peds may have less lifting. all the adult units have the potential to have 200 pound patients. school nursing in california requires a school nurse credential. many of them are nurse practitioners as well. so with completing a masters with a nurse pr...

i totally sympathize. i have had my share of family members who write everything down, call you to turn the patient every hour, and look at you as if you are a criminal, lazy or trying to get out of work. their needs come first. they don't care that ...

in an emergency situation she cannot refuse. this will need some serious discussion with your nursing manager. i would have told her to page the house supervisor for me if she was not going to help. that's like having your patient fall out of bed, be...

LOL Canoehead!

that's a good idea. just put "bz" before the post in the subject line. i guess the moderators have to make some announcement to that effect - not sure how. thanks texas lvn - you solved the problem pending approval by those who run the forums! :yelcl...

They absolutely are "real" nurses. Here in California I rarely work with them - however it seems that perhaps they are working in clinics etc. and I work in hospitals. It sounds as if you will have to work full time to get the tuition reimbursement -...

without reading everything in detail since she was home schooled she may not have gotten used to the zillions of multiple "guess" tests that most people take in school. however, the exam to get the lpn license will definitely be multiple choice. for ...

just wondering if there are nurses out there who are working registry or travel.

the experience i have had most consistently is that supervisors are in between staff nurses and upper management. if management is not pleased they will be fired. if the nurses are not content they may be fired. most of them can't work the floor anym...

[color=#00bfff]actually i am not working registry. i was wondering about the experiences some have had. my perception is that it's a good bet hospitals don't want nurses thinking that registry work is secure. it gives the nurse way too much autonomy....

that's awsome. i wonder what the working conditions are like in your state.
