  1. What Do Nurses Want?

    llg replied to medihacks907's topic in General Nursing

    I think there might be some beginner-level students who would be interested in that kind of learning games. But the experienced nurses that I work with find such things too basic. Both the game...

  2. How do I work study and be a mom full time

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

    I almost hate to take the conversation in this direction, but ... What kind of financial aid have you explored? Once you get divorced and won't have your husband's income, will you be eligible for...

  3. Writing doctors orders without an actual doctors order

    llg replied to Toadroad's topic in Critical Care

    I would not be practicing medicine without a license. If anything went wrong, the RN's would be in big trouble. If there is a need for nurses to make some independent judgements beyond the scope...

  4. Any educators have...

    llg replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Interesting ... we have had students go to WGU and their faculty have told them they DON'T need any kind of affiliation agreement to complete their assignments. However, we have recently looked at...

  5. Would you hire?

    llg replied to Traveler0202's topic in Nurse Management

    I don't have a problem with any one of those questions ... but I would caution you about asking them all at once, one right after the other. It can make it sound as if you only care about yourself...

  6. ADN vs Bsn

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

    Welcome to allnurses. If you do a search of this website, you will find many threads (discussions) that discuss that very question. Most people believe that the answer to that question depends on...

  7. Wisdom Teeth Removal

    llg replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Glad it went well. But to be realistic ... you'll probably be needing pain medication over the next few days. Don't over-do it. Be

  8. What undergrad bsn nursing should I go to? Does school rank matter?

    llg replied to Azhe5298's topic in General Students

    In your case, the prestige factor is unlikely to matter much in the long run. Both are good schools with good reputations. Going to school in New York might have some advantages to getting a job...

  9. Graduating with MSN-Education

    llg replied to carhlrswife's topic in Nursing Career

    I am an adjunct faculty member in an online program. I got the job because the school is in the area I live ... and I knew several members of the faculty because we work together at a local...

  10. Biggest weakness

    llg replied to Sunshine54327's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I do. I usually ask them what weaknesses they have that they need to work on -- or what aspects of nursing do they need to improve? I don't have a standard way for phrase it. An applicant...

  11. MSN Credentials

    llg replied to arbasham3363's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  12. How to tell managers that you are interested?

    llg replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Don't wait until after you have graduated to say something. Say something now, while you are doing your preceptorship in that unit. Either go up to you an introduce yourself ... or leave a...

  13. Biggest weakness

    llg replied to Sunshine54327's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's not why I ask that question. I honestly want to know what an applicant's learning needs are. If an applicant is "playing a game" with me ... I'm probably not going to offer them the

  14. Do certifications count as CNE's?

    llg replied to RNthenDoc's topic in General Nursing

    Virginia is another state that accepts national certification in a specialty as evidence that you have kept

  15. Trouble Finding Work

    llg replied to FatElvis's topic in Men in Nursing

    He doesn't have to graduate ... just enter a program to make his resume look good. Once he is hired, he can quit. However, I admit that there are some areas in the country where it would not be...

  16. Can you work full-time as an RN and work towards your bachelors with WGU?

    llg replied to rysharp5's topic in Western Governors University

    I would say it depends on a lot of individual factors that I don't know about you. I've known some people who have sped right through WGU with no problems. They got a decent education at a...

  17. Using PTO to work part time

    llg replied to chipper_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been doing that for the past year. Since I earn approximately 1 day of PTO every pay period ... and I have the maximum amount of time saved up in my PTO bank ... I have to "use it or lose...

  18. How much PTO does everyone get?

    llg replied to Camino77's topic in General Nursing

    That sound like the way my employer does it. For new employees working full time, it adds up to about 3.5 weeks per year. For people who have been here 10 years, you max out at a rate that equals...

  19. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    llg replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Other reasons nurses should not accept gifts: 1. Other families my feel bad that they can't afford to give gifts. 2. Other families may also feel that their loved one will get a lower level of care...

  20. Many interviews for school but continue to get rejected..is it age??? Please help!

    llg replied to CCUnurse18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You said that you got accepted into a school in Florida. Why didn't you go there? Why did you bother to apply there if you were not willing to go there? Perhaps you are the one being too picky....

  21. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    llg replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I have compassion for the person addicted to nicotine that is very similar to the compassion I have for people who are addicted to other substances -- be they hard drugs, caffeine, food or whatever....

  22. Are student loans worth it???

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

    You've gotten some good advice from the previous responders. You have a lot of options. I can understand wanting that classic "college experience" of living on campus in a dorm, etc. I had it...

  23. Biggest weakness

    llg replied to Sunshine54327's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As someone who interviews people ... I hate any answer that sounds too reheorificed and perhaps, not true. So, I usually ask follow-up questions to assure that the person is not giving me a "made...

  24. BSN to MSN programs

    llg replied to gmsal971's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the programs for FNP have switched form the MSN to the DNP level. If you are looking at individual schools to see what programs they offer, you might not be finding them at the MSN level at...
