There's no "you live in a hurricane prone area" here. This hurricane is unprecedented. It is levelling islands. These patients should be evacuated. If the facility decides not to then they are deciding to put them and you in harms way. Go take care of your child.

I am in the same field and I love it. I work nights and I've learned quite a few lullabies to comfort them.

I don't but I just went to a Dave Gilmour concert in NYC (Pink Floyd) and MAN did it smell wonderful in there. I was a bit jealous that I couldn't.

I have a big bust, broad shoulders, thick arms, and wide hips but everything else is shapely. So I can either get a size too big and it looks bulky (slovenly) or wear a size that fits everything else but is tight at the top. I have no in between and I can't afford tailor fitted. and I am short

This is what you do... Macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles hot dogs and beans. Simple meals with paper plates. Nutrition can wait 9 months. Laundry, dust, dishes, crumbs on the floor, nieces and nephews birthday parties, all take a back seat. Immediate family, work, and school are your only priorities. Focus straight ahead and keep repeating "I can see the light at the end..."

Home health. The hours are flexible and the pay is decent. PSA or Shriver Nursing are two examples of agencies.

I know I am late to the game but... clinicals mostly taught me to read, write, and think about care plans and interventions. This turned out to be vital in my career as well as being able to critically think on your feet. Textbook information came in second. You need to know WHY you need to do something the way it needs to be done. Anything else can be learned on the job.

Best...answer....ever

Also, we were told not to wear them around our neck in case a patient becomes violent and tries to strangle us. If we wanted to wear an ID around our neck it couldn't be a lanyard type. It had to be the rope kind that detaches with force.

Old post but I have to share this... It was during my clinical days on an acute care floor. One morning firemen and two police men appear on the floor asking for Mrs So and So. The staff had no idea what was going on and led them to her room. Apparently, this adorable little old lady had a question about her ambulance bill and figured that, in order to get her answers she would call back the number she called to get the ambulance... 911. The policemen were quite gracious and stayed behind to go over her bill with her and figure out who she actually needed to call.

Oh, and anxiety is fine but don't turn down a job because of it. Go to the training and ask all the right questions. Research ahead of time. Make sure you are comfortable before you start a shift alone. Most families make sure one parent is home to help new nurses until the parents and the nurse are comfortable.
