  1. Soon To be New Grad moving to Ralight NC, Looking for work! PLEASE HELP!

    kristenncrn replied to GTammaro's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Rex Healthcare is in Raleigh. Also, Duke Health Raleigh, but to be perfectly frank, I haven't heard too many people who are very happy working there. Hopefully that is changing since it has been...

  2. Respiratory issues & desats

    kristenncrn replied to ilovepeds's topic in Pediatric

    Totally agree with vamedic's advice! And also with Qwiigley about parents and Emily's thoughts.... Babies desat - the alarms will go off constantly - especially if it is a well baby with RSV (by...

  3. Wake Tech CC

    kristenncrn replied to LPN4U's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I started to answer this the other day and my computer crashed! What did you like about it/dislike? Like: good clinicals with a wide range of options, good prep for NC-CLEX, fantastic adjunct faculty...

  4. What is the inside skinny on NC and adn - vs - BSN

    kristenncrn replied to NursePamela's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    My hospital has more ADNs and there doesn't really seem to be any real recognition of levels until you talk about management. I have heard people ICUs talk about it informally, but I know the PICU...

  7. Nurses at the State of the Union Address

    kristenncrn replied to MollyMel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think any time a nurse is held up in a position of esteem and highlighted for having kicked butt, it's a good thing for our profession. I might draw the line at sitting next to Newt... just...

  8. Pediatric Vaccinations

    kristenncrn replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Pediatric

    Hmmmm... when I worked in an office, I would say that every different doc/health care provider did "make up" vaccines slightly differently! And a lot depends on why the kid was going slow in the first...

  9. Syringe Size for Medications in CVL

    kristenncrn replied to learnin2day's topic in Pediatric

    Our hospital has a similar policy except we use a 12 mL. If a med comes up in a 3 mL syringe, you just stick a needle on the 3 mL, pull back the plunger on the 12 mL and insert the syringe tip into...

  10. Communication tips with parents and children?

    kristenncrn replied to floridagirl08's topic in Pediatric

    I absolutely agree with everything janfrn says! If you are a floor nurse, like I am a lot of the time, getting the docs in to the room can sometimes take forever! We are a teaching hospital, so the...
