    Hate My JOB, please give me some perspective

    chevyv replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your input. Today I went in and explained how I felt. I explained that I have yet to develop so many skills that I just learned by completing the rn program. I want to learn and...

    Hate My JOB, please give me some perspective

    chevyv replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that I am definitely a new nurse (rn). I guess I hoped for more. When I precepted there, I was alone with patients, doing assessments, and was even able to do some one time nursing orders...

    What would you have said to this CNA

    chevyv replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a newer nurse I can totally understand your lack of food and br break! Most of the time I try to schedule it in within my head. When I get done with such and such, I'm taking a br break. I can't...

    Railroaded at work

    chevyv replied to Babzuptown's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you've had a terrible time lately. I wonder why nurses who have worked at places for many years 'eat their young'. I just can't understand it. I try to think logically that maybe they...

    I can't believe it, after all these long long ever so long years I'm done with nursing school I am in a state of shock and won't actually believe it until I see my diploma. There is a

    I'm Done!!!

    chevyv replied to chevyv's topic in General Students

    Jobs are very scarce here in WI for graduate nurses. I'm hoping to get my foot in the door in Correctional Nursing. Good pay, great benefits, and no crabby/demanding family members I agree that you...

    What can a LPN with a Bachelors do?

    chevyv replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen programs as well that bridge to Masters as long as you have a degree in something healthcare related. I'm not sure if having the lpn would count though because I've only seen them take a...

    Can an LPN train/precept and RN?

    chevyv replied to yfloridanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that LPN's should not be precepting RN"s. The rn scope of practice is more advanced than the lpn. I'm currently a lpn and am graduating as a rn in a couple of weeks. The scope of practice...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    chevyv replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I luv vent threads! This one has gotten some people kind of huffy though. This is a thread where we can write what we would like to say to our fellow nursing students, not what we would actually say...

    chevyv replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    2. Shut the heck up. You know why you only have a 3.0? Its because you do nothing but study and all you do is think about this stuff. Go get laid, have a beer, and relax. It will help you so much more...

    "will continue to monitor"

    chevyv replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    Everytime we write a pm medicare summary we have to write 'will continue to monitor'. After reading these posts, I'm wondering why we are writing this when we have weekly summaries to

    chevyv posted a topic in General Nursing

    A couple of weeks ago we had a house fire and lost everything. We are all ok as well as our dogs and tortoise! I just got a used computer and internet this evening. I can't believe how much I...

    Does anyone else hate nursing school?

    chevyv replied to jenawade25's topic in General Students

    I've seen them fail students who miss by .5 of a point! Most are very strict with that. I can tell you that I hate nursing school as well. It's the hardest degree I've ever worked at. I'm set to...

    chevyv replied to pristine30's topic in General Students

    new LVN at LTC

    chevyv replied to uknowulovemexoxo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work pms and have 28 residents and take almost just as long. I only work a few days per month right now so I'm always overwhelmed. I also work wherever I'm needed which makes it so much worse. I...

    Job training in an LTC

    chevyv replied to rotteluvr31's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My orientation sucked and they asked me once to work as a cna, I refused. I'm still employed. I've never been trained in that facility as a cna so there is no way I'm going to be responsible for...

    chevyv replied to asabater's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I too have troubles with iv pumps. Can you backprime the pump to get the air out? I learned that and it's been better. I can't land iv's to save my life either. Squirrly veins and I never know...

    First 10 hours preceptorship down!

    chevyv posted a topic in Correctional

    Yesterday was my first shift with my preceptor in an all womens facility. I have a great preceptor and am learning so much. Corrections nursing sure is different from med surg in the hospital! I'm...

    Every Nurse Should Give Birth

    chevyv replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I think I read correctly that a NP was concerned about vitals that were fine. I learned in 1st semester that people that suffer from chronic pain will not show elevated vital signs. If you live with...

    who's license do med techs work under?

    chevyv replied to Jewl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a relatively newer lpn and would love to think I've never made a med error, but I'm sure I have. We have so many stock meds that I don't think any of us can keep up with the new ones that take...
