I just had to join the conversation. In total agreement with all previous responses from Kitiger, amoLucia, Crystal Wings and the others. I highly suggest that you go way, way back in the private duty and home health subforums and research numerous...

As I was told one time by a wise colleague, "You can be right, and you can be dead right".

Unless a drastic change, (have not looked on the CA BVNPT site lately), there is a form that must be filled out by the nursing school that basically summarizes the hours, etc., that is submitted (along with the supporting transcripts)------- Thi...

Just a first impression: how can a person have a readiness for better nutrition when all they can concentrate on is getting that next breath? JMHO Sorry! Reread your OP -- mild. My comment above probably does not apply here.

I believe the list on the BRN website is only for programs originated in the state of CA.

Instead of just offering money, why don't they provide non-punitive rest leaves for recharging, paid, even if only at half pay, or 3/4 pay rates? Maybe if these people could rest, some of them might stick with the jobs.

Find it unfortunate to have to say that in my experience, there has never been a positive outcome for anyone in such a situation or a similar one. If my own life circumstances were different, I would leave nursing. As it stands, that is not a possi...

Well, there's the standard "I don' wanna!"

Unless they plan on terminating someone from day shift out of the blue, there won't be a day shift opening up any time soon. If I were the OP, I would continue my job search.

If that course is a requirement for any program you plan on applying to, you have to retake it. Required courses won't be accepted unless C or higher grade.

Well, since you admit you are not up to the job and are expressing a defeatist attitude in this post, you could always resign. Not saying this to be snarky either. Resigning is an option for these thought processes.

Since you may have lost the job anyway, I would contact them and tell them what happened when you approached the manager. They should be able to see where the problem lies, if not, then it might not be a good move for you.

Be very careful as the instructor could very well use this turn of events to keep you from successfully finishing. Some instructors manufacture situations to trip up students that don’t figure out how to cope with the mind games.

Add to the habit of always showing up late, the joy of passive-aggressive, non-veiled, hostility toward the coworker, and you can be certain that person will never come to work on time.

All the news that's fit to tumble dry.

The daughter told the lady from state that she had stopped giving the meds so the lady from state should have involved the doctor to get the meds discontinued, or not. So she wanted to pass the buck to you and still chide you about the matter? Too b...

It has been over eight years since the OP posted this thread and she only posted twice. I certainly hope she is doing better by now.

With you on that last statement. With my respiratory status, I can't breathe as it is without a mask. Wearing a mask makes things that much worse. Glad you are in a peaceful place. Sounds relaxing.

It seems the employer recognized poor practice and is taking steps to rectify the matter by getting rid of the LPNs. At this point if they are crossing the line, not worth the effort to pursue it. Center energies on getting out of there before they t...

If you are getting graded material returned throughout the term, you should be able to establish a passing grade if not a totally accurate letter grade. My granddaughter had this problem one time. There was a substantial discrepancy between her final...

Your wife is jealous. She is trying to put your professional activities down to make herself sound more important. Try to find another line of conversation, maybe something that focuses on 'her'.

Best wishes. Be assured your frame of mind is shared by many.

Historically the Medical Assistant job was created by the medical profession to provide cheap and available labor. Doctors train and take responsibility for Medical Assistants under their supervision.

It is my understanding that many nurses in my home care agency lost their employment when families/patients refused their services over the pandemic. The agency "ran out" of available hours to keep these people working. Not one mention of putting p...

Check out the link. They have added several courses.
