    Will green skin hurt my career?

    xoemmylouox replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hmmm.. Are we talking the permant tattoo sort of coloring or the temp. food coloring that MeanMaryJean described? I say go for the ever lasting kind. It'll freak out your healthcare providers and...

    Professionalism....name your irritation here!

    xoemmylouox replied to LobotRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Fake nails, gum popping, & extreme helplessness (aka too lazy to do anything). Cell phones don't bother me as long as it is

    Pennsylvania does not accept license from RN program

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

    I think the fact that some states allow you to sit for the NCLEX as an LPN is crazy. The OP did not attend an LPN program. The OP did not graduate from any nursing program. This is

    social media problem

    xoemmylouox replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I woudn't think twice about it. Any employer that is worth anything would dimiss this person's complaint, unless you have a history with this sort of

    Unsolicited Warnings....

    xoemmylouox replied to theradiantforce's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would tuck the information away. Most times there is some validity in these comments. Often the employees making these comments are just tired of the nonsense themselves. Some may be trying to warn...

    Thanks for the support and opposition

    xoemmylouox replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    This is now my FAVORITE quote! This must be put onto t-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers, pens,

    LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    xoemmylouox replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wow.. I can understand your frustration to some degree, but no you cannot simply say you hold a degree which you don't. You know that. I'm hoping that you merely said this in frustration instead of...

    Another GPA Question

    xoemmylouox replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    I would contact the schools you are looking at. They can tell you if they will accept your GPA or not. Then you can decide what your next step is. Many of us have been in your position. I wish you...

    RN forging doc's signature

    xoemmylouox replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we can sign/co-sign for certain things. Perhaps this nurse thought the same thing? I would talk to the nurse to start and go from

    Thread spinoff: denied time off and vacation approval notice

    xoemmylouox replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    We don't really know if our time has been approved until days before the month starts. Typically if you find covereage you don't have issues, but with the limited staff we have, finding coverage on...

    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    xoemmylouox replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can easily understand feeling sympathy for your patients. I can also understand wanting to help them, but you have to understand that your actions are crossing the line. You seem to have good...

    first RN paycheck?

    xoemmylouox replied to nauticaburt561's topic in General Nursing

    Paid bills that needed to be caught up on. You can buy yourself something small as a reward, but I wouldn't spend too much. Save, pay off debt, save, pay up your bills,

    Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    xoemmylouox replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am honestly too busy to sit and cook for 3 meals a day. I do try to cook several times a week and often make enough to have leftovers. I LOVE the crockpot. That thing saves me a lot of time,...

    I am an ER doc. I wrote a short story about a girl having a seizure.

    THE question -- NP or PA

    xoemmylouox replied to reflective11's topic in General Nursing

    I would say look into what your state allows each to do. What restrictions are in place for each? This can vary from state to

    How far would you commute for awesome salary?

    xoemmylouox replied to Noahj's topic in General Nursing

    CONGRATS!! Sounds like a great opportunity. It's a shame it is so far away, but as long as you don't mind the commute take it. I drove 90min for a part time PDN job I had. Some days I HATED it, others...

    To tell or not to tell!

    xoemmylouox replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would say pick your battles. Talk to the nurses first. Since you are still in training perhaps ask them why they are doing certain things. It is all about delivery of the message. Don't seem like...

    Scared!!

    xoemmylouox replied to altmer_aldmeri's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How sad for the patients. Having unqualified staff caring for them despite the money the facility is getting paid to provide safe oversight and care. OP you were right to leave. Regarding the asking...

    First Med Error... Learned Big Lesson

    xoemmylouox replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It would be nice to have a resonable amount of patients per nurse so we could all do total care for our patients. I think that there would be a lot fewer errors in general if this was the case. Our...

    Hate it already

    xoemmylouox replied to NurseSunshine3's topic in Nursing Career

    Indeed. It is not easy. In the end this may not be the floor for you, but give it some time. Believe me Nursing is not easy. It is exhausting some days physically and mentally. Being a student forever...

    DUI as a student? What's to come?

    xoemmylouox replied to justwondering1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You will need to deal with your BON once you are done with school. I suggest consulting with a lawyer when you contact the BON/BON contacts you about applying for licensure. You will want to get...
