  1. From med-surg to NICU?

    NeoNurseTX replied to CTRN2679's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Only 7 weeks into NICU, I wanted out of that, too! Give it a shot before you start hopping around. It takes a WHILE to get used to being a ' real

  2. Increasing Parental Involvement/Satisfaction

    NeoNurseTX replied to BittyBabyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Personally, I check our teaching checklist to see what the parents are done before. Sometimes, the RNs don't record if the parents changed the diaper, etc, so if it's blank, I ask if they've done it....

  4. Pros/Cons of Pool?

    NeoNurseTX replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    No PPE, no work, no

  6. Interview questions and what you would say?

    NeoNurseTX replied to heaverboo's topic in General Nursing

    For my weaknesses I do say I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it stresses me out - and that I expect myself to function as an experienced nurse when I'm not. It's true.. and it DOES stress me out. I had...

  9. When will I feel comfortable in my nursing role?

    NeoNurseTX replied to DAMomma's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I felt comfortable about 7 months after I started ...it was after I finished orientation and an internship. However, I'm about to go to a more critical NICU so I'm sure I'll start all over

    NeoNurseTX replied to Sarah Bellum's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Just Because You're a Nurse

    NeoNurseTX replied to Jaybird310's topic in General Nursing

    One of my "friends" will only talk to me to ask for fertility advice. I don't know how many times I can tell her that my thing is babies once they are OUT of the mother and she needs to consult Google...

  14. Reporting other nurses

    NeoNurseTX replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    I report what needs to be reported - IE RN before me charted and told me that IVF A has been running and when I looked at the bag, it's something completely different (and not what is ordered). ..or...

  15. Feeling worthless over bad exam experience

    NeoNurseTX replied to Gabesmomma's topic in General Students

    There's a saying that is.. I used to be an A student, now I'm a nursing student! Very few people make it through nursing school without a bad grade here and there.. the top of the top make it in and...

  16. lost in clinical.. confused about nursing school...:(

    NeoNurseTX replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    I felt like that most of clinicals. You can't really feel like you're helping the patient because you have so much redundant paperwork of your own to take care of -- even an an RN you will feel like...

    NeoNurseTX replied to our8kids's topic in General Students

  19. Will it be a good experience for me???

    NeoNurseTX replied to meyun06's topic in General Nursing

    I think it will help in nursing school but it won't give you a good idea of what it is to be an RN. Had I been a tech BEFORE starting NS, I would have NEVER have gone this career path...I worked as a...

    NeoNurseTX replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

  22. Where to work first

    NeoNurseTX replied to lovegreen27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you really want PP, I don't think med/surg would be too much of a help. I'm in NICU, and I can tell you not a thing learned in med/surg woulda helped me out (except time
