   kitkats4breakfs replied to 45whenimdone's topic in COVID

   Hello OP, I have been a nurse for close to 3 years. Get a note from your doctor saying your are allergic. That is all that is required. One thing you need to learn in nursing, right away, when speaking to management is never let your left hand know w...

   kitkats4breakfs replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric

   Well I can add this. My father worked in computer science since the 80's. He was a supervisor in his company and realized that the people he was "over" made way more money than he did. He quit his job and became a regular staff member. The end.

   I am in the same situation. So when I do not finish my med pass @ 3pm, the end of shift, what should I do? Can I leave with out giving all my patients blood pressure meds? Or should I expect the nurse coming on what I didn't? And I'm seriously asking...

9. NP replacing RNs in ER?

   kitkats4breakfs replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

   It does sound like a way to save money. And if it is, it's something that facilities will adopted. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm sure if this is someone's first NP job, they will quickly take it.

    LPNs are a nursing homes, bread and butter. lpn aren't going anywhere for a long time, the baby boomers are going to end up in the nursing home someday. RNs are too expensive to hire in LTC.

    Did not read your post in its entirety. I just wanted to say that I knew nursing "wasn't for me" my first semester. However my grades were really good, many of my professors liked me and I had classmates encouraging me to continue on. I stuck it, out...

13. Lateral violence. How did you handle it?

    kitkats4breakfs replied to lvan0904's topic in NP

    Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. When a confrontational person realizes that you're willing to go further than he/she is, usually they back off before things get bad. No one can do that to me at work, nor have they tried. Probably because...

15. Is it better to become a CNA or LVN before entering into a Nursing Program ?

    kitkats4breakfs replied to sovarah's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's much better going into an RN program, brand new with no prior experience. I say that because many people who were lpns in the program. They relied on past experiences or "real world/ life nursing". Nursing school is much different than working ...
