    Nurse performs a nursing action off the clock. What are the repercussions?

    Lunah replied to guest1110906's topic in General Nursing

    You have a license, she has a license. Just because it is your shift does not mean you would be responsible for her actions. I would have spoken directly to the other nurse before taking any other...

    Will an LVN, RN, or BSN route open up more opportunities for working outside of bedside?

    Lunah replied to Aprilj09's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked for a job in a doctor's office or clinic? It might be a good plan to actually experience those environments first. It's easy to imagine a setting is all unicorns and rainbows, then we...

    Military nurse certification pay

    Lunah replied to guest1120787's topic in Government, Military

    I was in the Army as a 66HM5 (ER/trauma nurse), now known as 66T. I received incentive specialty pay (ISP) because I had my CEN. Your certification has to be relevant to your AOC and there is...

    Insurance Company Nurses??

    Lunah replied to NestorMedina's topic in General Nursing

    There really isn't just one job with insurance companies - they have a variety of positions and requirements, so it's hard to answer your questions. Try going to the websites for the big companies...

    Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    Lunah replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I did softball, soccer, swim team, gymnastics, and ballet, but I was also a goth chick and very nerdy! ? Love sci-fi, fantasy, etc.

    Best headbands?

    Lunah replied to 2019RNBSN2019's topic in General Nursing

    Banded2gether. Velvet backing keeps them in place, no joke; I have very thick, coorifice hair and have tried so many brands. This is my go-to, hands-down. They also feed kids with their profits. Win...

    Lunah replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Students

    It is OKAY to be disappointed! Don't feel badly about that. Our lives have been changed for something bigger and the greater good, but we don't have to like it. My husband is graduating from medical...

    Lunah replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    I had a commissioning physical that was one-on-one with an internal medicine physician. I didn't go through MEPS. I think it probably depends on how your recruiter schedules you. My recruiter was a...

    Why is the abdominal assessment different than the rest?

    Lunah replied to Dani_Sanchez777's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but she is asking why don't we just be consistent and auscultate everything first? At least that is how I read it (after re-reading,

    Why is the abdominal assessment different than the rest?

    Lunah replied to Dani_Sanchez777's topic in General Nursing

    Because palpation can then produce bowel sounds that normally wouldn't be there and alter your assessment. You really want to assess bowel sounds in their true state. Edit: Nevermind, I see your...

    Monday to Friday life... what's it like?

    Lunah replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    At first I was like, "OMG, why am I working 5 days in a row?!" and it was tiring. But I got used to it and I love having so many hours in the day remaining after work is done! It's been almost 4 years...

    I am the opposite - I had a full-time hospital job and have been teaching online part-time for 2.5 years. But now I have a full-time remote nursing position + the part-time online teaching, and it's...

    Unhappy in “coveted” outpatient job

    Lunah replied to Dani1951's topic in General Nursing

    Stop beating yourself up for not being "grateful" just because someone else might want that job. You're not someone else, you're you. If it's not for you, no harm, no foul - you were SMART and kept...

    Finishing Excelsior ADN Soon, BSN concerns

    Lunah replied to Medic6940's topic in Excelsior College

    Was there a GPA issue? I completed EC's ASN in 2008 and had no problems qualifying for every BSN program that interested me, including state schools. I think there might have been one school in...

    Finishing Excelsior ADN Soon, BSN concerns

    Lunah replied to Medic6940's topic in Excelsior College

    Excelsior is accredited. As long as you complete your ASN degree, you should be fine for pretty much any BSN program. You might have to repeat sciences if you did any of those with Excelsior without a...
