People can easily use the books for those exams though right? And is the proctored exam at the end of the program or after each nursing course?

Wow that's not good. They're just letting people fly through

How are you a nurse ?

Is prep u proctored exam?

My friend is trying to obtain her ADN and is working on her gen eds through a community college. I referred her to excelsior because it's online for their ADN. But I just read they lost their accreditation. As far as excelsior cost were you guys able to get financial aid? Which is better community college or excelsior?

Im doing traditional and like it

Oh no, most people know not to go to excelsior. Unfortunately, few people attend because they want the easy way out. The easy way out is never the answer when obtaining a nursing degree. Lives are on the line.

Yes and no, the issue is their scope of practice. There are certain things they can't do so not only will the RN's have oversee their patients but also cnas plus lpns. Plus I don't know how much faith lpns have with the hospital system considering they've pushed them out , put them back in, pushed them out now wants them back. I don't think a hospital is a reliable place for lpn

Update, the director has been fired ?.Now Hopefully the clinical manager is next because there's about to be an audit. She's in trouble. She's been trying to reach out to me but she's on mute. She is very incompetent and behind on her work. We have someone new who said he's overseeing the office so new management audits on the way.shes craping bricks right now

Exactly and that's what I did. Did you read the post Exactly and the agency does nothing about it. But like the person said the family doesn't have much coverage so she's desperate. Me personally I'd get rid of the nurse harming my loved one despite I may have coverage or not

How do I find that out? Yeah who knows how that would turn out so I don't want to start with the nursing board. I rather call an ombudsman

Yes it's absolutely ridiculous. I left the case and a bunch of nurses just quit the agency. They're losing good nurses. And I've found another agency

I've actually considered that but my concern is it back firing on me. I'm currently hired with another agency on the side now. Plan to slowly maneuver over to another agency.

Thank you, yes im highly disappointed in this agency as I've spent time trying to rectify the damage the nurse has done. According to the supervisor she said the nurss that I've been reporting seen my nurses note about her and reported it . The supervisor stated as the supervisor she was just going to advise me next time not to document about her but the nurse I reported is always calling the office and called the director so the director advised her as the supervisor to have me sign a the sheet stating I've been counseled on documenting. The supervisor also said that they've had spoke to that nurse in the office twice and everytime she threatens to quit and that she has told schedulers she doesn't want that nurse on any of her clients cases but due to not having enough nurses they keep her there. She said she's got one more strike until she's done because she's already got another client sent to the hospital. Despite her saying all that it made me even more upset because why haven't they fired her? She's harming these patients yet they're allowing her to work and because I've been trying to help I get counseled for documenting what she did? So silly and yes I've quit the case and the director said ," I hope this doesn't deter you from picking up other cases with us". Im not even going to respond. Now looking for another job

Respiratory suppliers are aware and spoke with her about how to operate the machine still she keeps on. As far the clients infection I called EENT set up an appointment , called her gastrointestinal specialist for her stomach to set up an appt that all documented but I left the case looking for another job too

What do you mean by " target on my back?" I've left the case . Also, she damaged the battery operated one plus the filters on the suction cannister to where you cannot suction the client. She damaged 7 suction cannister filters yes 7!

A nurse I work with goes against orders, continuously breaks respiratory machine, does things without orders. What would you do? So it's been going on for weeks... a nurse I work beside in home health has been breaking the patient's suction machine over and over and over. I talked to her about it and she denies it yet the family has caught her on tape and complains of the same issue. We are down to one suction machine that only works when plugged up. If power goes out we are screwed. I reported her to the supervisor. The client is on a continuous feed via pump but the nurse takes it upon herself to bolus feed the client. Yes! Without an order. The client complained to me it made her feel sick, full and has stomach pain. I reported to supervisor. She wrote up the wrong narcotic order higher than the original and gave to client. I reported. She removed the client from his ordered in-line suction and now the client has an infection. I reported and documented what she did. Because I documented what she did I had to receive counsel for my notes and signed the sheet. They said we cannot mention another nurse in the notes although I quoted her words verbatim. I decided to leave the case because I am unable to help the client due to continuously having to fix the problems the nurse created.

Then leave it. If this isn't what you want then walk away. I'm not sure what you're wanting us to say.

I am currently an Associate Degree RN will be pursing a BSN. My phlebotomy license is due but I do not use it. Is it worth renewing? Does having a phlebotomy license look good on a resume?

Thanks everyone Employer aware, the boyfriend is gone and I cut down to one day a week at that home.

Why would they not be able to?

Never heard of a CNA making 32.

The patient is great and so is the family. The only issue is the patient's daughter's live in boyfriend. I caught him kicking and punching the patient's dog outside. Then the later that day I heard commotion upstairs, the dog moving and whimpering and the bf cursing ,' sit your ***ing *** in the cage and stfu". I do not like this at all. The following day I didn't even want to show up to my shift . It just broke my spirit . He smokes weed in the patient's home and the patient is on a vent. He no respect yet the patient's daughter is in love with the loser. What's the best solution as my thoughts at this moment is to leave the case yet I don't want things to backfire on my from employer.

Well duh that's why it's called simpath . You should've taken general path then

So u rather just have it out in the open and on your record? How much sense does that even make. OMG think. If you're not using common sense now yet you expect to work in nursing ? Come now
