We are here to inform people of the risks and benefits, give them the information to make informed decisions based on their personal beliefs, morals, medical history, and psychological comfort. We aren't here to judge them. I'm sure there have been s...

That's kinda how I've been feeling lately! Take advantage of the situation in front of us knowing it won't last...get on top of some bills..sock some money away, save for a vacation, etc...but the current salaried NP jobs don't pay us what we are wor...

I have been looking at the possibility of doing some travel RN while the "pay is out there" and taking a sabbatical from my NP career at this time. I was going to be asking this question myself. What company(s) have ya'll found to be goo...

Hi all... I'm currently working on getting a nurse initiated pre-op order set for our scheduled C-sections. Surgeries are being delayed; thus backed up; because the dr's are legit busy and can't physically put pre-op lab orders, VTE orders, shave/pre...

Luckily the facility I work at has their own OR and PACU in the labor and delivery unit. The hospital has baby friendly so the mother and baby separation is not done unless it is medically indicated. The care of the infant is done in the OR and finis...

I am hoping to get some information on what other hospitals are doing on their antepartum units. What types of patients do you take, (PIH, PPROM, GDM...etc?) continuous fetal monitoring done?, what is the ratio?, how often do you jump patients back a...

Not only can they be a trap, but it isn't fair (in my opinion) to those loyal employees that have dedicated their career to one place. What is the incentive to stay if you salary trickles up and those new people come in with "experience" pay and sign...

Do you work in Eastern North Carolina and what type of Unit? I work in Greenville on a medical step-down.

WOW! What a difference in all our pay...I know it sometimes depend on the area, position, and yrs experience, but there are some vast differences going on here. When I started working 7yrs ago my pay was $14.76...they new grads now start b/w $18-19....

The ICU's that I work in have restricted visitation. The first one starts at 1030 and the last is at 2030. there are 15min visitations q2h. Not to say the nurses don't allow some to stay a little longer, back if the pt is going to die, and we allow t...

After I graduated from nursing school many years ago I always promised myself that I would not forget what it was like to be a student and I have not. There are unfortunately those RN's that do not have the patience for students. On the flip side of...

thanks!!! :)

Currently trying to get everything in order to apply for CRNA school. If anyone knows of any scholarships that I could possibly apply for it would be wonderful. I live in Eastern NC btw. Thanks ahead of time!

where was the post about the NC legislation that worried you ????

ME TOO!! :)

Bed side reports!! This is the best way to clarify and demonstrate what you see and what the pt is doing or NOT doing. In the ICU (neuro-surg/surg/trauma) we do this frequently so there is no question about what the pt was like when we leave.

First off...yes I love being a nurse...but I hate having to work the major holidays This year I have been assigned X-mas Eve...which would be okay if there were only the 14 and 12yo, but the 4yo will not be able to wait until I get home X-mas Morni...

I Do greatly appreciate the support and ideas given by fellow posters here. I apologize if I came across otherwise. And Quickbeam...I did not mean it the way you must have took it...I meant...no matter if you have children or NOT...we all WANT to ce...

I want to say FIRST OFF....I know I chose this lifestyle of work...and yes I DO BELIEVE that even those without children need to celebrate with their family...this post was not meant to be taken that I was whining b/c I had to work X-mas Eve and mis...
