    I saw another nurse assault a patient

    Hoosier_RN replied to morman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I thought that, too. What kind of nurse would NOT report an abuse regardless of job progression. To me, if this were real life, I would be thinking if you have to ask about something that basic in...

    Ivy Tech LPN Program

    Hoosier_RN replied to amhxo94's topic in School, College Programs

    Honestly, it's probably not competitive. I was an instructor there, (as well as a student) years ago. And the points for those are still used for ASN and BSN programs. But, you never know until you...

    Tension between Nursing Home Nurses and Acute/Critical Care Nurses! Lets visit!

    Hoosier_RN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And I have the MAR and hx at hand. I have given info to ER nurse only to be asked 'is she on x med?', which I had just said (usually lasix). And I'm sure when I was in ER, I asked a question that...

    New Nurse With Large Disposable Income

    Hoosier_RN replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, not sarcastic at all. ToS on this site state that you cannot use a title that is not earned. It is what it is. If you can't follow simple rules on a website, makes one wonder about the not so...

    Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    Hoosier_RN replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Apparently you haven't read many posts relating to this. Your entitled to your opinion and me to mine. But as someone who's done the hiring, a brand new grad has very little negotiating power. I've...

    Hoosier_RN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've done ER, ICU, home health, med/surg, hospice and ltc. Every area has a different perspective. No, we shouldn't be divided. But honestly, its hard to see outside of your own perspective at any...

    Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    Hoosier_RN replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Great thought, except new grads don't really have any room to negotiate. As someone who has done the hiring, a new grad started at x; x years of experience brought something to the table so there's...

    Tell them quickly and as courteously as possible. Let them know that it is a better fit for your future plans. But be aware that it may hurt in the future if you use them as a reference. And with...
