    What are Your Goals for 2018??

    klone replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I only have one professional goal for the year: 1. Getting better at my job. It's been a huge learning curve, and I often feel like I'm not doing a very good job. I would like to get through an entire...

    We aren't attorneys and cannot answer legal questions. My understanding of diversion is that is in lieu of having a permanent record (meaning, you complete diversion, it's

    Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    I recently had a woman call our unit to ask if she could bring her Chihuahua in when she goes into labor, as it's her emotional support animal and would help her with breathing during

    Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    klone replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong. The Fair Housing Act recognizes "emotional support" animals. Doesn't have to be a dog, either. And actually, some dogs are livestock dogs or working animals, and are not pets or provide any...

    What's the shortest time you stayed at a job and why did you leave?

    klone replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    16 months - my second job as an RN, working in inpatient OB. I was burned out working nights and working postpartum, so I left to do something different (perinatal research). Was out of inpatient OB...

    Rationale for donning PPE in correct order?

    klone replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Putting ON gloves before mask, no. For some things, order of donning dictates order of removal. Do you understand why that might be

    Non Clinical DNP degree ?

    klone replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    Because many people value education and want a terminal degree. A research-based degree (PhD) may not be the direction some people want to go. A DNP that delves deeper into other areas of nursing,...

    supervisory experience

    Supervising CNAs and LPNs and other ancillary staff is in the normal scope of practice of every RN. If they want supervisory experience, the assumption is above and beyond the normal scope of practice...

    HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    klone replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Depends on the context. If she was on break and saw you in the cafeteria, no. If she saw you because you were in the department where she works, then yes. I'm confused - you are receiving prenatal...

    But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about clocking out at 7:23 and continuing to work until 7:30 because they're being paid until 7:30. And I use words like **** and **** in...

    What are the best kind of nursing jobs for an RN BSN?

    klone replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

    What's "best" for me likely will not be "best" for you, so the opinions of strangers on the internet are pretty irrelevant. Keep an open mind and see where your interests lie once you start your...
