    nonnocere808 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, Quick question. I accepted an exempt nurse supervisor position but have not been provided with a job description and have been doing staff nurse work primarily. I have been working a lot of...

  2. OT

    nonnocere808 replied to nonnocere808's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all your responses. It's strange because I have been given very strict hours, am exempt, am doing a notable amount of OT, and am essentially a staff nurse due to staffing issues. I will...

  3. Employment background check

    nonnocere808 replied to HopefulRN4's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello, If I only started orientation somewhere (2 weeks) and realized it wasn't a good fit (IE never on the floor), do you think it is necessary to put it in an application? Some apps only have space...

    nonnocere808 replied to Doxie_loverRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are caring, so this might be hard to do, but one of the best pieces of advice I have received when feeling burnt out was to "try not to internalize everything." Yes, it is stressful to be...

  5. PORT TIPS

    nonnocere808 posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers for accessing a port that is not defined well through the skin. I have a patient with a port that is hard to see. It is a power port and I can not...

    nonnocere808 replied to miscangelious's topic in Medical-Surgical

  8. HIPAA and Demanding Family Members

    nonnocere808 replied to Taiin's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  13. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    nonnocere808 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You will get a job eventually. Just keep applying and all of the sudden, everyone will call you at once and you won't know what to do. Even in NYC, where there is a surplus of nurses, this is true....

  14. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    nonnocere808 replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    nonnocere808 replied to sugar12's topic in General Nursing

    nonnocere808 replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    Don't freak out. Everyone makes mistakes. The good think about making a mistake it that it is extremely unlikely you will ever make the same mistake

  18. Please help :(

    nonnocere808 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

  19. Infusion Position

    nonnocere808 replied to RNator's topic in Infusion, Intravenous
