  1. Unethical? Illegal?

    j621d replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I would imagine it would be against some policy of the facility - or they will be writing a new policy soon. I would say it is unethical, as there was no written consent for it to be done in the...

  2. Anyone else hate the online job application process??

    j621d replied to LPNnowRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ditto! Sometimes the questions you have to answer (required field) doesn't make sense. Example, start and end dates. How do you answer if you are currently in a job?? What required end date do you...

  3. salary question

    j621d replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Are you certain they are paying new hires (LPNs) for $4 more? That doesn't sound correct. There may be something you are not aware of in this

  4. How valuable is speaking Spanish in health care?

    j621d replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    How can you go wrong with education, including learning a language? As others have said, it won't hurt you. I think it's a great

  5. What makes someone a nurse?

    j621d replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

    You've been trained to be a nurse, you just haven't worked in that position

  6. Starting night shift - need advice/tips from night shifters!

    j621d replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    Try not to switch back and forth from night shift sleep habits to "day shift" hours on your days off. It's just too stressful and you won't get the rest you need. When I was a new grad (20+ years...

  8. I can't beleive this!

    j621d replied to jmtndl's topic in General Nursing

    Go immediately to your supervisor/manager to explain the incident. It is better to have the issue made known to the supervisor/manager by you rather than from another source. Once the issue is...

  9. Inappropriate family members

    j621d replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree with Caliotter3, as this behavior will only add "fuel to the fire" (and is passive/aggressive in nature). I have to admit, I would want to do as Caliotter3 suggests, but...

  10. What do you recommend?

    j621d replied to Taylo040's topic in General Nursing

    I would go for a good nursing drug handbook. Another suggestion would be a book on

    j621d replied to Jmiami's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well

  12. My lie to patient's mom

    j621d replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    At least she didn't ask how proficient you were in IV starts. I agree with the others: you are an expert in your field. You weren't asked anything more specific. Just take the pat on the back for a...

  13. Placebo's & Trust

    j621d replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    If she charted the ordered medication and administered NS, there is a problem. If she charted the administration of NS *which was not ordered* rather than the ordered medication there is still a...

  14. do you need to take NCLEX again if you don't work for 2 years

    j621d replied to beba/rn's topic in General Nursing

    To get the definitive answer, go to your state Board of Nursing. That should give you the

  15. Is their any online ACLS or PALS accredidated classes??

    j621d replied to lsilva7's topic in General Nursing

    I just completed the HeartCode Part 1 of ACLS through the American Heart Association, and paid $105 for the online class. I called my employer to see what I needed to do to complete my ACLS...

  16. should I withdraw??

    j621d replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of grades will you need to pass? If you need near perfect scores on the remaining exams, I would suggest you withdraw (or take an

  17. termination from nursing school

    j621d replied to cwgirl7's topic in General Students

    This is certainly a conflict of opinion! I still stand by what I say (respectfully). There should be something in the school's handbook (for nursing school) that deals with this type of problem....

  18. termination from nursing school

    j621d replied to cwgirl7's topic in General Students

    Should meet with the administrator. There should be steps to ensure "due process" and includes counseling with the instructor. If there is any difficulty with instructors you should go up the chain of...

  19. Are online RN-BSN programs part-time?

    j621d replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I concur with the others: get your BSN. At your age there are less "other" responsibilities to worry about. Plus, going straight for the BSN is most likely the quickest way to attain your dream....

  20. Losing motivation to study, any tips??

    j621d replied to Newbiestudent18's topic in General Nursing

    Another suggestion is to study for a set amount of time (reading, reviewing, etc.) and take a 5 - 10 minute break. Set a timer if you are prone to stay on break longer. Restrict personal internet...

  21. How hard is nursing school? Another question...

    j621d replied to wnb4's topic in General Students

    It sure seems like law school is easier. I keep hearing kids say they don't know what they will do so they decide to go to law school. It's almost like a default: I don't know what to do, so I'll...

  22. How hard is nursing school? Another question...

    j621d replied to wnb4's topic in General Students

    j621d replied to svbg16's topic in General Nursing

    You should be able to work. You can go to MyFlorida.com and do a licensee search and it will provide your license

  24. Should this amount of stress be normal??

    j621d replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    What you are reading are only the people that are complaining about their stress level. This is a smaller group than all new nurses. It may seem overwhelming if you read only those that post about...

  25. question about CF??

    j621d replied to mentalhealthRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's TV. Take it with a grain of salt (maybe a pound of salt). I never could watch any of those type of shows as they are SO inaccurate! Does anyone really believe only doctors run
