4. How My Instructor Affected My Life

   vivibonita replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

   I think that those of us who've had bad instructors should pat ourselves on the back. Nursing is tough, but trying to learn on a tougher environment created by the person who should be there to teach us is even tougher. None of us deserve this type...

   vivibonita replied to shybaby09's topic in International

   yikes! hold your horses... where are you? I'm a little confused here, and I won't be able to offer any advise. Please call the CA BRN and explain your situation... they should be able to enlighten you. Good luck.

6. I am sorry

   vivibonita replied to patrick1rn's topic in General Nursing

   I believe that sometimes saying sorry is a way to calm an agitated pt or family member, it is also our way as compasionate beings to show sympathy for what the other person is going through... most people here say they are sorry, but they also accomp...

9. Abbreviations

   vivibonita posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been reading the forum quite a lot lately... and I'm amazed at the amount of abbreviations some of us tend to use while posting a new thread or responding to one. In all honesty, I dont' know what most of them mean... and I'm a nurse!!! I can...

11. Patient Rights?

    vivibonita replied to HCINEPT's topic in Emergency

    I agree with everybody who has replied here. I must be honest and say that the title of this thread was misleading, I believe the MD gave advice, maybe not the one the pt wanted to hear but advice nonetheless. She was triaged accordingly to the rul...

12. On-Set Movie Nursing Jobs

    vivibonita replied to Hobie4's topic in General Nursing

    I've only known of movie sets hiring paramedics but not nurses. I think the only thing they worry about in a set is the actor or extra being on a life threatening situation. Besides if something like that were to happen, wouldn't a nurse have to cal...

14. Insurance?

    vivibonita replied to LJ85's topic in LPN/LVN

    Nice work quoting TheCommuter :) ... Please get insurance as soon as you can. It is another way to CYA, my LTC is not good about offering us insurance, the one that I got was $45 a year (in CA). It isn't that expensive and it is worth it.

15. 3 day orientation for new LPN

    vivibonita replied to natrgrrl's topic in LPN/LVN

    I agree with TheCommuter... consider yourself lucky with 3 days of orientation. I only had two, and believe me...once you are cut loose you feel like you didn't learn anything. One thing that I learned in my tortuous first week alone was to be orga...
