    NursePeace replied to kgheen09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    NursePeace replied to 08gal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    UUUGGHHH....this brings back so many bad memories. This time last year I was in the same boat. I had 46 residents, on days, 12 hour shifts so all meals, no tx nurse. I actually posted about some of my...

  10. Concerns with brand new nurses

    NursePeace replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Clearly, I have noooo problem being rude when needed. No need to "hide" behind anything. Do you HONESTLY think every new nurse should be a nurse?? I dont know where you live, but in my city schools...

    NursePeace replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  14. Concerns with brand new nurses

    NursePeace replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well its not really small anymore, but crappy yes. Brown Mackie. There are facilities in my city that wont hire you if your resume has Brown mackie on it. I think they are trying to improve now. But...

  15. Concerns with brand new nurses

    NursePeace replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think I myself made it pretty clear that Im too am a new nurse. I definently never claimed to be a veteran. As far as the rest of your reply, you took the words right outta my mouth or better yet my...

  16. Any info on Galen college??

    NursePeace posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well Ive been on the fence for about a year where to take my RN classes. At home?? At a nursing school?? Or a traditional college?? At this point anywhere that has a LPN to RN bridge is a okay in my...

  17. Concerns with brand new nurses

    NursePeace replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This thread doesnt really pertain to the phrase nurses eat their young. I am the young sooooo... I too am a VERY caring nurse. It just sucks seeing alot of nurses who arent and then on top of that...

  18. Concerns with brand new nurses

    NursePeace replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with all of your opinions but, I do believe alot of the "ignorance" is directly related to these small nursing schools who charge out the wazooo with no entrance exams and really arent...

  20. Is it a good idea to be a CNA before being an RN???

    NursePeace replied to SweetLadyJ's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes, I have met good nurses who havent been aides/techs. BUT, you can for sure tell the difference. One of my bosses says she cant help the aides because she hasnt been "trained" to do that. UMMMM...

  21. Missing narcs. Being blamed!

  22. Missing narcs. Being blamed!

    NursePeace replied to ryny143's topic in General Nursing

    I posted a thread yesterday and had a couple of "not getting the whole story" comments. I find this very rude. Almost as though Im being called a liar. Nobody is forcing a comment from you, so if you...

  23. Is it a good idea to be a CNA before being an RN???

    NursePeace replied to SweetLadyJ's topic in General Nursing

    Having to be a cna before you can start nursing school in my state doesnt mean you have to work as one. As far as being treated badly by nurses, its usually the nurses that have never been an aide....

  24. Anyone have/had a PERSONAL Loan??

    NursePeace replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

  25. Missing narcs. Being blamed!

    NursePeace replied to ryny143's topic in General Nursing

    Lawyer, ASAP!! I would find it VERY hard to prove. The facility should be in trouble for not having a proper procedure in place for narcotics. Even if there is no where to sign, I find a place. I...
