  1. Could I teach clinical at a hospital?

    LilyRN99 replied to LilyRN99's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That sounds like something I could do. Although, I image it would be a more difficult position to get since most schools probably only have one skills lab

    LilyRN99 replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

  5. I can't get a job!!

    LilyRN99 replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    You could try private duty nursing. Some people call it home health but I’m talking about a entire shift with one patient. You manage GT and trachs which I’m sure you could handle with minimal...

  10. Pulse oximetry accuracy

    LilyRN99 posted a topic in Pulmonary

    I’ve read about several things that can alter a pulse ox reading. If the apical HR is 85 and the pulse oximeter says 105, is the oximeter accurate? If it isn’t accurate, can I trust the 98%...

  11. Is asking too many questions to other nurses a problem? (new nurse)

    LilyRN99 replied to joytotheworld21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It’s good that you are asking questions rather than making mistakes. Write things down as you learn them. Do some research at home and write notes for yourself. In my experience some people adjust...

  12. Pulse oximetry accuracy

    LilyRN99 replied to LilyRN99's topic in Pulmonary

    Good point. But it would seem weird not to document a pulse ox in my nurses notes especially since every other nurses is documenting one. But what if there was an emergency? You would use your...

  16. Anyone else been turned off to academia?

    LilyRN99 replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
