  1. RN please please please help

    RNin2007 replied to HeatherRR's topic in General Nursing

    Holy smokes - that is a long list for someone to type out to you. I bet if you asked an RN if you could have a short interview at the hospital, in a unit that isn't incredibly busy you might have...

  2. Best Underwear to wear under scrubs??

    RNin2007 replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Four butt cheeks. OMG, that was funny. I wear jockey boy short panties, black and flesh tone. They are a "no panty line guarantee" type and silky smooth - very comfy.

  3. Educate me, please!

    RNin2007 replied to Hannahrn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Is this also related to mom being Coombs Positive (ABO)? I saw this on my baby's H/P. Thank you.

  4. do people say this to you?

    RNin2007 replied to ftr_bb_catchr's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just tell em about my own 680 gram and 970 gram preemies, and how great they are doing now. I have a lot to give back in the NICU - both as a nurse and a parent who can relate. If it weren't for...

  5. I Heart the NICU.

    RNin2007 replied to RNin2007's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Jolie - thank you for your quick reply. This will help guide the 12 hours I spend there tomorrow as well as the next several weeks. I was able to complete a gestational assessment on a 35 weeker, and...

    RNin2007 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am a BSN student in my last year, and i'm doing my rotation in the NICU. I absolutely love it there and know this is where I would like to work. We have a 23 bed, level 3 unit - no surgeries there,...

  13. name badges?

    RNin2007 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh, well that makes total sense then!

  14. name badges?

    RNin2007 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah...that doesn't seem right. Somehow i'd feel leery about RNs with namebadges that didn't match or seem to belong to the company they worked for. Hmmm. JHMO. But they do sound neat.

    RNin2007 replied to MEDRQST's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work in a lockdown psych unit. The NOC shift gets an hour paid nap, AND their regularly scheduled 30 minute unpaid lunch. It's not uncommon to combine those into one nice nap. The unit I work in has...

    RNin2007 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Lost Job because of background!!

    RNin2007 replied to SeanyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, TazziRN...and as health care professionals we are taught to view addiction as a disease (look at alcoholics, who are children of alcoholics, etc.). It is sad that they can only get low paying...
