    How long did you stay at your 1st job?

    PediLove2147 replied to 01dayatatime's topic in Nursing Career

    My first RN job was in pedi home health. I was full time for 14 months. I got a new job but still do a shift now and then to help out when a nurse on my old case needs a day

    Pay discrepancies? Security makes more then ER tech?

    PediLove2147 replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Why is security a "lesser" title? It is completely different. I guess I don't understand why you care what security makes. If a fellow tech was making more than you and had the same experience I could...

    IVP vs IVPB

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I was curious and began reading old threads about narcotics being given IVP vs IVPB. I thought I would get some input on my particular situation. I just started on a surgical unit and a lot of our...

    IVP vs IVPB

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    It is not a peds unit. It is not specified ever whether it should be IVP or IVPB but if you look on the pharmacy website it states you can either give it IVP over whatever minutes or IVPB in NS or...

    IVP vs IVPB

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    We do have a pharmacy website and I am quite familiar with it. The website gives you how you CAN give it, not how you SHOULD. To be honest I didn't even think there was a problem with leaving the med...

    Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    PediLove2147 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay this isn't something people say but write, especially on here. It drives me crazy and I need to share. ADVICE vs ADVISE "I could really use everyone's advise"

    Failed Med/Surg by 3/10 point

    PediLove2147 replied to Ciale's topic in General Students

    My friend failed med-surg by a few points as well. It was devastating at first but then she rearranged her schedule, took the class again, and graduated on time. Don't let this stop you, if you want...

    Pediatric Tracheostomy

    PediLove2147 replied to katnursey's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    That happened to my kiddo too, randomly there would be air in his balloon. It never really concerned any of the nurses (or this parents) so I guess I never really thought anything of it. No idea why...

    This made its way around my Facebook. Very nice answer though.

    Wet-to-Dry Dressing

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    What is (if there is) the difference between a wet-to-dry dressing and a wet-to-moist dressing. I read up on both but they have the same/very similar description.

    Standard Hospital Scrubs National Standard?

    PediLove2147 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I can complain because I don't work in the office setting. I chose not to. I HATE business attire and while I didn't go into nursing so I could wear scrubs it is a part of the job I rather enjoy....

    Are 12 hour shifts going extinct?

    PediLove2147 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at has both 12s and 8s and I haven't heard anything about the 12s being eliminated. In addition, a hospital I interviewed at had no 8 hour shifts. You worked 7a-7p or 7p-7a. It...

    Night shift, CNAs and homework

    PediLove2147 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    People know what happens on the unit they work on, no others. I was a great CNA (I won't be modest here) and if there was work to be done I was doing it but sometimes there was NO work. All patients...

    Night shift, CNAs and homework

    PediLove2147 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    I used to do homework when I worked nights. Usually 12a-4a was quiet on the floor so I would get some studying in. None of the nurses minded. If they needed me, they knew where I was. If they are not...

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got a new job last week which I am very excited about. I told my agency yesterday and they were really happy for me. Said I was a definite re-hire if I wanted to return. I gave three and a half...

    "6 months notice is customary"

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke with the agency today and my supervisor was extremely apologetic that I had to endure such abuse. She was very happy with the 3 1/2 weeks, said it was more than what they usually are given. I...

    "6 months notice is customary"

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    I told the agency that I wanted to be the ones to tell them. I think they would have flipped even more if I hadn't been the one to tell them. I am not sure if it's with every agency but with mine they...
