    Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

    Selene006 replied to nursep2b's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you Sparrowhawk. I pop and sign as I go. In between grabbing narcotics from the lower drawers, I stick my pen behind my ear to remind me to double check that I've gone through all of the...

    LTC vs. Hospital, good move or not?

    Selene006 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Test the waters and you'll find out. I especially love it when you walk in for a tour of a facility and almost every single nurse has been working there just under a few months. Why? Because the...

    1st semester LPN student jobs?

    Selene006 replied to happyhaynes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN to BSN online a good idea for me?

    Selene006 replied to dansmastarbucks's topic in LPN to RN

    If you're 100% certain that you will be able to deal with the online curriculum, then you should take a stab at it. I began my BSN education a few months after taking the NCLEX-PN and it the was the...

    When are you no longer a "new nurse"?

    Selene006 replied to nursesaurus's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In the long term care facility that I used to work at, it only took a couple of weeks to shed that "new nurse" title. The facility had a revolving door of "here today" and "gone tomorrow" nurses!...

    How did your employer recognize Nurse's Day?

    Selene006 replied to allevi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked the weekend. We didn't get a card, or a flyer, or even an over-head announcement about Nurse's Day. It felt like a regular, work-yourself-to-death-in-long-term-care kind of day. Don't get me...

    Selene006 replied to emt2lpn2's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from LPN school in 2008 and my instructors did inform us that new grads might have difficulty getting jobs. So what did they do to help us? Before we graduated, our instructors arranged...

    Do you see yourself retiring from nursing, or will you change professions?

    Selene006 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I've been an LPN just under 2 years, and I'll graduate with my BSN next year in May. Nursing is my first REAL professional job, but I just started volunteering at a local animal shelter to curb all of...

    To Fall or Not To Fall?

    Selene006 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Where I used to work (SNF), it would be classified as a fall, and an incident report would have to be done. The patient would be classified as a "high fall risk" and the family/ guardian would be...

    Why aren't nursing homes doing 12 hour shifts???

    Selene006 replied to GRAB1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked for a nursing home that offered 12 hour shifts, but it was strictly during the weekend. I worked 7a-7p on Saturday and Sunday and it was manageable most of the time! Since the 8 hour shifts...

    That's hilarious! I currently work on a LTC/ subacute unit and just accepted a job at an acute care hospital--hoping to get away from LTC's 2 nurses to 30 patients ratio! I'm not sure what's going on,...
