  1. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Nurserton replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it's ridiculous to be forced to take anything into my body. When you enter a healthcare facility, infection is listed as a potential risk to every single thing that you consent to in that...

  2. Doctors office or hospital first?

    Nurserton replied to HealthyAngel's topic in Holistic

    Check out Allegra, they offer many online holistic courses for very reasonable prices and are endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) and the ANCC. I am planning on taking a few...

  3. Doctors office or hospital first?

    Nurserton replied to HealthyAngel's topic in Holistic

    You sound exactly like me. I cringed at the thought of going to the hospital, I always said I wanted to be more than a "hospital nurse". I was a CNA for 6 yrs before my RN and had already had my...

  4. Transitioning from the bedside

    Nurserton replied to Nurserton's topic in Case Management

    Well, they offered me the job and I decided to take it! The work from home will definitely be a huge plus too (@thekid)...my mom works from home and I've always been jealous! Also really excited to...

  5. If a phlebotomist corrected you on order of draw, what would you do?

    Nurserton replied to pyriticsilence's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a nurse I defer to the phlebotomist when it comes to that because frankly I still can't remember if the light green or the lavender top comes first. It's what they do all day, every day...why...

  6. Transitioning from the bedside

    Nurserton replied to Nurserton's topic in Case Management

    You're right, it can be very scary to leave what you know. Thanks for the

  7. Nurse acupuncturist needs assistance

    Nurserton replied to RN, LAc's topic in Holistic

    You sound like you have a lot to offer. Have you thought of independent consulting? When I worked for an ortho trauma clinic, many of our patients employed independent nurse case managers. You just...

  8. Do you have family members who are nurses?

    Nurserton replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have two aunts and a cousin who's a nurse. People always told my mom she should've been but she didn't do it. Guess it's in our

  9. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    Nurserton replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Well, regarding the surgical cap, for one like myself who is considering taking that step to wearing hijab it's better than not covering at all. Besides, all that can easily be handled by wearing a...

  10. Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    Nurserton replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    ASA; I've been a Puerto Rican Muslim for 8 years, which, as you might imagine, brings raised eyebrows because it's just not "the norm" among Latinos. I've always been too afraid of others' judgement...

  11. I Feel Like The Most Incompetent Nurse Ever!

    Nurserton replied to tonet0908's topic in General Nursing

    Well enlighten us, what class is it then? I know it's not the same as a traditional paralytic, but I honestly can't remember what class. Do you wish to

  12. This is making me nervous

    Nurserton replied to reddellrn's topic in General Nursing

    At the end of the day, ALWAYS remember, you have to protect your license. The facility will not be more concerned with protecting your license and having your back versus covering its butt, and at...

  13. To flush or not to flush...advice please.

    Nurserton replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious as to what types of areas you guys work in that these are used? At first I thought the post was talking about subclavian ports. I've never seen/heard of

  14. I Feel Like The Most Incompetent Nurse Ever!

    Nurserton replied to tonet0908's topic in General Nursing

    Okay I just saw the latest post and apparently it was precedex. We just had an inservice on it and it's this drastically different new sedative that allows patients to be arousable and functional,...

  15. I Feel Like The Most Incompetent Nurse Ever!

    Nurserton replied to tonet0908's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe precedex? Not your typical paralytic, would allow for the pt to carry

  16. Interview at WellStar--possibly relocating to Marietta

    Nurserton replied to independentRN916's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Windy Hill is an LTAC, Cobb is a smaller community type hospital, Kennestone is the biggest with over 500 beds. They pay very well. I highly encourage their residency program, we get a lot of new...

  17. Wellstar

    Nurserton replied to ShowersRN4's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Don't you have to get your BSN within 5 years or something? They may have ADNs but Wellstar is HUGE on nursing advancement and education and they really encourage their nurses to have BSNs. I know...

  18. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    Nurserton replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Another hint for new grads, Wellstar hires GOBS of them, even into ER and critical care. Despite the economy, they have managed to maintain a large residency program. Of course, who know how long...

  19. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    Nurserton replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I should add that Piedmont just announced huge layoffs, and Emory just lost a big chunk of govt funding for some reason or another. And even the hospital I'm at now, they are looking to cut, cut, cut...

  20. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    Nurserton replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The hospitals on the north side of Atlanta tend to pay better in general. Northside, Wellstar, Piedmont (in Buckhead), and I believe Emory pays pretty decent as well. Northside is known for their...

  21. I Feel Like The Most Incompetent Nurse Ever!

    Nurserton replied to tonet0908's topic in General Nursing

    You were not the only person who messed up. The doctor wrote the order. The pharmacist filled the order. You then came and gave it. In this instance, all checks & balances failed. A good...

  22. Magnet status? Hospitals choosing BSN new grads. Important!!!! over ADN??

    Nurserton replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Nursing

    We're all going to have debt, that's a part of life. But don't have debt and

  23. Tips for new grad working Neuro ICU

    Nurserton replied to oldnurse newnurse's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I agree with mj & xx. Use your peers/charge as resources. Assess, assess, assess, and don't second guess yourself if you see a change or an abnormal. Don't ignore it or shrug it off, it may be a...

  24. New grad who wants to be ICU, pls help!

    Nurserton replied to bigcrisrn's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Okay, it's different nowadays for new grads. A lot of nurses will tell you to get your med-surg experience and then try and get into ICU. I'm here to tell you as a 3 year old nurse that worked in...

  25. Progressive Care Certification?

    Nurserton replied to PietrazjRN's topic in Critical Care

    If you want to eventually be a leader, I would advise you begin your nursing career modeling leadership traits. This means constantly enhancing your resume so to speak, by building yourself...
