  1. New job offer, letter of resignation

    cleback replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure. It's a non bedside nursing job so I imagined there would be plenty of competition... honestly a little surprised I was the chosen candidate. The manager mentioned a few start dates over the...

  2. Self Harm by CPAP

    cleback replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Judging by the overall noncompliance with cpap wear, I perhaps would be suspicious of a suicidal patient requesting

  3. Out of attempts for NCLEX

    cleback replied to catmom713's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does the limitation apply if you graduated before the new rule was

  4. New Grad NP

    cleback replied to keeslove3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I personally value job security and health insurance, so I would go with the permanent position. I also am skeptical that the temp position would invest many resources for new provider development if...

  5. New job offer, letter of resignation

    cleback replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! Just a pile of nerves with the change. Everyone is very

  6. Communication issues in the workplace

    cleback replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this. If only two people have disliked you over the years, that's pretty darn

  7. ANCC Med-Surg Certification?

    cleback replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    If your work looks more favorably on the aacn certification, is there a particular reason you're not considering the pccn? My understanding of the accn bc certification is that there are a lot of CEs...

  8. New grad hired as charge nurse

    cleback replied to mdenton's topic in General Nursing

    Although I wasn't specifically hired for charge, I was placed in charge my first day off orientation and told by my manager she wanted me in charge there on out. This was inpatient psych. The reason...

  9. NYC-First time precepting

    cleback replied to Red Zaton's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you're not so much being asked to precept as to collect cause for

  10. Student loans for off campus housing?

    cleback replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you're setting yourself up for more stress by having living by yourself as an expectation instead of a goal right now. I mean, really--if you could afford to live decently on your own right...

  11. New Grad RN: Struggling With Finding a Job

    cleback replied to nurse_bri's topic in General Nursing

    I did over 30 applications before graduation. You're not doing anything wrong... this is normal, especially in tough markets. My advice is to try to apply or meet with hr in person.. even if it's...

  12. I want to be a nurse but im not good at math

    cleback replied to wizardwendy's topic in General Nursing

    Your reasons for wanting to become a nurse are noble. I can tell you really care about your family and want the best for them. To become a nurse, you really only need a good understanding of algebra....

  13. Would this hurt my chances at getting a new grad position?

    cleback replied to floatingrib's topic in General Nursing

    Can you cross train to the smaller hospitals er? If so, that may give you a small foot up, particularly if you're applying to work in their er after graduation. Otherwise, I honestly don't think it...

  14. How do you work your three days/nights ?

    cleback replied to Hershell's topic in General Nursing

    Holy heck. 5 on?? 60 hrs in a row would kill me. I can only do up to 3 in a row. 2 is

  15. Flu shot advice

    cleback replied to bcm9579's topic in General Nursing

    Let the alcohol dry. Don't make a face the first time you hit

  16. As a RN, which would you choose?

    cleback replied to GenieToBe's topic in General Nursing

    For me, having seen some of the people who were resuscitated and had poor neurological recovery, I'd rather not have cpr done. Death is hard on a family, but taking care of the incapacitated is hard...

  17. Nursing student in need of advice

    cleback replied to Morelaur288's topic in General Students

    If you have anxiety, it might help you to get that med surg experience first so you aren't as overwhelmed going straight to icu as a new grad. Although I don't have a diagnosis, I get fairly anxious...

  18. bsn waste without license?

    cleback replied to burtonmarg's topic in General Students

    You can get a master's in something else. I have a master's in public health. Are you working in another capacity in healthcare? My only thought is if you're going to be continuing your education in...

  19. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

    cleback replied to dbabz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Same. Well, I do do iv starts but am marginally good at them. I'd think most patients in an icu have central lines. In fact, there was a unit "helper" from our icu once on the floor... I asked if she...

  20. New nurse help

    cleback replied to btf4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've taken care of patients with diagnosis that have only been described a handful of times in medicine. You read. Fortunately, once you get some background information, a lot of nursing interventions...

  21. Is this discrimination?

    cleback replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    There is a process to become a medical interpreter, which I'm guessing you haven't done. So I don't know if what they're expecting of you is legal. If illegal, you can't really use it for justifying a...

  22. Never got the job :(

    cleback replied to Ashlyn11's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask for a reason. Might make you a better applicant next time around, or at least, let your manager know it didn't go

  23. Privacy curtains are covered in MRSA

    cleback replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I know a big push in a large Healthcare organization near me was to either get rid of them or have a regular laundering schedule. Just think, there were at least some curtains that never got...

  24. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    cleback replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    This was my thought too. Psych can be busy but is probably the only nursing area where finding "what makes people tick" is actually a part of the

  25. Drinking water for low BP or blood loss

    cleback replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    We used to do this a lot in inpatient psych for low bps and no iv access (not for acute blood
