Hello, So I've realized that I don't have enough experience yet to do travel nursing(wouldn't want to jeopardize my license!) But I desperately want to get out of my hometown/state, so now I'm at the point of just applying to specific hospitals in o...

I have a patient I recently started and for some reason the nurses on this case keep prefilled syringes of each med in large labeled baggies..I do not understand why they do this and always draw up my own meds, and if there is none left in the bottle...

I agree, it it a huge problem when parents don't refill meds, at this house if the bottle is empty it's because the other nurses prefilled the syringes for the whole month. I already straightened that problem out by telling the parents, other nurses ...

That's what I wasn't sure of..if working privately would still go against my license. Thanks for clarifying that for me :) Some extra money is not worth risking my license!!

I actually don't really know the family yet, they are friends of a friend.. I'm ok with just "babysitting as nurse" my only concern is what if there is a code situation or other emergency..I don't believe I can act on it as a nurse because I'm not o...

I actually just worked a DYFS case last week, the child who was in foster care had medical issues. The social worker did say that foster parents get good money for each child they take in, they get even more money if a child has medical needs.
