I think all nurses should be offered Ebola training. Today if you are headed to Africa to care for patients you receive training from the CDC. If you are a nurse in the states it seems more difficult to find. I am a nurse who provides care in the c...

No school. If it is hives the body is trying to take care of a problem. You don't know the cause yet and school may hold the trigger. With each exposure the reaction may become increased leading to a true emergency. No doctor in urgent care or ED ...

My son sleeps in any and all moving vehicles including the bus! He is a senior in High School this year. Nothing bad has happened due to his sleeping. I blame it on the Rock-N-ROLLER STROLLER I used when he was a baby!LOL!!

ABCNurse77, What a great idea to have your own bag. The bag that came with my office had a B/P cuff whose tubing disintegrated when touched as did the gauze pads. The band aids could be sold as antiques! in place of the mask for CPR they had 5 shi...

This is my first year as a school nurse. I am finishing my first week. I was hired and patted on the back, told they had great confidence in my skills.I was shown the nurse office and given my computer code, over 200 new incoming new student files ...

My first week as a school nurse is just about over. Kids start back next week. I don't see why nurses in my district start with no training even on the computers. We start a week after teachers. In spite of the stress a new job has I love it! The nu...

Arizona, First year as school nurse. Three years a nurse and former paramedic. Pay is low at $ 36,000 year paid over 10 months. The hours work with my children so for me it is worth the low pay. It is exciting to be able to help families find resou...

I am a New Grad. I am in my mid 50's and just received my first termination. Working as a case manager was my dream job. I called my sister two days after I lost my first RN job. "I am unemployed" I said. "What happened, you loved your job" she ques...

Thank you for the info I did not know about the mandatory report for this. I will do so again thank you for the information. That is what I love about this site the info and advice from seasoned nurses!

I live in AZ and we are a right to work state. Being fired on a whim is allowed according to my atty. I have picked myself up, and have applied to every RN job I can find. I know that most employers will never ask for a nurse to do anything wrong....

I am posting a short paper I found and was wondering if nurses should be a part of death cafes. Why or Why not? "Death cafes," a trend that started in England, is spreading across the USA. Story Highlights Death cafes are casual get-togethers ...

I am sorry I was not clear, I do not want a MA as a one on one I just think we as nurses have "farmed out" so many task that we need to be careful what we allow to be done by unlicensed people. I fought very hard to have a one on one assigned so she...

I only used the outline and practice test from EC. I made all A's and graduated in 9 months. I just graduated with my BSN also. Several of my friends said they felt ripped off by College network. You must be willing to read a large amount of mate...

Sign your name Jane Doe, LPN, GN if you like but not RN or you may find a invitation to see your board of nursing before you get your NCLEX done. In the remaining time pat yourself on the back- you did it. Standing ovation to you and all the new grad...

When a hospital looks at the bottom line ($$) they consider many factors. The largest percent of a hospital budget is in staffing with nursing taking the largest of that. So indeed that is a consideration. However they also look at compliance with c...
