    Is it a good idea to work before boards

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to lovenursebeing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked for awhile before I took the NCLEX. I needed the money in a bad way. It was also easier for me to stay in nurse mode. If I had taken time off, my skills would not have been fresh. While...

    Oboy........how should this be handled?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    See what happens. It may end up not being a problem at all. If it turns into one, treat it like we do when someone asks for healthcare advice on this board. "Call your PCP with any concerns you have....

    Oboy........how should this be handled?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just say, "Not too far from here." and change the subject. If someone continues to be too nosy, just say you can't get get more specific or you'll risk losing your job. Besides, once someone knows...

    Urine Sample from Foley

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to elysium's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Especially because urine can be sitting in the bag for hours sometimes. That's definitely long enought for things to fester. As for the self-sealing tubing, could you be getting the foley tubing mixed...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to Tadpole's topic in General Nursing

    This is what we try to get ordered, but by the time we get our residents trained, a new group rotates in and it's back to square one. :trout: Cancer pain is never going away. These people wake up...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to neneRN's topic in Oncology

    Since lymph circulates throughout your body, there's a possibility the cancer cells have travelled and can invade other sites. Also, by the time the tumor invades the nodes, it is no longer well...

    Breastfeeding moms who work on busy units

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Breastfeeding moms who work on busy units

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the only reason this woman got breaks was because she was willing to push for them. The fact that she was breastfeeding/pumping is secondary. You should be pushing for the breaks you...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Set aside an area that is for studying only. Hubby should be more supportive, but it's also not fair to be keeping him up late by studying in the bedroom. Plus a lot of research shows that if the...
