Apply as an RN and take a paycut. What employers can refuse this offer? For example RN's can do piggybacks and other procedures that LPN can not. this is such a sweet deal !:)

All advices meant well from the above. I'm a bit surprised of some detected harshness from some of our fellow nurses. What is wrong w/ you people???? I think you need to talk again to you neurologist regarding your medication and treatment and a le...

Wow , well said !!!!! It covered a lot of areas that are extremel;y important . The legality , the principle, the intervention process , etc. It looks to me that this place of work is poorly trained in a lot of things.....sadly, they work in a place ...

hi , skills are not learned from books . You practice a lot to get the skills. so heads up. Practice makes perfect , or you may be jsut so nervous, maybe?

Amen !

Sad day indeed ! But what saddens me even more are those employees throwing staples and cups in her face. These are adults? More shame in their part ....they are sober and picking on an intoxicated , helpless person . this person obviously needs help...

I think knowing ACLS is definiteley a plus, knowing you can do what you need to do ...but also you can only be good at something if it is used frequently . In the med surg it is not used frequenly , and there is the code specialists that does this A...

Easy buck ??? Well let them find out on their own , then come back and tell us ?????

Gpa may be important , but the focus is how much of the science pre requisites have you completed? ( might need a pre req algebra, then organic chem and this might need a basic chem pre req, anatomy and might need a biology pre reqs.......... see w...

yes, it is & just one of them. Most pre req are hard, but once you get more and finish them , the more confidence you will have. Do not be discourage. anatomy requires a lot of memory work.:)

really , i do not understand why they do not have a security in hospitals...lots of people in grief or crazy that could just walked in and out! the security should also be for the patients safety as well as the employees. the law is the law ...you t...

:crying2:Sadly , yes. Look around , what is happening ? Greed and profiteering is all that matters. There is no connection among us. Some are so blatantly rich , and the other side , some are so poor and do not even have the basic necessities....whil...

You know , employeers comes in different colors. Some will not care about that as long as it is not a present occupation, some just do not care as long as you are doing your job well within your defined role, and if you do come across an employer wh...

I agree w/ JPchouston. I did the LVN when I temporarily suspended my RN study...I had an excellent Dean of Nursing and she was the best suportive and wise woman, and adviced me to go to the LVN for one semester, and I was done. I was able to work w/...

:) Check out the government jobs also --- veterans admisnistration for example.....they have all sorts of outpatient care or something . G ot USA.gov jobs and put in the island or islands that you are in. I am sure you will like your decision . Every...

Yes, I have heard of places like this and even not in rural areas. These places are like dysfunctional families....a lot of inappropriate things allowed to happen. But when it comes to a patients well being and their life , there is no room for this....

Oh mamalumps..... what is happening to you w/ the husband getting insecured because of your new career is nothing new. Half of my classmates almost dropped out because of stress from immature and insecure husbands ! I was already separated from him ...

See there are kudos in nursing.....just like any other job, those 12-16 hours is doable for me , and get a lot of days off. there are always unhappy people out there------if you can stay away from them or minimize your association w/ them. Hang aro...

Panties w/ a hole in them ? Wow , very creative......maybe we can market this in the colonoscopy clinics to add character to their butt procedure? How about a colon video tour to share w/ your friends next time they come over for dinner or visit?

Of course I would love to share! My student days were hectic, but loved it because my instructors were truly helpful and not playing the power game as some instructors do. I was not happy in med surg. because I really did not have time to really talk...

Really ?? you have tolerance to the drugs? should they give more versed ? this other med ---would insurance pay for this ? I had two of these things and they went just fine.......I simply fell asleep. Maybe a stronger versed dosage and a demerol? ......

If you are detailed oriented , nursing research may be the best arena for you ? and you are right , there are so may areas and specialty. I did not stay long in med surg-----It was more of a assembly line for me, only you are dealing s/ peoples lives...

If being a nurse is your passion , then go for it....if it is not , then you will find it yourself as a first hand information , and not from others. I think being an NP eventually is a good plan ...better yet specialize on geriatrics ----very few sp...

:smokin:That is okay. I find it entertaining! but nothing really to be uptight about. She is trying to be funny w/ this colonoscopy stuff and I like it. I had 2 and I will be getting another colonoscopy this coming friday. The last two was a breeze...
