  1. Ethical Question

    llg replied to JK123's topic in General Nursing

    Yes ... assuming that your immediate supervisor is the proper person to report it to. To simply let the improper behavior go on to who knows what end would be a violation of your obligation to...

  2. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    llg replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would have pressed charges from the beginning. If you company tries to hurt you because you press charges ... you would almost certainly have a case against. Talk to a lawyer about the relevant...

  3. Job opportunities for entry level MSN grad?

    llg replied to secondcareernurse's topic in Nursing Career

    If I were in your position, I would get an entry-level MSN. However, I would expect to get a job as an entry-level staff nurse when I graduated, not an MSN level job. I have known lots of people...

  4. Another lost new grad

    llg replied to LostNewGrad23's topic in General Nursing

    In Georgia, you would be living with your aunt and uncle. So you would not be without a support system. If they are willing to let you live with them, they would probably provide you with some...

  5. What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    llg replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    1. You are paying to be guided in your learning - to have a teacher facilitate your learning by providing you with information and guiding you to learn the things that are most important -- to be...

  6. Considering changing careers

    llg replied to ShannonMH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to be very careful in your choice of schools. I don't know the schools in New York ... but do your research before making any commitments. You are exactly the type of student who is...

  7. Unfair Tests?

    llg replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    I am the product of a "concept-based curriculum" from back in the 1970's. It's been around for a long time and has stood the test of time. Patients (and real-life situations) don't present...

  8. Graduating MSN Education....now what?

    llg replied to SunSandSurf's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    From your post, it sounds like you have been away from clinical practice for a few years. That fact may make it difficult for you to get a job doing any kind of clinical teaching for a school --...

  9. Should I accept Johns Hopkins Offer?

    llg replied to nursethp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations on making a decision! Sometimes, just talking or writing it out helps you to clarify the issues. Good luck at Hopkins. I am happy for

  10. Should I accept Johns Hopkins Offer?

    llg replied to nursethp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    How much money will you lose if you say "yes" to Hopkins and then change your mind if you get into Chapel Hill? If it is not all that much money, I'd give that option serious consideration. If...

  11. You should never ask a nurse this question.

    llg replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that it is a perfectly reasonable question to ask a nurse. Particularly some nurses about whom there are some factors that would lead people to think that the nurse might have wanted to be a...

  12. Is this weird? New employee occupational health.

    llg replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    That is not exactly true. If Occupational Health does not share your personal information with your actual supervisor (and a lot of other folks within the system), then Occ Health is allowed to...

  13. Med school?

    llg replied to alyssaaw94's topic in Nursing Career

    There are nurses who go to med school. So yes, you can do that. However, you will need to take all of the courses that medical schools want you to take in order to qualify for entry into their med...

  14. Is it the idea of NPs in general Dr. Leah Houston is disgusted with?

    llg replied to the VEGAN Professor's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been misdiagnosed by an NP and on another occasion, by a physician. Both instances had consequences for me. My brother had serious consequences after being misdiagnosed by a PA. We are an...

  15. While we were arguing; We disappeared

    llg replied to Yep, Me's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work for now has something like that. Big, clear single word job titles right under the name tag. "RN" "RT" "Doctor"

  16. Help!!! New grad military spouse

    llg replied to Valley_girl1021's topic in General Nursing

    If things don't work out as you hope ... you might consider a compromise. You graduate in June. You get a US job in the summer and keep it for a year or two while your husband goes to Germany....

  17. Can I still go to be an RN, despite having so many useless credits and bad grades?

    llg replied to Lavieluv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you have hurt your chances of being accepted into a reputable nursing school ... but that doesn't mean your situation is hopeless. You'll need to explore the entry requirements of the various...

  18. How do I demonstrate critical thinking in an interview?

    llg replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'll give you a little help here. What Sour Lemon is asking you to think through is that we can't possibly give you a good answer to your question because you did not give us enough information....

  19. Do American nurses need orders for everything they do?

    llg replied to GE90's topic in General World

    For the most part, yes, almost all of the activities you listed above would be part of the physician's orders in an American hospital. A few things, like routine hygiene measures, turning the...

  20. Seniority and preferential scheduling

    llg replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    You are not getting punished. You are simply not be rewarded for having a track record of good performance. The institution doesn't "owe you anything" yet because you haven't served for very long....

  21. Wanting an affordable/convenient education, not just a piece of paper

    llg replied to jlh18's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You raise a good point. I teach in a BSN completion program and wouldn't want to be teaching in one of the "just check off the boxes programs." I recommend looking at reputable schools that have an...

  22. Seniority and preferential scheduling

    llg replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    I think this post goes a bit too far -- taking a legitimate point and emphasizing it too much. Long-term employees may not always be stellar ones, but they have been serving "well enough" for a long...

  23. Ridiculous class schedule, please help

    llg replied to PrinPrin2's topic in General Students

    There is something I am not understanding here. Do all students in your program have to take that same course load? If not, why are you being scheduled that way? Are you not taking the standard...

  24. I’m in a toxic relationship with the ER

    llg replied to Wbm33's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree with JKL33. Learning to work in a stressful environment without stressing yourself and burning out is a process that often takes a while -- and considerable change in the way you see...

  25. Work asking all the time if I can work extra At work and home

    llg replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I always used, "Sorry, I have other plans." What those other plans might have been were none of their business. I think you are lucky if they are asking you well in advance as you describe them...
