  1. It's OFFICIAL!!! Tips and Encouragement from a Second Timer!

    Lucky0220 replied to Lillian11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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

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

    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!

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

    Oops, put my response with the wrong

  4. St. David's GN Residency

    Lucky0220 replied to ctabs14's topic in Texas Nursing

    I stated above that I did not go in as a new nurse. I had 3 years of

  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...

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

    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

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

    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...

  17. I was accused of diverting narcotics and terminated

    Lucky0220 replied to deege58's topic in Travel

    I might be wrong about this, but I'm thinking that by hitting "cancel all meds", it made it look as if no vicodin was pulled at all. But you originally pulled out two, then returned one, so the count...

  18. Vent: Sometimes I think I speak a different language than the ward

    Lucky0220 replied to BelgianRN's topic in Critical Care

    I looked it up and I think it means "out of hospital cardiac arrest". I found it on Medscape... Management of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) here is the link:...

  19. I love it ALL

    Lucky0220 replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    If you truly think this is an excellent suggestion, and are not being patronizing towards Grn Tea, I suggest that you go back over some of your past posts and really do some thinking. You state that...

  20. NOW how does it feel???

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

    it just amazes me how some people are so eager to post their opinion, that they do not even give the op the respect of carefully reading the original post. gila, not to single you out, but for you...

  21. Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    Lucky0220 replied to Done's topic in General Nursing

    Did I miss something?? Did they have you take a drug test when this was first brought up? You said that you took your own store bought test, but what about a test that the facility sets up? I'm...

  22. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    Lucky0220 replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    i know that you are getting flamed, but honestly where have you read this, as you state above?? pneumo is either caused by a viral or a bacterial organism. this is nursing 101. if these docs are just...
