    xoemmylouox replied to SAMc0515's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is true that we all make mistakes. That isn't an exuse, it doesn't make it right, it just means that you are human. You fessed up and you took appropriate measures to limit damage. That is the...

    HELP PLEASE! Received a job offer in NJ but I only have a NY license. What do I do now?

    xoemmylouox replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like an awful employer who knows they are taking advantage of their staff. Keep applying. If you are going to apply out of state I would start the process of getting a license there. I know it...

    What if nursing doesn't work?

    xoemmylouox replied to snow22's topic in General Nursing

    Late arriving Nurses

    xoemmylouox replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Any confirmation on this doozy?

    xoemmylouox replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are different types of accreditation. States require schools to meet a minimum standard, but they do not have to meet all types of accreditation

    Any confirmation on this doozy?

    xoemmylouox replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well if it was on FB it must be true... I seriously doubt this is true. How long has the rumor been that LPNs are going to be completely gotten rid of? How many years have we heard the BSN

    xoemmylouox replied to WinterRN77's topic in General Nursing

    I would think of it as no big loss. Look at your performance. Was there something that you struggled with? Be honest. If not then they prob. only needed a few of you and not all 4, but hired so many...
