  1. Discounts for nurses

    meluhn replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    I cant believe it, I shop there all the time and I never knew. I think Ann Taylor Loft does something like this for

  2. Can you graduate summa cum laude,magna cum laude, or cum laude from a college if you

    meluhn replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Students

    I went from an adn program to an rn-bsn program. You needed a certain amount of credits in the 2nd program to qualify for those honors. I had a 3.75 but not enough credits, and so was not eligible....

  3. Is there a name for this?

    meluhn replied to snowmaiden2005's topic in General Nursing

    Did you ever try asking her why she does

  4. Is there a name for this?

    meluhn replied to snowmaiden2005's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like OCD which sometimes goes hand in hand with Tourettes. Does she have other anxiety issues? These things tend to be exacerbated by

  5. Having an ethical dilema

    meluhn replied to meluhn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I was just wondering...Do you teach in an ADN program? Do you think it makes a difference weather it is an LPN program or an RN program? Are the students any different? I know the politics were...

  6. Having an ethical dilema

    meluhn posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am a new nursing instructor at a technical school for an LPN program. I am finding the calliber of students being admitted is extremely disappointing. Some students are pushed along despite...

  7. Putting in your own orders

    meluhn replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Sometimes the unit secretaries get too cocky. Most of ours are nice but there is one that bullies some of the more timid nurses. I don't see any other college educated professionals being...

  8. Advice for a New Grad RN After Quitting job/ Orientation after 5 & 1/2 months

    meluhn replied to DonovanRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely the clinic job. Oncology is a high burnout area because it is so sad and the patients are so sick. The clinic job sounds great and I don't think it will mess up your resume at all. You...

  9. What do patients say that irks you?

    meluhn replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOL. This is funny to me because I kept asking "How much does she weigh?" after my daughter was born. I dont know why, its just one of those vital statistics that you want to know and will remember...

  10. New grad burnt out

    meluhn replied to smilealot's topic in General Nursing

    i dont think it is as sinister as you are making it sound. dont forget, the op said she is in a very, very rural area. that means that they probably have a true nsg shortage. she is probably one of...

  11. Is it ever appropriate to tell someone...

    meluhn replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I agree with you on this point, however, I would not tell her to quit for a different reason. I started an LPN program when I was 21 and very immature and stupid. My one instructor never cared for...

  12. Press Ganey

    meluhn replied to cardiacmadeline's topic in General Nursing

    are you serious? i cant believe it. change a baby's diaper? clean up dog poop? did they actually tell you you should do

  13. Having an ethical dilema

    meluhn replied to meluhn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thank you for the encouraging words but this post is old and it has been 9 months since I left teaching and returned to my job at the hospital. At least there I felt respected and appreciated. I...

  14. Start nursing school with a newborn at home?

    meluhn replied to nurse2B444's topic in General Nursing

    Its hard to focus on anything else when you have this cute little person you just want to play with all day. I started an LPN program when my 1st daughter was 3 months old. I used to cry when I had...

  15. RN/Post BSN Nursing Certificates

    meluhn replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    Go to the association of the certification you want to get, ie case management assoc. etc. They may not have an online class but they will have materials for sale that you can study independently or...

  16. Manic and Addicted Nurse Manager

    meluhn replied to erroridiot's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe becoming the DON is the only way to get rid of her and still keep your job. They can't be that in love with her if they offered you her job. If the place is a mess already and they have a...

  17. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    meluhn replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I always direct them to the kitchenette or the cafeteria. If you are too accomodating they start taking it for granted and asking for anything that they can think

  18. Why would I NOT help? I'm confused.

    meluhn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Our nurse practitioner would never do something like that. Don't get me wrong, we love her to death and she is very down to earth but she just has so much dumped on her by the mds that she is busy...

  19. heres one...speaking other languages in front of patients

    meluhn replied to VM85's topic in General Nursing

    I still think it's rude because they were deliberatly excluding you from the conversation. We have many Philipino nurses on the nite shift were I work, they all speak English when we are around and I...

  20. Health Care Reform

    meluhn replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is what concerns me. I dont mind paying for the "unfortunate". However, how we determine who is unfortunate and who is just a lazy leech, is a very gray area. I personally am lucky enough to...

  21. Blood return prior to using PICC or CVC?

    meluhn replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    The placement is always verified by xray initially. Do you mean if the pic is being used and then one day you cant get a blood return you have to check placement

  22. what do you regret?

    meluhn replied to Rosa523's topic in General Students

    After the day I had today, I regret ever going to nursing school. I wish I were a librarian or

  23. No She/he Did Not!!!

    meluhn replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    Sounds like the nursing school I used to teach at. But hey, at 24K a head, the customer is always right. These same students would be promoted and not disciplined at

  24. What is your "Dreams" for the rest of your life!!

    meluhn replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    I have several dreams, don't really know which ones I'll get to. First, I'd like to get my masters and be a family np, then maybe do some travel nursing around the country with my husband and dog,...
