    Organizing the team for the day

    A&OxNone replied to IndymamaNrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my experience, I do try to touch base with my tech before the day gets started just to go over certain things and get a gameplan together. For instance, if you are really busy and theres only one...

    Neonatal NP question

    A&OxNone replied to stortsj1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My advice for you is to get some experience and see if you like it (and can handle it) as a nurse. If your goal is to work in the NICU as an NP, you should work in one to see if you like the...

    Some advice from the peds nurses please

    A&OxNone replied to smartassmommy's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    The best CNAs I have had on the floor do this - help me keep up with intake and output, don't mind changing diapers, and tell me when something is abnormal (vital signs wise). Babies are eating and...

    Is it too much to ask?

    A&OxNone replied to SilleLu's topic in General Nursing

    I had a little 10 year old girl the other day who had a brain tumor removed earlier that day. When I asked how her head was, she said,"it's a ten" (in the sweetest little voice). So I said,"a ten is...

    Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    A&OxNone replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    Two things I have to say about this (respectfully, of course). I don't think any of us are trying not to be supportive. The question was, do you think I would be crazy to leave my comfy, good paying,...

    Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    A&OxNone replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    Okay, I have to chime in because I really don't think this is an age discrimination thing. I'm almost 30 and have been a nurse over 5 years, almost all of that in peds, and I do absolutely love my...

    A&OxNone replied to sydneyw19's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I currently work for CHOA, and I can tell you that they really want a year of inpatient experience before hiring. I would look at smaller hospitals, or ones that aren't so close to Atlanta. I am from...

    Thinking of applying to Peds... questions

    A&OxNone replied to haunani's topic in Pediatric

    Well, as far as "cons" go, I think the depends on the size of your peds unit and what kind of patients they see. If it's a small, itty bitty part of a hallway, I would say the con would be that you...

    What do CNAs do?

    A&OxNone replied to newbie12's topic in Pediatric

    Our CNAs do a lot more than just vitals. You have to remember that not all children have parents there, so feedings and diapers are done by the nurses and CNAs. Also, just because they are children...

    I failed my patient

    A&OxNone posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am seriously consumed with guilt and just need to vent. I work in peds, but I'm new to peds. Without giving specifics, I went in my patient's room at 2000 (work night shift) to do my assessment,...

    I failed my patient

    I think this post has a whole lot of truth to it. Thank you for this wisdom - in a small way, it makes me feel better already. I feel like it's different when you have an adult screaming at you "I'M...
