  1. Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    Kylea replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    We don't color code, but the idea that management had is this idea. Anyone involved in patient care in any manner got HUGE badges to go under our name tags that have abbreviation for our title (ie...

  2. Pumping at work and childcare

    Kylea replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    I am due in about ten weeks and was wondering the same things. My co-workers seem supportive. I work in LTC and there are a few places I can utilize to pump. As far as daycare goes, my little one...

  5. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    Kylea replied to Roxy0628's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Not to drag up a relatively old thread, but what is the entrance exam that Chamberlain uses? Is it a national exam or an internal

  6. Question for Navy Nurse Recruiter if possible

    Kylea posted a topic in Government, Military

    I have a quick question for a Navy Nurse Recruiter if one is available. Long story short, I have an RE-4 which prevents me from re-enlisting. Does this necessarily prevent me from receiving a...

  7. Help me decide between 2 Nursing schools

    Kylea replied to Jimmydaves's topic in General Nursing

    OP-Just something to think about. If you want to ever transfer states, you have to be careful about taking the LVN/LPN-RN route online. Some states will not accept online RN schools, or are very...

  8. Becoming a nurse then going to law school?

    Kylea replied to dancer_meggs's topic in General Nursing

    The main reason is that we can't pull qualified nurses out of healthcare facilities to teach those classes so more students can graduate. It's competitive because you can't get a decent nurse out of...

    Kylea replied to Trumystery13's topic in General Nursing

    To OP, the best thing for you to do if you have questions is to contact your local Air Force recruiter. They can give you answers to the questions you have. Just remember going in what it is that...

  11. Military Wives in Nursing

    Kylea replied to mypixiedust's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried working at the closest VA facility? They have worked really well for me. And when my husband transfers again, I can transfer to the local VA wherever he goes.

  12. California BSN

    Kylea replied to lifecycle1898's topic in General Nursing

    If I understand right, yes. The CA BON has very strict guidelines for licensure. You always want to make sure that the school you are attending is approved by the board. No point in wasting all...

  13. Dead Babies...To Get It Off My Chest

    Kylea replied to caddismt's topic in General Nursing

    OP- I am so sorry you had to see this. No one should ever have to see that. Babies are precious, no matter what. Talk to a family member, clergy, co-worker, a therapist. Someone to help you...

  14. Do you round on your patients every one hour?

    Kylea replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I work in what is humorously called a nursing home. In reality, we are a go-between in the middle of the medical acute floor and the nursing home. A sub-acute unit most would say. Except for the...

  15. ER nursing and pregnancy...

    Kylea replied to ND76's topic in Emergency

    I have to agree with the previous poster. I have just found out I am pregnant (congratulations, by the way!!) and my MD put me on a lifting restriction due to an unrelated back injury. I was trying...

  19. I have a confession to make

    Kylea replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    One of the reasons that you are not supposed to access your chart on your own at a lot of facilities is that there is a policy in place to protect you. Someone who understands what the chart says...

  20. Nervous

    Kylea replied to bamagt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any particular advice other than get in there and get your hands dirty! :) Sounds like an awesome experience. Your preceptor will be well aware of what you know how to do, and if...

  21. Does anyone know anything about "Comm Living Center" floor @ the VA Hosp?

    Kylea replied to naturelvr's topic in General Nursing

    I currently work on a unit like you describe. It's a CLC. On my particular unit we have rehab, hospice, and long-term antibiotic therapy that can't go home. CLC can mean the unit I am on, or the...

    Kylea replied to ilovemychihuahua's topic in General Nursing
