    nurseangel47 replied to MISS_TCM's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, nursing is one of the jobs that the stressors do not match the salary to the stressee! Nursing especially in an intensive care unit would be even more stressful, unless you are willing to be a...

  2. What are clinicals all about????

    nurseangel47 replied to BucklandRN's topic in General Students

    You'll have a blast! I've worked LTC for quite a while. An RN here. I remember that I worried for nothing so many nights in a prejittery state over clinicals the next morning. Mostly for nothing!...

  3. Any Reasons To Choose LPN over RN?

    nurseangel47 replied to JBirdAngel's topic in General Nursing

    Most definitely, RN rather than LPN. Broadens your senses of what/how A&P/procedures allowed/salary better/more understanding of processes and how they affect/outcomes of treatments and not just...

  4. Besides the degree, what is the biggest difference between LPNs and RNs?

    nurseangel47 replied to jdh822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. LPN and injections

  6. avioding criticism in documentation

    nurseangel47 replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds more subjective than objective in terms of the verbage. I would document tangible, neutral behavior to paint the picture of your idea of beligerent. Waves arms, kicks legs, strikes out...

  7. Scorned by Maternity

    nurseangel47 replied to NJNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. How do you know when it is time to quit your job

    nurseangel47 replied to CCURN's topic in General Nursing

    You stated things are not the same on the unit and a lot of people are leaving. Do you know why they're leaving? Have they let it be known the reason(s) why...? If the reasons they state are similar...

  12. Does anyone have puppy or kitten that they care for while in Nursing school?
