  1. Triage Log book?

    Neveranurseagain replied to SnowbirdRN's topic in Camp

    I didn't quite like the layout of the ACA camp logs so I went to Staples (or Kinkos) and had ones made up to my spec. Check with your state also to see what they require for

  2. Fewer RNs, more support staff in the ED?

    Neveranurseagain replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    RN's need to do total care as it part of assessing and caring for pt.'s as a whole. Calling the lab and XRAY reminds the RN to check for incoming labs and xrays, and also gives her the chance to...

  3. What to do in the summer to prepare for 2nd level of nursing!!!

    Neveranurseagain replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not working consider being a camp nurse. A lot of camps hire students in addition to their usual RN's and it would be fabulous experience! There is a camp nurse forum under specialties for...

  4. First aid supplies & meds checklist

    Neveranurseagain replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Camp

    I've worked camps where on the first day of camp, the meds are taken out of the original container, placed in an envelope, then the envelope marked with the name of med, day of the weeks and times of...

  5. 13 and pregnant....

    Neveranurseagain replied to RedSox33RN's topic in Emergency

    I have to admit, LOL!, that I had to look up hunching too! Too many parents nowdays want to be their kids best friend, and leave all the responsibilities of raising their children to society. Good...

  6. Returning to Nursing & Can't Find a Job,,,,suggestions?

    Neveranurseagain replied to kitkat09's topic in General Nursing

    Check into camp nursing. Many camps pay up to $1000 a week plus room and board. Great experience, involves critical thinking and lots of meds. It will give you a little experience

  7. Need some good summer reads!

    Neveranurseagain replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    Here are my choices: Spiritual Midwifery by Ina MAy Gaskin, Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl, Practical Ethics by Peter Singer, The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, Out Of the Dust by Karen...

  8. Paramedic triage

    Neveranurseagain replied to klerrn's topic in Emergency

    I suggest to all the ER nurses out there: Go take an EMT Basic Course! Yes, I can feel the indignation that many of you have that you are already an RN but you will be amazed at how much you would...

  9. Nurses "on-call" related to low census; Am I rightfully angry?

    Neveranurseagain replied to inthesky's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not defending the on call policy but what would help is a change of attitude toward being on call. Consider yourself lucky that you get to lounge around in pj's (one of my favorite things!) and...

  10. my love of nursing is gone...husband died of medical mistake

    Neveranurseagain replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in California Nursing

    It has been 2 years since my original post and I thought it was time to update my post. I am still in counseling (and probably will be for the rest of my life LOL!). I do work a little but only in...

    No, flight nursing is not an option (but heck! Them choppers don't need snow chains!) as I don't work in nursing anymore...read my post Husband Died of Medical Incident and you will see why. Nursing...

  12. Paramedic triage

    Neveranurseagain replied to klerrn's topic in Emergency

    Maybe it was the nursing school I went to but I never got a chance to start 15 IV's in one day, nor defibrillate 3 different pts, on the same day, or give multiple IVP's or hang many piggybacks on the...

  14. i need help n opinions

    Neveranurseagain replied to coldchill's topic in General Nursing

    What we think about our nursing jobs is irrelevant. You need to decide for yourself if you will like nursing. Get a job as a Nurse's Aid first to see if you like it before you go to

  19. need advice...50k for an ADN?

    Neveranurseagain replied to lolwut's topic in California Nursing

    I would think twice about spending that much $$$ in today's economy, esp with so many new grads not being able to find employment. If you do take the plunge, be prepared to move out of state to an...

    Neveranurseagain replied to tiffdeandre's topic in General Nursing

    I would REALLY think twice about spending that much $$$ in today's economy, esp. with the problem that many new grads have finding employment. If you do take the plunge, be prepared afterward to move...

    Neveranurseagain replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    When my sitter starting making more than I did (after taxes) I went part time and worked weekends or evenings so my husband could watch the

    Neveranurseagain replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Child care is not cheap. Don't forget they are caring for your most precious things in life--your children. I am a nanny, also an RN, for 14 week old twins, and am at their house from 7:00am, to...
