    j0yegan posted a topic in General Nursing

  5. Quitting while on maternity leave

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

  7. Quitting while on maternity leave

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

    They never mentioned PTOs at all when I was filing a claim for short-term disability. I don't see why that would have anything to do with anything. They are separate payouts. It's not like I would use...

  10. Do you get really nervous before a shift?

    j0yegan posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I've worked for several years and STILL get extremely nervous right before I start a shift. My heart rate shoots up (like 110-120 bpm) and I have to go to the restroom. It's a total "fear of the...

  11. How many steps do you take a shift?

    j0yegan posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm just genuinely curious. I have a pedometer app, and I noticed it says I take 9,000-10,000 steps per 12-hour shift. Am I working too hard?

  16. Well Baby Nursery: Nurse-to-Patient Ratio

    j0yegan posted a topic in Pediatric

    How many babies do you get? At my hospital, we can get up to 8. And it doesn't help when the lactation consultant isn't there as much as we need them. And all the car seat challenges, circumcisions,...

  17. Do you get really nervous before a shift?

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree. Once I know more about the patients and get a better idea about what my day will be like, I feel better. It's just before I get my assignment. I get so extremely anxious. I try to talk myself...

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in Health, Stress Management
