    MelodyRNurse replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If they don't want to take the time to explain these things to you during your training. Do not expect things to change when you get out on your own. I had a similar experience with my training in...

  4. State of nursing career in america?

    MelodyRNurse replied to philanurse2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Seriously consider why nurses make the kind of money they make. It is not easy money, and a lot of nurses are underpaid. Do some research.

  6. 6/18-done!

    MelodyRNurse replied to jodyangel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Jodi, I think if you don't pass it will just continue to say pending, and they will send you a breakdown of how you did in the mail. I don't know about the permit though. Don't get to anxious if you...

  8. Anybody ever heard of Tai chii therapy?

    MelodyRNurse replied to Wave's topic in General Nursing

    I used to take tai chi in a martial arts studio. I also took kickboxing aerobics and kung fu. Tai chi was the hardest at this school. It was focused on strength, discipline, and how to manipulate...

  9. Advice needed

    MelodyRNurse replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    That is really unfortunate. I wanted to transfer to a different school too, but I would have to repeat all clinical courses and I refuse to do that. I would definitely suggest contacting the board...

  10. Med Techs work under your license?

    MelodyRNurse replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was offered a position at an assisted living facility. I am a new LPN and they wanted me to be responsible for over 70 people with no one else in the building. They justified that by using the med...

  11. Crazy stuff can happen

    MelodyRNurse replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    Second one is still embarassing and happened nearly 10 years ago. I was working night shift in a nursing home. There were only 3 staff in the building, 2 CNA's and myself. The CNA's were down the...

  12. What do you do about insane wait lists?

    MelodyRNurse replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I waited a year, but I had to move two hours from my home. I had to change my whole life, but the waiting list where I lived before was 3-4 years and I couldn't wait. I would probably still be on...

  13. Venipuncture in LPN school?

    MelodyRNurse replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

  14. Rehire after termination?

    MelodyRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is embarrassing, but I really need help. I was terminated from a non-nursing position a few years ago at a facility I really really want to work at when I graduate. I was a new parent, it was my...

  15. Rehire after termination?

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Its suburban and it is a huge facility. I wish it was rural because I would have more of a chance of actually talking to a human being instead of a recording or an answering machine. Thanks for...

  16. My school Sucks!

    MelodyRNurse replied to MedicGA's topic in General Nursing

    They made it through the entire program and you think they should be thrown out because they failed one test! I don't think thats fair at all. That test probably causes people a lot of stress and...

  17. Rehire after termination?

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am positive I could get rehired in that department, because she offered me a position when she gave me a letter of recommendation, a couple years ago. I don't know if shes still there, but maybe...

  18. What to do when on the hit list????

    MelodyRNurse replied to brwneyegal's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice nurses? Wow. That is really sad. I would have to agree with one of the other posters. The nurse who told you got you all stirred up and maybe she was just trying to help, but you didn't...

  19. I Feel Like A Dummie

    MelodyRNurse replied to calcap34's topic in General Nursing

    If you never try, you will never know if you can do it or not. If you don't make it at least you tried. TRY it. You will probably develop a support system with other students and staff. After all,...

  23. When should enough be enough?

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for the support and encouragement, I really needed that. It's easy to get caught up in all the chaos and forget why I'm doing this in the first place. I also forget how fortunate I am...

  24. When should enough be enough?

    MelodyRNurse replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If I leave the area and transfer schools I will have to start at the begining of thier ADN program. I have looked into transfering credits, they will take my pre-reqs, but not my ADN courses. I was...
