    Help! I'm confused about charting rules

    xoemmylouox replied to hha07lpn15's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that NOC shift is not the time to do a full skin assessment. For a facility who wants the residents to have privacy/rest, this policy kinda blows those goals out of the

    2/6 What I Learned This Week: If you annoy them, they will order

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are having to go through this again. Strokes are one of those things that can be so unfair, striking at most ages, lifestyles, etc. May your P/T benefit you greatly, despite the pain that is...

    Hello from the Other Siiide..what I learned about pt discharge when the patient is my dad

    xoemmylouox replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest hurdle in this goal is time. Most Nurses do not have the time to spend 1+ hrs going through a complete d/c with everything the OP

    Disappointing RN-BSN & RN-MSN Programs. To many assignments with no real learning! Serious

    xoemmylouox replied to alex rn-msn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think most higher ed programs involve writing a lot of papers. It's about learning how to research and then being able to put that research into a logical paper. How many "hands on" skills you learn...

    how to verify your license

    xoemmylouox replied to vickyextras's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I will never understand why people cannot wait even 24 hours. OP, just wait it out. I know it's hard, but it makes no sense to waste your money, especially if you have to take the test again. Find...

    Nursing School No Longer Going by Their Own Policies

    xoemmylouox replied to dholly2015's topic in General Students

    OP. I understand your frustration, however you should really focus on your own school woes, instead of others. You will find exceptions are made in school and at your future

    A Drive by, seriously!

    xoemmylouox replied to Bevp's topic in School

    Wow... Just wow.. That's so special. All of our schools have strict security in place which require you to show your license/state id, have an adult escort you to where you are heading, etc. They all...

    I finally had my baby.. 2 kids are a lot more work than 1! That I am SOOO enjoying my Maternity Leave from work. I turned my nursing school application in for the transition program. I'll find out...

    Cost vs realistic job prospects

    xoemmylouox replied to Paticake35's topic in General Nursing

    In some areas it doesn't matter where you went to school, you may have a hard time finding a job as a new grad. It does seem like that is not as bad as it was a year ago, but some areas are still...

    Is it disinfected?

    xoemmylouox replied to jigi's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the PP's - this does not sound like true sterilization has occurred which you need to prevent cross

    Safe Practice? Report to Corporate Compliance/HR/Magnet?

    xoemmylouox replied to mpct's topic in General Nursing

    If your patients are at risk speak up. I would go to your manager with your concerns. Be professional and have your facts ready. Why is it dangerous? Have patients/families complained? Have the number...

    I want to quit nursing.

    xoemmylouox replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you would feel better in an outpt setting that has a different set of duties? You will find the obnoxious staff and rude managers everywhere you go. Typically you work 8-10 hour shifts instead...

    CPR on bed.

    xoemmylouox replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    The OP said this was an LTAC. That is not the same thing as LTC/Nursing Home. If it is really an LTAC there is NO reason it shouldn't have a fully stocked crash cart with a backboard since you are...

    xoemmylouox replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I sometimes dream of taking a job different than Nursing, just for a break away. So far I haven't found any that pay enough.. Good luck though, sounds like it could be

    xoemmylouox replied to SerenaS's topic in General Nursing

    You can never go wrong with a hand written thank you note. Then there is always food. Try to think of something that is easy & quick to

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    xoemmylouox replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome back! It is true that school simply steals too much time away from AllNurses. I took this semester off due to baby, but last semester left me barely checking in. I am also sorry to hear you...

    What kind of jobs do y'all have as LPN/LVN?

    xoemmylouox replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have done outpt MD office work, PDN, LTACH, LTC, Teaching, and corrections. Most of the hospitals only hire LPN's in the outpt settings including MD offices and wound care clinics. Most of our...
