  1. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    RN4NICU replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    :yeah: :yeahthat: :yeahthat: :yelclap:

  2. Yeah, that's right, it's my fault.

    RN4NICU replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    So did I, but I still thought it was a cute idea -- tackling strangers randomly on the street and telling them: "Go into nursing and stay at the bedside OR ELSE!!!!"

  3. IP become invalid if you fail NCLEX????

    RN4NICU replied to becky88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it means Interim Permit Couldn't tell you about whether it will show up as expired before you would get your NCLEX results

  4. Yeah, that's right, it's my fault.

    RN4NICU replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    you mean people like this? https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/salary-question-143472.html or this? https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/people-complaining-about-wages-45072.html?highlight=complain+salary or...

  5. Physical Therapy Program for Nurses

    RN4NICU replied to DeepNurse's topic in General Nursing

    actually... there are still masters programs out there, so while the push for the doctorate is definitely there (like the push for doctorate to be entry to practice for nps), it hasn't happened yet....

  6. Break anyone??????????????????????

    RN4NICU replied to nursesue71's topic in General Nursing

    When you've gotta go, you've gotta go. The med cart can be locked up and can wait. The forms that need to be filled out can wait. A ringing phone can keep on ringing. I wouldn't worry about who...

  7. my first practical nursing assignments

    RN4NICU replied to gearheadz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Mine also, the OP has posted 3 times - the gist of all 3 posts being "do my homework for

  8. case study(med-surg nurse getting pulled to busy L&D unit)

    RN4NICU replied to nursev2006's topic in General Nursing

    That has been my experience as well, except I have been pulled to Peds and PICU without PALS and to med/surg and ER without ACLS (it's enough to make your hair stand on end when you realize that if...

  9. case study(med-surg nurse getting pulled to busy L&D unit)

    RN4NICU replied to nursev2006's topic in General Nursing

    This is just a symptom of the external de-professionalization of nursing. Nurses are not deemed fit to decide whether they are competent enough in a "foreign" area to take an assignment - they are...

  10. Are You A Type "a" Nurse Or Type "b"

    RN4NICU replied to kellbell1's topic in General Nursing

    We can't put in our own PICCs in the NICU, the NNPs do it and they are not there at night. So if you can't get your PICC, then what do you do? The baby HAS to have the line, and as Gompers pointed...

  11. Are You A Type "a" Nurse Or Type "b"

    RN4NICU replied to kellbell1's topic in General Nursing

    Total Type A, except for the part about IV sticks. Not only would trying that many times be against hospital policy (policy is 2 attempts/nurse), but it just wouldn't be smart. If you don't get it...

  12. Good MSN/MBA online programs?

    RN4NICU replied to Papadoc's topic in Post Graduate Students

    $300/credit hour is about average for graduate school

  13. Projected Nursing Shortages - Year 2020

    RN4NICU replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are underestimating the number of states with a surplus. Check out this thread https://allnurses.com/forums/f8/nursing-shortages-not-my-area-140829.html The OP in that thread is in...

  14. What is pediatric nursing? What does it involve?

    RN4NICU replied to sallygirl2001's topic in Pediatric

    The school for a nurse, regardless of specialty, is the same - 2 years for ADN/ASN (after prerequisites), 4 years for BSN (including prerequisites). I also recommend you get your RN, as you will have...

  15. "Incidental overtime"

    RN4NICU replied to optimisticSRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Lawyers and Doctors are salaried professionals. They earn their same salaries whether they work 30 hours per week or 80 hours per week. I do not think that is what ANY of us wants for nursing -...

  16. Almost fired today

    RN4NICU replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    That, IMO, is a big part of the problem. It should mean something to you. When you gain experience in a particular area, you become familiar with what is usual/customary/acceptable and more easily...

  17. doesn't like being a cna

    RN4NICU replied to nursewannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. I never wanted to be a CNA - so I never was one. It has not prevented me from being a good

  18. Not cut out to be a nurse?

    RN4NICU replied to Pookybean's topic in General Nursing

    I was gagging just reading about the ick in the back of the throat!!

  19. then again, maybe not

    RN4NICU replied to hamilton110's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle I hear

  20. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    RN4NICU replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not convinced that mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths really do all that much good. An exhaled breath is only about 17% oxygen. The person's sats are going to fall with them or without them. You are...

  21. As bad as they say??

    RN4NICU replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Just because it wasn't what you wanted to hear DOES NOT mean that it is not true. Nursing salaries do not increase much over time in relation to new graduate pay. It has nothing to do with my...

  22. As bad as they say??

    RN4NICU replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't count on it. Nursing salaries start out pretty well, comparatively speaking, but they stay pretty well flat after that. Nursing doesn't reward education and experience the way other...

  23. Anyone taken classes at BYU online?

    RN4NICU replied to HisTreasure's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have taken several courses through BYU online - both science and non-science. I had a very positive experience with

  24. What Is The Difference Between MSN And NP.

    RN4NICU replied to Benji76lpn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Pardon me, but I never said that an MSN and an NP WERE the same thing. I said that the MSN qualified you to take the exam to be certified as an NP - which it does if you graduate with an MSN with an...

  25. Would you become a nurse again

    RN4NICU replied to Human nurse's topic in General Nursing
