  2. Oxygen order changes

    I work in peds, as well, and truly cannot imagine having to call at night for every half liter adjustment! We usually have ranges and possible equipment...you do need a different order for a high...
  3. Language barrier dilemna

    I guess my first question is why you need English speaking patients? Does your school require a thorough interview of the patient? I also live in an area where at least half of my patients' parents...
  4. Teenager with seizures kept from school?

    I may be overly cynical and jaded, but the only way I see this happening is if the school determined that an empty or partially empty container of unprescribed drugs was found next to him during the...
  5. Crisis Pay

    At my hospital, crisis pay is rare and has to be implemented from the top management. Normally, any extra shift for a full time RN gets time and a half, but when the hospital finds themselves very...
  6. New york work schedule

    I do not think that schedule is necessarily unique to New York! If I worked that schedule I would want it the way you have it currently to maximize weekend off time. If you were to work Friday night,...

  11. Dr. On Demand????!!!!!

    Sounds similar to Stat Doctors that some employers are including with medical insurance now! Some of my coworkers swear by
  12. Is med. surg the hardest class in nursing school?

    It may end up having been the hardest for you. Medsurg was not the hardest for me, I am pretty sure it varies by person and school. For me, OB was my most difficult class, but that was the area that I...
  13. Clinicals and stethoscope?

    I have used the Littman Classic SE II throughout nursing school and it has worked well for me. In the beginning, I hoped to just use the cheap one the school handed out and buy a nice one for...
  14. RN school and working ...?s

    If I were you I would talk to your schools of interest to see what their class schedules are like (make sure to ask about nursing class schedules specifically, as they are usually less flexible.)...
  15. RN school and working ...?s

    I can't comment on those specific schools, but I can talk a bit about the working stuff. If the days and hours for those 15 days a month are flexible, it could be doable to work and do school. If the...
