  1. many rejection letters crying all day..

    TeenyBabyRN replied to pleasetakeme's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    PLEASETAKE, This may be a dumb question, but how are you handling the recommendations for all the different schools? It seems many schools have their own form, while some want a written recommendation...

  2. How rude are surgeons?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  3. SRNA's and CRNA's I need your help!

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Trauma Tom's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  4. flu shot

    TeenyBabyRN replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Got mine back in October, but I've been sick as a dog for the last 2 weeks anyway. I've heard reports on the news that the strain that is getting so bad was not included in this year's shot.

  5. must allow nursery observation?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to threesacharm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Doctors' orders that contradict hospital policy DO NOT have to be followed (and will not be followed by nurses who want to keep their jobs), so that offers no guarantees. As a NICU nurse, I see...

  6. does anyone get to wear fun scrubs

    TeenyBabyRN replied to S5777's topic in General Nursing

    Mario, think nothing of raspberry as a color choice. At the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore (assoc. with U of Maryland) Docs and Nurses, male and female, (although I believe the majority are actually...

  7. Pedi/NICU Interviews

    TeenyBabyRN replied to JuicyJem's topic in General Nursing

    YES YES YES! Very good advice. I worked in a unit like that once - it did not start out that way, but evolved without my noticing. Then one day I was taking care of a very unstable baby on a jet vent...

  8. whats that about?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to colleenee2's topic in General Nursing

    A good way to find out if nursing is what you think it is would be to see if you can set up a "shadowing" experience with an RN in a field you might be interested in. Some units are very willing to...

  9. What is with these martyrs?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to oramar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh please! Give me a

  10. Do you wear gloves

    TeenyBabyRN replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    a large University affiliated hospital I used to work for still has latex gloves on all the units and in all the rooms. It practically takes acts of both God and congress to get them to provide...

  11. Hope

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Chompers's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you dont mind my asking, where were you accepted and what was the nature of the interviews? What types of questions were asked? Were the interviewers personable or was it a firing squad?...

  12. Do you believe in a "calling" to nursing?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    LOL and Ditto

  13. large and growing hepatitis outbreak linked to Chi Chi's

    TeenyBabyRN replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    It sure hasn't been unusual this year! There was a hepA outbreak in TN/NC in early October that originated at an O'Charley's restaurant. Yuck! I may never eat out again. (Yeah,

  14. Questions, questions ..

    TeenyBabyRN replied to coffeejavule's topic in General Nursing

    ADN is Associate Degree in Nursing (as opposed to a diploma in nursing or a BSN - Bachelor of Science in Nursing) All of the above = RN LVN is Licensed Vocational nurse = same thing as LPN 2nd - There...

  15. Nurses Not Answering Call Bells

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Dolphin777's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree, this person is NOT right to ANY degree. A HOSPITAL IS NOT A HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Troll, Go

  16. Nlnac = Ccne?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to talldollNYC's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, accreditation of the school has no influence on employment prospects. Some state boards, however, may require NLNAC accreditation to issue the nursing license. I'm not sure about...

  17. What is your least favorite.....

    TeenyBabyRN replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    ITA 3rdshiftguy! Irritable and demanding people are the WORST part of the job. As for the icky stuff - I can stand to look at almost anything as long as I don't have to smell it! Odors put me over...

  18. what inspired you to work in nicu?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to TxADNstudent's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have wanted to work in the NICU ever since I knew what neonatal intensive care was - probably about sophomore year in HS. I just felt that the babies needed me more than the big people. I'm...

  19. Changed my mind

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Jamiers's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you shellsie - this board is actually a very positive place. It gives us a place to vent and find support when our jobs get us down and often serves to remind us why we keep going back....

  20. Opinions on my change project

    TeenyBabyRN replied to rachel_oldham's topic in General Nursing

    What are those who resist giving as their rationale? If it is "but that's not the way we've always done it" -- sorry, but that just doesn't fly. This is routine in both units I work in. In PICU, each...

  21. What can my BA Sociology do?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to saraMI's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse educator positions in a hospital typically require a BSN plus years of experience as a nurse. Education positions as in teaching in a nursing school require no less than a master's degree. It...

  22. Thoughts on the flu shot

    TeenyBabyRN replied to mario_ragucci's topic in General Nursing

    The flu vaccine is a killed virus and cannot give you the flu, HOWEVER if you have already been exposed to the virus or are exposed within the first 1-2 weeks of getting the shot, it will not prevent...

  23. q3hr bolus OG/NG feedings

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    With the exceptions of trophic feeds or parents who want to participate by holding the syringe for baby to NG by gravity, I have never used either method. Everywhere I have worked, all feedings that...

  24. Nurses caps!

    TeenyBabyRN replied to FERTMYRTOBRN's topic in General Nursing

    You could always wear the white ballcap with a big ol' RN embroidered on the front of it. Heck, I'd wear that before I'd ever wear one of the "traditional" nurses caps (never have, never will!), and...

  25. Difference between MSN and MSA degree.

    TeenyBabyRN replied to szoozoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
