    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am not sure if you are talking about the program that was recently looking for instructors in northern NJ, if it was, I was looking at those ads too! According to the job heading the coursework is...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The problem really lies in the consistancy of programs-LPNs from one program may be great, and others may turn out-self taught from books students. Some current workers may be ready to be RNs, others...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you have read some threads about LPN education at some schools in NJ you'd wonder how any can become functional nurses. One program in which the students were complaining about was charging big...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I know more about scabies than I ever wanted to....the problem is that they don't have to present like the textbook states they do! Norwegian scabies are the worst and hardest to get rid of! My FIL...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Roy Fokker's topic in General Nursing

    I only worked the floor briefly and for the nurses who can place IVs, using evidenced based practice the IV that fits the job is used for infusions. And I believe that is good practice. HOWEVER, ER...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    Again I have to say, "until you have been exposed to scabies unknowingly and not notified when everyone in the rehab your FIL or family member goes to, and you are touching them their sheets and...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    Can you say scabies? Get it once and you will never touch a nursing home, group home, or rehab patient again until YOU ARE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE IT! Trust me,

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You know I think it's just a matter from where you stand, or for that matter how far removed you are from being a student, a newbie, a novice (which I am still considered having less than 5 years...

    Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

    Like everyone else, I'll stop if the accident just occurred, or no one else has responded. My stop begins with that 911 call. Even though I work ER and keep a blanket, glove and some stuff in my...

    Wow JB you really must have had a bad time! I work with a lot of male nurses, and I can honestly say I've never seen anything like you are talking about-then again, if I saw it I'd wouldn't put up...

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ruby is a 100% correct in her assessment of attitudes, however it doesn't only affect new graduates. In the ER we have a fairly long orientation 20-24 weeks for new grads and 6 weeks for experienced...

    Triage at the bedside

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in Emergency

    If we have an open bed the patient goes to it regardless of acuity. How can you know how sick they are? Additionally, we are not set up for immediate response as our ER appears that is was laid out...

    LPNs and RNs---does your hospital see a difference?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well now there is more of a difference in NJ-Saint Clare's system is laying off 700 people-yesterday I heard a great majority were the LPNs-many of which knew people in my ER. They only want RN's in...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to eriksoln's topic in Emergency

    My thing is we need to work together for continuity of care. I make sure my orders are started if I got them before I received the bed....I also medicate for pain, feed and do whatever else if I can....
