  1. **Need help** New Grad LVN to RN

    Crush replied to scrublife40's topic in General Nursing

    1. Yes, you are a new grad. 2. Most places will consider your LPN experience though. But you are still a new grad RN. 3. No, but if you plan to work in a hospital I think most will want you to but...

  2. What's the most desperate thing you've ever done to advocate for your patient?

    Crush replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I called another physician to get the order my patient needed. Second physician called my nurse manager to tell her what a great advocate I was and what lengths I had gone at 0200 to get what my...

  3. Psychiatric Nurse

    Crush replied to amandajeanfarrell's topic in General Nursing

    I work float pool now but many years ago in nursing school I recall saying I never wanted to work in psych. I tolerated my clinical and vowed never to work in that area. Alas, I was in a job that did...

  4. Nursing from 0

    Crush replied to LegoLand's topic in General Nursing

    Basic algebra and basic math skills are all you need. You can always brush up via YouTube to refresh your math skills. In my opinion, chemistry and biology were not too

  5. Feeling so dumb.

    Crush replied to rulguil01's topic in General Nursing

    There is always something I will look up now & then. But I am curious as to why you said you have your RN but work as a LVN? What about taking a nursing refresher course? Those are usually not too...

  6. Welp, this day sucks already

    Crush replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear of your loss. Be gentle with yourself and sending good vibes and cyber hugs your

  7. Being an ugly nurse

    Crush replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Totally agree. I am happy to work with you if you are competent, caring, and must must must have a sense of

  8. Conflict with friend/coworker

    Crush replied to Axgrinder's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I second that. I have my co-worker friends and while we may disagree at work from time to time, we still walk out the door together and can leave work at work. Our other workers call us the "The Core...

  9. Abandonment?

    Crush replied to karenrn111's topic in General Nursing

    Not even close to abandonment but do make sure you are aware of your states BON policies/definition of abandonment. If you are already thinking of leaving that facility here is the chance to speed up...

  10. Mandated Nurse-Patient Ratios

    Crush replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    At our facility we have 4-5 pts per RN on days depending on acuity. Our LPNs will have 8 pts and we usually have 1-2 CNAs on the ward. It is a good work environment and I do get lunch break and a...

  11. Problem with work environment

    Crush replied to Flossy73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do think you need to tell him no more of his shenanigans. As of now he needs to do his job that you have allocated period. He has displayed lack of respect, trying to be manipulative and inability...

  12. Glasses for working

    Crush replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    Oh

  13. What's the shortest time you stayed at a job and why did you leave?

    Crush replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    8 weeks at a hospice facility somewhere. It was for-profit and just a stand alone place. Place had meetings where the administrator made IMO, inappropriate comments regarding the patients at staff...

  14. Mandated Nurse-Patient Ratios

    Crush replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Holy moly! I can only imagine what med pass must be like.

  15. Jack of all trades nurse

    Crush replied to al3x117's topic in General Nursing

    Part time in med-surg and part time in another area of choice or full time med-surg. Overall I think med-surg is best especially if one is a newer grad to see more variety and hone in on skills. That...

  16. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    Crush replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    Very likely but a fun thread none the

  17. What is your worst visitor story?

    Crush replied to nordie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, not the worst but certainly memorable. I was working on the top floor of a hospital as a semi-new grad and a patient visitor from a floor below stayed with his friend past visiting hours....

  18. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    Crush replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    We use titles and last names but I am at a military hospital. No first names, except in the breakroom and outside of

  19. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    Crush replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh, random glucose checks and candy eaters anonymous.. hahahahaha. I about snorked my tea when I read this. I can only imagine getting fired for candy diversion and trying to explain that on...

  20. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    Crush replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    What the heck? Candy theft? Seriously? Going before a panel? Well heck, I sure would not want to work there. Heck no. Where was the nursing staff's

  21. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    Crush replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we all address each other as Mr or Ms and last name only. Once in a while we might accidentally call one another by first name and joke about how the other person is going to be in...

  22. Dislike towards the patient whom I know outside work

    Crush replied to ClumsyOne's topic in General Nursing

    Very good advise above. There are some people who we should just not be assigned to and if it is an issue or a potential issue, we need to make it known to our supervisor. I have no experience with...

  23. Georgia graduate

    Crush replied to Rn2017davis's topic in Excelsior College

    Not sure. I know in 10 more days I can work in Georgia under my compact state license. But won't be getting my license from there since I reside in another state. I know that before, there was...

    Crush replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    My lesson tonight was to watch my step. Yeah, and tonight I wasn't watching where I stepped and slipped in emesis. Of course all my co-workers seen it happen. But my work BFF was the only one who...

  25. Float RN

    Crush replied to AmiLeigh's topic in General Nursing

    I work float pool and love it. I rarely feel "dumped on" and quite the opposite, I feel so appreciated. Downside may be you are first one cancelled ( depending on your facility policies ). For...
