    problems with "too many chiefs" and etc in my LTC fac

    Multicollinearity replied to Meg1207's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It sounds like you've either got to make peace with saying nothing at all or find another job. The DON has made it crystal clear she is not interested in your concerns. However, she doesn't...

    Gen X,Gen Y,baby boomers in the work place

    Multicollinearity replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Texting while working is a scourge. For some, it appears to be an addiction. Regardless, I'm glad possession of a cell phone is against the law where I work. It entirely solves this...

    Online BSN not requiring associates or diploma

    Multicollinearity replied to Lindsey Kay's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have seen RN-BSN programs that do not require an associate degree. They typically award about 30 credits for an RN license. Diploma RNs earn BSNs this

    Nurses that Create a Hostile Work Environment

    Multicollinearity replied to wendmill's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A positive, bully-free workplace culture is difficult to maintain, but we've managed to do it, mostly, where I work. It probably works because we have a small staff. When I started at my place of...

    Can I do nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to KaitlynLeighx3's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe to enter nursing school one would have to be able to perform essential tasks with accommodation. That would mean clinicals in a hospital where the nursing student must lift, transfer (and...

    6 days away from NCLEX...... Feeling the nerves hit hard

    Multicollinearity replied to Delishatarver's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Listen to GrnTea. I put off NCLEX for over 2 months. It was absurd. There was no reason. Like the OP, my predictor scores said I would not have a problem. At a certain point you have to call it...

    ACLS requires a doctor's order?

    RN vs. BSN

    Multicollinearity replied to mmarqua4's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This thread is 4 years old. It's interesting seeing the opinion change from the idea that one only needs the BSN if going into public health, research, or management - to - you better get your BSN,...

    Multicollinearity replied to docpsychrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's not the primary concern in a correctional facility. The primary concern is that the medication could have been sold/given/found its way to an inmate. That could lead to felony charges for...

    Scared at new job in psychiatric hospital

    Security is much better in the prison environment. This is why state psychiatric hospitals are so dangerous - many patients are there, court-ordered due to danger to others - but where is the...

    Scared at new job in psychiatric hospital

    Multicollinearity replied to GypseyGirl's topic in Psychiatric

    The things you see in a state psych hospital are among the most extreme a nurse will see. You have a right to feel safe and be basically safe. Most people have no idea how unsafe state psychiatric...

    Multicollinearity replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    My weird quirk is that I'm germo-phobic at work because I believe my patients are uniquely germy. I work in the land of MRSA, numerous infectious diseases, and numerous STDs. It's not all that...

    New.Rn, I'm guessing you work as a community health nurse under the expanded scope of practice in the Northwest Territories or Nunavut? Most nurses here will have no idea (and be blown away) by the...
