    NurseShelly replied to LVNfairy's topic in General Nursing

    First of all... relax. You're a new grad and I don't think that the hiring manager will be expecting you to be able to take care of anyone on vent without a proper orientation/ preceptorship. Even...

  3. Have noticed racist threads right here in the past two days!

    NurseShelly replied to lpn2icu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe they have school age children, and a lot of schools were closed. I fault the hospital when we have to work with a skeleton crew due to call outs and such. I know its expensive, but utilize...

  4. RN-BSN programs

    NurseShelly replied to allboymd's topic in Men in Nursing

    If cost is something that concerns you, I would suggest that you look into a state school with an online program. There's so many out there that aren't advertising so to speak. That being said, I...

  6. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    NurseShelly replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Ok Trudy, the "THEM" that you're talking about are probably just a small handful. I hope that you don't think their representative of the whole. The sit-ins, water hoses etc. are a very real part my...

  7. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    NurseShelly replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    I've had that same experience numerous times. I agree with you 100%, but I'd like to add that we shouldn't surprised to find racist and insensitive people on the website either. Not all, but...

    NurseShelly replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, an innocent remark can have hurtful undertones that only the person being insulted can pick up on, be it about race, religion, weight, sexual orientation

  9. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    NurseShelly replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing to me a very humbling profession. You get and go to work to take of others; a job that not many people could do. Being discriminated against on the basis of your race, or anything else is...

  10. Bling on the job?

    NurseShelly replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I think that your ring is very special to you. In addition to pt. safety and infection control issues, I'd rather you leave your ring at home so it doesn't get damaged in any way or lost. My mother...

    NurseShelly replied to Red-Headed LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Red Head, I'm sorry that you're going through this. It's an awful feeling to go to a job that you don't like so much that it makes you cry. I had an awful job once before too, so I can relate to...

  13. Duties of OB nurses (and others) Please feel free to add!

    NurseShelly replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! This is so helpful. I'll be making the change from Med-Surg to L&D very soon. This list really gives me something to go on in terms of review. I'm feeling a little intimidated however,...

    NurseShelly replied to kellyskitties's topic in Medical-Surgical

  18. Catholic University of America 2nd Degree Program

    NurseShelly replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in General Students

    I'm not exactly sure where you are, but if you're in VA or close to it, you may want to research Marymount University or George Mason University. Sorry, I don't know anything about CUA's

    NurseShelly posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    NurseShelly replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's exactly what I was thinking. But seriously, I hate taking care of someone who AO X 3, a legal adult, and someone else is doing all the talking for them. That just irks

    Hey. I've recently been accepted into an online RN to BSN program and I was wondering what should I expect in terms of the technical aspect, and how much time should expect to put in each week?...

    Wow. Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll just have to give it a try and see how it goes. This online program seems like the best way to go for me, working a full time rotating schedule and all....
