    NayRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    NayRN replied to 4eversail's topic in Legal

  9. CNA work

    NayRN replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NayRN replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

  11. pt safety question, please help

    NayRN replied to nurse12b's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  12. Dont wanna be a floor nurse..

    NayRN replied to Meese.C's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how someone who doesn't have much bedside experience could possibly be an effective manager. Real life is different from theory. I am a BSN educated RN with 3 years experience with a BSBA...

    NayRN replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

  14. Nurse to Patient Ratio

    NayRN replied to flg2008's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I certainly feel better about staffing at my hospital now! I work med/surg tele, and our ratios are 6:1, sometimes 7, sometimes 4-5. Plus, there is usually a tech for each nurse. 10 is simply unsafe,...

  15. Night shift Moms - how do you do it?

    NayRN replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 10 year old, a 6 year old, and a 1 year old, and I work nights-have for 3 years. I see my kids more than I would working days-7am-7pm means I am always home for dinner. Of course, I am lucky...
