  1. NICU to nurse educator?

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am an RN with my bachelor's. I'm working in a NICU which I really enjoy. I've always thought about graduate school, but I'm not sure what I'd want to do. I'm not terribly excited about the...

  2. New job!

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've been a nurse for a few years, and I'm starting a new job in the NICU this week. I've wanted to do NICU for a long time but there weren't the jobs before, so I've been working with adults. I'm so...

  3. What do you say to people thinking about nursing?

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 4 years. I work on a busy med/surg unit. The question is specifically because of a friend of mine. He's 28 years old, still in college, not really sure what he wants to do. He...

  4. I work with children

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    No, actually I do not work with children. But if I told you my stories, you wouldn't believe me. I haven't even been a nurse that long, but every day I'm convinced we age backwards. Not in the...

  5. Antidepressants

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am working with long-term care patients, and some hospice patients. One of my hospice patients is very confused, very tired, and is on hospice for failure to thrive and dementia. Recently, as part...

  6. Resources?

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm here to ask for your best resources for hospice care. I'm looking for research on end of life and I couldn't find much about it. I want to know more about the common issues that come up with...

  7. End of Life care for beginners

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm a fairly new nurse, and just starting out at an SNF. First off, I love my job, I love my residents and my coworkers :) Today was my first personal experience with a patient death. I've had...

  8. Calling in RX?

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, at my clinic, I was made aware that before I started and after the old nurse left, a coworker used to call in prescriptions for the nurse practitioner. This coworker of mine has no medical...

  9. Considering military...?

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in Government, Military

    First, I'm sure there's a bajillion similar posts, so I'm sorry for the redundant post. I didn't see something that quite described what I was looking for. I'm a registered nurse with BSN. Ideally,...

  10. 2012 Nurse Residency Program at Vanderbilt

    jeyre1847 replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Well, now, that sucks for the rest of the new grads who didn't get hired during the summer. Bleh. Seems to be the story pretty much

  11. They're just not that into you

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you've ever read the book or seen the movie, you may remember some of the crazy things people tell themselves and what they do to get a little attention. I've found myself doing similar things, but...

  12. 2012 Nurse Residency Program at Vanderbilt

    jeyre1847 replied to rlt0006's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I feel kind of stupid even asking this. I read a lot about it, then I just filled out the application. I know when I was looking earlier I found the forms and a list of things needed to apply. Now I...

  13. Thinking of becoming a nurse

    jeyre1847 replied to Koko4's topic in Nursing Career

    I think every week in pathophysiology, I convinced myself that I either had whatever diseases it was that week, or I was inevitably doomed to get

  14. Question for those who hire, regarding reference checks

    jeyre1847 replied to klone's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So, related topic: What's the likelihood of current or former boss being called, compared to a personal reference? When I apply, I list employers, past employers, etc, and that yes, they can contact...

  15. Losing hope

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in May. I should be fairly happy with where I am, but I'm not. I graduated cum laude from a very good university, passed boards and now I'm an official RN (yay!). I've been applying for...

  16. Losing hope

    jeyre1847 replied to jeyre1847's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the input! I'm starting to look a little more into relocating, like what I have to do for another license, etc, and filling out some more job applications, but in more places. I have...

  17. Losing hope

    jeyre1847 replied to jeyre1847's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any suggestions of where is looking for nurses? Or what magazines I should check for these places? I'm in an area quite saturated with nursing schools. Texas sounds nice, but I don't speak...

  18. Random insurance question

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated, and I got a job at a private clinic. It is not affiliated with any medical system, but is partners with the pharmacy I used to work at. I just got all my benefits paperwork. I think...

  19. Study schedule?

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In some review book somewhere, I remember seeing a chart for how much you should be studying to take the NCLEX. For example, if you have xx weeks until your test date, you should study xx number of...

  20. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    jeyre1847 replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I will never smoke, thanks to a couple of emphysema and lung cancer patients. I don't want to be lugging around an oxygen tank and feel like I'm drowning when I'm in my 60's. Not as entertaining as...

  21. Scope of practice

    jeyre1847 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This is a really random question, but I'm wondering what the scope of practice is for a CNM compared to an OB? Do they usually work together? Examples: Can a CNM take a complicated delivery, or does...

  22. Scope of practice

    jeyre1847 replied to jeyre1847's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  23. Confess! Whats the craziest force of habit you've done in the "Real World"

    jeyre1847 replied to vhern246's topic in Nursing Humor

    I sometimes take some motrin/tylenol/whatever, look at my watch, then reach for my phantom pockets to write down the time, pain rating, dose,

  24. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    jeyre1847 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Not as interesting as all your stories, but we had a patient kind of like this in my ER rotation. He went to the primary care doctor before they opened without an appointment. The nurse said he could...

  25. How about your favorite Old Wives Tales related to health?

    jeyre1847 replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think it's interesting how many of these are about pregnancy and babies. Maybe it's because this was a very mysterious aspect of health many years ago, and people were trying to find a reason for...
