1. Nursing School Question??

   Lisamrod replied to jennyej's topic in General Students

   There's a big wait around here too. I had to take all my all other courses then wait a year before getting into the RN program. Good luck!

2. Help! Need Advise - Lpn V. Rn?

   Lisamrod replied to nrs2bme's topic in LPN-RN

   I'm from NY, so things may be a little different. Once you get your LPN you should be able to work and also go to school for your RN- I got my LPN first. I would recommend going on for your RN because it seems to me that LPNs do just as much work, bu...

3. Nursing student seeks help from experienced nurses: NP or MD?

   I'm an RN and, when my children get older, I would like to go back to school. So I asked a MD and a PA that work in our office, "Which profession would you recommend?" The MD said medical school had left her with so many bills that her $90K pay didn'...

   It's probably a good idea to have your own. It's not that expensive.

7. How do YOU keep sane?

   Lisamrod replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

   To stay sane I try to find the positive side to things... and laughter! Of course there's always the occasionally "vent" to a friend or that one patient that you pray for a shed a tear for.

8. Refills

   Lisamrod replied to Vailgang's topic in Ambulatory

   In our office the receptionist takes the call and puts it in "callbacks" , a file in our computer. The pt is told that the nurse will look at the messages at the end of the day before she goes home. If it is any emergency, (I've been out of my brea...

9. Pharmaceutical Reps

   Lisamrod replied to sbaldr's topic in Ambulatory

   Back to the drug reps..... I personally love to see the reps coming. There are so many patients with no coverage for meds on fixed incomes. Samples can at least reduce their out of pocket expenses and increase compliance. I hate to hear a pt say that...
