  1. Whoa - The Trach Vacuum is set at 500mm/Hg for Peds

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Really good question. The dial looks like it has been screwed all the way off and is missing, so there is only a screw-stump where the suction dial should be. [i believe the client is receiving...

  2. Is LinkedIn Necessary?

    SunnyPupRN replied to bete-noire's topic in General Nursing

    I despise Linkedin. I've had people I don't know say they worked with me, and people I don't know recommend me. The fraud disgusts

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  5. Interview Question - Do I Have a Problem with WHAT?

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nothing. She said she could not give patient details until I was officially hired and assigned to the pt. I think that's BS. It's not like she was going to give his name. The whole thing was weird on...

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I thought so, too. But the manager seemed very reluctant to provide details. I'm stopping by the office today....I'll ask

  10. How Do I Start Over?

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So- I'm 45, and I've been out of the loop for a good six years. I want to work again, have kept up with my CEUs, but never felt I got a really good education or floor experience except in psych. I...

  11. I feel like I need ER experience.

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in Emergency

    Hello...I'm getting ready to go back to work and I feel like I never had enough rotation time in the ER back in school. For some reason, I feel like ED is the litmus test of nursing. Although I...

  13. MAR error

    SunnyPupRN replied to paulsab's topic in Patient Medications

    These situations - being the only nurse - having to CYA because there just isn't enough help- being the sacrificial lamb if someone above you decides to come down hard where in another place you could...

  14. Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    SunnyPupRN replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took a nursing refresher course and the instructor told us that if we hold a license as an RN we cannot legally work as a tech, MA, or LPN. I know this is a little off topic, but your predicament...

  16. Would You Address This? My Hospital Stay Was Horrible

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    A few weeks ago, I was admitted to one of the Big Three hospitals in this small town...meaning it has tons of satellite physician offices all over. I am also looking for a job and there are not many...

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thank you for all your thoughtful words. I really appreciate them, and it has helped me make my decision. I should clarify, for those who mentioned complaining in real time, that a patient advocate...

  18. FL RNs What Can We Practice Independently?

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't sure where to post this, it seems like it could go under a few different sub-headings, so forgive me if I am posting too broadly. I have read over the FL Nurse Practice Act and I cannot find...

  19. Returning to Nursing After Depression

    SunnyPupRN replied to hazyblue's topic in Retired Nurses

    What I think I hear from you is that you feel some anger. Maybe you're not sure where it's coming from or where to direct it, and it is coming out in the form of being a 'hater.' Since you have...

  20. I Have No References!

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  22. Independent Contractor : What are the Requirements?

    SunnyPupRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm confused on whose doctor's orders the independent contractor would carry out. How does he/she verify orders or keep records of them? Isn't it illegal to bring home those

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    In 2009, I survived an assault, albeit with a TBI. At the time I was working Acute Psych/Subs Abuse and Women's Stress. I do not have much memory of the incident, and to make a long story short,...

  24. I've Been Gone Awhile...Advice Please on Getting My Groove Back

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    No need to apologize. I'm an open book about this, or I wouldn't have posted the details that leave me feeling, well, I guess ashamed is the word...because I feel like a failure. I don't know much...
