  1. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    Seas replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    Yes. You have to pay to transfer that verification to them. Make sure you actually sent that verification and not only looked up for yourself. :) I am working on the requirements

  2. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE this idea. I will definitely stop the conversation if anything like this happens again in public. Stopping your manager and reminding her of employee rights would actually put the manager in an...

  3. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Umm, I dont agree actually. To me, this was just a nicer way of saying, "Sorry, it felt embarrassing, but you deserved it. It is best to do it in private, but it doesn't have to be, in such case. If...

  4. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, mentioning "her child", I also told her something like "I felt like I was a little child being fussed at by her mom". So, I agree with you on that; it definitely felt like that. As far as...

  5. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Fırst, I want to thank all of you for all the ideas and empathy! So, I went to my manager's office past Friday and requested to meet to discuss this. We did sit down and talked in her office....

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all! I will talk with my manager today. Very good

  7. Central line infection- how long until symptoms occur?

    Seas posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I searched online for this question but just can't find an answer. Good, informational websites even tell all about central line associated blood stream infections, but no answer to...

  8. Central line infection- how long until symptoms occur?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, that picture looks too large, and I couldnt resize it. I found it online, and it looks smaller online. But anyway, I dont think my question was understood correctly. I mainly wonder how long...

  9. Central line infection- how long until symptoms occur?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I am open to any resources. :) I am careful and particular with my lines actually. Infection risk is always in my mind, and I make sure to alcohol swab and use alcohol caps for my lines. This was a...

  10. Central line infection- how long until symptoms occur?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    This is several weeks after the insertion. So, it is definitely not insertion but maintenance related. From needleless ports during flushes, spiking new IV bags, or cap changes, microorganisms entered...

  11. How much of orientation is sufficient for Mother/Baby?

    Seas posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello all, I am starting my new job in Mother/baby unit next Monday. My orientation is going to be 6-8 weeks (including hospital orientation too); it is said on the schedule that, it is 3 weeks on...

  12. NICU nursing vs postpartum

    Seas replied to berthajones's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I went to NICU after pp (mother/baby actually), and I would never go back to pp. But everybody is different. Most pp nurses I worked with disliked and was absolutely not interested in nicu. It is okay...

  13. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    Seas replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    Which decade and which country? Let's be honest. If you aren't interested in going to school and being educated, then you just aren't. You can't become anything that requires schooling. This includes...

  14. MSN at the bedside

    Seas replied to nataliehsly's topic in General Nursing

    I am a NICU nurse with MSN. I got mine in administration, and I currently have no interest in administration. I plan to stay at bedside for a while. You could stay at bedside with education MSN too, I...

  15. Changing Nappy- How often?

    Seas replied to tinkerbell419's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We change them with every set of care/feeding. In your example, yes we would change them every 3 hours for all 4

  16. "Pre-requisite" of being a labor and delivery nurse/midwife-being a mom?

    Seas replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    One of my pet peeves in nursing is trying to sell your personal experience that has nothing to do with nurse experience as a valuable "nursing experience". I find this pretty immature. Come on. Study...

  17. Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    Seas replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    As a RN who went to school all the way up to MSN, also with 4 years of bedside experience in 3 different specialties, I think school was more

  18. Intimitaded by day shift position, vent...

    Seas posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has this ever happened to you guys? I have been a nurse for 4 years, and I have done all nights in all 3 positions I have held. Over the whole 4 years, I never liked working nights. I just stuck with...

  19. Intimitaded by day shift position, vent...

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, those discharges intimidate me more than anything actually. Making sure everything is complete, all discharge teaching is done, and once the patient leaves and something was left out, too late. I...

  20. A VERY frustrated nurse

    Seas replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It looks like you need improvement on time management. You don't think it is a big deal, but it actually is. We don't have unlimited time for charting as we get paid for every minute. If you stay late...

  21. Post-partum or Med-Surg

    Seas replied to EH44's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I once was a mother/baby nurse too. Thankfully I did it after telemetry. Don't start in pp as a new grad. I personally felt sorry for the new grads in my pp unit. Because you will forget pretty much...

  22. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    Seas posted a topic in General Nursing

    I signed up for a 11a-7pm shift at my work. The paper to sign up has been there for longer than a week now, and I am the only one who signed up for it so far. Looks like I might get it. I searched...

  23. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I try to go to a day schedule, but I am just suffering. I am amazed how many nightshifters don't have issues flipping to day schedule and they still live a normal life. I talk to my coworkers...

  24. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is a permanent shift so far. I have read all the comments. Thank you all for the input! I better do ask about it and see the expectations before I accept the position. I have been thinking...

  25. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    Good thing is that I don't have very much of a social life, no kids, no marriage, etc. I don't like shopping either, lol. So, really nothing but school and work I do. I have school online though. But...
