    How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    xoemmylouox replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    I HATE it when my students are late and disrupt the class. It disrupts my lecture and my train of thought. That being said I don't lock my doors. Life happens. If it becomes a habit then I would...

    xoemmylouox replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in a simlar boat. There is another school, but it is way out of my league cost wise so everything is riding one college. I had to turn in my application by 2/1 and I won't find out until June. I...

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

    Wow.. I'm not a religious person myself, so this may frustrate me more than others. You shouldn't blame your failures on the Devil or give God all of your praise. We are responsible for things like...

    Should I let my manager beat me at Trivia Crack

    xoemmylouox replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree!! In fact there should be a mention of it at the next staff meeting. Perhaps create a decorative annoucement so that everyone in the dept

    What do you think about managers and employees being friends on Facebook?

    xoemmylouox replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No way no how. Only after I leave an employer, never while they are my manager. Maybe on LinkedIn, but NEVER

    Drowning in prior authorizations... Help!

    xoemmylouox replied to Amistad's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    This happens every year in our office. Come Jan 1 meds that were covered, no longer are. Then you have to play the PA game or hope there is another option. It's beyond frustrating. It sounds like you...

    xoemmylouox replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    Overall I enjoy my jobs. I love teaching patients and students. I love working in primary care. Seeing patients grow and change is amazing. Sure there are LOTS of difficult patients/families that I...

    RN training pay at 10$/hr??

    xoemmylouox replied to gotchills's topic in Private Duty

    Ouch! $20 is low as I'm guessing your cost of living is pretty high. I have heard of other employers paying less when training.. Usually those were places where Nurses didn't stick through training...

    Changing Trachs

    xoemmylouox replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still nervous around trachs. Kids with trachs are the worst. Many of them are able to roll around and play - dislodging them more frequently than the adult patients I have cared for. A bit of fear...

    Changing to 8 hour shifts

    xoemmylouox replied to JMoney's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone is different. I loved working 3-4 12's. Right now my full time job is 8hr shifts x 5 days a week. I can't want to go back to the days of 12 hrs. For others 8hrs is more than enough in one...

    Disclosure of a 2nd job to Employer

    xoemmylouox replied to BrokePHIBroke's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Why are you telling them Ii it is not required by your contract. It sounds like it is unlikely that your full time population will see you at your PRN gig, so I would leave things as they

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

    I know some programs hire LPNLVN staff to teach in the various (medical assitant, medical billing, etc) programs. Call around and see what they tell you. For-profit institutions are your best

    Online Nursing Schools vs Traditional Schools

    xoemmylouox replied to canwil2082's topic in General Nursing

    I think these posts are important. Learning from life experience is important. For some this might have them consider other options when they are pursuing their higher education. We can do all of the...

    I work all of the time and am in school. My husband is a SHD. It works great for us. Sure I feel like I miss some of her growing up, but for me it is all about quality time. I "talk" to her when I can...

    Students asking for free money

    xoemmylouox replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Times are tough. If you don't like it/agree with it then don't donate. I don't blame nursing students for asking. Education is expensive and because of cost it is out of reach for many of the citizens...

    Took the TEAS today! What are my chances?

    xoemmylouox replied to dc1994's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Each school is different so it is honestly impossible to say. Some schools go based on GPA, others TEAS, others a combo of both. It also depends on how many students apply. Good luck with getting

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

    I'm sorry you are going through this. I cannot believe that after you obtain the education they required now they still won't hire you for a position. Is this a LTC facility? I know many employers...

    current job dilemma

    xoemmylouox replied to jessicamillan12's topic in General Students

    It NEVER hurts to get your foot in the door. Some positions are for internal candidates only, so you might be able to get in that way. Good luck and keep applying. Even if you start in LTC as an aide...

    Go-to Sites for Patient Education Pamphlets?

    xoemmylouox replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Patient Education

    CDC.gov has some. It takes some scouting if I recall right, but they had a variety of FREE resources you could order. So it is worth
