    What is night shift actually like?

    Lunah replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    Just flip am with pm or vice versa, that's what you'll be doing. It's like dayshift except dark outside with marginally fewer visits from physicians and PT/OT/SLP.

    International Graduate BSN-DNP question?

    Lunah replied to Gill88's topic in General Nursing

    A BSN-to-DNP typically requires a BSN that is accredited by CCNE or ACEN. You would probably have an easier time applying to BSN programs first and having them evaluate your non-US BSN education for...

    New job and asking for time off

    Lunah replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    The last interview I had, they asked if I had any vacation plans in the upcoming year. I would actually tell them during the interview if they don't ask. It's kind of a good filter for you to find an...

    What should I have done differently? Did I endanger my patient?

    Lunah replied to misha's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who developed PPCM, I appreciate you spreading this word! ? A lot of peripartum issues are dismissed as something else, or blown off. But I don't think the OP works in OB or L&D, and...

    I think you are looking for the form on this page: https://nursing.ohio.gov/forms-publications/forms/ Look where it says Form A - Verification of Licensure. Hope that helps! By the way, you cannot...

    Is this weird? New employee occupational health.

    Lunah replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, when I went to work for the Army as a civilian nurse. We won't even talk about the Army Nurse Corps commissioning physical! They know you better than you know yourself by the end of that one,...

    What should I have done differently? Did I endanger my patient?

    Lunah replied to misha's topic in General Nursing

    I have discharged people from the ER with blood pressures like that. Treat the patient, not the number. I was also surprised by the other post about rapid responses at 160/110. Really? Is it specific...

    Working for military with foreign degree

    Lunah replied to Ellemental's topic in Government, Military

    I believe the military requires your BSN to be CCNE or ACEN accredited, so yes — look into an RN-to-BSN

    Sitter to escort patient during smoke breaks.

    Lunah replied to cna1234's topic in General Nursing

    If this was a resident, it should be brought to the attention of the attending. If this was an attending, it should be brought to the attention of the department chief or CMO. This is a gross waste of...

    How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    Lunah replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    My two-year-old knows her alphabet, can count from 1 to 20 and backwards from 10 to 1, and she talks in complete sentences. I realize your patient can't talk, but that certainly does not mean she...

    Am I too stupid to be a nurse?

    Lunah replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing
