    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to psychED's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    attention SNF Dons

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to surfnbeagle's topic in Nurse Management

    I am a sup at a SNF/long term/sub-acute (it has many descriptions). The only LPNs are on staff. For anything higher than that, a BSN (or in school for it) is required. There are no 'unit leaders'....

    Nursing Identity: is it to Dress in White?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Daqueengene's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    there is an active thread "mas calling themselves nurses". no one really talks about uniform in it, but would say that that is a factor in this who's who problem in healthcare. i don't think it has...

    Self Scheduling!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to shellasee's topic in Pediatric

    how many nurses are on per shift? it sounds like it works well, but don't you have people who can't work certain days or nights? for that reason, it would never work on my

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 2rntish's topic in Pediatric

    oh man!!! do you mean hyperalimentation (tpn)? and this was without a burette (in the nicu)? i've only floated to nicu, but i've seen a lot of syringe pumps there. we've even used them on general...

    Self Scheduling!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to shellasee's topic in Pediatric

    most of the places i've worked at do this- to some extent. the weekends (every other) are filled in already. one of my places has a couple of rules: you must work at least 1 monday or friday on...

    Burette

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to 2rntish's topic in Pediatric

    we do the same, which kind of defeats the purpose of the burette. we are using a pump, with the automatic clamp. if it comes out of the pump, it's supposed to turn off. one of the other advantages...

    Move back to NYC???

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to cheddaz's topic in New York Nursing

    Well I live in Queens, and it is marginally cheaper (you can certainly get more than a studio for that 1650). I also have a 2nd income (my husband). As far as housing thru the hospitals, I know New...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ortho_RN's topic in General Nursing

    let me be one of the first to welcome you to the 'real' world of nursing. sadly, i'm sure every person on this bb could share a similar story, in which we've asked ourselves the same question. and...

    Your priorities

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Sahn's topic in General Nursing

    Very well stated. Unfortunately when you have those who choose to make it their life, it becomes a conflict with those who can't (or choose not to) make it their life. Everyone's situation is...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to doodlebug914's topic in Nursing Career

    Please tell me that Nursing is better than being a CNA!!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

    Is it that you can't stand being a CNA- and can't wait to be a nurse? Do you see yourself doing what the nurses do? That may be a tough question to ask yourself in the specialty you are in, as LTC...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nadia562002's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it really depends on the "problems" you had. It also depends on what your letter of resignation stated (if you did indeed resign), because you kind of need to be consistant, in case they...
