  1. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    I don't mean to offend you, but this does sound like it's ALL about you. Needle sticks/blood splashes/exposure to disease can occur in any setting, not just the ED or OR. Sometimes they cannot be avoided, but we are taught to protect ourselves the b...

  4. moving help please

    Contact the nurse aide registry in your home state (It's located at the Dept. of Public Health) and request an Application for Enrollment By Reciprocity. This means that you are asking the new state to recognize the approval you received from your ho...
  5. Ticked off and ready to quit job!

    They had no business putting you in a float position with only three days orientation no less. Float is usually reserved for employees with prior experience. I would resign as well. Staying isn't going to make the situation any better. You'd most lik...
  6. Ltac

    That's quite a list Eileen! Glad you found some of the information you needed. Very nicely put together website by the way.
  7. Ltac

    I've PM'd you.
  8. Could use some input

    If the state is against you administering medications then I do not see the issue here. You cannot be made to administer meds if you were not trained in that capacity, and it's unfair for the chief to even suggest it. I am confused on one issue thou...
  9. Interview

    I never wear a skirt to an interview. I wear a dark, navy blue or charcoal gray pant suit, white cotton or silk top and low heeled shoes. When in doubt call the human resources department and ask what the company's dress code is.
  10. How the Battle Axe is Born

    I agree grouchy. It sort of makes me wonder why people like that even consider nursing as a career. One of my girlfriends was hired at a LTC facility about a week after receiving her license. She said the nurses were extremely nasty towards her and ...
  11. RN education

    Who in the world told you that anyone can take the nclex? Another urban legend Why people make up such rumors is beyond me, but I can guarantee you that no one is allowed to take the nclex without the proper education, and proof of it no less.
  12. Nurses in Other Professions

    Two of my former classmates have already left nursing and it's only been 16 months since we graduated. One didn't even bother to renew her license, but I didn't ask why.
  13. the cnas have taken over!!

    A similar situation happened at a facility I worked in as an 11-7 aide. The aides pretty much had the run of the place. The only nurse who stood up to them was the one that I worked with. In return she was threatened and all four of her tires were sl...
  14. Scrubs

    We're allowed to wear any color scrubs we like. I have 16 scrub tops (solids and prints) and 14 scrub bottoms so I can mix and match. They take up almost half of my closet space, but I'm always seeing scrubs that I like so I keep adding to the collec...
  15. Disappointing Career

    Certain people need to build themselves up by putting others down. It's their own insecurities that fuel them. It's time to stop being hurt by these people and their vicious rumors. Don't be a victim for them anymore. You're letting them ruin somethi...
