I was wondering if anyone knows of an agency or how to get into doing private duty nursing with patients seeking surgery outside the USA. After taking a cruise focused on the touring industry, I found that there are many individuals seeking a registe...

Look around at different facilities before you anchor yourself to one that might prove too stressful for a new grad. I have worked at hospitals where we had 1:9 on day shift (med-surg/tele) and 1:12 on night shift. As people are aging and the degree ...

I agree with everybody on this issue. One note is to watch phenergan with post-surgical patients. It can increase the anesthetic if they have not fully breathed it off and can cause them to go back into a coma state. There is nothing that can take it...

Just out of curiosity how many years experience do you have? I know they do not start RN's from this area at that rate so I was wondering how much experience you have. Covenant has very high patient to nurse ratios ... average is 8-9:1 on med surg, ...

My hospital just changed over from scheduled meals to a new menu system and the patients ordering when they are hungry. This has put a lot of added stress on the nurses because now we have to direct our diabetics when to eat and then juggle their in...

;)I am also a member of NNOC. Looking at the history of California and what is happening to our Texas nurses raises concerns that Texas is headed down the same road. What is going to happen when our patients are calling 911 from the hospital? Look...

First you need to consider why you want to go into nursing and then consider how much time you are willing to give to this project. If you want to be more in the managerial part of nursing, I would suggest going to TTU for the BSN. If you want to b...
