1. New Grad seeking advice + reassurance: I will be taking 7 patients on med surg day shift

   delrionurse replied to emmaroseRN's topic in General Nursing

   I apologize for replying in that way. I just read the replies above and I felt it wasn't truthful to tell you there would be aides available to give you an illusion of if you build a good rapport they...

2. New Grad seeking advice + reassurance: I will be taking 7 patients on med surg day shift

   delrionurse replied to emmaroseRN's topic in General Nursing

   Just a couple of things to add. Many aides are taken to go sit, meaning when you think you have 1 or 2 aides, they are often needed to be sitters or to do another task, meaning you are left to do all...

3. LPN scope in ED

   delrionurse replied to WonderRN's topic in Emergency

   When I worked ED, LPN's worked in fast track, holding or non trauma areas. Lower acuity rooms. Never (initial) traumas, or triage level 1's. They never triaged or answered radio

6. Maintaining compact licensure

   delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello everyone, I wanted to know if there is any way to maintain my compact licensure and move to a state with single state licensure. If I still consider my primary residence and mail with my...

   delrionurse replied to Hanan Miles's topic in Nurse Disabilities

   Not only can you complete nursing school but there are doctors who are little people also, look up Jennifer Arnold. Also I knew a doctor who had a disability, and he did his rounds on his motorized...

8. Smoking residents in LTC

   delrionurse replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

   It doesn't make sense to be a 'healthcare organization' and requiring the nurse sit out there for the residents to smoke. Plus being responsible for the pts inside the building. Sitting with these...

9. That's not what I had in mind

   delrionurse replied to amason2021's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Why should a woman put up with groping at a facility when they told management they felt uncomfortable and nothing was done. The CNA didn't feel comfortable providing care and let management know....

10. West Coast University

    delrionurse replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    Many people in the medical field start out as CNA's and work their way up. Whether it is CNA to RN, CNA to LVN to RN. Some people don't know if they want to be a nurse and taking a 2 month CNA class...

11. Broken RN License

    delrionurse replied to RN217isbroken's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you tried a more rural area? You might have to drive a bit to sustain work. Some nurses I know drive 2 hours to work and stay in their camper for 3 12 hour shifts. This is in SNF's. Between...

12. Management threatens nurses

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    You would have accept the consequences including corrective action, write up or whatever they do if you already accepted the shift. I am no legal expert, but you are protecting yourself if you say...

13. Management threatens nurses

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    You may have to 1) deny an admission due to patient safety regardless of what the DON says 2) call before you're shift and tell them you need help on the floor (or call in) if they don't accommodate...

14. I'm 60 yrs old. Is it too late for me to become a RN?

    delrionurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I say go for it. If it is in your heart, then do it. I would just be careful about debt. See if you can get in to a community college

15. Made a bad mistake

    delrionurse replied to Tierno's topic in General Nursing

    I can see the technical error, but it really is no big deal. You gave her half the dose because she said 15mg was too much. You were taking care of the patient. From an admin standpoint, it's a...
