    daisydoll posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi everyone, I am considering applying to CRNA school once I get some ICU experience. My problem is some of my science grades were in the C range. I was considering retaking A&P and maybe Pharm at...

  2. ER nurse to patient ratio

    daisydoll replied to MGHERRN's topic in Emergency

    3:1 with your own medic? That is unheard of! At mine it can vary from 3:1 in the more acute areas to 5:1. There are a total of 62 beds which includes hallways, not including trauma which is a separate...

  3. help thinking of getting out of nursing

    daisydoll replied to nsgmjr's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like an awful work environment. I would suggest applying for hospital jobs and trying to get out of there ASAP. Be aggressive call the nurse managers of the places you are applying and...

  4. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    daisydoll replied to DanainOrlando's topic in Nursing Career

    I think one thing you should consider is that LPNs arent generally hired in the ER. If you are trying to get in there faster then go for the paramedic. If you have the time to do the RN your pay will...

  7. I am a very young nurse. Will my patients be frightened?

    daisydoll replied to youngandnursing's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 25 and I get patients all the time asking me if I'm old enough to be a nurse, or if I'm a student. I'm really sick of hearing it! And like someone else mentioned, I get patients trying to set me...

  8. job etiquette question

    daisydoll replied to kadell's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should call HR asap and tell them the nurse manager offered you a job and you have been expecting to hear from them. I'm sure they have just been busy but if you call they may get the...

  10. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

    daisydoll replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should go ahead and consult with the attorney. He/she can determine if you have sufficient evidence to proceed. It would also help if any of the employees there would be willing to back...

  11. I just want a break

    daisydoll replied to JB2007's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I cant believe the family member came into your breakroom! You should have told them politely that the room is for employees only and you will be there shortly to answer any questions. Maybe you could...

  12. Travel companies with best insurance plans

    Which companies offer the best insurance plans? The ones I have worked for have high deductibles and 80/20 coverage. It's so disappointing to spend time caring for the ill and not have great coverage...

    daisydoll replied to applesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously you hate it there and it's affecting your health. Sounds like it's time to move on. You mention you like NICU or ICU settings, who not look for a perm job there? Any chance you could work...

  15. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

    daisydoll replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody is jealous of me because they have heard plenty of stories from me and none of them would want my job. Only thing I can say ppl are jealous of is that I get more days off, but they are hard...

  20. Should have been a physical therapist

    daisydoll replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    I don't live in TX but I'm curious about clinical trials. Do you need MSN or is BSN sufficient for this kind of job? What kind of work does it entail and what are the

  22. Is 18 months long enough to try travel nursing?

    daisydoll replied to pshs_2000's topic in General Nursing

    daisydoll replied to yuyu75's topic in General Nursing

  25. Need suggestions regarding career change

    daisydoll replied to heaverboo's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are ready for a change, but reluctant at the same time. I would suggest staying PRN at your current job so that if the new one isn't what you hoped for, you have something to fall...
