  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...

  3. IV catheter changes..

    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,...

  8. leading group

    Nenja posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I am a nursing student doing my psych rotation. A partner and I have to lead a group session on an inpatient unit next week. We've been rotating through our clinical group and we are running out of...

  9. i'd like some opinions please

    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...

  10. Third Shift Blues

    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...

  13. Maumee, Ohio / I am moving there soon

    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. Student Nurses in Ohio

    Nenja posted a topic in Camp

    Hello! I am trying to find a job that won't totally stink as I know it'll be my last summer of "freedom" before I hit the real world. Has anyone found a camp in Ohio (or driveable from NW Ohio) that...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. Toledo Area Schools

    Nenja replied to peytonsmom's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm a BG student in my third year of nursing so I am currently at the UT Health Science Campus, as the person above stated. I chose BG because it is smaller and slightly closer to my hometown. In the...

  18. fingerprinting??

    Nenja replied to racing-mom4's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I also did not think that ink prints were accepted anymore and it really doesn't make sense why you would need both. I would keep trying to contact them...good

  19. Possible Chicken Pox Exposure

    Nenja posted a topic in General Students

    My boyfriend's son may have chicken pox. I had it when I was little, but can I still carry it? I'm starting my Peds and OB rotations next

  20. Students: Prefer morning or evening clinicals?

    Nenja replied to ashandjune's topic in General Students

    I've never had a morning/day clinical, but I have to agree with you on that. It was horrible switching nurses halfway through clinical and it always happened when we were at dinner so we'd just come...

  21. PCA Job Description Question

    Nenja posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My local hospital just posted this job opening for a Med/Surg-Peds PCA. Dumb as it sounds, I don't know if I'm qualified or not, and I'd rather sound like an idiot to you than the employer. :) I'm a...

  22. Nationwide (Columbus) Children's

    Nenja posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm a junior nursing student and this is the hospital I have my heart set on for a variety of reasons. And at some point, I plan to work in pediatric oncology. I'm hoping some nurses that work there...

  23. Did I just see your spine?

    Nenja replied to CDeniseGo's topic in General Students

    I was taught the same by one of my clinical nurses. But she also added to cross the two fingers...suppose to hurt even

  24. What is going on in Toledo????

    Nenja replied to mrreah's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm a UT student and did clinicals at UTMC this semester...my last week was pretty high-stress for many as they were told of lay-offs. I also read of the president's bonus and felt that was a bit...

  25. I know nothing!!

    Nenja replied to JennBoston's topic in General Students

    See THIS is me. This post is old...please tell me its better now. lol I find myself almost rehearsing on my drive Okay, THIS is what you're going to do. And you're going to fake that you're confident...
