want to be an rn

I know a few kids with medical needs that got nursing yeah its like babbysitting but getting a pt. with more needs like a trached one or something would be more simulating

Recently, I stayed overnight with a family friend's child in the hospital, it was Columbia (ICU stepdown, central nine or eight can't remember) the nurse assigned to the child I was staying at was phenomenal and we had a great time chatting for a long time and I wanted to somehow get her recognition for it how can I do that when I unfortunately forgot her name she was from Texas I think I'm writing details so if she is on this sight she will hopefully see it shout out the the best nurse of progressive's care in Columbia children's (im Jewish and the so was the kid) if anyone knows how I can get her maybe a mention in the daisy award thing lmk thanks

I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a good brand of scrubs without pockets that has a mock wrap look. I love the look, but don't want pockets

What is she doing Like if you don't have a license, you don't have one

Hey, I'm not a nurse, but I have been working as a nurse assistant in a pediatric clinic for a month now, and have worked with the special needs population. Based on my experience with children who have developmental disabilities and medical needs, my advice is always to be ten steps ahead of them. If they can have a conversation, try to maintain that while you conduct your procedures. and most of all have fun

I was in the hospital a lot this Spring with a family friend's baby and there were big signs all over telling visitors no to video the staff. It's strange that your hospital doesn't do that

thanks, I'm working as a medical assistant and was going to buy them and wanted to know if they're comfortable

hey aside from the price of figs are they good scrubs

there are no childrens homes for them

I'm embarking on my journey as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and would greatly appreciate any tips or advice from those with experience in this field. What are some essential things I should keep in mind as I begin this new chapter? Are there specific skills or insights that could help make my transition smoother? Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Poor women, I'm glad that she is happy and that children today don't have to go through what she did. Also, back in the 60s, it was much less common for people to keep their children. Today, there are so many services that make holding a child who is challenged at home so much easier

so beautiful and true

thank you all for your answers, I appreciate it I'm going to be applying to nursing school and I can't wait I love medicine and everything about it, from the information to the hands-on I just love to learn about it im not sure if this belongs here but its another question I had so I guess ill put it here do you guys hate when the people staying by the patient ask questions? I go to volunteer for patients in my community and stay with them in the hospital all the time, mostly peds. I'm wondering if nurses find the questions I ask annoying.

Hi rose_queen Thanks for your reply, yes I would definitely and happily work Sundays if that meant I could get a job Also, do you think with my experience I would be able to land a job in a peds hospital, taking religion out of the equation for a moment

I apologize, I put this in the wrong answer originally. Here it is again Hello Nurse Beth, Firstly, I would like to thank you for your response. It was clear, insightful, and respectful of my Sabbath observance. I want to emphasize that I specifically want to work in a hospital setting, as I believe starting there will be a lot of benefit in the future. Additionally, I feel that the skills I have accumulated over the years in my involvement in the medical field would be useful, and I have a passion for using those skills to help the people around me. Moreover, I would love the opportunity to work in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) or even the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU). Critical care truly resonates with me. I'm wondering if you think I have a chance of pursuing a career in pediatrics in a hospital setting. Also, could you provide me with advice on what kind of job prior to nursing school would give me leverage to secure a better position once I graduate? Thank you so much for your response. I look forward to hearing from you!
