1. Application question

   addylpn posted a topic in Ohio University

   I'm currently in the RN program at a community college and will be done in Fall '17. After I start working, I'd like to start working on my BSN. When would be a good time to apply to the OU program? Is there a waiting list? I still need to take a co...

2. Thrown off orientation too early??

   addylpn replied to banpoprock's topic in General Nursing

   Shortening of orientation happens pretty frequently especially in LTC. If a nurse knows she has an orienteee, the chances of her calling off increase. I know this to be true because I've seen it time and time again. That nurse puts your co-workers in...

3. Teamwork...Why do we do this to ourselves?

   addylpn replied to Beachbum671's topic in Safety

   You are very misinformed. There are MANY Cna's that have completed medication certification classes that allow them to LEGALLY pass medications. They are called MA's and are mostly working in AL and LTC facilities. You're statement implies that these...

   Alegria "Dana" are great if you have wide, flat feet.

5. Please share bad experiences as a new nurse

   addylpn replied to Lovethisworld's topic in LPN/LVN

   My first death and the only nurse around was a cold, heartless B! Was nervous about calling the family and I wasn't sure about the paperwork...she pretty much left me in the dust.

7. indefinite suspension because of med error

   addylpn replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric

   Oh give me a break. Everyone here has a fake name so don't give me a load about integrity. If it's ok for you to use an alias, it's should be ok for the OP. Like I said, give it up already!

8. indefinite suspension because of med error

   addylpn replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric

   Just curious, why does it matter whether the OP is really "the friend"? Why is it your business and what different advice/input would you give? It is the right of the OP if he/she chooses to remain anonymous...give it up already!

9. That one nurse...

   addylpn replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think the manager allows this because overall she is a good nurse who genuinely cares for her patients. It's upsetting because the other nurses always get stuck working with the less than par aides because she doesn't like them. I find her to be ve...

10. That one nurse...

    addylpn posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    There's a nurse at my facility that requests to only work with certain nurses. She asked the scheduler to alter her schedule to accomodate this. Also, if an aide that she does not care for is scheduled to her, she assigns them to another nurse. Some ...

11. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    addylpn replied to addylpn's topic in LPN/LVN

    This makes me feel so good to know that I am not alone out there! People are different, introvertion is finally coming to the forefront and is becoming more accepted. My mother, an extrovert, used to make me feel guilty about myself: "stop being so a...

12. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    addylpn posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I went into nursing because I wanted a stable job with decent pay. I also wanted to be able to help people. I'm a compassionate person, but I'm also very introverted. In other words, people suck the life out of me. The longer I work in this field, th...

15. Depression. . maybe

    addylpn replied to simplysw33t's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Nursing school is hard. You are bombarded with studying, homework, tests, clinicals. Friends and family don't understand why you don't have time to "hang out". Oh, and the money situation sucks too, especially if you can't work atleast a couple da...
