  1. Goal for NICU preceptor to implement preceptor packet sample

    Seas replied to youma's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I already read that the OP is from UAE before you said it. And I know allnurses host everybody from all over the world. But there is nothing wrong with asking where they are from to clarify things....

  2. Goal for NICU preceptor to implement preceptor packet sample

    Seas replied to youma's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't mean to sound like a grammar freak. I am only sincerely wondering and asking. Is English your second language? I also have trouble understanding your

    Seas replied to serenitylove14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No, it's definitely not. The fact is, you weren't a RN and not doing full RN

  4. Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Seas replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I come across with this saying all over the world wide web. I am a nurse and I have grown to get disgusted of this "humor". Please, please, please come up with something else now. This is no longer...

  6. New Grad Leaving Hospital for Office Job

    Seas replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Hospital is the way to go. Office doesn't have much of anything to offer you for FNP no matter who you work with and whatever you do there. And by the way, if boosting a patient or cleaning up poop...

  7. Who do nurses make more than?

    Seas replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

    OP, when I read your last couple posts, I couldn't help but laughed. If you mean to communicate by writing, you have to write well. It shows how much you really value others' opinions here, and how...

  8. New LVN management/case manager

    Seas replied to gwelsh87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I personally don't think any new grad, no matter what the education level, is ready for any type of management position. But does it happen? Yes. It is just not right in my opinion. I think one should...

  9. Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nothing happened. I am starting tomorrow morning. I have received phone calls regarding schedule, orientation, classes, and even drug screen. Everything is set; I was let know my preceptor the other...

  10. Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    Seas posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello, I made a long research about this but couldn't find anything that would answer my question. Anyway. I accepted a new job offer by the end of last month. Everything was discussed of course. My...

  11. Is it really "easier" working in a hospital after you have worked in a nursing home?

    Seas replied to jobhunting's topic in General Nursing

    I think people confuse that acute care and long term care nurses have way different type of stress. Hospital (acute care) is unexpected with quick condition changes on patients. You can't have as many...

  12. Who do nurses make more than?

    Seas replied to Amber215's topic in General Nursing

  14. Charge Nurse Ignores Me

    Seas replied to qt2168's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I doubt you get her attention before you start talking about a patient. She may not hear you while talking to someone else. What they are talking about doesn't matter. They are in a conversation...

  15. How do we suction respiratory secretions from a patient with an NG tube?

    Seas replied to Imnewnurse111's topic in General Nursing

    First, you need an order to NT suction someone. It isn't only nursing judgement. After that, I don't see why not suction them on the other nare. However, you need to make sure the patient...

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

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Haha, honey, I am coming from telemetry. I don't think any place can be worse than that. Thank you for your input! I said 3 weeks on days, but I just checked the scheduled again. It is actually 2...

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you anggelRN! Yes, I know it is a lot of teaching. Only if I knew it, I sure would teach. lol.That's another thing. I need to learn all that before I can teach. I just hope I survive. I actually...

  18. Do You Have To Be Religious/Spiritual to be a good Nurse?

    Seas replied to Soliloquy's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well, if you go to a deeply religious school, then you will see all those religious practices. It is normal and expected. If it is that much uncomfortable for you, go to a regular school that doesn't...

  19. New grad--should I specialize in ICU or L&D??

    Seas replied to girliegirlieRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Go for ICU then. Yes, L&D is highly specialized. ICU is more diverse, but with critical patients. You would learn more broad knowledge in the ICU. Or think about which one would help you get into...

  20. Does working at a clinic considered "acute" experience?

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

    I don't see where it says LPN assesses. It says they collect data which we already know. There is nothing

  23. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    Seas replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I believe in getting BSN as entry. Research shows that death rates are lower for the patients who were taken care by BSN or higher educated nurses. I have read this on my books. Plus, BSN is...

  24. criminal history,accepted to nursing school??

    Seas replied to smiley gal's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I don't agree that he/she needs to find a way to get this removed from his/her record. Would it be fair to the ones who kept their records clear by not doing such mistakes? Anyway, nursing schools...

  25. Burnt Out, Tired of Floor Nursing

    Seas replied to MystyqueOne's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow. Was it med-surg that stressed you this much? Did EAP help you feel better about this job? And are you still there and coping better, or did you end up
