  9. New Grads in the ICU

    jennylee321 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    I feel like orientation plays a big factor in whether new grads are successful in critical care areas. Level 4 NICUs have been hiring new grads for years through children's hospital residencies....

  10. Can't find a JOB DONT EVER DO THE RPN PROGRAM IN CANADA

    jennylee321 replied to danothemano's topic in Canada

  11. RN in London, Ontario

    jennylee321 replied to lkm812's topic in Canada

  12. How to be better at teamwork (and still get your work done)

    jennylee321 replied to bbnurse17's topic in General Nursing

  13. Seasoned nurses really affecting my self esteem as a newer nurse..need to vent?

    jennylee321 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    She needs to be held to a higher standard because she's the lead nurse, it isn't like she's just a peer so this behaviour needs to be addressed. There's a lot of nurses out there who love thinking...

  14. No one to talk to about nursing... Am I crazy?

    jennylee321 replied to EdenAndEve's topic in General Nursing

  15. NICU visitation policies needed

    jennylee321 replied to anicu's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    jennylee321 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  17. Adult to NICU?

    jennylee321 replied to sammy75's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    A lot of NICUs hire a lot of new grads and then train them up using residency programs. That's not to say it's not possible, we just hired some nurses with adult nursing experience but that is because...

  18. CNM or NP as next step for a new grad?

    jennylee321 replied to BBeers7's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    jennylee321 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    jennylee321 replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    jennylee321 replied to Caroline0322's topic in PICU, Pediatric

  24. Mandatory Vaccination

    jennylee321 replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    If I couldn't get it then I would accept that I need to where a mask. It's to protect the patients. If I gave a baby influenza they could quickly become critically

  25. financial donation to a needy patient

    jennylee321 replied to bounjour's topic in General Nursing

    This is not appropriate on a professional level but beyond that any donation you gave them would be temporary and not help them long term. Social work can set them up with long term resources like...
