  1. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    summertx replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    if you look at the whole, as I said, 20 ratings with below average comments and ratings, there is a truth in it. Who wants subpar

  2. Patient Abandonment

    summertx replied to jung park's topic in General Nursing

    One rule is to never let a bad apple, there are plenty of those, ruin your license. This person made it terrible for you, the board of nursing won't look at that, they will look at whether the patient...

  3. Patient Abandonment

    summertx replied to jung park's topic in General Nursing

    Don't wait for them to report you, instead of you being reported, you need to report that person if they are bullying you. That is considered unprofessional

  4. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    summertx replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    Sorry but they are reliable. If a professor has 20 ratings and they have below average ratings, there is a

  5. 30 units lvn RN

    summertx replied to Jasmineee1's topic in General Students

    Why wouldn't you be able to apply for an RN program? Plenty of people fail for one reason or

  6. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    summertx replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    Can you get ratings of ratemyprofessors or others and include that in your presentation to the administration. RMP usually has the truth on them. You pay for your education and you have a right to...

  7. Can we talk about the Travel Nurse Cap?!

    summertx replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are mostly women, that is why they think it's easy to control them. They won't do this to police officers, paramedics or firefighters. When firefighters come to our facility for an emergency,...

  8. When you hear the word "nurse," do you think male or female?

    summertx replied to OldDude's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think it's probably also for females. I walked into a patient room and she gave me a frown and said was hoping for the good looking male nurse that usually comes in. Hey I'm not offended. I am...

  9. Is my nursing instructor bullying me?

    summertx replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

    It sounds like he/she got a bad apple. Def record, get ratings off RMP or somewhere and start legal or administrative process. If this instructor is not new, it probably has happened before and they...

  10. Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    summertx replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    No maam. They prepare in advance. Instead of 2 nurses, schedule 4, instead of 4 aides, schedule

  11. CNAs running the building??!!

    summertx replied to LuvNursing84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    CNA's don't know the job of being a nurse. It is essentially hidden from them. They have no responsibility. This is a divide in LTC. You have responsibility, they don't. They report to you, you...

  12. LTC is making me hate nursing!!!

    summertx replied to Angeljho's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No you don't. This is a tactic used by DON's and administration so they don't have to do any work to help you. Note they haven't worked the floor in over 20 years so this is all they can offer you if...

  13. Uplifting advice needed

    summertx replied to NeitherLostNorFound's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Your academic skills are probably appreciated but what kind of school are you at? They probably don't expect if it's LVN, and not a university. I would continue to perform above average, and not...

  14. Patient going to complain against me?

    summertx replied to Bella345's topic in General Nursing

    I believe someone already mentioned this, but the MD needs to start evaluating the patients themselves at this point or make it a point to come in to see the pt. If the patient wants to get upset,...

  15. Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    summertx replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    That's why places need to prepare in advance for call off on holidays. Passive aggressive meaning not giving reason for the call off, or calling in at the last minute because of too heavy of a...

  16. Holiday Sick Calls From Self-Centered Staff

    summertx replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that would save anger if y'all plan for call offs. Sorry this is administration's job. You know holidays and certain days are going to get more call offs, you call an agency and get it...

  17. I’m Disgusted and Disturbed

    summertx replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    There is no rigorous process to become an EMT or police officer. Physical but not educational. They are taught to use force if necessary. They are not taught to see the victim as a patient. When...

  18. The Wage Gap Myth

    summertx replied to car48's topic in Men in Nursing

    Men are more respected. I don't have a problem with that, I just don't care. Way it is? This is why I don't work full time anywhere. I make my own schedule, work when I want. If I don't have to put...

  19. I’m Disgusted and Disturbed

    summertx replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    The patient and the patient's family deserves to know what happened. You should make a police report. That is

  20. Thinking of withdrawing

    summertx replied to dreamer0x's topic in General Students

    How did you do on your second eval? Don't give up, you worked this hard, obviously you want to be an RN, no other school is going to be easier. There are some nursing instructors who WANT to make your...

  21. Career change at 46.......

    summertx replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nursing is needed at any age. CNA, LVN,

  22. Oncoming Shift Nurses Complaining about Assignments

    summertx replied to Joanne15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How many call offs are there per week? If it is often, there needs to be an incentive to take on extra patients. The 'sorry we are short' excuse is not acceptable if that is a constant

  23. I'm Done

    summertx replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's not only my opinion but also the belief that maybe if it's your job, opinions should be kept to yourself. I have seen MANY covid deaths - but I have no opinion on whether they were vaccinated or...

  24. I'm Done

    summertx replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    some healthcare facilities have no shame in overworking staff, even nurses who are near retirement. I knew a nurse who was 70 and they still put her on the schedule for 4 12's after repeatedly telling...

  25. I'm Done

    summertx replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The OP is not advocating that the unvaccinated are getting the care they deserve. He/she is belittling them. Clearly the wrong profession for the
