  1. OP- I was curious what the answer was to this. I just checked and there are several threads on this topic. I didn't read them in detail. But it looks like many people are saying they either did not...
  2. Broward College August 2010

    Hi! Hope all is going
  3. Broward College August 2010

    I'm at south, about to start my second to last semester. I was deathly afraid to go there too. LOL But it made the most sense, since I live in Miami. After the first two weeks or so, you get used to...
  4. APAP Supp?

    My thoughts, exactly (minus the "stinkyface" comment). OP~ Hopefully you received clarification of your question. Without the easily googled questions or topics, and people willing to share their...
  5. Self-doubt

    OP, I don't think anyone has gone into nursing without having self-doubt. It is very normal to feel the way you do. I'll be starting my 4th semester next week, and I STILL have doubts that I will make...
  6. New RN...Am I being under paid???

    Have you had a chance to read through the following thread? https://allnurses.com/mississippi-nurses/want-real-scoop-149651.html It's from the Mississippi board. It started in 2006, but it has recent...
  7. Tidbits, facts, save-your-butts...for new nurses in LTC

    Here's another one. :) Before you call a doctor, make sure you have current vital signs and lab work handy. I always liked to have the chart right in front of me, in case I'm asked something about...
  8. Tidbits, facts, save-your-butts...for new nurses in LTC

    I have a few: Get to work with enough time, to make rounds on all your patients before you start your shift. I used to like to make them going from room to room, with the nurse I was relieving. It's...
  9. so happy!

    Good luck!! You have a good memory. And you were always very detailed and thorough, when answering everyone's questions about BC and FIU. I really hope it all works out for you. Keep us
  10. I feel so incompetent

    You are NOT a lousy nurse. Everyone has days like this. It seems like one thing gets the ball rolling, and it's all downhill from there. You make one mistake, then get all flustered, and start to...
  11. Nudity?

    That's what I'm trying to figure out. With the exception of the breast exams, people were talking about "stripping down" to sports bras/tank tops and shorts, for a LEARNING experience. And whether or...
  12. Nudity?

    How, exactly, are the majority of these responses "demeaning" to the nursing profession? Someone posed a question and we answered. As you can see from the responses, some people did, indeed, have to...
  13. Working as lpn while doing adn program?

    I'm currently in an ASN program. I work as an LPN, anywhere from 1 to 3 nights a week (12 hour shifts). We're all LPNs in my class. So for the week, there's only one clinical day (about 10-12 hours)...
  14. Nudity?

    I kind of agree with this. We are supposed to be professionals and take it as a learning experience. But the bottom line is, there are some creepy people out there, and you just never know. And all...
  15. So dissapointed...

    I'm a veteran, and I know moving around and having to start over is not easy. But instead of looking at it as a completely negative thing, look at the positive side. At least you have the option of...
  16. Am I as crazy as everyone thinks I am?

    I don't think that sounds crazy at all. I plan on taking mine as soon as possible, after I graduate in December. You have to do what you feel is right for YOU. Don't doubt yourself or let anyone...
  17. Quick question for night-shift nurses

    I think all the advice you were given so far were great ones. From my experience working nights at facilities, I personally feel the dim lights in the room (nightlights, from the bathroom, from the...
  18. Lack of nursing jobs

    I think just about everywhere is feeling the crunch. I'm in Miami and have been an LPN for over 10 years. I'll be starting my 4th semester of an RN program in 2 weeks. I have experience in several...
  19. Things you wish you knew when you were young?

    1) Time waits for no one. I could never quite get back to school. Those two to four years seemed so impossible and far away. I always blew it off, believing I had plenty of time to do it later. But...
  20. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    There ya go, OP! Problem
  21. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    If this person fears for your safety because you're so "beautiful", is it not your FACE then, that is the problem? In that case, it really wouldn't matter what you were wearing. That preceptor's...
  22. What do you mean she "lags"? Is that because she takes too long to get around to it, or that she isn't good at it? And if you are copying exactly what SHE wrote on the 24 hour report, why can't she do...
  23. Help!! Not IMMUNE HEP B SURFACE RESULT!!!

    My school offers the option to decline the Hepatitis B shot. I'm not suggesting you do that. But if, for some reason, they aren't okay with you not having the first shot prior to clinicals, maybe you...
  24. Respect?

    I agree that some of the finest people I have ever met, have worn nursing uniforms. But like they say, with the good, comes the bad. And unfortunately, most of what the OP has stated, rings true. Or...
  25. Accepting this gift from a patient

    I agree with everyone else saying to return the check, and bring it to management's attention. Things can change in the blink of an eye. At this very moment, I am witnessing one of my co-workers go...
