    Neveranurseagain replied to evie119's topic in General Nursing

    How about continuing to work at the job you have now and work part time as a CNA/PCA to be sure you like it. Caring for people part time may give you enough sense of satisfaction that you can do both....

    Neveranurseagain replied to POMD01's topic in General Nursing

    Life has been a myriad of ups and downs, alternating between depression and trying to get through life after it was turned upside down 4 yrs. ago (read my first thread...) I have not worked as an RN...

  7. new grad contract

    Neveranurseagain replied to mnf626's topic in General Nursing

    I like the way they spring it on you AFTER you accept...they should have been up front about it. But doesn't surprise me. Review the contract for the fine details. Working two years is not that...

  9. New to camp nursing and need some guidance

    Neveranurseagain replied to iLovemyJackRT's topic in Camp

    Some camps do pay rather well...how about $800-$1000 week plus room and board! Positions are usually for 8-12 weeks but some camps let you bring your kids

  11. NEED nurses input

    Neveranurseagain replied to griffly's topic in General Nursing

    Why not bring back the LPN's and CNA's for these tasks? Why create another nursing sub specialty whose training will vary from hospital to hospital? This system worked for years until the almightly...

    Neveranurseagain replied to tmclpn's topic in General Nursing

  13. Good Samaritans

    Neveranurseagain replied to sumoe's topic in General Nursing

    "as long as you don't screw up really bad." I feel acting in a panic and pulling someone from a car is a really bad screw up...and the Good Sam act will still cover you if you render medical aid...but...

  15. Good Samaritans

    Neveranurseagain replied to sumoe's topic in General Nursing

    I feel this ruling backs up what I used to teach in my first aid classes--do only what is taught in your class for your level of training and NEVER move an injured person unless leaving them there...

  16. What would you do???

    Neveranurseagain replied to nikkitd's topic in Private Duty

    Let the family know they will be responsible for covering shifts if a nurse they hired does not show up. Remind them you cannot work 24 hr shifts and will need to call Adult Protective Services if the...

  17. NEED nurses input

    Neveranurseagain replied to griffly's topic in General Nursing

    Neveranurseagain replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. RN Working Under Standing Orders

    Neveranurseagain replied to HealthCenterDirector's topic in General Nursing

    You might check your local public health dept also. When I worked there we had standing orders to issue BCP's (after the pt filled out a questioner) to returning pt's under standing orders. But the...

    Neveranurseagain replied to HealthCenterDirector's topic in General Nursing
