  1. Unsafe work environment

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, you're right. :) My resignation goes in on Monday. Part of it is, is that I don't want to leave. I was going to stick it out until I was done with my RN here in a couple of months and...

  2. Unsafe work environment

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    He comes in approximately once per month and gets out of there as quickly as he

  3. Unsafe work environment

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I had another option besides quitting. I truly love what I am doing, the work is very fun (for the most part) and I really hate to leave. Do I have other options, or is the general consensus...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    These thoughts crossed my mind

  6. Unsafe work environment

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah- we've been begging the facility for security and a panic button for months now. My supervisor was the one who called 911 yesterday for me. Just a waiting game now. I don't want to leave, but...

  7. Excelsior is raising tuition rates!

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got the email this morning and wanted to share. Excelsior College's commitment to make college affordable for working adults remains strong. In response to the slow economic...

  8. excelsior college--minimum grade for exams?

    SweettartRN replied to healthyone's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm glad someone brought this up. I too, have found it to be extremely confusing, and more than a little terrifying that they don't tell you how you got to the grade that you do. Normally it's a...

  9. My timeline for A&P if anyone wants to follow along! =)

    SweettartRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think this is a great plan. I am working on A&P right now too, so I may just follow right along with you!

  10. Fired from Assisting Living Facililty!

    SweettartRN replied to jerenemarie's topic in General Nursing

    Probably a similar place. I left a place 6 months ago and it was the best decision of my life. On call 24/7, high turn over, idiots passing meds, idiots stealing meds, people drinking on the job,...

  11. Fired from Assisting Living Facililty!

    SweettartRN replied to jerenemarie's topic in General Nursing

    Just my $0.02 but I am not terribly fond of Assisted Living facilities. I find that they often operate as LTC facilities, but charge 10 times more and have none of the regulations that SHOULD be in...

  12. Failed HD3 today... had a panic attack.

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I went to take HD3 today, and everything was going great. I knew the answers, was going through them carefully, yet quickly, and then right at question 53, my body decided it hated me and I started to...

  14. Anyone have this happen?

    SweettartRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Had a client today state that they didn't get their meds over the weekend. After checking the MAR I saw that he/she signed that they got them, and put it out of mind. At 1 pm today, client came and...

  15. Passed Health differences 1 today! One more to go!

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I plan to take HD3 in about 3 weeks. I really want to get the paper form of the FCCA and I am ready to be CPNE eligible. I am hoping to take my clinicals in NYC so I can visit the Big Apple, AND get...

  16. Working in methadone clinic

    SweettartRN replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Pegasus, I say go for it! You have nothing to lose. My girlfriend's clinic is done strictly with a computer that doses the clients. It's a friendly place, and it doesn't seem at all like a "drug...

  17. Working in methadone clinic

    SweettartRN replied to Pegasus65's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't work at a methadone clinic per say, but I work in rehab with drug addicts. I have a girlfriend who works at a methadone clinic, and she loves it. If you can tolerate head games, and be able...

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi All, I wanted to let you all know about a job scam that's going on here in Michigan. My girl friend alerted me to it last week, and then I got the same call. She was called by a gentleman who...

  19. Thank God! I passed Lifespan 2 today!

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    The second time around I might add. I did a little happy dance in the lobby. Since I'm on first name basis with the office gals they danced with me. Two more classes to go and then I am CPNE ready!...

  20. quick question about Edukan and excelsior college

    SweettartRN replied to kappykatlpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Best thing to do would be to call or email them and ask. They have always responded to me within a few hours whenever I email.

  21. My age is showing, or 'No texting, please"

    SweettartRN replied to mamamerlee's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing to do with age. I always cringe when I see co-workers mis-spell something little, and I am the first to point it out. I am a snob about proper grammar and people always go down a notch in my...

  22. I want my money for my book!

    SweettartRN replied to labrador4122's topic in Online Distance Learning

    He could just be being polite. There are situations where I wish I still had my 100 lbs. Med Surg book that I sold right after nursing school. I have since bought another one because I wanted the info...

  23. Someone signing "RN" when they are not

    SweettartRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend call today who works at an Assisted Living Center here in town and her supervisor is not a nurse. The supervisor today signed a doctor's order as John Smith, RN and she does not and has...

  24. Someone signing "RN" when they are not

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I am not the one who witnessed it. A friend who works as a CNA/Med Tech did and she was asking me what to do, so I posed the question to the lovely people here. :) Apparently the woman who...

  25. Previous employer making slanderous statements

    SweettartRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have heard through the grapevine through both previous co-workers and family members of the place that I was previously employed at, that the person who took over my position (and was previously...
