  1. Poll: do you have professional liability insurance?

    rn&run replied to SDANG's topic in General Nursing

    Yes - the renewal reminder came in the mail yesterday and I was literally just wondering "do I really need this?" Thanks for asking the question! Looks like I'll commit to another year of it

    rn&run replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Can you use frozen paper towels in plastic sandwich bags? That’s what we had when I was in elementary. Cheap and

  3. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    rn&run replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Former OR nurse here— I’ve always found that CRNAs are 100% competent to safely intubate and/or manage the sedated/anesthetized patient. Just because a higher level of training exists doesn’t...

  5. Will one year of subacute rehab help me get a med-surg position?

    rn&run replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I put in hundreds of applications for acute care positions during my last semester of nursing school and in the months after graduating. I think my resume was weaker because I didn't have any...

    rn&run replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

    I love working out, reading at least a couple books a week, and doing art projects on my days off. I go to thrift stores looking for quirky retro sewing patterns that I can make out of discounted...

  7. Is 54 too old to get hired as a new RN?

    rn&run replied to OHRN2023's topic in General Nursing

    No. Protected class, as mentioned above, same as asking "am I too black for this job? Too female? Too ex-military? Too Jewish? Too Guatemalan? You get the point. Some might discriminate against you,...

  8. Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    rn&run replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any IR experience, but I have been in the OR and I can't see how a surgeon would have been able to execute a wrong-site kidney stenting without a whole roomful of negligent people...

    rn&run replied to Flossy73's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry you have so much stress with your current job. I can relate -- it's taken me awhile to find my niche. I just wanted to wish you well, and encourage you to continue applying for something --...

  10. If you could give one piece of advice back when you were a new grad RN, what would it be?

    rn&run replied to Mursthetics's topic in General Nursing

    For myself? Stay out of the hospital! I’m a generally anxious person, and acute care stressed me out. I work as a nurse educator for a primary care practice now, and am much happier not worrying...

  11. Pre nursing student has a question for current RNs

    rn&run replied to HotSauce77's topic in General Nursing

    Contemporary nursing is a job or career just like any other work. It’s manual labor in a lot of ways. The entry level wages are comparatively good because it’s tough work... but you don’t have...

  14. What's your best 'Nurse Hack'?

    rn&run replied to KimasaurusRex's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! Some people have an easier time being new than others -- I think it really depends on your unit/specialty (how much you like it, how likable you are, and how supportive coworkers and...

  15. Circulator Presence on Induction?

    rn&run replied to Dielsh's topic in Operating Room

    I had to do some research since I'm not familiar with the role of this type of tech -- turns out it is entirely within the scope of an anesthesia tech to assist with induction, and complications...

  16. Circulator Presence on Induction?

    rn&run replied to Dielsh's topic in Operating Room

    We don't use anesthesia aides. The only reason I will not be at the bedside during induction is if the anesthesia provider dismisses me. If that is the case, I still won't leave the room until the...

  20. I have a real problem with ancillary staff and am at my wits end. I need help.

    rn&run replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    Ick, gross behavior. I second the sexual harassment complaint idea, specifically in that it is creating a hostile work environment for you, uncomfortable enough that you are struggling to do your job....

  21. New Grad RN can't find a job

    rn&run replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok, first step is a deep breath. You will get a job in nursing. I graduated in 2013 with no cna experience. Colorado is my home, so I moved to Denver, the city with the greatest hospital density. The...
