  1. OMG I just got fired...what now?

    itsmyturn replied to NurseSarah86's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry your having a rough time. You have got to find yourself some common ground and remember that your a new nurse...I would never accept jobs likes these just coming out of school because I...

  2. NA's not professionals

    itsmyturn replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, it is not about the title you hold, but how willing you are to become a team member that is willing to put everything to make the "whole" better. So what if the CNA does not know as much...

  3. NA's not professionals

    itsmyturn replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, it is amazing that people are treating each other like this, especially when no matter what school you went to, what you went there for, how much you paid or the title you received when...

  4. Question for those doing clinicals LPN school

    itsmyturn posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This question is for those who are doing their clinicals. When you start clinicals, do they ask you where you are interested in working and try to place you in that facility? Do they offer clinical...

  5. Would It Be Better To Be A Lpn First, Then Go For Rn?

    itsmyturn replied to wannabaRN's topic in LPN to RN

    I guess it depends on your school. In the community college where I got some of my pre-reqs finished, there were not two separate programs, only the R.N. program and one waiting list that put the...

  6. LPN to RN - Can't afford it!

    itsmyturn replied to nursesherry's topic in General Nursing

    In Tennessee, most R.N.s have to sign a three-year contract to pay it back...I agree, well worth it to go to school. Look into other hospitals before you decide to go back to school, get situated in...

  7. Would It Be Better To Be A Lpn First, Then Go For Rn?

    itsmyturn replied to wannabaRN's topic in LPN to RN

    Yeah, I have to waste my money and go the LPN route because I am not able to go to a 4 yr university like some here, lucky you. The LPN route for me was about being able to take it slow by being able...

  8. Should A Future LPN Become Certified In Nursing Assistance?

    itsmyturn posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am currently enrolled in a CNA class to gain points towards the LPN class and gain general knowledge to help in the LPN class. I don't plan to work in the CNA field. Should I become certified even...

  10. Should A Future LPN Become Certified In Nursing Assistance?

    itsmyturn replied to itsmyturn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks so much, everyone...great info. I guess since I went to all the trouble to get it, 85 more bucks to be certified isn't going to kill me. And, if something happens to where I don't get into...

  11. Can we talk about MRSA?

    itsmyturn replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    Our teacher tells us that the CDC defines hand hygiene as handwashing with either plain soap or antiseptic soap and water and using alcohol-based hand rubs after your hands are clean to get the...

  12. poll for all nurses/students?

    itsmyturn replied to Bubbles0605's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, I am 40 and chose the LPN route because I need the work/educational experience before I tackle the R.N. phase of nursing. I have stayed home, caring for my family so it has been a long time! I...

  13. theft of my scope

    itsmyturn replied to dvfd365's topic in General Nursing

    I just received a Litmann as a gift for my nursing school...if someone takes it, I am going to do more than bite!!! So, tell me, what is the best way to avoid your stethoscope from walking off besides...

  14. Can we talk about MRSA?

    itsmyturn replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    You know, our instructor taught us that you wash your hands then apply the sanitizer...it is not one or the other like I thought. As far as MRSA, they need something to talk about on the news...

    itsmyturn replied to ANG_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you lost your precious child, I lost my daughter at 4 1/2 months. Even though it was 17 yrs ago, I am still able to feel the immense pain when a person tells me they lost a baby..the...

  16. perfect job

    itsmyturn replied to newlvngrad's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about a school nursing job? Because it seems that time is more important than any other aspect of the job for you, their jobs float right along with the school. Check with the school...

  17. CNA Lecture Online?

    itsmyturn replied to checkmate's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would not go the online route just because you need to have the labs and clinicals to make sure you know your on the right track. Maybe the program your talking about is not a certified class?...

  18. Why does my Nursing student friend get offended??

    itsmyturn replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I have people in my school that are like that. I believe that because nursing school - getting in and staying there is so competetive that things you say could keep you from getting there or make it...
