  1. Working a 9-5 and starting NP Program

  2. Frontier Class 148

    I've applied for Class 151, how long after the deadline did you find out if you were accepted? Do they wait until the deadline to accept everyone? Thanks for the information!
  3. Volunteering for the weekend for Scout trip?

    I have been for day camp, was supposed to for a weekend but they found someone else. My understanding is it is mostly insect bites/stings, scrapes, minor ailments, and maybe sprains. But obviously anything can happen. They gave me a radio so they ...

  6. Best Hallucinations Thread

    Known hallucination pt called out that there were 2 men with guns drawn in his room. When we entered the room he was very upset, we explained that it was a mirror. He turned toward the empty chair beside him and said "Back me up, Jim!" At one po...
  7. What's the worst you've ever been dumped on?

    I work on a renal/tele/medsurg floor. These stories sound like my typical shift. I am happy if I only have 1 AMS pt at a time. No details as I tend to block out painful memories.
  8. Questions for Night Shift Nurses

    I just got off night shift this week. I loved the people and the teamwork but it is a lifestyle that my body can't handle. I slept as much as possible, which meant other things were neglected. I had to be awake at 3 when the kids got home so I wa...

  10. Giving up

    I have also given up...for now. I have always had plan A and plan B. I always thought A was the one for me. But I have interviewed 3 times with the same NM and each time I have left feeling great only to receive the rejection email later. It has ...

  12. This week we have had an unusually large number of mentally altered patients and our bed alarms have been malfunctioning. Not a good combination.
  13. LPN or RN

    You have to weigh your options. I chose LPN then RN because of my circumstances but it took longer and cost more to go that route.
  14. Malpractice Insurance

    I went home after a really bad night last week and got a quote, I immediately purchased liability insurance. It is worth the security and peace of mind. I also got NSO but the least coverage and it was $46 a year.
  15. Do you work at Hilton?

    I was just thinking about this driving home this morning. Waitress, maid, concierge, drug dealer:), room service, counselor, verbal punching bag, psychic, errand boy, and that is off the top of my head, I am sure I could add many more.
