    "6 months notice is customary"

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I know not to take it personally. Maybe I am too sensitive for nursing. My agency told me yesterday when I gave my notice that when parents get upset it's a "backhanded compliment"...

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in Private Duty

    I got the call today. My patient, who I have been with for the past year passed away last night. She went into the hospital for lethargy and it was found that she had a subdural hematoma. She was...

    My patient died :(

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in Private Duty

    Just as an update. It doesn't look like there is going to be a lawsuit. Even if there was there was nothing I did that would make me stand out. They are having a public memorial service on Friday...

    PediLove2147 replied to nulife4good's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone, I thought that was a great answer :) I actually was just in a similar position. I have a year of experience in pediatrics (private duty) and was interviewing for a position on...

    Am I Marketable? At All?

    PediLove2147 replied to luvtonurse's topic in General Nursing

    Volunteer if you can and keep applying for nursing assistant jobs. It is not too late. I was hired my senior year in November! The job market is terrible but there are jobs out there. Apply, apply,...

    New grads in per diem pool

    PediLove2147 replied to Corey Narry's topic in General Nursing

    Are the new grads at least full time during orientation? I don't like the idea of hospitals hiring for per diem to get out of offering benefits but at the same time at least they are hiring! I...

    Need a volunteer position.

    PediLove2147 replied to Jacen Solo's topic in General Nursing

    Same advice as the other two posters. Very easy process but I wonder why you want to volunteer and not work as a nurse. You won't gain any skills during volunteering (I know from personal experience)....

    Post-its everywhere!

    PediLove2147 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Private Duty

    HAHA! This reminds me of my case. There are post-its everywhere! They are written by nurses though. I tried getting everyone to write (what they would write on the post-it) in a notebook which lasted...

    Graduation...Go or No?

    PediLove2147 replied to made's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of girls in my program didn't attend graduation. Most of them had a previous degree though so they already did the graduation thing and didn't feel like they needed to do it again. Go to pinning...

    My reference still hasn't done the survey and I still haven't heard anything regarding the job. I am not freaking out YET though. She said end of the week!

    1+ year of experience and can't find a new job??

    Have you considered any of the units at your current facility? It's always easier to internally transfer. Good luck, I know it can be

    AM daily weights - Standing scale vs. Bedscale

    PediLove2147 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA I worked a lot of nights. The worst part was waking the patients up at 5-6AM to weight them. Our beds had the ability to take weights but we were told to always get a standing weight....

    PediLove2147 replied to AnnaN5's topic in General Nursing

    This past weekend my father was in the ER. No one knew what had happened just that he was being transferred to the larger hospital in our state. Since he wasn't answering his cell phone I called the...
