1. Don't do the physicians work!

   Mollypita replied to ModernRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I work Med/Surg and I agree with much of this. I understand the need for occasional verbal orders in ER or ICU, but as the OP suggests, they are often given on my floor as the MD is running out the...

3. Relocation

   Mollypita replied to ruthalittle's topic in Nevada Nursing

   I live in the southwest of Las Vegas and we love it (moved here in August). I work in home health per diem (private duty) with Maxim Healthcare, and they are often hiring. You can apply online,...

4. Food Insecurity and Child Malnutrition in the United States

   Mollypita replied to TheCommuter's topic in Pediatric

   In most places there are food banks and churches willing to help, if families don't qualify for food stamps. But most of them should, if they're really low income (although the program is getting cut...

5. Passed cpne at grady!

   Mollypita replied to nursemami4's topic in Excelsior College

   Awesome!! I did it in 2007 and was so mentally and physically exhausted I really couldn't appreciate my victory for days... but it's worth it!! Prepare for the boards, but know that they are "just...

6. Excelsior Graduates/ Students Support Excelsior Maryland

   Mollypita replied to ltsgnn's topic in Excelsior College

   Sad situation. I was one of the last Excelsior grads licensed in Maryland in 2008. I recommend the program regardless of what certain BON's think. Although future students certainly need to...

7. The Excelsior College Distance Learning ADN Program: Facts, Answers, and Links

   Mollypita replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

   Oh my, thinking of that CPNE six years ago still gives me chills... I was so horribly stressed I felt like I was in the twilight zone. And everything that could go wrong did- I locked my keys in the...

8. Transfer of Excelsior credits to BSN program

   Mollypita replied to Medic625's topic in Excelsior College

   I've noticed that too, and finally decided to just stick with Excelsior for my BSN to avoid the problem. I'm not far into the program, so I'd be curious what others have to

9. Why is CA BRN too picky?

   Mollypita replied to Nurse_AngelaNV2CA's topic in California Nursing

   Angela, I'm wondering if you've found any further information on this. I am an Excelsior grad working in Maryland, and I now have 3 years experience in Med-Surg/Oncology. I'm possibly getting...

10. Hourly rounding signoff sheet

    Mollypita replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain!! They are so absurd... not to mention the script about "excellent care" that was supposed to go with them (which we've all basically ignored at my hospital). Frankly, I think it's...

11. Would you switch to nights to make alot more money?

    Mollypita replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    I already did, and have no regrets. However, I had experience working night shift, so the staying awake part wasn't a problem like it is for some people. Why make less for the same number of...

12. Taking a break from Nursing

    Mollypita replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    Schmoo, not sure if you've tried private duty but if not, consider it. I did it for years and the money made is significantly lower than in a facility, but so is the stress! If you find the right...

13. So sick of this attitude....

    Mollypita replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    A little off topic again, but it saddens me so much that things are still this way in the south. One of the main reasons I would never live there, no offense to you southerners. I'm so glad you...

14. Why would I NOT help? I'm confused.

    Mollypita replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Jeez... I cannot imagine a physician cleaning a patient, or anything of the sort!! It must be different in teaching hospitals, but in the small community ones it would not happen!! An NP seems more...

15. I work in a hell hole!!!

    Mollypita replied to LilNurse2b143's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct, this load is NOT safe! You are absolutely risking your license every day. It's fine for the previous poster to say ask for help (I'm all for that) but it sounds like everyone else...
