  1. First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    juviasama replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. This is a good suggestion. There are nursing fields where you barely handle medication. I work as a school nurse and in one day I have 8 different students walk in my clinic for their...

  2. is it doable to work night shift after having a baby?

    juviasama posted a topic in General Nursing

    hello everyone, I'm trying to get opinions.. My husband works in an office from M-F, and so do I. Currently I am pregnant and I will deliver on September. I am planning to keep my position as a school...

  3. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    juviasama replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    well, to be fair, I believe nurses in the United States are still more blessed than nurses in developing countries. Nurses in the United States get paid way more than nurses in developing countries...

  4. Any nurses pursue master degree that is not related to nursing?

    juviasama posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious if anyone pursues master degree that is not related to nursing, such as engineer or psychology or anything else? And also what's the reason? Please share if you don't mind. Thank you

  6. How do you get a sub?

    juviasama replied to Jenniferocious's topic in School

    I have no idea that you have to find your own sub. In my district, the supervisor takes care of it. We just text her early in the morning that we cannot work and she takes care of the rest. Downside?...

  7. What would you do?

    juviasama replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly if I could turn back time, I wouldn't choose nursing. I'd rather pursue an office job.. Nursing offers variety and job security, but dealing with patients and their families is so

  8. Critical Care Eliticism?

    juviasama replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Well, some people just have a God

  9. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    juviasama replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm indifferent with the professions.. I only care with his personality. Whether he's a nurse or non health care professionals, it doesn't really matter. But as a nurse, I would prefer a non-nurse...

  10. NP schools without an RN license

    juviasama replied to Sun1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I dont think you can do acute care NP without acute care RN experience. But for FNP program, schools don't always require RN experience. If you're not sure which specialty you want to do, PA would be...

  11. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    juviasama replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Yes.. The large dialysis centers offer an extensive training. They hire new grad too, but the working hours can be brutal.. It could be up to 16 hours in a day.. But my sister in law loves it because...

  12. Get your med surg experience early!

    juviasama replied to Just Dave's topic in Nursing Career

    I had a coworker with 6 years of med surg experience and she complained how hard it was to switch specialty. Problem is the hospital has to value her years of nursing experience but she does not have...

  13. Am I good enough?

    juviasama replied to littlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    While it might not look good on resume, it doesnt mean you cannot secure a good job in the future. I lasted 9 months on my first job in a psych hospital and lasted 8 months on my second job in an...

  14. "Old New Grad" - Need Resume/Cover Letter Advice

    juviasama replied to KBabiesRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would do PDN first for at least a year then try the hospital. I knew many new grads who do PDN first then they could finally secure a position in the hospital after one to two years. Good

  15. Considering ICU.... among several other options

    juviasama replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Good news for you: you don't have to do bedside if it's not working out for you. Just like facultyRN mentioned, you can do occupational health, public health or clinic which is more task oriented and...

  16. RN providing total care for 4-5 patients

    juviasama replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I'm sorry that happened to you! I once also had 7 patients on day shift with 3 to 4 totals and it's very hard, and when my totals requested shower, I felt like I wanted to cry. Not because that I...

  17. PMHNP- Salary expectations

    juviasama replied to megank5183's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Pmhnp, on average, pay higher than fnp/pnp because of higher reinbursement. Best wishes for your prigram and job

  18. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    juviasama replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    I would still check BP/HR only if the med would affect BP/HR even if it was already checked few hours before because it could change anytime. With that being said, I'm still not immune to the problem...

  19. is my school nurse experience sufficient for PNP-PC?

    juviasama posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello there, I've just started my school nursing position, before this I turned down an opportunity to work in pediatric LTC and I might regret a little bit if it hurts my chance to be a competent...

  20. is my school nurse experience sufficient for PNP-PC?

    juviasama replied to juviasama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    thank you for responding JBMmom, SopranoKris. The program that I am aiming for doesn't list the required experience, just stating that 2 years experience as an RN is preferred. Sometimes I wish they...

  21. Case Study: My Stomach Hurts

    juviasama replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Hmm it makes sense that you mentioned this. My husband was upset in the beginning. He believed my appendix had been ruptured since my first visit to the ER and it was untreated for one week. Only by...

  22. Case Study: My Stomach Hurts

    juviasama replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Honestly, I have no idea either! Probably because when I reached the ER, I was already feeling better-- the pain wasn't as excruciating as before I reached the ER. So the doctor discharged me,...

  23. Case Study: My Stomach Hurts

    juviasama replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Please carry on.... I am intrigued! Abdominal pain is very very hard to guess!! Even two different doctors in different freestanding ERs misdiagnosed my appendicitis with a peptic ulcer! I am blessed...

  24. Frustrated trying to get a hospital job!

    juviasama replied to Bcpenpal's topic in General Nursing

    No, you're not! I don't sense any feeling of entitlement from your post. I sense frustration which is understandable. Nurses here could be mean because they don't know you and they hide their...

  25. RN to BSN or straight to BSN??

    juviasama replied to Hem0043's topic in General Students

    if you could afford BSN, then just go straight for BSN. I was really eager to go straight for BSN, but being an international student makes the tuition fee very very very expensive. So I went for...
