    roser13 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  3. Isopropyl Alcohol for Nausea (Protocol Info Needed)

    roser13 replied to mtcorias's topic in General Nursing

    roser13 replied to mtcorias's topic in General Nursing

    roser13 replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in Medical-Surgical

  6. Lvn/Pn vs RN

    roser13 replied to winter415's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As has been said by PP, you can certainly make a case for the reverse. In my experience (and only MY experience), some LVN's appear to bear grudges against RN's and resent that the RN is in a...

  7. Scared of Night Shift d/t Mental Health Dx

    roser13 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

  13. Anyone excited about your RN life ahead?

    roser13 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Get over yourself. Everyone works for their paycheck. Even Florence Nightengale. No one, and I mean NO ONE can afford to work because they value their worth to their patients. Of COURSE money is...

  14. ICU nurse

    roser13 replied to maidinh405's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CNA experience in the ICU will not give you an edge for an RN position. Completely different roles. However, if you made influential friends while in the ICU - all bets are

  15. How many med errors are acceptable for a new grad RN at a teaching hospital?

    roser13 replied to 1Jessie86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    roser13 replied to LobotRN's topic in General Nursing

    roser13 replied to JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm not sure how any of us could help you. Most nurses in general are having a tough time finding employment, even without stips. And LPN's are being phased out of some facilities/areas so there...

  22. Should I Go Back to School!!??

    roser13 replied to nthestar55's topic in General Nursing
