    Only charting?

    Julius Seizure replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    It's okay because she is a new student in her first clinical semester and learning the observation skills of a nurse is literally what you are in school for. If you already knew everything on day 1,...

    Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    Julius Seizure replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    What about new grads (like me) who started out in the ICU? They didn't have 'more experience'. Should they be paid

    Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    Julius Seizure replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    To add to this, there are absolutely reasons that some nurses expertise and training in their field of specialty should warrant higher compensation. Certifications and degrees. Show that you are a...

    CRRT and mobility

    Julius Seizure replied to dec2007's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've seen ECMO patients be ambulated and work with physical therapy......it seems that if those patients can, CRRT patients could too....technically. Obviously this is a case-by-base decision, as it...

    Would you give up a great federal job to pursue a nursing degree

    Julius Seizure replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    I'm not feeling like its a good idea for you right now. 1. You are living paycheck to paycheck and barely keeping up with payments on the loans that you already have. I assume that your plan if you...

    Yacker Tracker in the NICU ???

    Julius Seizure replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    I would hope that somebody is paying attention to what sets it off and is making steps to fix THOSE noises. The light does no good if its just ignored. But if alarms and call bells are setting it...

    I appreciate the clarifications, and I just want to let you know that I don't think your ideas are invalid, I just wanted to give some suggestions/cautions on how to proceed with the post you said you...

    I see that you are a new member. Have you been a long time reader, or are you new to these forums? I ask because don't anticipate your future video post to work out well, especially considering that...

    Yacker Tracker in the NICU ???

    Julius Seizure replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    I'm okay with these. They way I've seen them used is to create an awareness of the noise level, not to be punitive. The amount of noise in a hospital contributes to the difficulty patients have in...

    Does your community college offer pediatrics as a clinical?

    Julius Seizure replied to pnpvirginia's topic in General Students

    BSN at a private university here - our peds exposure was a semester that was 1/2 peds, 1/2 OB. We had about 5 days of peds clinicals, but it was in the small-town general hospital and at least one of...

    Do profs usually go over parts of A&P that are relavent to the topic they are teaching?

    Julius Seizure replied to annieelu's topic in General Students

    You'll be fine, but you'll want to review that A&P on your own so that you are prepared to learn as you go through the semester. So, like someone else said, before the renal lecture you should...

    Eating Their Young

    Julius Seizure replied to futurelnd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your conclusion is surprising, because I think ICU and ER are the specialties with the most MEN. If more women = more NETY, I would have thought your conclusion would have been that something like...

    Only charting?

    Julius Seizure replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    I see a lot of people on this thread saying, "come follow me in the ICU and you'll see how complicated nursing can be!" Sure, ICU is definitely complex. But I would encourage the OP and other...

    Only charting?

    Julius Seizure replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Based on your posts in other threads, you seem incredibly motivated to get a high GPA and take relevant extra classes that will make you competitive for, I presume, grad school. That's great. But you...

    Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    Julius Seizure replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, out of curiosity, do you know what the coworker's recourse was for refusing having a student? Like, did she tell the charge nurse that? Or call the student's clinical instructor? Or just tell...

    Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    I once had three students, and I was floating to that floor (for the first time)! Apparently every other nurse must have said that they didn't want a student that

    Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    Julius Seizure replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Is your job peds focused still? I've often thought I would love to look for a M-F job slightly further from the bedside, but I feel a little limited with only pediatric

    Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    Julius Seizure replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked for a while in a radiology recovery unit. It was in the hospital, recovering patients who were given propofol sedation for CT scans and things like that. 1-2 patients at a time, then they...

    Recommended experience for first time travel assignment.

    Julius Seizure replied to Samc144's topic in Travel

    Great advice. I would say that is what helped to prepare me the most for traveling - I worked a float team position where I often would move to a different floor every 4 or 8 hours. You get used to...

    Babysitting a down-syndrome infant post-heart surgery - tips?

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

    Agree. Sounds like this is a family that specifically wants a nurse as their babysitter. That puts you in a bad spot. I've heard of many families, usually of NICU preemies, who continue to want a...

    I like your posts generally, too. And no offense taken! I did say that there are good resources both here AND elsewhere. It's just another resource that I have often found helpful. I wouldn't...
