1. What advice would you give me?

   MamuhmiaRN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I applaud you for having a goal. But have you looked into job prospects and salary for an LPN in your area? Would the investment into this program be equal to what you would earn and how long it would take to repay any loans you would have to take ou...

2. hourly rounding

   MamuhmiaRN replied to iwashere's topic in General Nursing

   MamuhmiaRN replied to tokmom's topic in New Nurse

   About 2 1/2 weeks of classes on policies and procedures, and then 6 weeks floating in 3 different units, and then 4 weeks on my home base floor. I really feel like they try to set us up for success in my hospital. Reading some of the other stories on...

8. General Rant.

   MamuhmiaRN replied to delabeaux's topic in General Nursing

   Wooh, thank you for your post. As a new grad, it's nice to get some perspective of what veteran nurses may be wanting to observe from newbies. My skills may come along slowly but surely, but I really love knowing why I am doing the things for a patie...
