    CNE.. To take or Not to take?

    Lunah replied to Seattle WA's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have to agree with meanmaryjean, the CNE was difficult because it was so ... nonclinical. LOL. I have CEN, CPEN, and TCRN board certs, and the CNE was so different. I did pass on the first attempt,...

    Contested a Doctor's Order Psych ?

    Lunah replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, all day long. When given properly as far as scheduling and dose, NSAIDs and acetaminophen are very effective for many kinds of pain. That was the first thing that our trauma docs did for our...

    What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    Lunah replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I met my husband at work in an ER. He wasn't a doctor then, but he is now. We no longer work in the same place, though. I have seen workplace relationships work and I have seen them fail. Totally...

    How much do you owe in student loans?

    Lunah replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Zero, nada, zilch. Four nursing-related degrees (ASN, BSN, MSN x 2). Do not put yourself into a hole you can't get out of, it's not worth

    Anyone with juvenile felonies get their license in the state of Florida?

    Lunah replied to wako227's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The only reliable source is the board of nursing. Boards usually take these case by case, so it's unlikely they could even tell you now if you aren't applying for licensure. Yes, basically a crap...

    Where are my work-at-home homies?

    Lunah posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am going to be starting a full-time, work-at-home nursing position in a couple of weeks. It's not case management so I didn't post in that forum, and we don't exactly have a WAH forum either. So...

    Dirty Needle Stick

    Lunah replied to NYCNative21's topic in General Nursing

    It's an exposure because it's a sharp you used on someone, but definitely not much of an exposure at all. If you can, look into Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefits with your employer so you can...

    Your exposure was minimal, the patient was negative. I think your risk is relatively low. Honestly one of the Heps is probably more likely than HIV! I think you will be fine. Hang in

    Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

    Lunah replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Scrubs are my yoga pants. ? I typically wear scrub pants and a t-shirt while working, and I work from home. If people want to think I am contaminated, great! They can stay further away from
