  1. Random tests?

    Lurkndmurk replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Lurkndmurk replied to ThinkerBelleRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Lurkndmurk replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. Why Is Giving Up So Appealingly Right Now?

    Lurkndmurk replied to BokChoi18's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    nursing school is way different than working as a nurse. Clinicals are a TERRIBLE guideline to actually being a nurse. I seriously don't think clinicals helped prepare me what so ever for bed side...

    Lurkndmurk replied to confusedrn94's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not gonna lie- I've done over night shifts on a behavioral health unit & it was the easiest nursing job I have ever had. The first 3 or 4 hours your patients are up & you've got a few...

    Lurkndmurk replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in General Nursing

    NETYed..? like a neti pot?! All i saw in my mind while reading this was new grads in a neti pot and a nurse pouring them in their nose

  13. Preparing to get my BSN

    Lurkndmurk replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in General Nursing

    If course they do. A lot of BSNs work in hospitals, corrections, nursing homes, etc. You can still do floor/bed side nursing & decline DON

  14. What should I do when I am not appreciated on my unit

    Lurkndmurk replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  17. In trouble afraid of being kicked out don't know what to do

    Lurkndmurk replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    Oh yeahhh, my college was SUPER strict about even posting ANYTHING on ANY social media about SIMPLY being in their nursing program- let alone posting photos of ourselves in clinical uniforms (even if...

  18. Please...please...Help

    Lurkndmurk replied to Prernafraid's topic in General Students

    i never took chemistry & honestly, any chemistry you had to learn in the nursing program they taught you. I really dont see this as a problem IMO; my LPN to Rn program doesnt even have chemistry...

  19. Can a graduated nurse be a medical assistant ?

    Lurkndmurk replied to Ilovelife1234's topic in Nursing Career

    Why dont you apply for a new grad

  20. New grad - best place to start?

    Lurkndmurk replied to Rionoir's topic in Psychiatric

    nope because we knew what we wanted psych. There's not reason to worry about "what you will lose" when you don't need it anyway in the area you want to

  21. Promotion offered -> LPN to Clinical Manager

    Lurkndmurk replied to NurseAsh89's topic in General Nursing

    I think because you are going back to school and will eventually be a new grad again, that this won't hurt your resume. You can easily apply to a new grad program as an RN if you want to pursue other...

  22. Can a graduated nurse be a medical assistant ?

    Lurkndmurk replied to Ilovelife1234's topic in Nursing Career

  23. LPN to RN woes

    Lurkndmurk replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    You can make "adult" money while going back for your RN ? that's one of the reasons I got my LPN first instead of the 2 year RN program. Plus, i got to find out that this is definitely where I'm...

  24. LPN to RN woes

    Lurkndmurk replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated my LPN program July 2019. I'm STILL mentally exhausted from that program; I made the mistake of continuing classes this semester- however, I'm taking spring semester OFF in order to...

  25. Can a graduated nurse be a medical assistant ?

    Lurkndmurk replied to Ilovelife1234's topic in Nursing Career

    Yup. You can get a job as a MA, but you will get paid less. I'm an LPN- I applied for and got an offer for a job as an MA.. but it was significantly less than working as a Nurse. Ultimately, I refused...
