    What happens when the nurse is sick?

    Julius Seizure replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    Wow, thanks for all the responses! I'm currently unemployed and was wondering if subbing as a school nurse was an option to consider but it sounds like it would be very sporadic and tricky. Really...

    What was your scariest threat from a patient or family member

    Julius Seizure replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Two things: Oh yay...a note in your file. That totally makes up for the almost dying! Did they give you a $1 off ticket for the cafeteria too? (I don't know what I wanted them to do. At least not...

    NICU Cribs/Beds

    Julius Seizure replied to nickirnak's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We keep the rails all the way down sometimes, but pretty much only on medically paralyzed kids, ECMO kids, etc. If they are intubated, rails are generally half-way up. (Most of our kids are bigger...

    Is this Facebook status Hipaa compliant?

    Julius Seizure replied to musicmouse44's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I vote that you don't post it. It's kinda funny, and it's HIPAA friendly, but I wouldn't risk the wrath of my nursing school/clinical instructor over

    I haven't read any other responses so bear with me if I repeat something that's already been covered. This is gonna be long, but I hope you read it, OP. First of all, moving to the IMCU is not a...

    No autonomy or critical thinking as a nicu nurse. What is your unit like?

    Julius Seizure replied to SCRUBS.RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This has been my experience too. In the smaller community hospital PICU/CVICU, I could check a glucose or a blood gas, titrate drips, etc. It was common practice for the nurses to write their own...

    Is this legal?

    Julius Seizure replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Based on your post, OP, I can't see any legal problem, just a lack of good sense. She may be alienating potential patients and hurting her local reputation as a brand new FNP. I would be more...

    Accessing Documentation While on Break

    I agree. But I don't call it "charting on my break". I call it "sitting down to chart for 15 minutes" and not taking a

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    Julius Seizure replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...sort of. The problem isn't that we are gonna run out of nurses because they are all becoming NPs. I believe you are correct about that. I'm just not sure that is the crux of the

    Are LPNs the Answer to the RN Shortage in Some Locations?

    Julius Seizure replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been a manager, but could it be because of benefits? Hiring 6 part time staff who all get benefits in some amount, vs. hiring 4 full time staff and only having to provide benefits to 4...

    I've read this entire thread, and I didn't get the sense that the majority of people felt that you had no right to leave the situation. Granted, not many people explicitly addressed it but I think...

    There have been many really good, insightful posts on this thread about the downsides of bedside nurses leaving after 1-2 years to be APRNs. Its not that ambition is a bad thing. Its that having so...
