   Is it worth it to get certified in infusion therapy when you already have experience on a Med/Surg floor? I feel like I have experience with hanging fluids, antibiotics and with different types of...

2. Precepting new grads

   Leesha posted a topic in Nursing Career

   Has anyone ever been told that evidence based practice suggests that new grads do better when precepted by new nurses? And by a new nurse I mean nurses that have been in practice less than one year....

   Leesha posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

   Just wondering what everyone's policy is regarding supplementing potassium where you work. I work in a large hospital and there is one nurse in particular that insists that everyone's potassium should...

4. How old is too old to become a new RN?

   Leesha replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think age should prevent you from pursuing your passion. Only you know what you are capable of handling. Nursing is very mentally and physically taxing but there are a variety of areas...

5. Staff turnover

   Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing

   First of all you don't have any idea what I have or intend to do to facilitate change. There is a right and wrong way to speak to people whether on a public forum or not. Not everyone has that ability...

6. Staff turnover

   I agree that the managers job is tough and thankless. From what I understand being there less than a year these problems have always existed. I know there are problems everywhere. I appreciate those...

10. Nursing Judgment Vs Surveys

    Leesha replied to Bailey_lou's topic in General Nursing

11. Chamberlain vs. Grand Canyon

    Leesha replied to Lilme04's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I attended Grand Canyon for my BSN. I chose them because they were the least expensive. I had some frustrations along the way. They kept changing their minds in regards to which classes I would get...

13. Title RN/LVN

    Leesha replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Maybe I'm confused but it's always been my understanding get that if you get a higher licensure it trumps all others. So if you had your LPN previously and then obtained your RN then the LPN license...
