    Can visitors be 'forced' to wear PPE?

    Bruce_Wayne replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    For flu/droplets as long as you stay a few feet away from the patient, practice good hand hygiene, and don't touch your eyes and mouth I think you're reasonably safe. Not totally safe but safer than...

    oncall NP compensation

    Bruce_Wayne replied to kaylie1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    $200 dollars seems reasonable to me because if each call takes about 5 minutes give or take, even when you're taking 15 calls that's still $160/hr. Plus I think you have to consider more than just...

    I should have gone to med school! (rant)

    Bruce_Wayne replied to BmoreCRNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't want to give or take zofran IM, zofran barely works unless it's prophylaxis IMHO; and you can give it IV or subL so why go with IM?

    RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    Bruce_Wayne replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors University

    Thanks klone and CRNAspire, those also sound cool, and it also sounds similar to "independent study" classes I did for my first bach. So overall I'm less afraid of the practicum/capstone class

    RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    Wow thank you for answering my question. Even after talking to an enrollment counselor, I didn't have a good idea of what people actually did for their practicum. What you described sounds pretty...

    Bruce_Wayne posted a topic in General Nursing

    Who here keeps a personal diary? Of those that keep a diary how much nursing stuff gets thrown in there? I've been keeping a diary since June and I've been kind of scared to mention too much about...

    I think I should learn to sew. Can't find perfect scrubs.

    Bruce_Wayne posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think I should learn to sew because I can't find the perfect scrub bottoms. In pants I want a gusseted crotch like baseball pants have because I frequently find myself squating. I want two hip...

    Bruce_Wayne replied to thesundowner's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'll finish my ADN in December hopefully and I plan to go through to WGU RN to BSN program and try to start in April. WGU is pretty cheap but awards the same accredited BSN degree as more expensive...

    Sitters: A Thing of the Past?

    Bruce_Wayne replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    as a tech in school being told you're on sitter duty is a rare treat. We very rarely have sitters and try to get a family member to stay with the pt if possible. I've worked at larger hospitals that...

    When calling in are you asked "what's wrong with you"

    Bruce_Wayne replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    At all the hospital jobs I've had they've asked and I've told. I'm slightly surprised by the replies in here, I wonder if I'm the only one that tells their sups their symptoms when they call in....
