Seen a position opening for an RN for director of health services in a 50 apartment complex for assisted living.. noticed it required being on call.. They are the only nurse on staff. The facility trains their own staff to do resident care and pass ...

What are you thoughts are these companies... high liability for the nurses?

Lpn as ADON? Just wondering how that works. Are they in charge when the DON is gone? That doesn't make sense because legally a lpn can't supervise Rns. Just wondering how a lpn can get by with doing resident admissions, intial assessments when that i...

My current insuance NSO doesn't have coverage for corrections... called Proablility and they don't have coverage for corrections any more either... Recently got hired as a corrections RN for a MN county and will be pulled to more then one county jail...

I am an associate degree RN that is currently in that program to obtain a BSN and I haven't been very impressed with it. For the Lpn to Bsn it maybe a good program but for the Rn they don't seem to acknowledge you as an RN nor your past RN work and s...

Any one else feeling that rn to bsn programs are a scam.. recently have looked into 2 online rn to bsn programs from 2 state universities.. one was 20 nursing credits, the other was 27 credits.. after they went thru my transcripts it ended up being t...

lvnbsn2, the lpns are taking classes with the assoc rn for their bsn. This school has a lpn to bsn and a rn to bsn program. Alot of the rn to bsn classes are what the lpn to bsn is taking. Thus you have Assoc rns who have already taken the rn bo...

From what I am experiencing you might be better off to do a lpn program and then get into a bsn program from there... Perhaps a one yr lpn program and do the bsn.. I know of alot of people that have a hard time getting into a 4 yr school's bsn progra...

also wouldn't be bad if the employers were more willing to do the tutition rebursement thing..

Vic Rn, yeah.. this is how i am feeling and I haven't even started the program yet.. just hard to swallow pay for all these classes just so I have an extra edge for more possible job opportunities... now if I was guarrenteed to get a raise that woul...

It is like that alot of schools are taking advantage of the supposely nursing shortage so they popping with rn programs all over the place... some of them I question if people would even hire a person knowing they are from a business college type of ...

Ever notice too, that alot of these online programs such as Kaplan, university of phoenix ect.. that they list on this website and others don't ever just list the infor, they ask you infor.. I did that one time and got a bunch of phone calls from var...

houtx, It really makes one feel like they all in it to try to get more money off of a person.. after you start to think of the time and money that it will take to acheive the bsn, you start to think you should have went to med school instead... 5 to...

mn nurse, wouldn't be so bad if one hadn't already gotten an associate degree from a 2 yr lpn program and then went another yr to get an associate degree for the RN. I have a total of 3 yrs in. These 2 programs had pre req. If I had known it wo...

When I work pm shift there is 1 nurse for 35 residents, 2 eight hr cnas and 2 cnas that go home at 730 and 9pm, unit clerk that is there something like 4 to 8. Gets to be a busy shift for I am setting up and passing meds till 5 pm or so, dinner bre...

Just wondering if anyone has found that if they helped cna's on the floor with answering lights, assisting them with putting residents to bed with lifts if eventually they expect the nurse to help them. This helping out is done when the nurse is ha...

There isn't really anything that you can say.. I have been there... Lost my son 4 yrs ago unexpectly and suddelnly to aml and now recently a friend of mine lost her 20 yr son to sucide. It was very hard going over to her house 2 days after it happe...

I often wonder this because where I am at, I am often wonder if the state is not strict enough with the survey.

I am often disappointed with the activity department where I am at. I feel that they could be doing a lot more then what they are doing. Right now it doesn't appear to be much. I used to work activities in a nursing home in a different state and wher...

I work nites with only one CNA. We work alot with each other. She is a single parent who isn't from the area and doesnt have any family in the area. She's been dealing with alot of problems at home with one of her kids.. I hear alot about her pro...

Where I am at it seems like alot of the places are being picky as to who they pick and they are taking a bsn over the asn. I had been told more then by one person that the one hospital that I have applied at that they don't even look at the 2 yr rn....

totallackofsurprise, what you have stated is good infor.. I wonder too if there is a short fall with the counselling after hospital discharge. I told her that since she isn't able to get into therapy right away that perhaps she needs to call the c...

Yeah.. this is pretty much what is going on.. this gal doesn't have any family here. They are in the other side of the united states. I work with her alot, most of the time and have lent a listening ear to her because of that fact. She is also a s...

Where I am at I have noticed lately that the cna's now think that the nurse should be answering their lights even when they are having a quiet shift. Got one shift that the cnas only will answer their own lights on their list because they feel that t...

I have no problem staying awake on the shift it is on my days off that really messes with me.. I end up staying stuck in that nite shift mode and can't adjust. It is depressing and frustrating when I am off because I feel like I am sleeping all the ...
