  1. Gloves in the hall

    oeue2007 replied to brwneyegal's topic in General Nursing

    IMO this is one of those theoretical edicts from on high that sounds good and makes sense IF you also spend the $$$$ to implement it properly. HA! That would involve hampers in every room and...

  2. Please help me with my career choice!

    oeue2007 replied to MrsSportcat's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BFA in Illustration just finished LPN and will start RN this summer. I started in Surg Tech then decided it was just too limited. I'm a little different in that I was in a BSN program 20...

  3. Report in the pt's room?

    oeue2007 replied to 1BunnyRN's topic in General Nursing

    We're supposed to be doing this too. (Key word "supposed".) When we pretend to be doing it, I have seen it frighten and confuse some of the patients because they think their condition has...

  4. Night support staff optional? Is this common?

    oeue2007 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a brand new nurse working 12's at night on a 28-bed floor. Typically there are 4 nurses, 1 tech and 1 HUC. I'm finding it's not unusual for them to just not schedule a tech or a secretary here...

  5. Is this normal?

    oeue2007 replied to alexan18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm orienting right now with two different preceptors. (Knock wood, so far it's been the same two.) One has 20+ years exp., the other, one year. Time is divided about 2:1 between them. Gotta say,...

  6. LPN-RN One Day/Week Bridge program in GA?

    oeue2007 posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    ABAC in Tifton has an LPN to RN fast-track transition program where once you're into nursing classes you meet only one killer day/week from 8AM to 11PM for one year. Does anyone know of other LPN-RN...

  7. LPN-RN One Day/Week Bridge program in GA?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I think it's A&P I & II and Microbiology that are required. The one-day does only start in Summer at ABAC. Darton College in Albany now offers their one-day to LPNs also (under Healthcare...

  8. LPN-RN One Day/Week Bridge program in GA?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Not hard to get into ABAC but possibly tough to get into the one-day program. I just got my notice that I wasn't accepted for it (I have 3 pre-reqs left to take) but I was accepted for the regular...

  9. Who Would You Hire?

    oeue2007 replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    A classmate of mine (LPN) just took a position doing in-home initial assessments of at-risk elderly and disabled. Involves almost no physical labor, in fact she is required to wear business casual...

  10. LPN-RN One Day/Week Bridge program in GA?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I haven't heard of another school in Georgia with the one-day option. Darton In Albany has this option for Paramedic-to-RN and their web site says they are reworking their LPN-RN program. That would...

  11. 2nd degree BSN program vs associates or traditional 4 year BSN

    oeue2007 replied to Dino's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm looking at similar options also with CRNA as the long-term goal. One advantage I've found to the accel. option is that the 4-year college can transfer more of my credits. Two-year schools don't...

  12. LPN-RN One Day/Week Bridge program in GA?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the info! I did apply for summer semester. I've only heard good things about ABAC and their nursing program. Particularly that their faculty seems to care. I heard the opposite about...

  13. Ordering from Jasco Uniforms

    oeue2007 replied to aerorunner80's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just went through this with Sears.com (no merchandise, no refund) and worked on it (in other words got the runaround) for two months. I finally got fed up and filed a complaint with the Better...

  14. FELLOW Nurses please help with this dilema. I am so upset!

    oeue2007 replied to sweetnurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    Mean people s***! This bunch seems to be stating loud and clear that they don't value YOU so it doesn't really matter what happens with new girl. I would be using all that "free" time they've stuck...

  15. NONCOMPLIANCE, why be at the big H? in the first place?

    oeue2007 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive the newbie for going off-topic but the last post reminded me of how irritating it was in school to be marked down for writing about a PATIENT instead of a CLIENT. What am I, an accountant?...

  16. Anyone ever worked 7 on/7 off shift?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Nursing Career

    That's the schedule - 5 8's & 2 12's. I'll have to clarify the pay because I'm sure it would be exhausting to HAVE to pick up shifts in your off week to get the hours. Thanks for the
