    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Lunah replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    I get the feeling the circulating RN got her hackles up because she had already asked them once to cut the chatter. It does seem a bit excessive, though. @FrustratedExStudent, I hope you are getting...

    Schedules of Nurses and I am scared to start working as ED nurse

    Lunah replied to ScaredRN's topic in Emergency

    Scheduling is going to depend on your facility. What did they offer you? I worked nights for years, mids for years, days for a bit, but I did not switch around that often. How long is your...

    Lunah replied to JessRNBSN's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry! Don't give up, someone will want your experience and see your potential. People are always coming and going when it comes to working in the ED. If you can, reach out to the managers and...

    RNs and up - Do you really use all of the "gen-ed" course material on the job?

    Lunah replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    I am married to a 3rd-year med student. You are correct, they do not have a separate "medical terminology"

    Hit by car on foot, return to work?

    Lunah replied to Hgonzalez6948's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should really follow the advice of your care providers. What do they say about the use of your foot? Are you a nurse or a nursing student? You reference "my fellow nurses," but your profile says...

    Sen. Maureen Walsh Response to Backlash

    Lunah replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    Paramedics generally do not operate independently; they work under medical control. So yes, you would need a supervising

    University Marching Band Nurse

    Lunah replied to Nurse Velasco's topic in General Nursing

    Without medical direction, you will likely be functioning outside of your scope. You are also licensed as an RN, not certified. Paramedics are certified, but you will be held to the level of your...

    HIPPA?

    Lunah replied to hara1112's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Could nursing informatics be next career step?

    Lunah replied to SkyIsTheLimit86's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are interested in nursing informatics, I would actually look around in your area for positions before you invest in the degree. In a lot of areas, experience is more important than the MSN, so...

    RNs and up - Do you really use all of the "gen-ed" course material on the job?

    Lunah replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoy having a well-rounded education. I have had some interesting patients who are extremely educated, and it was nice to be able to keep up! lol. Parts of the "gen ed" will not always be relevant,...
