1. Relationships with floor nurses?

   Nenja replied to theantichick's topic in Emergency

   I'm a floor nurse, no ED experience beyond floating a few shifts. I honestly don't think anything either party does will entirely "stop" it. Y'all think we get snarky, we think y'all get snarky...and...

2. I am a new grad and think I don't want to take a bedside RN job, advice please.

   Nenja replied to newgrad000's topic in First Year After Licensure

   You may find yourself surprised. Nursing is so varied that even similar units at different facilities can bring an entirely different experience. I went through school hating the areas of my...

   Nenja replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Nursing

   I'm in Peds and we don't have that policy. If it ain't broke...don't fix it! :) Rarely would it last that long anyway though for a lot of our

4. Holiday Scheduling - how to make it fair

   Nenja replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

   One place I worked we did team A and B and we worked whatever holidays were for that team...next year it switched. We were typically able to swap around and even sometimes split the shift in half to...

5. New Grad and my stress level is at a MAX!!! Help

   Nenja replied to harder88's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I'm in the same boat, but as an RN. I graduated in May...I can pass my meds but woah they never had us do any of the million pages of paperwork and orders in school. I'm

6. Yep, new grad vent about new job, orientation & staffing. :)

   Nenja posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

   I graduated in May and got an RN job at an LTACH where I had been working as an aide for just over a year. Thrilled about it, no, but it was the only offer I had and I knew the facility, patients and...

7. Nursing Shortage?

   Nenja replied to mboulis's topic in Ohio Nursing

   I disagree with that a whole lot. I graduated Friday from BGSU and will be an RN after my boards...the UT/BGSU consortium is now graduating nurses three times a year, plus there is Lourdes, Owens,...

   Nenja posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I was hired at a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital in June. I am in my last year of my BSN but this is my first aide job. It is basically an ICU...most on vents, many with tube feeds. It has been a great...

    Nenja replied to gracie05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Question about the melatonin. I will only be working overnight Fri & Sat nights...if I take the melatonin to help me sleep for those shifts, is my body still going to hate me the rest of the week...

11. What are your duties/responsibilites on the night shift?

    Nenja replied to Labmum2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ah thank you, I was wondering too. I will be starting a third-shift soon at a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital and my interviewer said that it is mostly like an ICU...lots of vents and such. Anyone with...

12. Moving to Toledo

    Nenja replied to Metropolis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't know anything about working at Toledo Hospital because I'm still a student and don't intend on working in this area. As for looking where to live - like the other reply said, South Toledo is...

    Nenja replied to IlovenursingRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am a 3rd year nursing student (U of Toledo) and currently live in Maumee (ever need a sitter? lol). I just completed my women's health clinical at St Luke's and it is my favorite hospital I've been...

14. Medication References

    Nenja posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just started my OB rotation. (LOVE it, BTW) We are to look up (purpose, route, dosage, etc...) the most commonly used meds on the floor and I was able to find most in the drug books I purchased for...

15. Peds - Teaching Project

    Nenja posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know I've seen topics about this a while ago, but nothing came up in the search. I'm in Peds this semester and for half the semester I am in a preschool classroom with typical and atypical...
