  1. Employee health nurse

    momof3lv posted a topic in General Nursing

  2. Baby RN's running ICU?!!

    momof3lv replied to kmarieCCRN's topic in Critical Care

    momof3lv replied to DeenieRN's topic in Travel

    momof3lv replied to Jbetty's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You don't want to work nights but don't want to work days either? What other options are there? Most of the non bedside positions are usually bankers hours which is a lot of the appeal for some...

  5. no reply from nurse manager

    momof3lv replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would try applying for a peds position at the hospital and then you can transfer to nicu when you get some experience. I use to work in pediatrics and while they do hire new grads at times, most of...

    momof3lv replied to chrysalis2015's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've heard, and this is just from people talking so not sure if it's totally reliable but supposing Ny is not hiring anyone who doesn't have a bsn anymore. Maybe someone in that area will have some...

  8. Does 1 month experience count against me to get into new grad residency?

    momof3lv replied to jellybeanjean's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If that's what it says then yes it will count against you. I've seen some postings where they say less than 6 months experience. But one of the big residency programs here always says must have no...

    momof3lv replied to RVRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Huh!?!?? I'm not sure why this is a question unless there is more to it? Assuming you are pass the age where your parents are setting up play dates for you it is okay to be friends and hang out with...

    momof3lv replied to JAX0411's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know the surgery center with southwest medical uses crnas. I don't know any personally though. You do realize that there are no crna programs here though so you will have to move to another state if...

  11. No pain meds in ER??

    momof3lv replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

    I've had patients tell me the iv acetaminophen worked better then the other iv pain meds they were getting. Yet we hardly ever use it. Go

  12. No pain meds in ER??

    momof3lv replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

    This is the main problem. I think things need to be addressed with the prescribers. I get so annoyed when my patient has some minor pain complaint and the doc orders morphine as a first med. Seriously...

    momof3lv replied to Mommynursegrace's topic in General Nursing

    momof3lv replied to mikko.ringor's topic in Chamberlain College

  15. How much do you work on your days "off"?

    momof3lv replied to Haijun's topic in General Nursing

  16. Non nurse to NP

    momof3lv replied to mishamo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why don't you look into becoming a PA instead of a NP? Seems like that would be a better route for someone with no nursing

  17. Float Pool Nursing Pay

    momof3lv replied to Murse0341's topic in Texas Nursing

    It depends what your pay is and how much you work. I know per diem nurses bringing in well over 6 figures but they work a lot. Like 5 days a week. This is in Vegas where the pay is fairly decent. I...

  18. Float Pool Nursing Pay

    momof3lv replied to Murse0341's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree sounds like per diem. Although if he was really only working a few days a month I seriously doubt the validity of making $16,000 a month. I make $5.00 more an hour working float pool so it's a...

    momof3lv replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Grated there may be different parameters for different midwives but I was a healthy person with well controlled bp on meds and the midwife at my doctors office wouldn't take me on just due to that. I...

    momof3lv replied to new.grad.rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

  22. How to handle back to back admissions within 1 hours of each other while having 4 other pt

    momof3lv replied to new.grad.rn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Consider yourself lucky. Usually our admits come within 10 mins of each other. You didn't say when in the shift the patients came though. Shift change or later in the night? Shooting chest pain I...

  23. Do nurses do med math

    momof3lv replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I did a lot of med math as a peds nurse. You are always calculating for weight in kg. As an adult nurse now, not so much but I still do it occasionally. I think it comes easier to me then some nurses...

  24. Excelsior Pass Rates!!!

    momof3lv replied to j1l4d's topic in Excelsior College

  25. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    momof3lv replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I always say this too. If the er is not required to give me an update on the patient than why do we still do shift report? Our er faxes a sheet that really has no real info on it. I would much rather...
