I'm an LVN right now working on getting into the RN transition program. Currently I am working in a SNF but hope to specialize in oncology & I'm just wondering if BSN is a typical requirement? I do...

I have to say I agree that it seems like the facility hung u out to dry. When I made my insulin error, every one of my supervisors backed me up bc they knew I was new & had a lot going on. They also...

The facility I work has the MCR residents spread throughout the facility. That being said, we do have a particular wing that is higher acuity but the same amount of staff to care for it. I'm PRN so I...

Ok I've checked it out my quote is for an annual premium, so does that mean I only have to pay that small amount once a year to protect my license?! If so, that is MORE than worth it!! Awesome :)

How do we go about doing that?

I agree...some nights that's about all I can get done!

The facility I work at uses computer charting but we also have hard charts that we file orders, labs, etc. in & we have face sheets for both! I can't imagine having quick access to that info, I would...

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. And I'm not dependent on outside kudos, I know they're few & far between. But I do always give it my best & I know that's all I can do. Just...

I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from everyone I work with so I think I am pretty hard on myself. I just expect quality care for each resident & for everything to get done, and be done right!...

Does anyone else constantly have this battle with themselves? Some days I leave work feeling like I was a good nurse who made a difference but then other days I leave feeling like a complete failure....

Every time I hear Poplar Bluff, MO I think of Charlene Frasier on Designing Women :)
