  1. An answer to them calling everyday!

    Beary-nice replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

    Do we work on the same floor?? We are again in the process of hiring more help, which means in about a month, there will be about 5-8 new grads hired. Until they all get through orientation and if...

    Beary-nice replied to scrubs2716's topic in General Nursing

  8. Anyone else feel like their clinical instructor doesn't like them?

    Beary-nice replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Students

    There will be instructors you will get along fine with and others you will hope to never see again. I know, I myself can be very thin-skinned. If someone looks at me in what I think is the wrong...

  9. "Oh, so you'll be doing all the dirty work..." Help?

    Beary-nice replied to WVlpn2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Beary-nice replied to tigress_8207's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know that there is a concrete answer to that. One lab manual will tell you one range and another manual, something else. It is also going to vary by facility. If you are just looking for a...

    Beary-nice replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    Beary-nice replied to Jado0114's topic in General Students

    Beary-nice replied to nursemn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with sirI and I have found it worth the time to call NSO and let them know when I have had status changes. In my opinion, I highly believe it is better to have some sort of my own coverage...
