    How much above your base pay do you generally make?

    klone replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    Alternative NP

    klone replied to nursejacq's topic in General Students

    You can do a post-masters certificate program, but if your first grad degree is non-clinical, it doesn't save a ton of time. It might shave off one semester

    BFHI has been around for 25 years. And yes, it has shown that it improves breastfeeding initiation rates, as well as decreases attrition rates at hospital discharge and 3 months. No, the research that...

    Thrown From the Tower!!

    klone replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have a lot to say that wasn't already said. As a manager, I do feel the need to mention that acknowledging that you're late and saying "Okay, get here as soon as you can" is not the same as...

    klone replied to nurse2bjen7's topic in General Nursing

    At the age of 17 or 18, I would be more concerned if you did NOT have doubts about what you want to be when you grow up. I think we do a disservice to youth by expecting them to go to college...

    Let's Ban the Phrase "I'll Go Get Your Nurse"

    klone replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't call it rude, per se, but rather more egocentric (using the psychological definition, not the "wow, I'm so awesome!" definition). Sort of like how RNs in Colorado think that everyone knows...

    Interview Question

    klone replied to special1rn's topic in Nurse Management

    Well, IMO the "right" answer is "I wouldn't change anything at first" particularly if you're hired in from outside the unit. You need to gain their trust through time and letting them get to know you...

    Preparing injections for doctor

    klone replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    You're right; I stand corrected. I re-read their national patient safety goals for 2015. It CAN be administered by someone other than the one drawing it up, but if that happens, then there needs to be...

    Preparing injections for doctor

    klone replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Are you going to tell the physician that s/he will need to draw up his/her own injections? How do you think your physician will react to that? I'm asking because a) I'm assuming this is a...

    No, that's not necessary to document. It's assumed that you washed your hands and used clean technique when drawing up the meds. Do you chart "washed hands before giving IM injection"? Your...

    Appealing Work Returned for Revision

    klone replied to NevadaFighter's topic in Western Governors University

    Yep, agree with featherz. How many sections require revision? It may be easier to just give them what they want, than the need to be right. Whenever I've had to do revisions, it's taken me about 10...

    Sky Ridge is a "boutique" hospital - very chi chi. Private practice OBs, no midwives that I'm aware of. It's part of HCA. Parker is part of Centura, which is faith-based. As such, they do not offer...
