Any other nurses (RN, LPN) on the forum?

Anyone else a nurse and would like to talk? (No HIPAA violations, /obviously/.)

I'm an acute care/ICU nurse for the major burn unit (adults, anyway!) in the Midwest. I'm a new-grad and will be going off orientation in about a month or so. (Not nervous, at all. lol.)

Any other nurses around?

No but my cousin is a nurse. She works nights and minimum 12 hour shifts.

I have so much respect for nurses. With all you see and do, you deserve so much more appreciation and recognition. Thank-you!

I'm a nurse too Hannah! I work in a pediatric clinic, that has 5 doctors working. I do phone advice one or two days a week, and then fill in for vacations, illness, etc. to work hands on with patients. So I tell parents how to get their child to stop vomiting, give 2 month olds vaccines, etc. I've been doing it for a little over 2 years now. It's nice having those hours while my youngest child is still in preschool.
