    How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    rnICU303 replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I felt that way a little bit too, especially when the OP wrote 'my patients'. I agree that we should all dress professional for an interview but diversity in the workplace is also important and a lot...

    Vent about toiletting patients

    rnICU303 replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the fact that as an RN you have work that only you as the nurse can do. CNA's cannot pass your meds or do your charting, call the doctor etc. So of course we all help out when we can but...

    Chose med surg like I'm supposed to, but really unhappy.

    rnICU303 replied to enytsyrhk572's topic in First Year After Licensure

    low GPA

    rnICU303 replied to futurnurse16's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry I cannot recommend any nursing programs that are 'easy' to get in to or make it through for that matter. My best advice to you is to look at why you aren't doing well. Do you need to get a...

    low GPA

    rnICU303 replied to futurnurse16's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not 'pretending' anything. Many people struggle in school or in certain subjects for a variety reasons. Nursing is so much more than 'a science related field'. Some of my classmates from school...

    low GPA

    If you don't mean to be than don't. Not every good nurse was great in school and not everyone that is great in school becomes a good

    Pt diverting pain meds, managers aware, nothing is done!

    rnICU303 replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Pt diverting pain meds, managers aware, nothing is done!

    rnICU303 replied to Peppermint_RN's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I strongly encourage you to protect yourself in this situation. Nobody else is going to. For starters meds are given per protocol, so if you witness your patient not taking them you need to take...

    Threatened by patient

    rnICU303 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's funny how quickly someone would be arrested for threatening or assaulting a police officer, yet nurses deal with this daily and the perpetrators suffer zero

    Hello! I'm a last semester RN student (LPN) and I'll be starting a clinical at Denver Health on Unit 8A wondering if anybody knows what this is? Med-Surg perhaps. Ok,
