   PCT's, CNA's, CST's, Ancillary staff....whatever you call them, are the backbone of the floor. Hands down.

   Hi ALL!! OK, I'm not an idiot but I am a new RN and I currently, still, working in a nursing home. I was a CNA for about 8 years in LTC, Home health and also acute care. At my work place, we (nurses) do our own treatments daily and since I have bee...

4. New DON is Unprofessional

   nurserin replied to skittlebear's topic in Professionalism

   Doesn't your facility have a "corporate compliance hot line"? Mine does, it's an 800 number and completely anonymous. My DON is unprofessional and annoying, as with all of the "higher ups".

   I have a similar situation, except one of my co-workers/former nursing schoolmate, and former friend on Facebook, had been printing out my and a few other co-workers facebook status' and showing them to the DON. For example, on my birthday/Christmas...

6. Dear preceptor

   nurserin replied to Ivanna_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   nurserin replied to kenyohunt1's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks so much...I have always been negative about test taking...that way I don't set myself up...I work in a nursing home now as a LPN, you don't get much experience. Plus, I had 85 questions for the PN boards, guess I was hoping the same for the R...

    nurserin replied to kenyohunt1's topic in NCLEX

    I cannot study. I am the type of person who will study just to make themselves feel better. I will look at the words/sentences/questions and won't retain anything unless it is interesting to me! I'd rather say I didn't study and explain my reasons...
