  1. University of Louisiana Lafayette (ULL) RN-BSN Experience

    ADNOLOL08 replied to Oiseau_libre's topic in School, College Programs

    I'll just throw in my two cents here. I attended ULL's RN to BSN program and graduated this past December. I thought it was a good program. The classes were not overly difficult, but were time...

  2. RN to BSN Online

    ADNOLOL08 replied to Bezoars's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm a recent graduate from the ULL RN to BSN program, Katie. I think you'll enjoy the program. The professors are very helpful and are interested in helping you advance your educational and...

  3. Did you attend your RN-BSN graduation?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just completed my RN-BSN degree as well. At first I wasn't sure whether I would walk, but now I do plan to attend the commencement ceremony at the end of the year. The school I attended is local,...

  4. hospital broke contract?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to donnaalyssa's topic in General Nursing

    If you remained in full-time status and was simply cancelled/put on call because of low census, then you did not break contract and the hospital is being absolutely ridiculous for asking you to pay....

  5. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    ADNOLOL08 replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    I figured as much. Just checking!

  6. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    ADNOLOL08 replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    Did you mean to quote me? Because I do agree that $300 is an expensive watch and would never wear one to work that costs that much....My other watch is for dressy occasions only.

  7. Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    ADNOLOL08 replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    To me, $300 is expensive. I have a $250 Citizen watch but I would never wear it to work. I wear a cheaper watch with a second hand that works just as well as a Michael Kors or Coach watch. Plus, it...

  8. Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was rather ridiculous myself, but goodness knows my place of employment has done its share of ridiculous things in the past 6 months or so. Many people questioned it, but my original...

  9. Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to floridaboundrn's topic in General Nursing

    We were asked for a copy of our diplomas a while back, though the reason was lab-related. To perform a certain test (which we had been performing for years), it's suddenly been decided that we need a...

  10. Fainting... so dramatic

    ADNOLOL08 replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    Always been the type to 'nearly faint' when having blood drawn. As soon as they pop the tourniquet, I'm close to going down; get hot and weak. Ugh. As to a time I actually passed out....I was in high...

  11. Phasing out Unit Clerks???

    ADNOLOL08 replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're lucky there is a charge nurse that doesn't have a load. We have units in our hospital (I'm in Louisiana as well) that don't have unit clerks and the nurses just fend for themselves. The...

  12. Which specialties have 3 pts/nurse or less?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Nursing

    The ratio on our antepartum unit is usually 3:1; though we sometimes have

  13. UL or LSUE? please help!

    ADNOLOL08 replied to emilyrae's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    It's been a few years, but I attended LSUE. I had to make the choice between LSUE and UL and selected LSUE right away based on the opinions of others. It's a smaller campus and the administrative...

  14. Leaving after 8 months...bad?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My first nursing job was in a med-surg unit. I stayed for 8 months; and then switched to a job on an antenatal floor. I love what I do now and I'm glad I made the switch. I wasn't happy at my first...

  15. How many new grads changed jobs within 1 year

    ADNOLOL08 replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in General Nursing

    ADNOLOL08 replied to UnidentifiedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me at Christmas time - had Christmas Eve off and was supposed to work Christmas Day. I got a call on Christmas Eve telling me that I was supposed to be at work. My schedule said...

  18. ALMOST PASSED OUT

    ADNOLOL08 replied to Muttlover's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This was before I was a nursing student, but I did ride-alongs with a local ambulance company and we dropped a patient off at the ER. The nurses asked if I wanted to watch an NG being put down so I...

  19. Scheduling Dilemma

    ADNOLOL08 replied to magicalroy's topic in General Nursing

    I had this happen for the holidays as well; scheduled to have off Christmas Eve and work Christmas Day; have off New Year's Eve and work New Year's Day. Well, I got a call on Christmas Eve at 3:00...

  20. PBDS, anyone?

    ADNOLOL08 replied to R*Star*RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Exactly what stripedsock said. I didn't pass it the first time, and was required to rewatch some of the scenarios and talk out the diagnosis, interventions, etc with one of our team leaders. I found...

    ADNOLOL08 replied to FroggyMama's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the path of the hurricane, but plan to stay, though plan to move to safer housing than where I currently am. After the hurricane, I'll go into work when they need me as our hospital divides...

    ADNOLOL08 replied to dessyrell's topic in General Nursing

    ADNOLOL08 replied to julezzz26's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard the same as well, from a nurse I worked with during a summer program. At my hospital, NPO means absolutely nothing by mouth. If there are exceptions made by the physicican, such as ice and...
