    NICU (Pros and Cons)

    YuHiroRN replied to singlesunshine's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would certainly wait until you're 1) actually in the nursing program and 2)done rotations through the unit, before making such a claim, especially since your basis is a YouTube video. Just my 2...

    New Grad NICU Support Thread

    YuHiroRN replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My unit does orientation in stages also. You might find your niche once the acuity of your patient load is kicked up a notch. I don't really take care of stable feeder/growers anymore, which is fine...

    Is it normal to be so tired on days off after working 3 12s?

    YuHiroRN replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone is different. Some of us could work an entire paycheck's worth of hours in less than a week and not skip a beat, while others of us need to spread out our days for the sake of our sanity. I'm...

    HELP New grad job dilemma

    YuHiroRN replied to TampaNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should go with the first offer, only because the commute probably won't be so terrible since you'd be working days. I would be super concerned about second job offer falling through... But...

    Help! Jobs for NICU nurse 1 year experience

    YuHiroRN replied to babygirl2014's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You mentioned your level of experience, and sadly your *very specific* specifications are more like a wish list for someone with your lack of experience. My advice would be to either sit tight in your...

    Understanding the Power of Nursing Specialty Certifications

    YuHiroRN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I would be lying if I said I didn't wait until the day after I passed my certification exam before applying for NNP school LOL! Those extra

    Advice please I’m torn.

    YuHiroRN replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like something that would fall under Mandated Reporter laws, easily. Or at least reach out to an ombudsman to see if it does. Regardless, protect yourself until you can reasonably not be a...

    How do you decompress?

    YuHiroRN replied to BarrelOfMonkeys's topic in General Nursing

    LOL at the amazon shopping - so guilty. I also decompress by crawling into bed with my laptop and catching up on my episodes that aired while I was at work the night before. I also like to get...

    Understanding the Power of Nursing Specialty Certifications

    YuHiroRN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I certified in Neonatal Intensive Care very recently (as in, I haven't even received my official paperwork from the NCC yet) but when I saw that preliminary pass certificate, I felt so validated for...

    Insulting pay raise

    YuHiroRN replied to shakeytails's topic in General Nursing

    Raises don't jive w/ a hospitals' bottom line, regardless of the size of institution. The only reason I think I've seen significant raises throughout my 5 years at bedside at my current job is because...

    Nursing Uniforms: From Skirts to Scrubs and Beyond

    YuHiroRN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't go to work trying to stand out or feel special. That being said, our hospital supplies color-coded uniforms with our discipline embroidered on the chest. The RNs are very obvious...

    Hospitals to apply for with 1 year experience in California

    YuHiroRN replied to nicuguy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Would you be willing to work down in Southern California? 5 years ago, I was able to move back home from Iowa with less than a year's experience, but I am in LA County. I have no idea what the market...

    How far would you commute for awesome salary?

    YuHiroRN replied to Noahj's topic in General Nursing

    For that kind of pay raise and not paying for insurance, you could easily afford a smaller hybrid vehicle just for your commute. I'd consider it to get into Kaiser also, but only if it were a...

    Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    YuHiroRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    For all my years of living in California and orienTING to a unit, it threw me way off when I moved to the Midwest and my coworkers asked how my orienTATING was going.

    Is Kaplan/Hurst really necessary?

    YuHiroRN replied to Ele_123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Necessary? Of course not. Helpful? Absolutely. It totally depends on your learning style; I took Kaplan and it was nice to listen to the info, synthesize it with their book visually, and study on my...

    The Fat One

    YuHiroRN replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    At the end of the day, the take home should be that the charge nurse should have taken the instructor to the side and expressed her concerns in private, NOT in earshot of the student. That is the...

    See if any smaller hospitals in outlying areas within a reasonable distance for you to commute have a pediatric floor and if their float pool is hiring. Or if the children's hospital in your area has...

    No, she will not. However, in my experience, other states don't take nearly as long AND even here in California, receiving an interim permit doesn't take that long. OP, my initial job hunt took me to...

    Does where you received your BSN matter?

    YuHiroRN replied to brian.lansing's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have personally never met any nurses who have received their BSN in anything higher than a state university, so I'm willing to say that no, it probably doesn't
