At current we have 23-24 beds per unit. We always have at least 4 staff per unit. At least 2 what is considered licensed staff, at least one being RN, the other could be RN or LPN, and then the other two could be RN, LPN or CNA. RN is charge then ...
My son attends the same private school the wife and I did and there is not a nurse there either. They do have a policy concerning emergency contacts, permission to send the child to the ER and medication administration. We sign that we give the scho...
Yes I've heard of this but would be easily challenged because what is negative to some is not to others. We are told about being professional at work but again what is professional to some is not to others. When I'm making or stating an opinion I m...

Your grants and loans are based on your cost of living along with your tuition, books, fee, etc. You can take the whole amount, just remember if you get a loan you will need to pay it back with interest. Grants are free.

You will get different answers depending on what state you want to work and what nursing career path you take, what hours you work, sign on bonuses, shift diffs, insurances, etc. I think there is a website something like salary wizard which should g...
You would have to look at what death means to you? Is it just that the person is gone or did they go to a better place? Did they live a good long life, is their suffering gone, etc.? It is not wrong to be emotional with the loss but to be hestaric...

I haven't heard of any problems with any type of RN who has a MD license in regards to Diploma, ASN, BSN, etc., unless the job is management and requires a BSN and then sometimes they will let years of experience cover the years of schooling. I pers...
Wish your dad well and know where you are coming from... I was the son of a mother who had a knee replacement and would not think to ask for all things needed when the RN/CNA/LPN was in the room. 5-10 mins later she would be on the call light. I e...
You did nothing wrong and if the doctor ordered it for a normal reason then there should not be a problem. More than likely if she would have said no we can't give it, the doctor would have been on the phone to the unit sup or manager and it would h...
I feel the same way about that doctor. Pharmacy goes by what the doctor writes, if there is a question about it then the doctor needs to clarify. And don't worry about the med error, it happens to the best of nurses. And many will cover it up or t...

Alot of management at least in my experience, and just not nursing, don't want the confrontation. They will say things that make it sound as if it was your problem and you don't know how to handle it but in all reality they want you to work it out w...
I know that when we are going through nursing school it is a proud time not only for us but our family and friends. How many times did someone find out you were in nursing school or a nurse and ask you all sorts of health questions? And then during...

Although this person may be what you call a Bully, is he a good nurse? Not to defend him but I've worked with doctors who are complete a** but when it comes to knowing what to do I would rather have them then some who don't have a clue. It's true t...
I personally don't have a problem with it but in todays society young men with teenage girls is not a good mix. I also wouldn't want to put myself in that position to be accused of something. I would always want to have a female staff member with m...

How many DON and or other leadership people would be fired or demoted due to this. Anymore it seems to be the time you've been at a place, who you know or who they can control.

Sorry I miss understood who you speaking of using the illegal drugs. I would report it to the security department at the hospital who should then report the finding to the law enforcement agency in your area. They could bring charges not only for t...

llg made some good points. Everyone wants to pass the buck. Start at the bottom and work your way up. If all else fails and your not happy then I would pack up and leave. If you are that valued then they will give in. Unfortunately for me workin...
