  1. Patients spitting & nurse rights

    We had a male RN who was hit from behind by a patient and this nurse whirled around and slapped this patient out of his chair. The nurse was placed on leave and the BON ended up deciding this nurse's response was a normal reflex reaction and no disci...
  2. At a Crossroads, please advise.

    I understand that, naturally, the SRNAs will be biased but I would appreciate some counsel, as I'm at a very difficult place right now, careerwise. I understand your time is valuable so I will try to be as brief as I can. I am a RN in a LTC facility ...
  3. I work in a LTC facility where the management is very nasty. The administrator has to be about the most unpopular person around. He took a garbage bag the other day and went around gathering personal belongings of staff (coats, books, etc.) and threw...
  4. Adult NP to Family NP

    I looked on monster.com and typed in "adult geriatric nurse practitioner." Down towards the end of the page was a position in Detroit.
  5. Peaceful, I just found out I've been accepted. I'm not sure what to think or do, because all I keep seeing about adult NPs is total doom and gloom. Why go through all that and then end up having to go through again to get a FNP? I'm so frustrated.
  6. Adult NP to Family NP

    Oh yuck. This is not what I want to hear right now...please don't say that.
  7. I'm nervous about the job market but I guess I can't lose that "never say give up" mindset because I feel like I should still go on with it. My mind is a blur right now. I've got to arrange financial aid, figure out how to work full time and study (a...
  8. Is this school worht it???

    Oh my, you should definitely NOT spend/go into debt for 60K, and they should be sued.
  9. Waiting to hear decision from USA Spring 2010

    We're in the same boat. I'm getting so frustrated. I called them yesterday, and it seems like they tell me something different every time. They were nice enough to look up my name (again) and tell me it says my application is still under review and t...
  10. Disgusted!

    In the South, day shift RNs can get around $23/hr, night shift goes for around $27-$28/hr (in the hospital.) LTC pays about $25/hr to start.
  11. Disgusted!

    I'm disgusted with my situation, too. I'm stuck at a job in a LTC facility and it's getting on my nerves. I've got a BSN and know I could go to a big hospital where the excitement is but it would be at the expense of doing what is best for my family;...
  12. Congratulations! Me and peaceful are anxiously waiting to see if we've been accepted into USA for Spring 2010, which program are you starting? I'm so nervous I can hardly stand it. I know there is a thread on gadgets that are helpful to have, and I b...
  13. Nursing and Lupus

    I work with a superb nurse who has lupus.
  14. I've taken 3/4 of my education (so far) on campus and the rest online, and I've noticed that the grades I made in my online courses were pretty consistent with the grades I made in the classes I took on site. I think it isn't that online programs mak...
  15. 1. The sense of camaraderie that can develop between you and your co-workers. 2. There will no doubt be at least one little old person who will steal your heart and become your pet. 3. The pleasantly confused residents are the most fun to interact wi...
