    Time running out to finish NCLEX in 4 years, Do I have any options?

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

    Perhaps a refresher course would count? I would call your BON and clarify what will and won't

    Going back into acute care.

    xoemmylouox replied to raincloud's topic in Nursing Career

    Lawsuits/legal action are not the answer to every problem. You aren't being discriminated against it's just that there are plenty of other nurses who have the exact set of skills/experience they're...

    I noticed the damage to my "white gold" ring as well. I've just stopped wearing it. The downside is that I've been asked out ( which I'll admit being a pregnant married lady boosted my ego a bit

    You know you are going to have an interesting day when you get report that . . .

    patients who don't age out

    xoemmylouox replied to anon456's topic in Pediatric

    That makes no sense. I don't know of any such law, and I certainly hope there isn't any. Why would a physician HAVE to follow a patient? it drives me crazy when we have patients that have no business...

    LPN in a pediatric clinic?

    xoemmylouox replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in Pediatric

    Working in a Peds clinic is tough. You are making those kids cry on a daily basis with immunization a, treatments, etc. Plus you have to deal with their crazy parents who drive you nuts! You see a bit...

    Umm...again, how many weeks of orientation?

    xoemmylouox replied to jrsRN07's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I worked an LTAC before. They are tough! Mine was VERY poorly ran, and I ended up quitting when they started asking staff to completely redo documentation and lie. You will gain a ton of experience...

    D50 for blood glucose protocol vs juice/snacks, your thoughts

    xoemmylouox replied to Billy_Ruben's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely work on getting this protocol changed.. Why give something like D50 when there are simpler, cheaper, safer options. Don't beat yourself up over this. You used critical thinking,...

    What does Johnson and Johnson get out of promoting nursing careers?

    xoemmylouox replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's nice. Sure it may be a bit sickly sweet, but it shows nurses in a nice professional light. How many other shows or commercials do that. I have no beef with

    "When Was the Last Time I Wow'ed a Patient?"

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

    Yes and those nurses will get a heads up from their manager that patient x complained. A suggestion will be to perhaps smile more while interrupting

    Can a nurse with a reprimand become a pa?

    xoemmylouox replied to Ripfreak's topic in General Nursing

    You need to speak with your state license board regarding this. I also wouldn't do too much more until this is

    When the nurse becomes the patient

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

    I feel it is important to leave feedback. I try my best to always ask for a manager if someone goes out of there way and does a fantastic job, but I also ask for one if I think the care was horrible....

    Can a nurse refuse to participate in a code?

    xoemmylouox replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question. I'm sure you could step aside as long as there was adequate staff to participate in the code. You might lose your job or face punishment from your BON if someone wanted to make a...

    Is student loan consolidation plan worth it

    xoemmylouox replied to RNHURT's topic in General Nursing

    I think in most cases it's worth it. Again try to read all the fine print. I agree that many who have issues either use a shady lender or simply take out more than they can pay back with current...

    I am becoming fed up with lazy staff. Not only am i doing my job, but now the job if others as well. I figured out that every week 6-8 hours of my time is now spent doing the job someone is already...

    Am I making a bad decision or should I stick to the course?

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

    The education for an MD or DO is completely different than for nursing. You really need to look into this. The important thing is to do well in school. During practicals try to learn as many skills as...

    Nurse Manager? (can't find a new job)

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

    The problem is there are a ton of other nurses applying to the same jobs you are. You need to use an individual cover letter for each position you apply to, even if they are within the company. Review...
