Good day ma'am! Hope you're doing well.. Godbless!

Hello glad to "meet" you!

Ah! Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I am unable to reply via PM. I'd like to go into more discussion regarding your staffing. Feel free to e-mail me at starrrsixtynine at GMAIL dot com

Thank you!

Hello! I read your post regarding an inpatient unit and was curious how your facility organized your staffing and if there is a state regulation that influences this. I also wanted to know how your inpatient unit is licensed (like a SNF or acute setting?) I'm trying to present some data to our administrators to take into account acuity. We currently staff 1 RN to 10 patients in our facility (In California, but I don't think staffing ratio laws are affected by our facility, not sure why...)

Anyway! Please respond at your earliest convenience! I look forward to hearing from you.

PSW means personal support worker

Thank you for the in person advice but our teacher told us if we couldn't interview anyone in person to post on this website. I did interview an RN off of this site but I don't know any other nurses and our teachers didn't want us bombarding the doctors offices around town. If your still willing to help I only have a couple more questions and they are both just on advice you would give. The first is what advice would you offer to someone just beginning in the nursing profession? The second is what advice would you offer a nursing student as they work towards the completion of their degree? I really appriciate you helping me because I know you don't have too. It just goes to show how compassionate nurses truley are for helping others. Thank you!

Thank you so much. The first couple question's I got from your about me, years experience and specialties. The first question I have for you is: How is professionalism incorporated in your role as a nurse?

I just had a couple of questions about your responses. First, on the question about the level of competencies changing since you started, what do you mean by they are more accepted for what they are? Are you saying that a less competent person is accepted for being just that, or just that students are being accepted because nurses understand that they are learning?
Next, by the discipline of nursing, I guess what I mean is, what do you think about the field of nursing. I realize it has grown more independent over the years, with nurses becoming more and more relied on ... so I guess just your opinion about nursing and what it encompasses --if that helps at all :-)
And lastly, just out of curiosity, what was your favorite field of nursing out of the five you listed?

Hey, Thanks a lot for getting back to me I really appreciate it! I did get your messages, just not sure how to reply...so I'm posting here and hopefully you get it.

Hello again ma'am.. Thank you for the encouragement! Take care!
