Hi Everyone! On February the 6th, we are launching the new Nursing Student Newsletter. The Nurse-zine Newsletter will now focus strictly on nurses. While the Nursing Student Newsletter will emphasize content for nursing students and their struggles.
Anybody else feel like you're just not as caring and compassionate as other nurses? I think of myself as a caring nurse and I try to do the best I can by my patients. I love it when I leave at the end of a shift and I feel like everything was done well and my patients were well taken care of. However, I've been in some situations where I don't seem to be as sensitive as some of my coworkers when dealing with patients...
Maybe its just the area I work in but I am seeing a trend in nurses that dont want to provide patient care. I'm not talking about nurses that don't want to fluff pillows or serve meal trays. I mean nurses that want to sit around at a desk or in an office and push papers. You can't make them understand the importance of assessing a patient, notifying a doctor of a problem or providing an intervention themselves. I frequently get "why can't so-in-so do it" Really?
I just need some help understanding how things play out with hipaa. I'm a new grad and new hire. How do the hipaa policies differ or do they from urgent care walk ins, ER, main campus hospitals?
I recently had a coworker complaining about how the patients never come up with central lines when they are septic. Seriously? How do you expect the ER nurse to do that when she's got to get Blood/Urine cultures, put in IV lines, get ABT stat going on this patient, and probably start a pressor quickly so she can get em up to us? While managing at least 3 other patients?
Retinal cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be safely transplanted into people and may improve vision in patients with diseases such as macular degeneration, according to a study published online Jan. 23 in The Lancet.
I have seen many questions posted about the recruiting, the military, and future military experiences, I wanted to start a Q & A forum where you can ask questions related to the military from someone who is in the military. (Note: I am not a recruiter. I am fellow nurse who wants to inform others so they will be more informed than I was when I joined.)
I'm reading a lot of posts about how it may be a bad move for a New Grad RN to start their career in Dialysis because it is very specialized. However, there seem to be more "New Grad Dialysis RN Training Program" opportunities available and it sounds like a great program to gain some experience. If anyone has been through, or is going through this New Grad Dialysis program, can you please share your experience?
I currently make 84k/yr working a 45hr work M-F in the south, 3 weeks vacation, 8% 401k, this is in Occupational Health. I want to continue my education and work towards a FNP (currently BSN) but the two woman I know who are FNP's one makes 80k and the other says "Close to 90K" both have worse benefits than I do...
