Sadly, I have to say that I, too, had horrible experiences with some of the hospital nurses during clinical rotations. I had one running away from me all day, walk away and ignore questions; by the end of the rotation I was so intimidated I was blin...

I know there is an online program at the University of California, Riverside. I don't know much else though. Illinois? Can't help you there! Try doing a google search. Good luck!

Not any more. There was a raid by 8 different law enforcement agencies making up a group called "MAGNET" and about 15 people were arrested about two weeks ago. The local paper (kingman daily miner) reported that none of them were cooking, all of th...

Agreed. I wear my shoulder length hair up and most of the time in a clip, but once in a while I do a pony since my pony is only about 6" long. I think it looks more professional to have your hair up and sets an example for the ltc wing where I work...

You may also want to consider Northern Arizona University. www.nau.edu. They have a distance FNP and I believe it is all online. Plus, they are pretty cheap. They are in Flagstaff and cater to rural northern Arizona, so the distance thing is not ...

When I was in school, I consulted a friend with 20+ years experience as an RN about stethoscopes, particularly name brand ones and she said in her experience it did not have to be Littman to be good. I have a little hearing deficit so I first purch...
I work staff at ltc and I have had from 17-34 patients. After handling 34, 17 feels like a vacation! :) But I really like having a long term relationship with my patients.

I actually bought the book online! It was pretty cheap. I thought it would come in handy...if I like it I may recommend it to my ADN program. We were not given assertiveness training. I did not fully comprehend what the nursing world was like, tha...
Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing
Thanks! That is a good idea. When something like this happened to me, I really didn't understand what was going on, I was still in school and I was unsure of myself and I got to the point I was so flustered that it was hard to do what I was supposed ...
Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing
Understood. Thanks for the input. Truth to tell I read that and my mouth just hung open. It seemed like he was hovering around denying everyone's experience. I didn't get the point. You've been a nurse for a long time, you've seen this kind of t...
Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing
OK, ouch. Well if you don't believe any of it and have never seen any of it then what would be the point of reading threads about mobbing? Just poking people with a sharp stick (verbally) and see what happens? No golf today to amuse you? (ok couldn...

Yes she will! And when she is older she will always remember the nurse that took the time to mentor her. I have had a couple of those and I am so grateful to them! It's so nice to get a hand up rather than a kick in the teeth!
Nurseynurseyme replied to WeakAnkles's topic in General Nursing
That was a great example of doing the right thing! You saw potential and looked past the immature behavior. You did this employee a huge favor but I'm sure she didn't know it. I think the mobbing thing is stuff like going after someone for persona...
