sissiesmama ASN, RN

I agree. My DH and I both went thru the La RNP in the past before we got married. Hubby was able to do IOP after his eval - he went to a facility that had a really good outpt program in north La I lost my health insurance when I was terminated fro...

That's awesome! Hopefully when u graduate they will let y out of the program. Let me know how it goes, and if I can answer anything at all. Anne, RNC

Peanut - sounds like u are doing great! I took Dramamine and Benadryl at times throughout my contract with no problems. It was so nice to get the letter that my DS frequency was changed, and even better to get that golden letter that I had bee rel...

Mine is Sissiesmama - my baby dog is Sissie and I am her mama. Anne, RNC

SO glad it isn't just me being the "band nerd" I played clarinet all thru Jr high. Has and college. I enjoyed marching season more than concert season - I have to say I (a little bit) miss my band days.

Great news! Anne, RNC

Hahahaha! Exactly!

So have u graduated and are a nurse? Are u talking about students coming into your facility for a clinical rotation or are u an instructor? Inn. Infused by your user name - I wasn't sure. I figure when people looked at me as a "pre-nursing" stud...

If I can help at all, answer any questions just let me know! Anne, RNC

Hi OP - my DH and I both are RNs in Louisiana and went thru outlet state's program. We never heard of anyone getting out early, but it's been a while since we got out - I finished in 2004. Unfortunately, the case managers at the time were notoriou...

My thought too- I would definetly start looking for something else. Sounds like the writing's on the wall - I would be scared to work for her after that, worried I would slip up and make some little error and be out on my ear. Anne, RNC

I am SO sorry! You should not have to be dealing with that kind of crap! It's bad enough to put up with that kind of comments from patients and family members, but other staff? No way. Sending u hugs! Let us know what u decide to do - I hope you ar...

Not here in Louisiana either. Anne, RNC

Same here - I worked full time as a ward clerk on a busy med-surf unit at a busy hospital during LPN school then worked full time while l was in my RN program. All but 2 of the students in my graduating class worked full time. Wasn't very comforta...

That's crazy! How bad was it?? Anne, RNC

I hate OGs too!! Anne, RNC

Not mandatory here either yet. I have 2 cousins that have been diagnosed with GBS after their flu vaccines - that makes me nervous. Anne, RNC

Agree with above - I live in Louisiana when I got referred due to using at work, the DON at that hospital suggested I self report and also start attending some AA / NA meetings. Good luck! Anne, RNC

Good luck to all u guys testing or waiting on the. Results! I can remember back taking them. We were the first group of test takers to do so on the computer. We still had to wait -7 or 8 weeks for the results. I tried to work as much as I could, t...

Right! When I gave those meds thru the foley, as soon as I realized what I had just done, I thought I was going to be sick! As my hubby said, kind of a "comedy of errors" type thing. Info could have been better in report, I should have asked more que...

Something that I didn't include in my PP, it's a place like that that would jump on something - any mistake, ect and say - "if she didn't feel safe with her assignment, all she had to do was say something. " Good for you standing up for yourself! A...

Good for you, OP!! I'm glad you handled the situation the was you did. That place sounds like it's NUTS!! I'm guessing you aren't the first person they've had to pull that BS about abandonment - and I figure that's their last ditch effort to keep...

I know I've definetly made some. The worst was crushing the pt's routine meds and giving them via G tube... Right meds, right pt, but the tube I pushed meds they was not a PEG but a foley type DRAINAGE tube to the abdomen. I had gotten in report t...

Hubby and I have been married a little over 11 years - we are both RNs. Before we married we worked on a specialty - type unit together. He got a promotion to our unit manager aAnd I transferred to the ER/Trauma unit at the same facility. I retir...
