1. Underage drinking question? please help

   A.dela replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

   As happy as I am for you to be 19 in the ADN program (I was 20 when I got my nursing license) you have a lot of growing up to do. Everything you do as an adult will stay on record (DUI's/MIP's etc.) And it WILL affect your licensing/hiring process. T...

2. I'm a new hire & want to start making protocol changes

   A.dela replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

   Right. Thats the plan after my husband is finished with his doctorates. I know several LN's that are ADONs and that may be something I'd be interested in pursuing (given if the opportunity presents itself)

   A.dela replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

   This is great advice! Yes I'm working on helping my CNA'S as much as possible, once I figure out their routine I will help out more :) thank you! This often gets overlooked and it's a great reminder to hear it from someone else

5. I'm a new hire & want to start making protocol changes

   Haha "salty". And yes I take pride in the care I provide. I love being a nurse. Like I stated earlier, all the mangement is new as well. And just as an update, it just so happened they decided to have an in service yesterday and accepted volunteers t...

6. I'm a new hire & want to start making protocol changes

   A.dela replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

   Was a charge nurse for SNF, I'm doing somewhat the same thing here. I believe in providing high quality care and I'm used to typically 20-30 residents with high acuity. So when I came in to this, it makes me feel so bad for the residents because even...

   A.dela replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not a new nurse, I'm just new to this facility, which is why I notice these things are missing. I have several years of experience as a charge nurse

8. I'm a new hire & want to start making protocol changes

   A.dela replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you. Ya thats exactly what I want to avoid because I find patient care is much better when every one works together, and coming off as superior would cause a rff (even though I'm not superior by any means, my coworkers are genuinely great peopl...

   So I am a new hire at a new job. They recently started going through a change in management and many of the nurses stayed with the company. Some have been there for 3+ years and love it there. Im enjoying my job and coworkers, however, I'm finding th...

10. My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    A.dela replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    You're ALLOWING your husband to have possessive control over you. You need to think deeply about what you're allowing him to do and what you're allowing yourself to fall into. That is the beginning of an abusive relationship if it isn't already. Plea...

    A.dela replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Simple, you call the ordering physician/PA/CNP and request they clarify

12. I feel like my career is coming to an end after a major surgery

    A.dela replied to A.dela's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't aware that working from home was an option for LPN/LVN's but I'll definitely start some research. Thank you!

13. Reported for this?

    A.dela replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    The one thing my teachers drilled into our minds as students: "Never ever take credit for giving something if you didn't prepare it or administer it yourself". Sorry but I'd have to agree with your new director. Your nursing license requires you to C...

    Hi there. I have been an LPN for 3 years, almost 4. I was diagnosed last year with Chiari Malformation which resulted in a suboccipital craniectomy/c1 laminectomy. 1 week later I went back to my part time clinic job, but quit a few months later bease...
