Why did you put a dinning room light by the front door. You said you wanted an open concept.

I have been in the same situation. I worked ICUs for 2 years and then transferred to Research for 3 years. To my surprise I ended up being hired on a Gen Med floor with working in Units again being completely off the table. What worked for me and adv...

A lot of the patients/parents are chronic or at least been dealing with the given issue for an extended period of time. Because of this they are very educated on the disease process which means you have to also. It is a very difficult field with a lo...

I never understood why nurses are so quick to run to the managers office but so slow to run into your room and help/educate if they are that concerned.

You need to relax. Sounds like you spouse needs to step up a bit, I can say that because my wife just graduated with her CNM degree with the help of me working, taking care of our son, and cleaning the house. You will be better off owning the materia...

The CDC immunization schedule is based on compliance. So think about it as when does the patient come in for normal checkups, that is when the doc is going to hit them up with immunizations, but not more than say 4 at a time. and then you have to thi...

typo I meant shifts

I was a Waiter, Bartender, and Line cook. I worked the 1530-2330 shift friday the 0600-1200 and the 1530-2330 on Sat and the 0600-1200 on sun. As well as every other 1530-2330 tue. I used to clock out and sleep in the closet at work on Sat between **...

To be honest Peds is one of the hardest specialties to break into. I would suggest getting experience in one of the more difficult departments such as neuro, hem onc., research, etc. Then sub specialty into peds from that specialty. Once you have the...

My wife was just hired in Cary and I am applying mostly at UNC. We are looking into the area also and rent is just crazy expensive as well as smaller homes are very costly. We may be buying a bigger house and try to rent out a room. Have you found a ...

I do not understand what you are asking can you narrow in your question. I may not be the best person to answer your question since I do not believe qualitative research is reliable anyways. But I know you are not going to get an answer because you q...

I graduated in early 2010 when the econ. was rough and it was very difficult to get a job as a new grad and basically impossible to get a job in Peds or Mother/Baby. My school offered me a rotation on a unit I did not want to work in and in a hospita...

Overall I am very glad that I went into research and I do not want what I say below to prevent you from giving it a shot. You will learn a completely different perspective and there is a lot of room for growth and development. Research has also given...

families of oncology patients perceive their loved ones to be in pain and emotional/spiritual distress during end-of-life treatment. There is a testable hypothesis right there. Now make a questionnaire to give to families on your floor and see what...

Is a clinical research nurse able to practice as an RN as licensed, in a clinic that they have received privileges at, before the consents are signed outside of the protocol? also if during recruitment you have the pt. primary MD do a measurement to...

i guess it is somewhat of a interesting area because best practice i suppose would be to measure the arm to make sure you are using the proper cuff size on all pts but I have never actually seen it in gen practice so they would be gathering and repor...

document what the doc said and you will be fine. I dont really agree with her even having the Metoprolol remaining at that dose in the orders to begin with. she should have changed the order to Diltiazem or maybe lower the dose or even DC the Metopro...

I have seen research classes at the BSN and the MSN level and both do not really do a good job at preparing anyone for being in research. I am interested as well in conducting clinical research. I am looking at the BSN to PhD in nursing programs such...

you did the right thing. MD ordered 11 units and you gave 11 units. if the MD order bottoms out the pt than you call the MD and tx the pt. and the insulin order needs to be changed by the MD. Administering medications and treatments as prescribed by...

yep. all the time

mayo clinic was a life saver in nursing school.

my one piece of advice in dealing with a critical pt. is its much easier to keep a pulse than to get one back. by that i mean be preventative, if stuff starts going down hill fix it before it gets to that point if at all possible. and when it does re...

happens to me every time. they have to put me in the special chair that leans back to an almost upside down position whenever they give me my yearly TB or any other blood draws. But i function with working in the ICU just fine. When you do come to t...

i worked as a tech during school at the hospital i wanted to work at when i grad. It worked out well, got to know all the managers since i floated and basically could work on any unit that i wanted to when i received my license. may be to late for th...
