    Nurse bringing child to work

    Queen Tiye replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing

    This is why it’s unfair to push new nurses into night shift and have mandatory 12s — not a friendly policy to single mothers. A field of predominantly women run by

    Webcams in Nursing Homes?

    Queen Tiye replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    I fully support webcams. In fact, I think they should be put in place by the facility, especially for children, and the cognitively impaired. These populations are very vulnerable and are at the...

    Home Health Nurse pay??

    Queen Tiye replied to Okie51's topic in Home Health

    Peds home health is different. You can have one full-time case, work part-time, or combine 2-3 cases to get full-time hours and have

    Home Health Nurse pay??

    Queen Tiye replied to Okie51's topic in Home Health

    You can go to Linked in or Glassdoor to see how much nurses are averaging at any HHA. I looked at one pediatric hha and the average RN earned

    Inpatient rehab unit

    Queen Tiye replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    If it is in a large hospital, especially a county hospital you will see trauma/ wounds, burns, diabetes, cardiopathy, traumatic brain injuries, everything. It is med surg but pain meds round the...

    Bedside Nurses: Undervalued, Poorly Retained and What Experts Say

    Queen Tiye replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    The 12 hour shift was created to staff hospitals full-time with less staff — as a solution to the nursing shortage. Not all moms want to work 12s. In fact most probably prefer eights so they can...

    DNP without a BSN?

    Queen Tiye replied to Jordanmedical's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Also, does your prospective DNP school require or strongly suggest a minimum amount of psychiatric nursing

    NCLEX-RN; Terrified

    Queen Tiye replied to briixx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations on making it to this point, it is no easy feat. Testing in the 60s in UWORLD is a good sign, but it really depends on how many questions you are averaging on your tests. Many tests...

    Is this really a cushy job?

    Queen Tiye replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have children to support and that’s my priority. For me, money is the most important thing, and practicing safely. I’m in a BSN program so I get to be a new nurse again. I’m also recovering...

    Should I become a CNA OR MA?

    Queen Tiye replied to heavwhit's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    MA is about the same length as an LVN program, pays way less, and is a saturated market. Doctors higher MAs instead of nurses because they get away with paying them dirt cheap to perform a nurses...

    Discouraged CNA

    Queen Tiye replied to A_Nurse_Assistant's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did he literally say you were doing nothing? I’ve trained many a CNA/ PCA and I almost always told them they need to step it way up. Just step it up. If he’s telling you to move faster, it’s...

    RN's who were PCAs/UAPs/Techs, did you burn out prior to becoming an RN and how is it different the change in job positions?

    Queen Tiye replied to happerhiker44's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Wow, sounds like a hectic floor. I’ve burned out several times before becoming a nurse. The floor you work on sounds like it has poor management, and non-existent team ethic because it’s so...

    Advice for a new CNA?

    Queen Tiye replied to Clover19's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Make sure you get good rest, eat well, and have a well balanced life/ a way to decompress and not think about your job, because CNA work is hard. It’s super rewarding, but it will whip you into...

    Best online/app to buy?

    Queen Tiye replied to Rionoir's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used UWORLD throughout nursing school. By the time NCLEX rolled around I was confident and didn’t have to cram. It’s a good idea to get UWORLD as soon as you can because there’s a lot of...

    Can’t pass the NCLEX

    Queen Tiye replied to Kmmamea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I’m sorry you are having a difficult time — we all want to get through NCLEX and begin our careers. ATI is a great predictor when it comes to figuring out who will likely pass the NCLEX, but I...

    I failed my patient today- Student Nurse

    Queen Tiye replied to Maria3248's topic in General Students

    I’m sorry that you are having a difficult time; nursing school and clinical scan be so stressful. Perhaps you may benefit from getting help on learning how to cope with anxiety and feelings of low...

    Got kicked out of nursing school

    Queen Tiye replied to Maddelyn's topic in General Students

    People change nursing schools all the time. School is, after all, a business and you have a good chance of getting back in if you demonstrate that you have fresh perspective, a plan for success, and...

    Can I lose my license over this?

    Queen Tiye replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t worry about it, if it comes up just deny it or tell the truth — that you were having a private conversation and she was listening in. You weren’t at work, you weren’t speaking about...

    Does anyone do private duty care anymore?

    Queen Tiye replied to Dr.J's topic in Home Health

    There are lots of people who want private duty jobs. Are you wanting a CNA? If so find a reputable agency, request an excellent CNA, pay the agency fee for about a week. If you like her, offer to...

    Anxious About Clinicals

    Queen Tiye replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    Clinicals are awesome. It’s great that you’re getting ahead of possible anxiety in order to succeed. Ninety-nine percent of my preceptors were great, the other 1% just weren’t in the teaching...

    Integrity - Should I say something

    Queen Tiye replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    Yes people have different opinions but if they are morally reprehensible or bigoted you should be disqualified from being a clinician or at the very least be up for review and coaching. If a nurse...

    Cover the bedpan with a disposable bed pad, and press the bed pad down into the pan. Make sure the patient in resting on top of a bed pad, then place the bedpan that is covered with a bed pad...
