    You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    NightNurseRN13 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Here in NC, Doctors offices have mostly MOA's. One RN per module, One LPN and the rest MOA's. It's been that way for a while now... way before the ACA came a long. LPNs were taken out of the hospital...

    Spring Break Countdown

    NightNurseRN13 replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    Enjoy! I'm not in school anymore, but it was always my luck that we had a test the day we returned from break, so I never enjoyed mine

    Examples of ethical dilemmas in pediatric nursing?

    NightNurseRN13 replied to jen0415's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    When is the paper due? Will you have a chance to go back before the paper is due? If it has to be something you observed, I don't think we can really help

    Differences in diagnosis

    NightNurseRN13 replied to sarahlim's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As a nurse we don't make medical diagnoses but we can use them to identify nursing diagnoses. I personally wouldn't say sucking their thumb relates to impaired skin integrity, but I guess that could...

    Is there really a nursing shortage?

    NightNurseRN13 replied to hoppingpete's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wouldn't want to be hired as a new grad onto a unit with all "baby" nurses. Who would you turn to for help? Unfortunately despite my last post that has happened to a few of my former classmates and...

    PDN and snow: how do they treat you?

    NightNurseRN13 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    It's funny, the house that is my least favorite to work at (environment, amenities etc.) shot me a text saying to not come because it was too dangerous, while the house that is my favorite didn't ice...

    RN New Hire - what would you expect them to do?

    NightNurseRN13 replied to chsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As a new grad myself (7 months experience) I think firing is way too harsh, however, that is a fundamental mistake that was made. It def. doesn't need to go without being addressed. I would want to...

    Differences in diagnosis

    Depression is a medical diagnosis. An actual nursing diagnosis is one that is actually present. Ex. impaired skin integrity r/t .... A wellness nursing diagnosis also actually exists but is focused...

    It is Nursing-Yoda I seek!

    NightNurseRN13 replied to JennM_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally make more $ a hour than nurses with same experience at the hospital so that isn't an issue for me. I think it defeats the purpose of a supervisor showing up if the nurse knows their...

    Need help in writing a careplan

    NightNurseRN13 replied to Andrene93's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok so you've given us what was given to you, but what do YOU think. What would you expect to see with this patient? What concerns do you have? What would you do about these concerns to address them or...

    It is Nursing-Yoda I seek!

    NightNurseRN13 replied to JennM_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Could you do an anon survey presented to multiple home health agencies? As a home health/private duty nurse I can confirm that patient care is not what it should be. I don't see an increase in pay...

    Help Please, Geriatrics :(

    NightNurseRN13 replied to studentnurse92's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    With the mean being below passing it seems as though as a whole, what they expect you to know is not actually being taught or is not clear, however good luck getting anything to change without some...

    Ever come home from a shift where even the tiniest of extra, unexpected chores makes you want to break down and cry? That happened this morning. Came home to find out my son had wet the bed. Had a...

    Here is the one I used in school. Main diagnosis in middle and then all your nursing diagnosis with related evidence/symptoms in the boxes around it. I took it a step further and would draw lines...

    When I first started, I had my first night off after working 5 in a row and the adult male that I share my bed with asked what was for dinner. I said poptarts and he laughed. After seeing the look on...

    Sorry, sorry about that, I'm so sorry.

    NightNurseRN13 replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    One of my very best friends did that all throughout nursing school. We even joked with her about it because she said it so much. She still does it, but it's not because she doesn't know what she is...

    NightNurseRN13 replied to Nurse-84's topic in General Nursing

    I like to stay up late too, which is why night shift works so well for me, but you will find that even with night shift it's hard getting to sleep in the morning too. Don't drink caffeine towards the...

    How do you clean a really long incision (sterile technique)?

    NightNurseRN13 replied to inane's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would use a new piece of gauze for each swoop... it wouldn't hurt to use a new one half way through one swoop. side note: swoop is such a great word. When in doubt check policy. I wouldn't go by...
