  2. Considering Nursing as a career

    ann945n replied to travellvr's topic in General Nursing

    I have met every personality type in nurses. I actually work with a bubbly cheerful nurse while Im more serious and sarcastic type. I think all personalities are needed because pts are just so diverse...

  5. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    ann945n replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I for one support entry level RN's being BSN. I went from CNA to LPN to RN ADN and now almost an RN BSN. Having gone through every level of nursing so far I can see the benefits to all my levels of...

  8. New Grad

    ann945n replied to Carla25's topic in General Nursing

    I find the best thing is to read up on proper technique and how to locate sites. Then talk it through with senior nurses who are willing to teach. Ask them if you can locate correct inject site...

    ann945n replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    okay my mistake

  10. LTC to Med-surg-can I expect any relief??

    ann945n replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would say LTC in most situations would be easier in the long run because you have the same patients (mostly) all the time and you get to know when they like their meds and how they like them and...

  11. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    ann945n replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you agree they are different and not the same then you should have no trouble with Nurses only wanting Nurses to use that title and defending a title we worked so hard to gain. As such I would be...

  14. Sorian Nursing Computer Program

    ann945n replied to LifeIsShortHaveFun's topic in General Nursing

    Ive used Sorian before and found it to be buggy and odd, but Im not sure if that was the software or just the hospital not instaling it

  15. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    ann945n replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have missed the point here big time Becoming a nurse is difficult it takes time dedication and formal education. If it was easy it wouldnt be worth doing. I am very protective of that...

  16. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    ann945n replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Next time she brings it up in front of someone that you are both nurses I would politely correct her and say, Well not really my friend here is medical assistant and I am a registered Nurse we both...

  17. a question - when nurses can't get your blood - is this common?

    ann945n replied to Sand Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I see no problem with it as long as someone is supervisisn the patient so its done correctly, why do so many attempts when they can do so easily. Seems simple enough to

  18. Not sure which job to take

    ann945n replied to amberfnp's topic in General Nursing

    I would stay where I was. If this current employer really wants you to stay and will work with you that sounds like the situation you will want to be in with a new baby and a busy school schedule. A...

    ann945n replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I have this problem still. I sometimes get very worried about details and if I did things right. Its something I am trying to master so it doesnt interfer with my life at home. Id hate to say dont go...

  20. Staying in touch with pt after discharge

    ann945n replied to Texas Tornado's topic in General Nursing

    I would NEVER. I know many nurses who have personal relationships with patients, visit them at their homes and go out with them socially. It really is a boundary line that shouldnt be crossed. The...

  21. Waive benefits for an increase in base pay?

    ann945n replied to username2008's topic in Emergency

    I would sit and do the math. I currently pay for my own insurance seperate from my employer for about 50 dollars a month. Its nice coverage with no dental or vision though. I have had some dental work...

  22. CNA certification/ Nursing School

    ann945n replied to rntobe4's topic in General Nursing

    ann945n replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    ann945n replied to smilin4ever's topic in General Nursing
