Lunah MSN, RN

OP, then this is where you should remain for now - at the bedside, honing your RN skills. I am sure as a longtime CNA in the same facility you would do much better in the ADON role than a new grad who just walked into the place for the first time six...

I thought the same thing! LOL

Well I don't work triage (not since the ER, anyway), but I have been working from home since 2019. My tips are: have a separate workspace. Leave that workspace when you are done with work and don't return to it until it's time to work again. (I reali...

Wow. That is... weird.

Are you saying that you have not reported this to the board yet? I think these are typically case by case, and it's just going to depend on your BON and situation. I think you might want to check with your school because there could be issues with wh...

I am so sorry for your loss. I have heard that NSAIDs can cause false positives on urine drug screens, but I am not sure about oral swabs. But I would advise you to read your student handbook as it might have information on what to expect for next st...

Don't forget to see if your employer provides tuition reimbursement, and what the stipulations are for using it. Some schools also provide discounts for nurses employed at certain facilities or healthcare systems, too. Good luck!!

What is Military Nursing? Military nurses care for those who serve, or those who have served, while in an active duty, reserve, or national guard capacity. In this article, we are primarily considering RNs. The only branch of the military that ut...

You must have some degree as you are a commissioned officer. What is your degree in? You cannot "switch out" if you are not a nurse - you can only branch transfer (potentially, and based on recruiting mission) if you are an RN with a BSN. Nursing sch...

I think I did, but that was like 15 years ago, LOL. But I taught in this program as well, and I had students who went on vacation. I would recommend reaching out to your professor, but I am pretty sure the policy remains that assignments and posts ca...

If I recall correctly, this has to be coordinated through the GBON. Have you contacted them?

My escape country is New Zealand. 😊 Or Spain, I can actually become a citizen due to my heritage - I just have to learn Spanish. Haha. We somehow keep ending up in states so red they are maroon! The next move in 2025 will be our choice instead of dir...

You're not wrong. Back in the 90s when I was very active in the pagan community, there were some folks we called "fundamentapagans." They were so over the top!

Possibly. And if the in-utero death wasn't apparent until heading for an emergent c-section, those are often done under general anesthesia. This whole thing is just heartbreaking.

The hospital claims that the baby died in utero before the decapitation. The whole thing is just so horrific. 😞 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/doctors-weigh-georgia-couples-baby-decapitation-rcna99869

It's a military ED. Whole 'nother ball of wax. You don't even have to see people who aren't beneficiaries after those patients receive an MSE, you can just show them the door if they don't have TRICARE. A lot of bases are closed (after a fashion) and...

I hated it when we sent people home due to low census. My philosophy was always to staff at a certain minimum and just accept it if things got "q word" for a bit. Because sending people home early always brings the pain.

I have seen this more commonly recently in the work-from-home/remote job realm. People get ghosted on interviews and jobs as well. Very unprofessional and weird.

What about a medspa-type setting? I am trying to think of places that don't accept insurance, period. Places that are out of pocket. Maybe those places that do B12 injections and vitamin infusions?

Bill, I gotta disagree. Knowing you and your background, I highly doubt you would have made the series of catastrophic choices that she did.

Transfers can only be made while on active duty or in certain types of reserve positions. If he's been out/separated for a while, he cannot transfer his GI Bill. https://www.VA.gov/education/transfer-post-9-11-gi-bill-benefits/

Well as of now, it's still revoked. I haven't seen many updates in the news.

Hi Ashley! Congrats on the job. These roles are highly specific to the organization where you are performing the work, so I don't have any specific recommendations. However, I will say that using Microsoft OneNote has been a huge advantage in my year...

Your alarm goes off at 6:45 am. You groggily reach for your glasses, roll out of bed, and go to the kitchen to get the coffee brewing. Shortly before 7 am you open your office door and 30 seconds later, you are logged in and beginning to chip away at...
