  1. I want out of this mess

    futurecnm replied to nanae_snow's topic in General Nursing

    I have to politely disagree, and maybe it is where I live but I am a novice RN and I am getting a great orientation and almost everyone I know from school is also. I also know what a "proper"...

  2. I want out of this mess

    futurecnm replied to nanae_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not like this. Before all of this not going to work or calling in, you should have definately gone in and voiced your concerns to your manager. You should document all the unsafe issues...

  3. Metric system conversions..need I say more?

    futurecnm replied to Buffy31's topic in General Nursing

    you will never use dL. THat wasn't even ever on our med tests in school. More like mL to oz or oz to CC

  4. Soon to be nursing student seeking advice.

    futurecnm replied to Zalan's topic in General Nursing

    I would check to see if local hospitals hire LPN's (I'm assuming you want to work in the hospital?) because where I am, they are not hiring many. Some have been working there a while and they still...

  5. night shift advice...

    futurecnm replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift isn't for everyone, and I guess you will find out if it works for you!! I am not a night shift person. I don't mind staying up late but overnights are really hard for me. Mainly because...

  6. What are the traditional uniforms worn by hospital personnel?

    futurecnm replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in General Nursing

    It would be great if the RN could give all care but that isn't reality. Without CNA/unlicense personel, we would be too busy to give good nursing

  7. RNs...What are the CNA's duty in the hospital you work ?

    futurecnm replied to KdnRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    It is a good experience. You get used to dealing with patients and being in the hospital. It is also hard work. You do much of the patient cares such as bath, hygeine, feeding, cleaning etc. It can...

  8. Help! I Want To Transfer To The Er!

    futurecnm replied to deeh's topic in Emergency

    We have to have ACLS, PALS and TNCC. I'm doing them all during

  9. job interview

    futurecnm replied to lovebug1092's topic in Emergency

    you had an interview for this job or another one? I'm confused.. anyway, always have a few good questions to ask. That shows you have been thinking about it and are

  10. Question for ER moms

    futurecnm replied to RN_in_SC's topic in Emergency

    I'm not pregnant and I wouldn't want to be exposed to 15 xrays a night either! Something is wrong with that if you are regularly exposed to xray... ??? We have very pregnant women working right now...

  11. Is your manager not paying when you work through your break?

    futurecnm replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that was the wrong term, we use our ID to punch in and out, but pretty much the same idea as a timecard, just electronic. What do you use to record your hours?? i'm assuming you record your...

  12. Is your manager not paying when you work through your break?

    futurecnm replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, if you do not take your lunch, you charge for that 30 min and get paid for working through lunch. it is in the union contract and nurses need to fight for fair pay if they work through...

  13. Perfectionist? Nervous Nilly? Worrier?

    futurecnm replied to OregonGal's topic in General Nursing

    I am not trying to be harsh, but I think you gave up on the CNA job way too soon. After 3 days, anyone would still be really nervous. What are you going to do when you get a nursing job and it is 20...

  14. Against vaccines:

    futurecnm replied to Gavsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Just be reading your post, I would advise you against this as a career. Nurses are supposed to protect the public, and vaccines are for the protection of everyone. IF you have that much anxiety by...

  15. How do my chances look

    futurecnm replied to doodoobutter's topic in General Nursing

    You would not need calculus for nursing. The basics that most colleges want are A&P I and II, general biology, microbiology, psychology, sociology, communications, and some other liberal arts...

  16. need answers about working during clinicals...

    futurecnm replied to unsure4now's topic in General Nursing

    if you find a family/work friendly program it can be done. i went to a night/weekend rn program (associates) and we had class 2 nights a week and clinical every other weekend. however, to make it work...

  17. Need Positive "Cheerleader" Phrases for 1st job

    futurecnm replied to in2ICU's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. I think that as a patient, I'd rather have someone just listen rather than say something with false hope. It seems fake to just say something that isn't true. I find that just...

  18. About to graduate..to start a family or find a job?

    futurecnm replied to dreamct's topic in General Nursing

    work first to establish yourself and gain experience and seniority. I see you are only 30 so you have lots of time to have babies. I am 34 and will work at least a year before/if I have a 3rd child....

  19. Just got rejection letter, what happened?

    futurecnm replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Burnt out or not, an interview is your one and only chance to make a good impression. Maybe you appeared tired or worn out. I'd make sure to be well

  20. Just got rejection letter, what happened?

    futurecnm replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    It really does sound like they were interested, or else they would not have had a shadow day. Unfortunately the nurse you shadowed with probably did not think you were a good fit because after that...

  21. Which Master's Degree should I apply for?

    futurecnm replied to calebsmom0822's topic in General Nursing

    But even if you do the masters in lactation, you still would have to meet the requirements to become a IBCLC anyway, so you might as well use the time to gain hours and go straight for the

  22. Do you take NCLEX exam if you do ADN - BSN program?

    futurecnm replied to student86's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be interested if the poster mean the NCLEX-PN or NCLEX

  23. Tncc

    futurecnm replied to crb613's topic in Emergency

    This class is required of the new ED nurses within a year I think. So, all of us will be fairly new. I am taking it in a couple months, I guess I wasn't worried about

  24. Which Master's Degree should I apply for?

    futurecnm replied to calebsmom0822's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to be a lactation consultant, you can do that by working in OB/postpartum and gaining hours counseling moms. You can also get certified as a lactation counselor as a start point. I would...

  25. Do you take NCLEX exam if you do ADN - BSN program?

    futurecnm replied to student86's topic in General Nursing

    Is this recently? If so, I am shocked. To qualify to take the NCLEX and get an authorization to test, your school has to send in the paperwork that you completed ALL graduation requirements and...
