1. RN to LPN delegation in Kansas

   dodgerla posted a topic in General Students

   I am working on a delegation assignment for school. As I try to "think critically" and hash through this material that really hasn't been taught to me I have run into some really big questions & hoped some of you Kansas RNs could help me. 1. ...

2. nurses who don't want students

   dodgerla replied to crimsondawn's topic in General Students

   It is really frusterating when you get one who seems to make you feel like you're a thorn in their side, just being there. Hang in there because you may get an excellent one next time!!!!! Just like anything, there are good ones & bad ones. It al...

4. What do you think?

   dodgerla replied to dodgerla's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks everyone. I currently read the monitors & it has been a great experience and reading the Doc's orders is definately a challange. I appreciate all of your input & keep it comeing with the pros/cons of LTC or Hospital care. Thanks so ...

5. What do you think?

   dodgerla replied to dodgerla's topic in CNA/MA

   This hospital doesn't hire that way after the 1st semester, for some reason. I've absoluetly considered the tuition reimbursement thing & its definately weighing heavy. I know they favor the RN school there in town, which is not the one I'm goi...

6. What do you think?

   dodgerla posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I have worked in a hospital as a unit secretary/ward clerk for about 7 months now. When I was hired I was hired PRN until I took my CNA test & was told that I would move to a CNA position after that. I got it in June & am still working as a...

7. PDA's being phased out?

   dodgerla replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

   I have one, it wasn't required, but is for incoming students. I LOVE mine. It's so simple to have it right there, when you just need to look something up really quick. I actually use it along with my books sometimes, but its a great pocket tool and t...

9. Full time work & Full time school??

   dodgerla replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Students

   I don't have any kids, but I do have a husband that is similar to one(I love him anyway!) and I work. It's tough, but it's doable. You may have to learn to live with a little less sleep but you can do it. Just remember how nice it will be when it'...

10. Is it just me ????

    dodgerla replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Students

    I think nursing school teaches you, but there's so much more to learn on the job. I don't think you're alone at all. Talking to graduates that I know, I think this is a pretty common feeling!!!

12. OK really leave me alone already!!!

    dodgerla replied to Chantilly's topic in General Students

    I think you're doing very well to keep your mouth shut for as long as you have. I would have told her what I thought a long time ago. BUT at least you know that you're going to make it through the program that you are in with flying colors, and she...

13. Best clinical weekend ever...

    dodgerla replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in General Students

    Sounds pretty amazing! As a first semester student, this day seems so far away for me, but I simply can't wait until I feel the confidence you weekend obviously provided for you!!! Congrats on your success!!!

    dodgerla replied to Chantilly's topic in General Students

    I totally understand how you feel. The one in my class isn't a 2nd timer, but she works in a hospital and apparently that qualifies her to be an RN without the schooling that the rest of us have to go through, or so she thinks. I finally just had to ...
