   Congrats!! What a fantastic and inspiring post. I took the NCLEX back in 2009 and I was so lucky not to have gotten many SATA questions! I hope that you get another promising position...you deserve...

2. overheard at the bedside

   That is a GREAT one for the "Say it Correctly" thread, that's somewhere on this site. Maybe the nurse was thinking about C-Diff!

5. St. David's GN Residency

   Lucky0220 replied to ctabs14's topic in Texas Nursing

   Maybe this should give you a good indication of St. David's organizational culture,and what it might be like to work for! I didn't go in as a new nurse and they didn't even have someone to just...

6. New nurse with job that is causing anxiety and depression

   Lucky0220 replied to nurseGi's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Just lovely.....this is what we went into nursing for! I love that phrase.."defensive nursing". Might have to borrow it for our next staff

7. New nurse with job that is causing anxiety and depression

   Lucky0220 replied to nurseGi's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I couldn't agree more with this observation. I truly believe that the OP and other new grads, including myself, when I graduated 4 years ago, were totally unprepared for bedside nursing when we...

8. ADN or accelerated BSN program?

   Lucky0220 replied to princess3479's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   With an ADN and/or an ASN, you graduate with a DEGREE, not a diploma. ADN stands for Associate Degree in Nursing. ASN stands for Associate of Science in Nursing. Both are the same education-wise....

9. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

   Lucky0220 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   You know, I just read somewhere that if you roll your eyes as much as you do, they just might stay like that; with the pupil and iris facing the retina. Then you'd have to walk backwards for the rest...

10. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    Lucky0220 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For ktwlpn: Maybe you have not worked at many different hospitals, but in at least 2 hospitals I worked at, new hires had some sort of identifier, showing others that they were new. While I did not...

11. What is the nurse-patient ratio where you work?

    Lucky0220 replied to kaliRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I just cannot understand why more hospitals don't invest in an admissions RN for each shift. To me that would be such a help for the floor nurses. We have one where I work, but only from 11a to 11p...

    Lucky0220 replied to maxdog's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Do not encourage 'mindlor' by responding to his posts which are always argumentative. Read some of them...and you will see what I mean. He likes to push everyone's

    Lucky0220 replied to maxdog's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    fyi it seems that the op has not answered our questions as to whether he/she is hourly or salaried. in any case, since this is an important topic, i thought i would paste this info from the wage...

14. New grad living in misery r/t nurse managers and educator

    Lucky0220 replied to maxdog's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Based on another one of your posts, where the thread was asking what hospital and what salary, you gave an annual figure. That suggests to me that you are not an hourly employee. Is this correct?...

15. why does it seem that HR and the nursing department aren't on the same page?

    Lucky0220 replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's sad, but true, I guess. Just like many candidates do not prepare for their interviews, some who are responsible for either doing the interview or setting it up, also do not prepare. I would be...
