RschIVF40

I agree with icumaggieRN and Meriwhen. Also, if you end up writing a recommendation letter for nursing school for this relative, they may then expect assistance regarding another recommendation letter when they graduate and start looking for their f...

Sorry to get in on this conversation at the last minute. I would move forward from that situation and not get overly stressed about it, but rather utilize it as a learning situation and just NOT repeat doing this sort of thing. In the future, I wou...

Although I'm getting in on the tail-end of this convo, I've done rsch at work as well as am doing it for my PhD. You mentioned you have no research background. Conducting a research study requires quite a bit of work and can be very time-consuming a...

I agree with RunBabyRN, and the other comments regarding that fact that it may depend on your geographic location. In my experience, I've seen individuals with dreads at the MA, LVN, RN level, including management, as well as PA's & MD's. I hav...

I agree with what the other RN's have said regarding: 1) checking what the patient had previously and how they reacted to it; 2) giving the med that is the weakest / lasts longest, & 3) keeping the benzo/narc close by in the event it is re...

You might try applying for temp / volunteer work in family or internal medicine as a way to transition into this field...just a thought Best Wishes

I agree with RN403 and anh06005..I would also see about finding, perhaps, a senior RN and ask to "buddy up" / partner with that RN to get some additional on-the-job tips that this RN has learned throughout the years. Review that RN's charting may he...

The government has a website that helps entrepreneurs develop small businesses. If you go to the US small business administration, they have a "tool" to help you create a business plan, in addition to a number of resources. (click on the left hand-...

Saying lots of prayers for a speedy recovery. Best Wishes!

I agree that it is challenging asking patients so many questions. At the front desk, when the patient is registering, they are just asked, "Any changes to your current address or phone number?"...our patients are fine with this. Specific to medicati...

I agree with roser13, that Ebola does not seem to be as much of a "stigma" as HIV/AIDS was "back in the day", mainly because it doesn't seem to be transmitted by sex, although my understanding is that Ebola can be found in semen (and other body fluid...

I agree with what others have posted regarding this issue. And, not to berate you regarding the "forgetting to lock the med room", but that is a major issue, however, this certainly doesn't excuse your supervisor's behavior. That individual shoul...

I can understand your frustration. As you do have your nursing schooling background, some general ideas that come to mind include: pharmaceutical sales (if you like sales and people), health "coaching" for individuals, like in a gym or health spa ar...

I'd have to agree with Nola009 and firstinfamily.. I've had my own share of healthcare issues / pain that developed over many, many years and have learned to work through these. If nursing is your true passion, you certainly won't have to worry about...

Hi everyone...Just another reminder.....this survey is still going on and has been extended through FRIDAY, OCTOBER, 31, 2014. Thank you to all who may have already taken this survey. But for those who have not yet taken this survey... This surve...

She received approval from her boss to leave work early. She didn't feel well enough to drive, so one of her co-workers gave her a ride home. During the ride, the abdominal pain and waves of nausea continued to grow in intensity. As her co-worker cha...

I agree that this is a very tricky situation when it comes to HIPAA and caring for friends. I'm assuming that your best friend was aware before her hospitalization that you are a nursing student, as well as where you work part-time as a CNA? Maybe, m...

While I can certainly commiserate regarding the frustration of being pulled in many different directions, and the periodic lack of CNA support. I've been in the same situation many times before and I have also found that discussing these issues with...

My suggestion is that you start with your state's Department of Public Health to check their requirements regarding foot and nail care standards around this. Podiatrists are required to follow the Department of Public Health's requirements for foot...
