  1. 40 year old starting NS and taking the ACT

    fortune-teller replied to powers2004's topic in General Nursing

    The average age for RN is about 47. You are young. With determination, I am sure you can do it. Good

  2. No more LPNs?

    fortune-teller replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Phasing out LPN's? My answer consists of 2 words: Not possible. Rationale: 75 million baby boomers and RN's cannot take care of all those aging patients alone. Many people/nurses have been saying it...

  4. Abandonment

    fortune-teller replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    "Wow. This seems like very bad advice. Once you accept an assignment, you are responsible for care, which would guarantee that you could be charged with abandonment if you try to leave in the middle...

  5. Abandonment

    fortune-teller replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    You just hope the DON is not going to report it to the FL-BON. The way to approach this problem is to take the assignment first even it is unsafe, then you proceed to discuss your concern with the...

  6. Is it worth going to school to be an LPN?

    fortune-teller replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    If you could get into an RN Program, you should go for it. However, if that is not the case, you can use the LPN Program as a stepping stone. The very first time when I heard some nurses said that...

  7. Confrontation with a Visitor

    fortune-teller replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I am not so sure if your bosses were really "understand." I think all the bosses are diplomatic and smooth talking is part of it. Have you noticed that some nurses are doing the same thing? In front...

  8. Incident report on residnet who went out door. Advice

    fortune-teller replied to ElderCare Nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You must also read the OP statement--the very first post in this thread. You will come up with a bigger picture because I was responding to the OP. In this case, there is no need for an incident...

  9. Confrontation with a Visitor

    fortune-teller replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    The administrator was correct as there is no evidence at all. A nurse's "intuition" is just not good enough in this

  10. Incident report on residnet who went out door. Advice

    fortune-teller replied to ElderCare Nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You must quote my post entirely! I said an incident report is not needed and I stand by my decision;however, it seems to me you intentionally left out the big part of it. Anyhow, I rest my case, as...

  11. Confrontation with a Visitor

    fortune-teller replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    how do you know the wife is controlled by that man? are you closely related to them? is op's intuition a standard for all of us? it is just not right to judge a person when we are not even there. if...

  12. Confrontation with a Visitor

    fortune-teller replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't there so I don't think it is appropriate for me to judge what that man did. Different cultures have different ways to approach women. When you work in one of the Arab countries, you can't...

  13. What are common problems at Nursing Homes

    fortune-teller replied to Nursebabe2009's topic in General Nursing

    So much work...so little time. You finally realized that you only have two hands and just 10 fingers and it is not

  14. Volunteering Overseas?

    fortune-teller replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    Doctor without Border! Requirement: 2 years experiences in your specialty! Pay: Very little! No student loan forgiveness! Good luck! I always respect those who

  15. Incident report on residnet who went out door. Advice

    fortune-teller replied to ElderCare Nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Both of them are the same! The second one I had to spend more time to define the first one! What do you mean by "your prior statement...erroneous?" An incident report is not needed in this case due to...

  16. Incident report on residnet who went out door. Advice

    fortune-teller replied to ElderCare Nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have already stated it! What did she do when she encountered a problem and this is an intervention... The state knows the nurses are unable to prevent all the incidents/problems from happening; but...

  17. Is shadowing beneficial?

    fortune-teller replied to j_audrey's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on who you are shadowing. Shadowing a good one is a plus, but shadowing one that is unorganized and unwelcome is a NO,

  18. BSN vs. ADN + BS in other field

    fortune-teller replied to daffodils711's topic in General Nursing

    BSN is preferred! You see it here! You will see it again in any employment ad! AAS in Nursing + Other BS/BA

  19. Med Pass Timing in LTC

    fortune-teller replied to mariyahsmommy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is one of the major problems in the LTC unit....Time management and the amount of work that is more than you can handle by your 2 hands and 10 fingers. Always use your own judgment! Some...

  20. Incident report on residnet who went out door. Advice

    fortune-teller replied to ElderCare Nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is no need for any incident report unless a harm/injury is being done to the resident. Anyhow, for your information, you must document the findings in the nurses notes. Plus, you also have to...

  21. application for endorsement

    fortune-teller replied to 026K's topic in California Nursing

    No 2 nurses are the same! Some nurses can't find work because of many reasons such as unstable work history--jumping from one job to another in less than 6 months is a big red flag to some recruiters....

  22. application for endorsement

    fortune-teller replied to 026K's topic in California Nursing

    Did you apply for a temporary license? Two weeks after I sent out my application, they printed my temp license. However, the CA-BRN stated that the FBI rejected my fingerprints due to the poor quality...

  23. application for endorsement

    fortune-teller replied to 026K's topic in California Nursing

    I am just tired of being in New York City. I have been here since 1982 and it is time to see the sun set in the Pacific Ocean. Plus, I am so tired of the work in the Med/Surgical ICU or Trauma ER. I...

  25. Hiring freeze lifted at certain hospitals?

    fortune-teller replied to girls1's topic in New York Nursing

    Good luck! By the way, they allow you to park your car on the 4th floor and you have to apply for it. In my case, it took them nearly 3 weeks to give me the permission to do so. The 4th Floor parking...
