  1. How are you paying for your MSN?

    RN007 replied to MommyandRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I need to leave my job and family and go to U Va! I have been told by my program that "there is very little money for graduate students." I am planning to attend classes part time and pay for it with...

  5. How long have you worked nights?

    RN007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate from an ADN program in May and have started job hunting. I've pretty much accepted that hospitals are going to expect me to work night shift. One hospital I'm interested in will...

  6. application shock

    RN007 replied to inthesky's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm actually taking the easy road re: preceptors. One of the reasons I'm hoping to change to an 'on-ground' psych program vs. online was for it to be easier to find preceptors and also make job...

    RN007 replied to inthesky's topic in Post Graduate Students

    inthesky, I just turned in my application for the NP program in mental health nursing at the University of Tennessee. I was in a FNP program at another school but admitted to myself that psych is what...

    RN007 replied to netgeek's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I do, too. Thank you for the confirmation.

  9. IM Injection Tips

    RN007 replied to netgeek's topic in General Nursing

    Flowerbudd, tell me how you LM the grown-up thigh. I did one once -- inner third of the outer third (if that makes sense) -- and felt for the tough meat, but didn't feel confident. It was a hep...

  10. IM Injection Tips

    RN007 replied to netgeek's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, like flowerbuddLPN, I was hoping to get some tips on finding alternate injection sites, knowing I probably won't want to give rocephin in the

  11. IM Injection Tips

    RN007 replied to netgeek's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Flu shots are just around the corner and I'm working in a new clinic now with the high likelihood of dispensing rocephin injections. I would love some pointers,

    RN007 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    RN007 replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    If you'd taken the tele job, you'd be wondering what you'd missed in the OB office. :) You are very fortunate. Enjoy your job and kids. Good

  14. Can someone please tell me exaclty what RN's do?

    RN007 replied to tamarin100's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I don't think people mean to be harsh. It's just that with nurses, you hit a nerve when you ask about bedpans and colostomy bags. Have you visited this site? http://www.discovernursing.com/ I'm a...

  15. Oh man, I need help...

    RN007 replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    Do what's best for you and your family right now. Later, when kids are older and you're all ready for a change, you shouldn't have much trouble -- if any -- finding a hospital unit to train you, if...

  17. Wife with BSN with NO drive, what to do??

    RN007 replied to Tony1790's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Tony, Just wanted to say hi and good luck. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I'm in East TN, too, working and finishing pre-reqs to get into UT's master's program. (I was at ETSU but...

  18. Medical Geripsych???

    RN007 replied to kamakasigirl's topic in Psychiatric

    You are so right, and it's that way everywhere -- hospital units, LTC. One of the nurses I work with used to be in oncology 20 yrs ago, my first job, and she said she knows there's no way she could do...

  19. Medical Geripsych???

    RN007 replied to kamakasigirl's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm not Wolfie, but my take is that the hospital unit is more for stabilization of psych patients' emergent medical issues. So often a typical med-surg floor doesn't have the knowledge for handling...

  20. Anyone work in a gero/psych unit?

    RN007 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I'm interviewing Tuesday for a night-shift position in a senior behavior unit. What sort of things should I be looking for/asking when I talk with the manager? The hospital itself has a great...

  22. Anyone work in a gero/psych unit?

    RN007 replied to RN007's topic in Psychiatric

    I've been thinking of questions and appreciate your list. You've hit the big ones for sure: teamwork and scheduling style. And no way I'd be the only RN, although I've seen it done, too. Do you work...

  23. Anyone work in a gero/psych unit?

    RN007 replied to RN007's topic in Psychiatric

    Yeah, thanks. That's good stuff there; I was part of the thread. This isn't a medical gero/psych unit, per se, more a dementia-/depression-stabilization unit, I think. I'll find out Tuesday. I guess...
