    Washington Hospital Center

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I received an email a few days after submitting the application. I guess a general "follow up". It asked questions like what is the name of the hospital that you completed your final clinical (what...

    Renting or buying nursing books?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to bnvia1983's topic in Chamberlain College

    I bought most of my textbooks from Chegg or Amazon. Amazon allows you to rent a book for a semester (which may be a little tricky for some students who attend schools that are not on the traditional 2...

    How far do you travel to get to work?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to born2circulateRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I drive about 40 minutes to get to my job. I'm about to finish a LPN-BSN program so I'm applying everywhere in the country lol.. My area ( DC metro ) is heavily saturated with

    MD screaming at RN's in front of patients regularly

    KimberlyRN89 replied to AtivanIM's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish I could like this twice!! But I agree with the consensus that it's a good idea to job hunt while you're still employed. Don't feel trapped..this isn't a healthy atmosphere

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    I agree! Our program is one of the few around in our area that had a class on Dosage Calculations. Although I took that class in November of 2010, I still kept the book & occasionally look at it...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    It's always sad to know that those who start with you may not finish with you.

    CNAs working in corrections

    KimberlyRN89 replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, but you don't have to worry about cleaning up people, or dealing with family members and fussy management breathing down your neck

    CNAs working in corrections

    KimberlyRN89 replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on what the CNA is "allowed" to do at that particular facility. They're all so different so it's hard to say. We don't employ CNA's at my jail, so I couldn't really provide a good answer....

    How many of you here wear ted/support hose to work?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to violet_violet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Do you have a local scrub/uniform store? They usually keep them behind the counter. Also, you can find them on amazon.com or any scrub/uniform

    LPN considering corrections

    KimberlyRN89 replied to CarliMoua's topic in Correctional

    I turned down a job at another county jail b/c of this. Doing blood sugars would be fine, honestly. But on top of taking vitals, the HUGE med pass, doing screenings for new inmates, and all the...

    Rant: I already hate my job

    KimberlyRN89 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sometimes I would go into detail, but that's not a good idea. Lately I would just say that it wasn't a good fit, or I wanted to experience more than just long term care..something very generic like...

    Rant: I already hate my job

    KimberlyRN89 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think I bailed after two months. By then I had more than enough experience & got three job offers. Don't stay at a place if you're miserable. It will show in your ability to provide adequate...

    Brand new corrections nurse!

    KimberlyRN89 replied to cchezem15's topic in Correctional

    Hi there! The city jail was my first LPN job too. I've been there almost two months. It's pretty cool so far. At my facility we are mainly responsible for the med pass (there are 3 of them at 9am,...

    New LPN & Can't get a job

    KimberlyRN89 replied to NurseKay16's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I landed a job after a month & a half. Some things I did was: change my resume a bit, expand my job search radius, and apply to any place that hired LPNS ( I applied at nursing homes, hospitals,...

    Studying RN questions ok for preparing for LVN Nclex?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to jjangels's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. Don't study RN nclex questions, because there a lot of questions that focus on your scope as an LPN. Some study guides I recommend: Saunders has an excellent NCLEX book for LPN's. NSCBN has a...

    Being an ugly nurse

    KimberlyRN89 replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    - This picture used to be my background on my computer. I thought I'd share it with you. Like others have mentioned, it doesn't matter how you look. The only thing that matters is that you are a...

    How to study/learn medications

    KimberlyRN89 replied to cindirella3's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Having a drug manual will help too. I was a bit rusty as well when I first started my job (didn't have a lot of experience with the psych meds) but I did remember the classes. It helps to remember...

    How many of you here wear ted/support hose to work?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to violet_violet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I didn't really have the achy leg problem when I was a CNA, but when I got my first nursing job my legs ached SO bad ! I had to buy compression stockings, and they rock :) And I got some Nikes, they...
