  2. Clinic nurses: If 1 million people join this group....

    rockabye replied to LaughingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Haha: "if 1 million people join this group..." Those are lofty goals considering not even 1/2 that are members of allnurses.com! :) I am not a clinic nurse, but it sounds like they should have their...

  3. hesi A2 question

    rockabye replied to dkg005's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To my recollection, to enter the numerical value just means typing in the number(s), so don't add the units of measurement or any letters at all. If you do the math and get say 3.6 on the calculator,...

  4. Please help and give me your opinion

    rockabye replied to calihelper's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is really good. It showed your motivation to be a nurse and your experiences with nursing so far. Just needs some grammar clean up (i.e, some commas in certain places and maybe a little...

  5. What was more stressful for you?

    rockabye replied to VeniVidiVici's topic in General Nursing

    Haha stress levels. Start getting used to them now. It starts out with being stressed about getting in nursing school. Then you get stressed about passing your exams and classes. You go to clinicals...

  6. Ganciclovir Chemo Precaution/Chemo nurse?

    rockabye replied to ccf317's topic in General Nursing

    From what I found, it says if you come in skin contact with the broken or crushed ganciclovir capsules, just wash the affected area well with soap and water. I assume the same applies to the iv form....

  8. How long did you stay?!

    rockabye replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I wanted NICU while I did clinicals in nursing school. I am not sure how easy it was to get in NICU as a new grad, but I feel lucky for getting in the hospital I wanted. I applied to 3...

  9. How long did you stay?!

    rockabye replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I have stayed at my first nursing job 3 years and counting. I work in the NICU and wouldn't want it any other way!

  10. Nursing staff discouraged now

    rockabye replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Find out exactly why those nurses are unhappy and find solutions to those problems. I don't understand why the nurse manager says she can't afford to lose nurses if she doesn't try to solve why the...

  11. How many....

    rockabye replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I own 1 stethoscope that I don't bring to work because it is pediatric size and all my neonatal patients have their own at the bedside. I only have 1 pair of work shoes which is enough because I treat...

    rockabye replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    I've been with my boyfriend (now husband) since I was 18. My boyfriend was very supportive of me and studying even though I didn't always get to go out with him because I was busy with my classes....

  14. Any risks of volunteering?

    rockabye replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't think of any risks to volunteering as long as you are committed to the rules and regulations the volunteering organization sets for you. I also would be careful about giving any nursing...

  15. Drop-side cribs outlawed

    rockabye replied to Coffee Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    OP, do you have a news article link? I googled the drop-side cribs and found this one from the LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-cribs-20101216,0,210525.story I was very...

    rockabye replied to claireew29's topic in General Nursing

    Band 6 seems to be a UK exclusive thing and you may get better answers posting this question on the UK nursing forum. Here is a link to someone else asking help for their band 6 role presentation:...

  17. Language or Experience?

    rockabye replied to thmpr's topic in General Nursing

    It would help to think of this situation from the patients' side of things and not the coworkers'. If you had an emergency and didn't speak the language, would you want an experienced nurse who you...

  18. Interview outfit--is this ok?

    rockabye replied to SydneyJo1's topic in General Nursing

    I wore a blouse and pencil skirt with flats and I did just fine. Your outfit seems fine too. Just make sure your v-neck isn't too low cut or put a cami underneath. Also, I might consider color to...

  19. Failing to carry out a stat order in timely manner

    rockabye replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in General Nursing

    No, this is probably just a warning of concern from your manager, especially if you have a previous good record. No harm came to the patient in the end. All nurses make mistakes sometimes. Learn from...

    rockabye replied to RN0820's topic in General Nursing

  21. None of the Florida nurses could answer my question.I'll try here.

    rockabye replied to MEDRULES's topic in General Nursing

    It is my understanding that a patient support tech is more like a certified nurse assistant and not a medical assistant. Usually medical assistants are supervised by a physician and limited to Dr....

  22. Outraged by no more privacy

    rockabye replied to inquiringaide's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to disagree too and say I am fine with it. I have nothing to hide so I don't care if they want to run background checks on me etc. I am even fine with the whole airplane security thing. I...

  23. Decisions

    rockabye replied to diprifan's topic in General Nursing

    To make it easier, is it possible to move closer to your current hospital? Do you plan on working full-time while going to school? If you like your current hospital and don't mind the commute, it...

  24. What is "burnout" and how do you cope?

    rockabye replied to nunnurse1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It sounds like you can either work with management and see if you can help them find solutions for better work environment and hope changes get made, or just search for greener pastures. Whiny CNAs,...

  25. Would any of you do this?

    rockabye replied to TerpGal02's topic in General Nursing
