    Ortho_RN replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    HerEyes73... All I can say is I envy you people whether LPN or RN that work LTC... It is not my cup of tea.... I work on an Ortho floor and we are also a floor that can't keep people, no matter...

  13. Why LPN??

    Ortho_RN replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Well I chose to 2yr ADN route.. Why?? Because the college is 15mins away from my home, whereas the BSN program is 3hrs away... The community college also has a LPN program, but I don't want to be a...

    Ortho_RN replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    We also use a similar system and I like it... We wear badges, PCA's and RN's/LPN's have different badges, so when the PCA goes in the room there is an Orange light that comes on, and a Green one when...

  17. Nursing Students: good/bad moments

    Ortho_RN replied to nursbee04's topic in General Students

    Best: Have a nursing instructor with a reputation for being mean pull me aside and tell me that my paperwork is great and not to bother doing anymore :) And that me and a classmate were the Sunshine...

  18. Questions asked by Nurse Recruiter...what is the norm?

    Ortho_RN replied to funnygirl_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I have the feeling they were probably asking size because it is a ORTHO floor.. Most ortho floors require alot of lifting and not many 5' 100lb women can hold up a 6' 200lb man if needed... Not that...

    Ortho_RN replied to Kimberly_1999's topic in General Students

  24. are doctors more valued then nurses?

    Ortho_RN replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that doctors are more valued... To be honest I have met more patients who say they think their nurse is "god" (not their exact word ofcourse)... Most feels its the nurse who takes the...
