I worked in a Rheumatology Infusion Suite and am now working in a Gastro IV suite - and we just had this discussion today. And the nurse is doing exactly what you are for ordering medications. I believe that is how it was done when I worked in R...
Hello! I was recently hired at an insurance agency/Third Party Administrator as an RN Case Manager for Workers Comp Claims - Telephonic Case Management. Anyone out there doing this? I would like to learn all I can - any good online courses, books, e...
I am new to GI nursing and working in an Endoscopy unit and have been trained on the job for moderate sedation. I have used the SGNA site and did the sedation overview, but am curious how others have been trained. I know some organizations have the...

I have decided to leave my hospital nursing job only after 4 months and I'm technically still a "new" grad having graduated in May 2011. I thought I wanted a floor job and that that was what I NEEDED to do, but find the long shifts, nights, weekends...
Well, there is a reason that you have decided to leave the hospital setting right? I am a new nurse and thought as most new nurses do that I NEEDED to start my career as a floor nurse, 4 months later I find that I hate it, as someone else posted her...
I'm feeling the same way in my first nursing job which is a hospital job. I just don't feel like it's for me, felt like I HAD to go this route to feel like a "real" nurse, but am realizing the hours, heavy lifting, and over all quality of life isn't...
