    $500 for a lab work???

    shannonFNP replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion is to forward that bill right back to your insurance company. Most insurance companies will often send you these bills so the consumer thinks they have to pay for it when more than...

    GVN-NCLEX Limbo??

    shannonFNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was wondering if anyone might know the answer to this. If you're a GVN (or GN) and you take your NCLEX but haven't received your results yet, can you still work as a graduate while you're waiting?...

    Bsn?

    Nurse Tech

    shannonFNP replied to Crazy_L&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My facility is the same way. After you finish nursing school, you can no longer function as a tech. There are a few weeks from graduation where you have to just wait it out until your GN permit comes...

    CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    shannonFNP replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Administration makes rules, sets out guidelines. But they can't SUPERVISE the nurse, thus being a "nursing superviser". I wouldn't ask administration a question, I would ask my superviser. And I...

    CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    shannonFNP replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would absolutely run the other way screaming if I was informed that my supervisor is a CNA. And this is NOT because of my degree, but simply I think my degree should be the bare minimum for anyone...

    "Secret" HIV Vaccine in use?

    shannonFNP replied to Annisme's topic in General Nursing

    As far as a vaccination, there are entirely too many strains of HIV for one vaccination. If a company went through all of the research and implementation to create a drug powerful enough to protect...

    shannonFNP replied to PedsERRN's topic in General Nursing

    shannonFNP replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you, I'd tell before they found out other ways. People want to hire those that they can trust. If you don't tell anyone you're pregnant, obviously in time they will find out and wonder why...

    Clinical Nurse I, II, III?

    shannonFNP replied to modelmama07's topic in General Nursing

    Around here it has to do with experience. If I went in as a new grad, I'd be an RN I. If I had 10+ years I might be a RN 3 (or whatever the hospital policy is for determining the grade). An RN 3 makes...
