  1. Child Life Specialist vs Pediatric RN

    Our sister hospital had one cls but they don't anymore. I guess it was a money thing most of our patients only stay 3 days or less.
  2. Child Life Specialist vs Pediatric RN

    I know two nurses with degrees in child life. I worked at a children's hospital and they only had 1 classes that I ever met but the did hire assistants. One became a nurse because she realized that was her calling the other could get a job. She also ...
  3. Baptist Nursing Scholarship

    Yeah baptist is a common healthcare systems name. There are two distinct ones in Alabama that are not affiliated and that cover like 8 hospitals between them. I also think there is one in Florida is that who your referring to someone nice you mention...
  4. Make flashcards either on notecards or electronic. you can upload pictures to quizlet if you have the paid versions. If the tissues are on ppt slides I used to photocopy them and study them every night. Go to open lab or supplemental instruction or ...
  5. Pastel Scrubs Tops

    Uniform advantage has a good selection but shipping is kinda high $7 per item and decreases the more you spend. Amazon is free shipping over $25 for select items and they have a good but not as extensive. Sometimes hospitals have deals with local scr...
  6. ARNP bonus structure

    I think he should start putting in applications for another job asap. I also think you need to take NCLEX and start applying for rn jobs instead of waiting this out. You have have a family to take care and your husband shouldn't feel pressured to wor...
  7. Peds NP or Public Health NP

    It's your decision but I would take the public health. Money isn't everything and I think you should consider how important weekends and holidays off maybe to you. I'm also thinking the peds job would be a lot of oncall hours.
  8. Am I too old???

    Your fine. A lot of nurses start later than that. My charge nurse was 40.
  9. Nursing vs. Social Work

    Most nurses do start out on nights. Rotating shifts are not a think in my area so I can't speak to that. You may have to look harder to find a job with your msw but if your willing to move you should be ok. Social work is a great career. My best frie...
  10. Typical cellular data use in NS

    Apple watches syncing to patient monitors could be a privacy issue and Any personal device used to access patient records should be encrypted. A lot of nurses doe have apple watches and use them at work for telling time and pedometers but not patient...
  11. No job post ER internship

    I think you should probably list it because some experience is better than none. On applications if you are eligible for rehire just say something about how the experience was not for you. Apply for med surg floors or smaller ers where you can get a ...
  12. Navy Corpsmen Caught

    I don't think they're nurses and the term nurse is being used as click bait to get people to read the article.
  13. Pediatric rounding rules

    Ask your professor what rounding rule they prefer for grading. In real word peds its sometimes guess work. I can't give a baby 2.345 ml of Tylenol I give as close as I can usually 2.4 or as close to between 2.3 or 2.4 as I can depending on the syring...
  14. No, I got a B but had a 3.75 overall and got in a competitive program.
  15. Nurses leaving on the fast train

    Psych is also not for everybody. And poor staffing is a big deal.
  16. Getting a non-nursing job?

    What about benefits until you find a non nursing full time job? Have you thought about school or office nursing? you might find it less stressful the hospital is not for everybody I know but maybe you just have to find your niche.
  17. Floating policies- Tenet

    Don't work for tenet. But do a lot of floating to areas in our cluster. Know the a nurse is a nurse feeling. Put in some applications elsewhere and leave on good terms I hope the cno won't be there long.
  18. A lot of non bedside jobs require experience or it is encouraged. At least stick bedside out somewhere for a year.
  19. New Grad RN waiting for job offer

    Apply for whatever you want if they want you they will let you know
  20. Pediatric Nurse Assigned Adult Med-Surg Patients as a Float

    I would be scared to take adult patients too because I have only ever done peds and floated to baby related areas. I think they tried to be fair by just giving you two and at least the educator did the discharge so you didn't have two. I don't know i...
  21. Nursery Nurse Indifference

    I'll be glad when our hospital goes to mother baby. Nobody appreciates that 5-6 babies with labs, blood sugar checks, assessments, and all that charting is a lot of work. And a lot of the parents especially military want to keep their babies with the...
  22. Nursery Nurse Indifference

    Newborn nurseries are being phased out rapidly and probably won't be a thing in 10 years. I've worked in a newborn nursery and you typically have 5-6 patients. Even if you do not appear to be doing nursing tasks you do not always have time to pick u...
  23. Did Any Of You Nurses Finish With a Dual Major?

    No there was no room to even pursue a minor.
  24. Why pediatrics?

    Kids are more fun. Families can be a trip though. One of my previous preceptors said for her it was deciding between big poops vs little poop.
  25. Are your raises based on patient satisfaction scores?

    Not yet I'm sure it will be the way of the future.
