    Have you ever been looked down on because you don’t work in the hospital?

    Lunah replied to happyhippo's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure people thought I was less of a nurse when I left the ER to be a trauma educator, then left trauma for infection prevention, then left IP for a work-at-home position. Then the pandemic hit...

    Remote positions with a baby?

    Lunah replied to Nrslna's topic in General Nursing

    What about an off-hours position like phone triage? Is your spouse available on weekends so you could look for a weekends-only role? I work from home and between quality and quantity metrics, there is...

    HEDIS? Or would I be bored stupid?

    Lunah replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's tough. The first thing that came to my (not yet caffeinated) brain is that if you DO take it, it'll be for the right reasons - I.e., you want to do this, it's not that you are fleeing the...

    Has anyone renewed their CNE recently? Mine is good through December 2023, but I wanted to get started on the requirements. It seems very complicated at first glance; does anyone have any wisdom to...

    Unfairly on Not Eligible for Rehire List

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you didn't give the amount of notice as required by the facility and you called out for your last shift, being made ineligible for rehire was a matter of policy — it's not personal. But I...

    Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

    Lunah replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, but they would have to maintain their primary residence outside of California. For example, I am an EC grad living in Tennessee with a compact/multistate license. If California joins the compact,...

    Exhausted from Covid

    Lunah replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you aren't even upset about losing 130 hours of PTO, which speaks volumes about the relief you feel. You have been such a sensible mainstay here for so many years, it saddens me to see...

    Med Error

    Lunah replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    Not to belabor the point, but it was 100 times the amount, not 900 times the amount. The amount should have been 9 units, and they received 900 units (100 units per mL, 9 mL = 900 units). If they had...

    Lunah replied to khaleesi123's topic in Emergency

    I worked in several all-ages EDs and ENPC is so valuable! I would encourage you to seek out an ENPC course at some point, some states even offer grant-funded courses. I paid for my first ENPC course...
