   My cell phone rang while I was at work this weekend. I was at the nurses' station surrounded by the nursing staff that I supervise as a charge nurse. Ignoring stares and silent comments that "you are the enforcer of no cell phones at work", I answere...

2. Called In to Chart After I've Quit

   99percentangel posted a topic in Career Support

   I recently gave notice and quit from a nursing home that was very difficult to work for. No DON. No ADON. No Unit Manager, and no communication. Today I got a call to come in and "chart" on a patient who has died since I left. I am no longer an empl...

   99percentangel replied to Sknurse09's topic in Michigan

   Interesting! I'm a new RN grad moving to Denver, Colorado, looking for work. Have been a LPN more than 30 years, but no one cares about THAT experience. I understand that hospitals are the first to turn away new grads, but does anyone know of othe...

5. Rets Tech Entrance Exam for LPN to RN

   99percentangel replied to LoveMyBoston08's topic in Ohio

   I believe there is great purpose and usefulness in sites like this. I have a blog I wrote as I was a student at Rets (Bohecker) but I haven't used it to blast the school. Only if you read between the lines. Because I'm a gold member, I think I can...

   Dear EXPLTCRN Thanks so much for taking time to post such an enlightening article in response to my story. I'm printing it out for when I'm the "Manager" RN and can put this to very good use where it will make a difference. Keep up the good work - an...

10. There's a Mousetrap In My Med Cart

    99percentangel posted a topic in Geriatric

    The law requires that all meds be given within one hour before or after the medicines are due, and this often creates a lot of stress for busy nurses. For instance, the 8 a.m. meds can be started at 7 a.m., and the med pass, for however many patients...

13. Rets Tech Entrance Exam for LPN to RN

    99percentangel replied to LoveMyBoston08's topic in Ohio
