  1. Scary Nurses

    I can tell you I am not exaggerating. While I was in "orientation" for this role I am far from a newbie nurse. I have worked night shift for some time and can understand the need to take a quick nap, run stairs, etc. This behavior is clearly beyond t...
  2. Scary Nurses

    I am at a loss. Why do we continue to allow scary nurses to continue to practice? Why do employers continue to keep these nurses around? The nurse "training" me right now sleeps for several hours during the shift. He also leaves the floor to go "food...
  3. Indiana Board of Nursing Question

    I wouldn't panic yet. Call Monday and see what they can do to help. I am sure there is proof somewhere, it just has to be found. Ivy Tech typically requires proof. Maybe contact them to see if they still have your documentation on file?
  4. Current Ivy tech LPN to RN transition students

    It isn't typically offered in the summer at SB, but due to so many failing there is a rumor it might be offered for certain students. Don't let that worry you though. They are changing instructors around (or at least that's the rumor too). Good luck!
  5. When to apply?

    Thank you. I was just so surprised to hear that so many were applying so early.
  6. Yacker Tracker in the NICU ???

    So did they account for alarms, crying families, or crying babies? NICU's tend to be quiet on the staff front. It's thing out of your control that makes them "noisy". Hopefully this passes soon.
  7. I'd stay in the job you love. Nursing is not for everyone and takes A LOT of sacrifice.
  8. Current Ivy tech LPN to RN transition students

    3 semesters. Summer, Fall, and Spring. At least at the SB location.
  9. When to apply?

    I have been an LPN for 11 years. I am graduating from an ASN program this May. It's a mix of traditional and transition students like myself. My question is when do you guys think I should apply? If I apply now I feel like HR might get irritated for ...
  10. I GOT IN!

    Congrats! You are about to embark on the most exhausting/frustrating/expensive/and time consuming adventure. Hopefully you are one of those who graduate and pass NCLEX. Get as many of your affairs in order now as you can because life will be busy onc...
  11. Smoking Nurses

    I think nurses are no different than the rest of the population. Everyone knows how awful smoking is for you. Everyone knows it can lead to lung cancer. Sure nurses may have a more in depth knowledge, but so do other healthcare providers like MD's an...
  12. TB test looks positive, i begin ob rotation in 2 days

    We can't offer medical advice per TOS, but I will say make sure that it is a true positive. There are a lot of people who have no idea what a true positive test looks like. Just because it is red/raised that does not always mean a positive result. Ce...
  13. Given the boot 2 weeks before graduation

    This is fairly common with nursing programs in general. My LPN program 10 years ago required I passed a similar test to officially graduate. My current ADN program also has requirements about passing tests before graduation.
  14. If you have a family to support why did you wait 5 years to take NCLEX? I'm not sure what states if any will allow you to take your boards at this point. I would start cold calling boards of nursing/emailing them to ask. I wouldn't trust something so...
  15. Indiana State University - FNP

    Sorry I don't know anything about that program. I would contact the school and see if they can give you the contact info of current and previous grads. I would also ask to speak with the Dean about the program as a whole if you are unsure.
