wishing you well... good luck with everything

Thanks, these juices definitely need to get flowing.

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to use the diagnosis for my Psychosocial care plan... Its definitely not priority and you're right about their not being many if any interventions for me to perform for such diagnosis, but I haven't observed any other ineffective behaviors I can use for a psychosocial care plan

Greetings everyone... I just wanted to know if this diagnosis for my NCP is appropriate: Ineffective Role Performance r/t Low Socioeconomic Status as manifested by: Unemployment. -Pt. is a 41 y/o male, unemployed, lives with parents. He also has a child that he does not provide support for. Is the diagnosis appropriate? Thanks in advance for your replies

reading this just made me smile? im busting my brain trying to figure out how I can read and remember all this info for my cardio exam by monday, now all I have to do is take a deep breath and read only the main topics that were discussed during lecture... no conduction system, repolarization and depolarization for me

What's the passing score for the TEAS V exam at Harbor?

congrats

I WANTED 2 BE A TRAINED ASSASSIN WHEN I WAS A KID :yeah:BUT THE MILITARY SEEMED TOO HARD AND I CRY EASILY WHEN IM YELLED AT. SO HEY I FIGURED WHY NOT NURSING. I GOT MY LVN IN OCTOBER 2006. WORKED IN SNF/LTC, DID SOME HOME HEALTH AND I HAD 1 PRIVATE PATIENT. NOW IM WORKING REGISTRY TAKING PRE-REQ'S FOR THE RN PROGRAM. GOT ABOUT 3 SEMESTERS LEFT OF PRE-REQ'S, WISH ME LUCK.

It Sucks That U Have To Prove Yourself To Your Coworkers. I Mean U Should Be Able To Come Into A Job With Open Arms. Why Treat One Nurse Different Than The Rest Just Because Your New? Why Do U Have To Gain Their Respect (cna's Are Under Me) Yet Some Act Like Their Above It All. U Come In There To Do A Job, To Care For These Patients, Then Leave. Why Do Jerk Off COWORKER's Have To Be So Mean And Lazy? I'll Get Out Of That Place Asap. And Try Finding A Place Where Whether An Old Or New Nurse You'll Be Respected By Your Coworkers And Teamwork Is Expected Of Everyone And Not A Reward Just For Sticking It Out Through THEIR B.s.

HELLO ALL. I'VE HAD MY LVN LICENSE SINCE OCTOBER 2006. I CONSIDER MYSELF A NEW NURSE WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE. WHEN I FIRST GOT MY LICENSE I WENT STRAIGHT INTO WORKING IN SNF/LTC. THE REPITITION OF THE WORK BECAME BORING AND I FELT THAT I WASN'T UTILIZING THE "SKILLS" I LEARNT IN NURSING SCHOOL. I WANTED A CHANGE, I WANTED TO GROW IN MY FIELD, I WANTED TO GET INTO ACUTE CARE... BUT GETTING INTO ACUTE CARE WAS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. HOSPITALS WANT U TO HAVE ATLEAST 1 YEAR EXPERIENCE IN A HOSPITAL (GO FIGURE). OK LIKE HOW CAN U GET THE EXPERIENCE IN A HOSPITAL IF NO ONE WILL HIRE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN GET THE EXPERIENCE? SO I TOOK A CHANCE, NO EXPERIENCE @ ALL AND STARTED DOING REGISTRY WORK HOPING THAT I COULD STICK WITH THE REGISTRY, GET A YEAR EXPERIENCE THEN GO APPLY AT A HOSPITAL. THE REGISTRY WHICH ALSO REQUIRES U TO HAVE ATLEAST 1 YEAR EXPERIENCE HIRED ME ON THE SPOT... THE SAME DAY I GOT HIRED THEY SENT ME OUT TO WORK ON A MED/SURG FLOOR. PEOPLE, I FEEL LIKE I KNOW MUCH OF NOTHING AT ALL. MY BED SIDE MANNER IS GOOD, I PASS MY MEDS IN A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME AND HEY, HAVING 4 TO 5 PATIENTS AS OPPOSED TO HAVING 40 TO 60 PATIENTS IN A SNF ISN'T BAD EITHER. THE PROBLEM IM HAVING IS COMMUNICATING WITH THE STAFF RN'S & LVN'S. IM NOT GOOD AT GIVING REPORT, I FEEL LIKE IM NOT GIVING THEM ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT THE PATIENT, IM NOT REAL DETAILED IN MY REPORT GIVING LIKE THE OTHER MORE EXPERIENCED NURSES ARE. I DIDN'T LIE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE, I GUESS I HAD A GREAT INTERVIEW AND THE INTERVIEWER WHO'S NOT A NURSE FELT FROM THE "GAB" I SPOKE, THAT I WAS COMPETENT ENOUGH TO BE ON A MED/SURG FLOOR. I WANT THAT COMPETENCE SO BAD, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IM DOING. I WANT TO GIVE GOOD REPORTS TO THE ONCOMING SHIFT, KNOW WHEN TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PATIENT FROM THE NURSE WHO'S GIVING REPORT TO ME AND BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE DOCTORS. BE ABLE TO NOTICE ABNORMAL THINGS GOING ON WITH MY PATIENT AND JUMP RIGHT ON IT AND KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THIS PERSON. I DONT FEEL LIKE IM DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. BEING IN A HOSPITAL NOT KNOWING ANYTHING IS MAKING ME FEEL LIKE GIVING UP ON NURSING. I DREAD GOING TO WORK, I CRY AFTER THEY CALL ME TO CONFIRM A SHIFT, ONLY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IM GOING IN BLIND AND THAT IM USELESS TO THE ENTIRE PROFESSION. I'VE HAD SOME RN'S ASK ME HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN A NURSE AND WHAT HOSPITALS HAVE I WORKED AT ETC. I MEAN DO I JUST FLAT OUT SAY OH I'VE ONLY BEEN WORKING IN ACUTE CARE FOR 2 MONTHS WITH NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE AT ALL? SHOULD I JUST GIVE UP THE HOAX? WHAT AM I DOING? I NEED SOME MOTIVATION, SOME GUIDANCE, SOMEONE TO SAY ITS OK, I'VE BEEN WHERE U'VE BEEN, I KNOW HOW U FEEL. I JUST WANT TO BE A BETTER NURSE. BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO TO BECOME BETTER...

Getting A New Job Sounds Nice And All But I Mean U Dont Wanna Be A Job Hopper. This Is An Easy Situation, Simply Put, Just Let Them Know Who's Boss. Your Their Supervisor So Supervise.

Good Luck Kim, With Whatever You Do... Im Sure Everything Will Fall Into Place As It Should. And That D.o.n. Will Reap What She Sew.

Nope. Being an LVN, well a nurse period, has its ups and downs, but I couldn't see myself doing anything else.

1st off Congrats to The Commuter for that 4.0... U go girl! 2nd, how do you know which facilities have the baylor plan? I live in Southern Cali and I have never heard of such a thing. I would love to have a schedule like that, being that I start school full time next month. Its been really hard to find a job that will fit my school schedule, and im definitely dont plan on "taking a break from my studies". What places should I check out that might have a schedule like that?

Oh Bala, I know how u feel. I quit my lame job almost a month ago and it truly does suck being unemployed. All I can say is keep looking, I dont live in Nevada but im sure its something out there for u. If you found this crappy place then I know u can find another... Just kidding. But seriously, dont give up!. Keep stumping the pavement and soon enough you'll be making a new thread telling everyone how u love your new job... GOOD LUCK!!!
