  1. RN TO PA

    NeoPediRN replied to anhela's topic in General Nursing

    I was accepted into PA school this year, but had to decline due finances. You can keep your RN, but working through PA school is almost impossible. You're in school 5 days a week, many programs...

  4. Chest pain do you need an EKG order?

    NeoPediRN replied to usRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have to use your best nursing judgment. If you call the doctor and say a pt is having chest pain 99% of the time they are going to want an EKG...and if a pt is having a heart attack, the...

    In Boston, to park on site for day shift at a particular hospital, it costs between $350-450 per month. Off site is

  8. Ever see "FULL LET" for code status?

    NeoPediRN replied to shygoofyone's topic in General Nursing

    Full LET sounds like they wouldn't use NIPPV like bipap/cpap for respiratory distress, whereas a regular DNR does allow for emergency treatment, just not cardiac resuscitation and

  9. Night shift -- can you just take it easy, please?

    NeoPediRN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, I called her at change of shift and told her we had a kiddo crashing and I was going to stay to help and she said do whatever you have to do. It's not OT for me since I'm per diem

  10. what is the difference between nursing notes and charting

    NeoPediRN replied to bernikitty's topic in General Nursing

    Charting is anything you put in the computer. Hospitals have electronic documentation, so your I&O, assessments, IV site documentation, safety (siderails, bed alarms, etc) all gets checked off in...

  11. Hospital frequent flyers??? Whatever happened to it being an acute care facility!

    NeoPediRN replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

  12. Night shift -- can you just take it easy, please?

    NeoPediRN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we should make a thread dedicated to the ways we help each other as a way to spread good morale. Happiness can be as infectious as misery. Today at change of shift we had a baby who became...

  15. Night shift -- can you just take it easy, please?

    NeoPediRN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    NSGstudent - Let's just say I got out of there at 1535 :) SoundofMusic - no you can't do everything in a shift. No one ever died because they didn't get a washed up for a day or two. Techs who won't...

  16. Night shift -- can you just take it easy, please?

    NeoPediRN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a 24 hour job and no shift is ever going to be perfect. That's the cold hard truth. There seems to be more of a divide and conquer mentality rather than a teamwork approach in many...

  21. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    NeoPediRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    And as useful and important as they are, they still have no business recording a code and informing staff that it's time for another epi, atropine, time for pulse check, etc. It's not in their skills...

  22. Oral feeding on nasal CPAP??

    NeoPediRN replied to Carmen Huston's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No to pretty much all of the above. We don't PO feed babies on nasal CPAP period. We do allow PO feeds for babies on high flow but no more than 20 minutes a time and stop earlier for respiratory...

  23. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    NeoPediRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    He's not a nurse, an RT who is OBSESSED with giving lengthy book answers to anything remotely respiratory related...or at least it started off that way...seems to have progressed into commenting on...

    NeoPediRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing
