    traumanightsRN replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know anything about the program but my suggestion would be to go to their website and contact the person in charge of the program. They will be the best source of

  4. Questioning this order???

    traumanightsRN replied to garnetgirl29's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They are really only supposed to have a DAILY bowel movement so no reason for him to have multiple BMs a day and definitely no reason for him to ask you to stimulate his rectum AFTER a

  5. Travel contract in home state?

  7. Nurse Corps Loan repayment 2015

    traumanightsRN replied to rossin83's topic in General Nursing

  10. Decisions. Decisons...

    traumanightsRN replied to Tj1120's topic in Critical Care

    If you want more autonomy and more practice experience why not try transferring to a pediatric icu? You'd be able to do more of those things you saw in the adult icu but still work with

  11. Burn/Trauma ICU vs SICU

    traumanightsRN replied to yaaserwaa's topic in Critical Care

    I currently work in a Surgery Trauma ICU at a Level I Trauma Center. Choosing which unit you want to work in depends on what interests you. I love trauma but the surgical patients I see have a lot if...

  12. OPTI-REST

    traumanightsRN replied to ECMO's topic in Critical Care

    We use these beds at my facility. I only use it if my patient is unable to shift their weight themselves, i.e. they are sedated or really busted up. Just make sure you have a current weight in the bed...

  14. Copying MARs

    traumanightsRN replied to TattedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    It does not matter if this man is the guardian of a patient there. That does not mean he can view the patient's medical record whenever he wants. If he wants to view the medical record he must call...

    traumanightsRN replied to nurs1ng's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    traumanightsRN replied to rossin83's topic in General Nursing

    I had this for 3 years, finished my commitment in 2013. People heard from July all the way until the end of September when I was given the award. I did not hear anything until the last weekday in...

  17. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    traumanightsRN replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    To give you a short answer, if I could do it all over again this is how I would proceed: I would get my associate's degree in nursing (ADN), get a job at a hospital, then go back for my BSN with my...

    traumanightsRN replied to coopman712's topic in Nursing Career

  20. Resource Recommendation - new in ICU

    traumanightsRN replied to ItDepends's topic in Critical Care

    I think a CCRN book might be a little over your head at the moment since this is the first time you have worked in critical care. Does the ICU not have an orientation handbook they give to their new...

  21. Working while getting my NP

    traumanightsRN replied to newbiepnp's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It really depends on your school, how your program is set up, and what program you are doing (ACNP, FNP, etc). I am in FNP school right now (started Aug 2014) and I still work full time (36h/wk)...

  22. In a dilemma and need advice

    traumanightsRN replied to ddaviddudley's topic in Emergency

    Hey buddy I empathize with you. I work at a teaching hospital and they pay the lowest of all the surrounding hospitals but I love my unit and my hospital, plus we have great benefits so it evens out....

  23. Compression socks

    traumanightsRN replied to shenanigans_RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    First thing I would say is do not wear running shoes. They are very light (meaning THIN). They are not for continuous walking especially for 12 hours. Walking shoes have more cushion but many of them...
