1. Corizon--Long hiring process?

   WYDiceDancer replied to Daisy30875's topic in Correctional

   I,too, work for Corizon in Wyoming and part of the delay from the state. In addition to checking your background for Corizon, you also have to pass a state background check for security clearance. Some state agencies are not as efficiant as we would ...

3. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

   WYDiceDancer replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   How nice for you that this works. Unfortunatly, most of the patients that came into my hospital (before I went back to corrections) were full of entitlement. There is nothing like worrying about "customer service" when the "customers" are drunks and ...

4. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

   WYDiceDancer replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   Love those "concerned" family members. The best part of correctional nursing is no call lights and ALMOST no families!!! "Calling the Governor" is my favorite, like the Governor would do anything.

5. LVN to RN's give me some advice!

   WYDiceDancer replied to David Offenbaker's topic in LPN-RN

   You worry to much. I worked in primarily LTC/AL for better than 10 years when I went back to the hospital via an agency and they usually asked for me over several other RN's. Since you are in school, you will be refining your skills, not letting the...

6. LPN to RN 1+1 program doesn't exist for experienced LPN's

   WYDiceDancer replied to Roozeyk's topic in LPN-RN

   Hey, congrats on finding it in you to go back for that old "RN" after so many years. I was an LPN for 16 years when I took the NCLEX for the second time (first time was paper and pencil so the whole computer thing kinda freaked me out). I went to Lar...

7. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

   WYDiceDancer replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

   hey, canuckstudent, this thread is for ranting and venting so we don't say these things to docs and disrepect them to their faces. without places like this, the nursing profession would soon be refered to like the post office, as in "going postal". l...

8. What I wish I had known...

   WYDiceDancer replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   about nursing school? the only thing that most of the instuctors want to hear is "yes ma'am, no ma'am, i don't know ma'am and i'd love to learn that from you ma'am". if you find a really good, caring instructor, take them for ever course that you can...

9. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

   WYDiceDancer replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

   On the same thread, I have a friend tell the administrator (when he ATTEMPTED to write her up for an imagined infraction)"You can take that and shove it up your @$$, and maybe on the way up it will lance the hemorroid that is keeping the blood from r...

10. Too UGLY for Nursing?

    WYDiceDancer replied to showbizrn's topic in Relations

    Some of the most shallow folks on this planet are the ones you find in a "church". Go ahead, flame away, but my experiences have been they shake your hand in the sanctuary and flip you off in the parking lot. I hope you will look into calling adult p...

11. Things you'd LOVE to tell the doc and get away with it....

    WYDiceDancer replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in General Nursing

    Remember telling the admitting nurse at the nursing home that you "don't have any standing orders"? THAT'S why you are getting the call at 0200 for Tylenol. Next time, think about it! ASK THE NURSE WHAT SHE WANTS ORDERS FOR!

12. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    WYDiceDancer replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    SO TRUE!! Years ago I had the instructor that was handing out the diplomas tell me AS SHE WAS HANDING ME MY SHEEPSKIN "We never thought you would make it through." With that hunk of paper firmly in my hand my reply to her was "And it was no thanks t...

13. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    WYDiceDancer replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Some people don't like to be in the spotlight, pure and simple. I've gone to MY graduations only because of family pressure, nothing more. When I got my LPN, pinning was during graduation, thank goodness I didn't have to go and deal with those instru...

14. What would you have said to this CNA

    WYDiceDancer replied to zofran's topic in Relations

    I've worked plenty of places that treat the CNA's like ambulatory chunks of gold and LPN's and RN's like dime a dozen pound mutts. Good luck on getting her out the door permanently. She's toxic and to much time around toxins will REALLY make you sick...

15. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    WYDiceDancer replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Students

    Another female here to agree with the "to much drama" aspects of both nursing school AND nursing. Just be aware, that as long as you continue to be in a human business (vs building computers or snaking drains) you will have LOTS of drama. A suggesti...
