  1. How do I wear this?

    MissJoRN replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry, caps now are easy to take care of! Soak in hot sudsy water, rinse and lay on a flat surface to dry. I did use a warm iron sometimes just to speed up the drying. Now if I had to dry...

  3. Developmental Issues

    MissJoRN replied to mahal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm curious to see the answers you get, maybe try posting to the NICU board? I have nothing to offer (my only "NICU" experience was really a "special care nsy" with relatively short term issues,...

  4. Interesting Read

    MissJoRN replied to Pete495's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not anywhere that I've seen- my experience is limited to nursing school in one hospital and working maternal child in a second. In our hospital there is no neo code cart- anything that may be needed...

  5. I have a question among many many questions

    MissJoRN replied to AussieKylie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    KVO (also TKO- to keep open) is usually a rate of 25 in adults, lower in pedi, to keep the IV cath patent with just enough pressure from the line to balance venous pressure from backing blood into the...

  6. Hospital approval for outside work???

    MissJoRN replied to moz's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard of this, disclosure of potential "conflict of interest" Some forms have you check off and elaborate only if certain criteria apply, and, although I have a second job in the healthcare...

  7. Wearing scrubs in public...

    MissJoRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital did in the 70s- Nurses were not allowed to eat in the main caeteria, had to carry their food to their floor lounges in covered boxes. Drs ate in the Med Staff lounge so that left...

  8. How do I wear this?

    MissJoRN replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    Kays should know exactly what you want if you tell them your school, or if you would want something more generic there's a retailer that sells them through ebay. My school cap was pretty funky,...

  9. How do I wear this?

    MissJoRN replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    if there is that small tab mentioned you can try the method of pinning it to a cotton ball or tissue, that didn't work for me... not co-ordinated enough, also I didn't care about the cap but I refused...

  10. CRNA Health Problems

    MissJoRN replied to SaraB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    you should be wearing lead for xrays, make sure you bring an apron and thyroid in with you before your cases scheduled with rad or are friendly enough with a circulator to grab one for you- many will...

    MissJoRN posted a topic in Pulmonary

    I'm taking a self study trach vent course for homecare, I found several resources but can't find any real info on the circuit- set up, parts, etc. Maybe I'm worrying too much about varient details,...

  12. pin ?

    MissJoRN replied to ken-pin's topic in Men in Nursing

    There was a student at my school who requested and was given a cap, it was a memento he rightfully earned if he wanted it, for his daughter. I'm sure she, and your daughter, sacrificed too for their...

  13. Parade Magazine's Ask Marilyn column - is this crazy or am I overreacting?

    MissJoRN replied to capgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that was her point- some people in scrubs on the street are not health care workers, it would be very lacking in judgement to accept "help" etc from someone just based on the fact that they...

  14. Nursing in Veterinary Setting

    MissJoRN replied to Homesteader2B's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure... some hospitals will hire people off the street to train, so why not a nurse? That's how i got a job as a vet tech years ago. The pay is terrible though, you really have to like it, but...

  15. "Rewriting" Home-care flow sheets

    MissJoRN replied to billssisbeth's topic in Home Health

    OMG... I do pedi home care and often find myself handing in notes that have been scribbled over with crayon or have juice spilled on them by siblings, LOL. Never have been asked to re-write. Nursing...

  16. Best Stethoscope for Mother-Baby

    MissJoRN replied to FizzgigRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a "speciallty hopper" but mostly I do peds so I have an ADC pediatric scope (nearly identical to the Littmann, but a little cheaper.) I love it and it goes to every specialty I go including...
