    To mask or not to mask

    RNNPICU posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    So I have been having some discussions with nurses and non-health care people about use of masks. I think because I see so many people inappropriately using masks, even N95 that look like they are an...

    Is it fine if a Nurse applies to a different position at a workplace and then changes their position later on?

    RNNPICU replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Since you don't have experience in housekeeping and you have a nursing license I can't imagine you would be a good candidate for that position. Just keep trying. It is hard right now because since...

    Need validation ASAP!

    RNNPICU replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure how your name would be all over this. You assessed a patient, found an emergent need, got the patient to the appropriate level of care. You can only rely on what was previously...

    Family member being tested?

    RNNPICU replied to Allison Applegate's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While you are in close contact, some places may tell you to wear a mask at work, guide hand hygiene, until results come back. If you were a surgical mask while at work you are protecting others. But...

    To mask or not to mask

    RNNPICU replied to RNNPICU's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you Wuzzie and StwbrybindRN for your replies. Yes, Wuzzie, I do know that many are asymptomatic, I wasn't intentionally trying to insinuate otherwise. I think the hard part for me is I would...

    Burning Bridges?

    RNNPICU replied to speedynurse's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It does sound like this is a conversation that needs to happen. It is okay that you are not able to do nights, not everyone can and it isn't natural for our bodies to do it. Don't feel embarrased,...

    Refusing an assignment 1 day in advance

    RNNPICU replied to Decisions7's topic in General Nursing

    Are you referring to asking the charge nurse to not assign you to the same patient? If so, depending on the situation you might be able to ASK if to have a different assignment the following day. But...

    Yes, in addition, many hospitals would run a basic credit check as a condition of employment and it would show

    Aye Davey Do: Still love the comic drawings. You have a true talent. I really am sorry things got really blown out of proportion. Seems like once you put up a little fight, others took it to thinking...

    Exactly... Why protect Clark with such loyalty. I think they will come up with some false accusations. Please make sure you have your ducks in a row and at least something. Again, best wishes. I am...

    Petition for all states to join NLC (Nursing licensure compact)

    RNNPICU replied to Harley Rn's topic in General Nursing

    Some States are waiving the State License and will accept others from another state as long as the license is in good standing. I think a pro/con discussion would be needed. Not sure what the pros and...

    Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    RNNPICU replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in General Nursing

    Again, being an average student has absolutely zero to do with getting into a specialty. Talk to the person who let you shadow. Ask them what makes a new grad a good candidate. Again, just because...

    Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    RNNPICU replied to RubyJuly2020's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure why you gave up... There is nothing that indicated you couldn't get a job in OB. Why did you let other people's experiences and opinions weigh you down so much. I am quite shocked that you...

    Well... they are in a sense. They know that the issues you raise are significant, yet really do not like having to deal with adversity or anything that rocks the happy boat. They may not be truly...
