  1. Been a nurse for 10 years, resume questions

    rnin02 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So I have been an inpatient RN for 10 years now and getting tired of it, quite frankly. Obviously I am not putting that on my resume! But, I could use some tips please. I have worked at the same...

  2. Been a nurse for 10 years, resume questions

    rnin02 replied to rnin02's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  4. Kissimmee area

    rnin02 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

  6. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    rnin02 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's the key...if you know your employer's position before you take the job, then what's the problem? You either accept the job and all the rules or you find a different one. Policies...

  7. Vitamin K administration legal/ethical nightmare!

    rnin02 replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My hospital has a form parents can sign if they wish to decline the Vit K or the erythromycin ointment. That form becomes part of the chart. I don't bother arguing with them...what's the point? At...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    rnin02 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree...seriously, I'm not male, so I can't say for sure, but how many little boys compare their member to their father's? I can't imagine it really happens that much...or if it did, the father...

  9. Death?

    rnin02 replied to Annieee's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I cried with a family is when we had a long-term patient die. She had been at our hospital for months, going between ICU and our floor, with ups and downs, but we all knew where it was...

  10. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    rnin02 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've read that the old phones were the "problem" phones as far as equipment goes, but my hospital still has the signs up everywhere (on our new buildings too) banning cell phone use. We are encouraged...

  11. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    rnin02 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I've only made it thru page 4, but I have to stop and ask...do I work at the only hospital that doesn't get cell phone reception inside? Or the only hospital that still has a sign posted "please...

  12. What do you think about a nurse breastfeeding infant at nurse's station during break?

    rnin02 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    .I agree with this and wanted to add, assuming the work station is one that's open to patients/visitors coming up to it...how do the patients know the nurse is on a break? If you read any non-nursing...

  14. What do you think about a nurse breastfeeding infant at nurse's station during break?

    rnin02 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have any issue with a nurse breastfeeding her infant during her break, I think it would be inappropriate to do so in an area where patients/visitors would be around and possibly interacting...

  15. What do you think about a nurse breastfeeding infant at nurse's station during break?

    rnin02 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is it an "open" station, right in front of the patient rooms, so patients can walk right up to it? If so, then I think it is just a tad bit inappropriate! A little unprofessional to nurse your baby...

    rnin02 replied to lorenwithano's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. Question about pumping at work.

    rnin02 replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my hospital its not really much of an issue, I've never seen anyone given anyone else a hard time about needing to pump. As long as you make sure your patients are stable before you leave, I don't...

  18. You know you work nights when.......

    rnin02 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you can truly get 4-6 hours of sleep before you go to work, it will be very, very beneficial. You will be suprised how awesome a mere 6 hours of sleep can feel. Of course, after a while it can feel...

  22. The Circumcision Discussion

    rnin02 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No gauze? We slather gauze with vaseline (I really, really pile it out) and put that gauze on. I would think that would do a better job of keeping the poop away somewhat...no gauze seems to be asking...

  23. The Circumcision Discussion

    rnin02 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    rnin02 replied to august07's topic in General Nursing
