  1. Murphy's Laws of Nursing | Life of a Nurse

    Shocks me how many patients dont have reliable friends and family to stay with them, especially when they are bent out of shape a million different ways. Also, hate calling it a "call bell" makes me feel like a maid or farm animal lol
  2. Can a LVN be a charge nurse

    I'm an RN working in a peds clinic right now and I'm only making $25 an hour which is the highest offered pay there. Their range is $20-$25 and I come with ten years of experience. The hospital I'll be working for when it opens next year is only goin...
  3. LPN's aren't Real Nurses? (Whaa...)

    I was an LPN for 4 years before becoming an RN and before i went back to school i worked in a clinic. I seriously got SO fed up with the MDs asking me to "ask a nurse" to do something. How freaking rude-I WAS A NURSE. Was then, am now. Proud to say t...
  4. RN who graduated from Concorde Career College

    So I would say do Emily Griffith or something like that for LPN. You could work 3 12's, certainly, but not at a hospital. I don't know of any hospitals in Colorado who still have LPNs. I went on to get my BSN and I now have my MSN underway. I have be...
  5. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    I think I might have ya beat...we have one surgeon who is a notorious ******* who works at my hospital and constantly complains about the hospital. Per his request, the nurses are to round with him in the morning for continuity. The first time I ever...
  6. Grand Canyon University RN-BSN

    it's going well! I am in the final week of my third course, there are two assignments and three DQs which I am finding challenging to get done, but overall it is going ok! After this class ends I will have 8 to go.
  7. 2015 allnurses Salary Survey Results

    Denver, Colorado New grad ADN RN Dermatology Clinic 5 years as LPN 24/hour no weekends or holidays
  8. Rn-bsn new grad.pay per hour 2016

    I'd say that'd be more than competitive where I live in Denver, Colorado. New grads are getting $21-23/hr and our state is packed, cost of living has sky rocketed. My sister who has been a Med Surg RN for 4 years makes the same $27 base at the hospit...
  9. Hiring situation for new BSN grads, out of state.

    I've spoken to several travel nurses in NYC and have been told that the bar is set VERY high. From what I've heard, just getting a license to transfer takes a very long time, and the hospitals are really particular about candidates. Good luck though,...
  10. Grand Canyon University RN-BSN

    Hi!! It's seeming alive! At the very least I'm here and I'm just a couple of classes ahead of you. I got a 99% in my first course and so far have 99% in the second, so I hope I can keep it up! Don't be nervous :)
  11. Shift work and dating

    Met my current boyfriend (dating a year and four months now) on OkCupid and he is such a catch! Handsome, gentleman, has a degree and career in IT...our schedules are crazy and we wouldn't have met otherwise.
  12. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    totally agree with this statement.
  13. Grand Canyon University RN-BSN

    Thank you! Hopefully so.
  14. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    Where I live (Denver, Colorado) the nursing market is so heavily saturated that it is more than just a struggle for new grads. I started as an LPN five years ago and went into the clinic setting because the hospitals here haven't hired LPNs for a ver...
  15. Grand Canyon University RN-BSN

    I am at the end of my first course at GCU and other than the CLC project it has been smooth sailing. I typically try to hammer out all of my assignments and DQs as soon as I am provided with the syllabus so that way I don't find myself procrastinatin...
