    nyteshade replied to LovingNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Getting Experience

    nyteshade replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you, I'd take the waitress job that is flexible and pays well. Nursing school will be a challenge, and time consuming...you don't need to commit to the other job which is probably a set...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    nyteshade replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    You will be whatever type of nurse YOU choose to be, and it doesn't matter what follows behind your name. I started as a LPN, and my instructors taught me with their heart and soul. We went in depth...

    Where are all the nurses?

    nyteshade replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dilemma: Should I settle? Is it worth it in the long run?

    nyteshade replied to Mariposa2009's topic in General Nursing

    I hate how nursing schools are instilling these thoughts in future nurses and limiting their outlook. This robs our nurses from making choices from the heart. This is what creates the "I'm a better...

    Where are all the nurses?

    nyteshade replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm no new grad, but if you need a MDS nurse in the future, and I'm in MA at the same time... I'm your nurse! LOL. I've lived in Providence, and miss the area To answer your question though, I...

    Relocation should I apply for my Flordia license before?

    nyteshade replied to soccer's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, yes, and yes. You need to have FL license in hand before these places will look at you. All of the job posts will say: FL nurse license required. It might take awhile to process, and I don't...

    MDS Charting Emphasis for Staff

    nyteshade replied to GrassHopper2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I always believed that all of the floor nursing documents should be derived from the MDS. I would suggest making/editing flow sheets...instead of monthly summaries. Nurses could just check off what...

    Urgent Question!!!

    nyteshade replied to rita.kumar83's topic in General Nursing

    Look, I honestly don't think you are gonna be asked to round to the hundredths in the case of 3.88, it's just not a logical question. Have you picked up a NET study

    Math Help needed, please!

    nyteshade replied to raj kaur LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Do not round unless otherwise told to do so. Google pictures of a 0.5 ml, 1ml, and 3ml syringe. 0.75 is NOT the same as 0.8. If you still run into problems, contact your instructor

    Would You Take This Higher?

    nyteshade replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds really shady. If I understand correctly, it seems no one in this campus wants to help you. I would take this higher. What about a regulatory board that the college has to answer to?...

    SNF questions to ask

    nyteshade replied to mlok's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Questions may change depending on what shift you're working. But, you'll want to know the typical setup of the floor staffing ie; LPNs and CNAs. Also, how many other RNs will be on the floor. Who...
