  1. To mask or not to mask

    Herecomesthesun replied to RNNPICU's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My PICOT question for the Evidence Based Nursing class is regarding the effectiveness of reusable cloth masks. I have read about 5 scholarly articles/ studies about the effectiveness. I too was...

  2. Face masks

    Herecomesthesun replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    I work in the hospital, and we are conserving our supply too. We are keeping them at the nursing desk instead of leaving them out on the floor, and advised to hand them to family members only if they...

  3. I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    Herecomesthesun replied to Puppylover0213's topic in General Nursing

    You are currently unhappy and depressed in your NICU job. When you interview, go with the mindset that will ensure you work somewhere that will satisfy you. If you get weird, negative vibes from...

  4. PACU "brain/cheat sheet"?

    Herecomesthesun replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in PACU

    This is such a good question. Congratulations! I may be able to transition from med-surg to PACU next year too. I would also like to ask what are the things you definitely need to know. For instance...

  5. Timetravel

    Herecomesthesun replied to RN_OneDay's topic in General Nursing

    I'd tell myself not to be afraid to get school loans, don't move out of your childhood home until after you finish school. I spent over 10 years in school just because I insisted on paying my own way,...

  6. ICU or IMU telemetry?

    Herecomesthesun replied to RNTX1's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!! That is awesome. I agree with a lot of the other nurses here. I also want to emphasize that I think the magnet hospital is the way to go because they will support your transition to...

  7. Feel like an incompetent nurse

    Herecomesthesun replied to PinkRose34's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are doing a great job. You will become more confident the longer you work. I too have anxiety about not giving a thorough report. My floor gives the assignment before the next shift...

  8. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    Herecomesthesun replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Can you also get in contact with the paramedic that was there that day and get a notorized statement that she had admitted to poisoning you? I think this would be good just for your own

  9. What should I have done differently? Did I endanger my patient?

    Herecomesthesun replied to misha's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with many here that the oncoming nurses response was inappropriate, and also could have made the BP higher. I don't think I saw anyone else mentioyn that if the patient was on IV fluids you...

  10. How Do You Fit In 30mins Of Exercise In Your Work Day?

    Herecomesthesun replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work 3 busy 12hr shifts at the hospital, but do some yoga on my lunch break, and carry some workout clothes, and go running for about 30 minutes immediately after my night shift. I borrow a clean...

  11. Seniority and preferential scheduling

    Herecomesthesun replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like my opinion is unpopular, but I will share it. If I were a new grad and took this job, I'd probably be looking for something better within a year. This may be "fair" but I really feel...

  12. Nurse bringing child to work

    Herecomesthesun replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing

    I feel terrible for this mom, that being said I would never want my kid at my work. There are too many gross things there. I won't even hug or kiss when I get home before I have a thorough

  13. I'm in desperate need of help!!!!

    Herecomesthesun replied to aria9981's topic in General Nursing

    If you have invested in personal nursing insurance consult them regarding legal advice. They may supply you with an attorney or free legal advice. Or ask HR if they supply legal advice. If you have a...

  14. Abuse of nurses

    Herecomesthesun replied to JMune's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm sorry to say, but I am laughing at this. I have dealt with too many difficult patients and family! Some people can be so awful! It doesn't sound like your management is helping either. I'm...

  15. Job Opportunity or Relationship

    Herecomesthesun replied to ctruon1's topic in General Nursing

    If the previous comments haven't convinced you yet I think you may want to look at what you wrote in the first place. You listed all the benefits of taking the job in SF, but none of the benefits of...

  16. My career is costing me my mental health and I am afraid

    Herecomesthesun replied to CatRescuer223's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Contact HR, see if they provide counseling, and go to your Dr and ask about your options to take medical leave. Go to counseling while on leave and really think about whether this job is worth it....

  17. RRT on Patient for Hospice

    Herecomesthesun replied to Crocsing's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient was a DNR I certainly would not call an RRT, but if the patient was having difficulty breathing it may be appropriate to call the Respiratory Therapist, then the Dr if needed... Make...
