  1. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, perhaps I am a bit overheated. Perhaps, this nurse has just rubbed me the wrong way since she walked into his room. (Reeking of smoke- and maybe that's what turned me off from day one. A...

  2. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My thought was this day and age who actually has

  3. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To say he is resting comfortably when you can hear him coughing down the hall is a false statement last time I checked. I just spoke with my sister who has been there most of the day. She says he has...

  4. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why is everyone missing out on the fact that I have observed this woman for at least 3 days of providing sub par care to my father already? Good grief Charlie

  5. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I strongly disagree with owing the nurse an apology, but I will concede to the possibility of him being started on lisinopril could be contributing to the cough, but he has had this cough for weeks...

  6. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. So my objectivity means nothing as well? This is the first time I have ever had to go through this with a parent. It is a big frightening and alarming when it is one of your own. I don't like...

  7. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been staying with him a the hospital up until yesterday when I had to come home. He has had the same nurse with him. She smokes. It's obvious. She smells like smoke. She admitted that she...

  8. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because he lost his job at 51 less than a year ago 7 days after he had a defibrillator

  9. So angry and annoyed!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually if you'd go back and read what I wrote the "real" nurse did call back and lie to me. Perhaps if she were doing her job and not taking smoke breaks, we wouldn't have a problem

  10. Are online degrees 'legit'? Such as RN-BSN online? Is BSN really necessary? CONFUSED.

    SweettartRN replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, they won't even look at your resume if you aren't a BSN. They don't want ya. I believe that this may turn around again, but it is just one more reason that I am starting classes next...

  11. How I studied for the CPNE

    SweettartRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I disagree about the need to attend a workshop. I did just fine without one and feel that they are a big waste of money, when Excelsior really and truly gives you everything you need in the CPNE...

  12. American Sentinel University it is!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    8 week terms, so two terms in a semester. I will be done in February

  13. American Sentinel University it is!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes and Yes! It will take approximately 10 months to finish my degree, and many other schools will take transfer credits. I have already asked and looked into it. They are regionally accredited and...

  14. LPN to RN through Exselsior....

    SweettartRN replied to luvmy2angels's topic in Online Distance Learning

    How is it that you have no college credits but hold an LPN license? Pray do

  15. Just enrolled Excelsior BSN program

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    It looks like I have about 8 classes to go before I am done with my BSN, so I went ahead and enrolled today! Hopefully there are a few others of you out there that can guide me through this....

  16. To strike or not to strike?

    SweettartRN replied to hipaacrates's topic in General Nursing

    Just my $0.02 but striking in this day and age is equivalent to a toddler throwing a temper tantrum

  17. Need Help

    SweettartRN replied to china4mom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It is a test to see how well you prioritize and put things into perspective. Easy to do, took about 2-3 hours, and it was

  18. CPNE sites in NY

    SweettartRN replied to k3104's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Syracuse was where I went. The staff was excellent, the site was great, and I passed with no repeats on anything and was out of there on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM.

  19. Does working in L&D affect your sex drive?

    SweettartRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work L&D but have to imagine it would be the best birth control in the world!

  20. To unionize or not...

    SweettartRN replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Last time I checked, working in this country was not a "right." It used to be if you did a **** poor job, you were fired, and someone more willing and better stepped in to do your work. Too many...

  21. Preparing for CPNE, overwhelmed!

    SweettartRN replied to k3104's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Take the study guide and pull out all of the checkoff sheets in the back-these are what the CE's will be using to grade you. Memorize the steps- no more and no less. Break it down this way and you...

  22. CPNE Workshop Advice Needed

    SweettartRN replied to SHARWELL's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i used rob's cpne videos, and i used the last pages of the cpne study guide. i printed those out and memorized what they would be checking off. i set up a lab station, and then got a skype buddy that...

  23. Just enrolled Excelsior BSN program

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm glad you posted this. They could not reason with me at all about why I have two degrees, but still needed all those Gen ed credits. I told them to forget it, and I would find another program....

  24. Just enrolled Excelsior BSN program

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the heads up Tiffany I will be pursuing this option. Excelsior has really turned my stomach over this

  25. CPNE Workshop Advice Needed

    SweettartRN replied to SHARWELL's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A workshop is NOT necessary for passing the CPNE. I did it without one and passed all of my lab stations and PCS's with no
