ago because I literally did not sit down the entire 13 hours I was there on a busy med surg floor...

  11. Good idea or not?

    TinyDancer01 posted a topic in General Nursing

    In your opinion would it be a good idea to leave a Mon-Fri 8 hr job to work 12 hr weekends on med-surg at the hospital in order to babysit my baby grandson during the week? I'm not sure I could get...

  12. Good idea or not?

    TinyDancer01 replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all your advice. I didn't find any advice cold. I understood what she was saying but I will still plan to help out as much as possible. I have lots of days off where I do help and sometimes...

  13. Good idea or not?

    TinyDancer01 replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your advice! I think you're right about staying put. I was letting my emotions get in the way and clouding what I bet my gut is trying to tell me. Thanks for giving me some...

  14. Too old for OB?

    TinyDancer01 replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well I didn't get the job. I'm just thinking of applying for a different position in the same place and hope one will open up after a while. Thanks for the encouragement

  15. Back on med/surg after 15 years

    TinyDancer01 replied to unknownjulie's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds overwhelming! How awful about the drug issues. My daughter in law works on a step down unit where half the people are admitted due to drug related issues. Very sad indeed and scary. Are you...

  16. Too old for OB?

    TinyDancer01 replied to TinyDancer01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are absolutely right! In my mind, I feel as young as ever. My body reminds me I'm not. It just seems everyone my age is running away from the hospital and not back towards it so I was just hoping...

  17. Back on med/surg after 15 years

    TinyDancer01 replied to unknownjulie's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! Maybe it's a regional thing as they are STILL called "chux" around

  18. Back on med/surg after 15 years

    TinyDancer01 replied to unknownjulie's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing! You're an inspiration to me as I'm also debating giving up an easy job to return to the hospital around your age. Please continue to let us know how you're doing!!!

  19. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    TinyDancer01 replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into those. I agree a lot has to do with the hospital/unit but those are hard to find. Our peds unit is half peds, half adults and I have no idea if it would help...
