  1. Best Places To Look for Employment?

    The best place to look for a job is the facilities you did your clinicals. Make sure to get the names of the nurses you work with & ask them if they would be willing to write you a letter of recommendation. If not, ask if they mind you giving t...
  2. Physcial Assessment

    Depending on the facility you're at, most nurses have what we call our brain. It's a computer printed page that has the pt's name, diagnosis, etc. Ask the nurse for your assigned patient if you can copy hers. Don't be scared to ask. We were all s...
  3. afraid ...

    Whatever you do, don't post a response to the aide's post on the media site. HIPAA applies to everyone, including her!I wouldn't wait to discuss what you read on the website with your supervisor. I'm assuming you did a head to toe assessment on eac...
  4. When will I feel like a real nurse?

    Have you considered applying to an acute care hospital that offers a comprehensive training program? With you having previous experience in the medical field & presently working towards an RN degree, you shouldn't have a problem finding a hospit...
  5. First time Im going to have to deal with legal issues

    Hang in there! I know HH can be a beast! I tried it for 2 months when I went back to work after having a MVA. I thought it would be easier to transition back into nursing than jump into 12 hr shifts after being off for 5 months due to injuries. I...
  6. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    Thank you, CrunchRN! I'm currently looking for another job. A little worried because of references because I have worked for this company for 18 months. I can't afford a bad reference. Also, I don't regret my decision to report the abuse. I only...
  7. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    Update! It appears I've been hung out to dry! My supervisor realized she was in serious trouble so she called me & offered to give me another assignment that she hasn't even confirmed. Then, she called my student's mother & told her I took...
  8. New grad relocating to Houston ... is it THAT bad out there?

    If you're looking for a hospital that hires new grads, check into HCA hospitals. I know that Bayshore Medical Center in Pasadena, TX is always hiring & they definitely hire new grads. It probably won't be your dream job but it beats no job at a...
  9. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    JustBeachyNurse...I thought that's how it was supposed to be. Wouldn't that have been easier to tell parents instead of them finding out through anonymous sources that their children are being hit? Now, the parents are furious because they had no i...
  10. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    @ Nhnursie...all of the support from my fellow nurses have given me the courage, information, & support to do what I knew needed to be done. I'm blessed to have each & every one of [email protected] you! I was hoping that FERPA d...
  11. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    I have been extremely careful not to divulge any names. I don't know anything about FERPA.
  12. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    @ CrunchRN...Thank you! My grandmother raised me to do the right thing regardless of the consequences. My agency didn't fire me. The Special Needs Nurse Coordinator replaced me with another nurse through my agency. My student's mother was told sh...
  13. Special Needs Child Being Bullied: How can I keep my patient safe?

    Update...I followed everyone's advice. Reported incidents to the proper authorities. Have to say this has turned into one big mess. My student's mother has hired an attorney to fight for my job after being told there was nothing she could do but a...
  14. Texas LVN-RN Online

    I see all posts for Lamar State College state that this is a 15 month program. I have completed all but 6 of the BSN prerequisites. Would that shorten the length of the program or would I have to wait until the others complete theirs & start th...
  15. Distant learning nursing school ethical issue

    This is crazy!!! It is unethical to expect nursing students to lie because an instructor is too lazy to do the job she is being paid to do. The down side of reporting to the BNE is that if this school loses their accreditation because of one lousy ...
