Where are all the Pediatric Nurse Bloggers?
I was wondering why we don’t have too many of these. It seems like we have bloggers for every area of nursing except pediatrics.
I used to really enjoy reading what PaedsRN has to say. Does anyone know what happened to him? I used to enjoy his blog very much and I saw that as [...]
California Nurses: What the heck is going on at UCI Med Center?
In the past 3 months, 13 nurses have been fired from UCI Medical Center. The allegations are that some have been fired for reporting med errors that didn’t actually affect any patients. Nurse Lilliam Triana was suspended for a day without pay when she began to investigate the firings. One theory is that the hospital [...]
Have You had Your Flu Shot Yet?
If this were the nurse giving out flu shots in my hospital I would definitely go running in the other direction. Quickly. Actually, I am the nurse giving flu shots this year, and many look at me as if I were an evil Zombie Nurse, arriving to inject deadly poison into their deltoid, against their [...]

Apparently the Bumbo Seats are only dangerous if you use them [...]
Welcome to Nurse Limbo
Ever since Baby Ben was born I’ve only worked about 4 shifts of actual nursing. That’s a little more than half a shift per month.
That’s not what I had planned on. I was hoping to work part-time after Ben was born, but two weeks after he was born, along came NursingLink and offered me [...]
Nurses, need a job?
Move to San Francisco and you can supervise people shooting up drugs…
City health officials took steps Thursday toward opening the nation’s first legal safe-injection room, where addicts could shoot up heroin, cocaine and other drugs under the supervision of nurses.
A Craig’s List Story
The other day I was looking for baby stuff on Craig’s List. I found a high chair and an activity center for $10 each. Too good to be true, I thought, but I had to check it out. I called the seller and asked for directions to her house, and headed out to see her [...]
