Hey Tony Congratualtions on the VA job!! I just applied for one in my area and I was wondering? How long does the process take? From reading your posts it looks like it took 6 weeks for you? that's pretty quick--Anyway the job I am applying for says ...

What is an INFP?

Good luck MissBrittanyRN on your interview--Is it a hospital or LTC or SNF? Or better yet L&D?

I find this position very interesting because ever since the culture has become less polite I find that people do not do the customary "Excuse me--Are you busy? Can I ask you a question?" Most people just start right in without any regard to if you a...

I do the same thing but now after I get changed and throw my clothes in the laundry I wipe down the door handles with Odo-Ban which kills viruses--then I am ready to interact with the family.

Here's something I found-- http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?ipath=EXIND&siteid=cbindeed&Job_DID=J8G5MS6SH6RSQKWGQ2S

I don't know whether Chantix works because I never tried it. What worked for me was --(I was a serious heavy smoker)--I bought a book by Alan Carr called "The easy way to quit Smoking"--read the book and then I bought an herb called Lobelia--it mimic...

Parisian french is very different than creole or canadian french but it will help to know the words I guess but the syntax is different, 600.00 will not get you very far in France not unless you are living in the countryside--but I don't think you wi...

Community College--frankly I think they are better than the university--at least in my area they are highly regarded. Graduate debt free--get a job in hospital and let them pay for your BSN--it is a no-brainer.

Do the ADN at a community college--it is much cheaper-- then get a job at a hospital that will pay for your BSN. Our hospital has an on campus class and in 2 years you have your BSN. The community college I went to for my ADN cost me 6000.00 for the...

Can someone tell me what a changeover is? I have never worked LTC.

Just curious--do you work for a large hospital? Which state? I was thinking about going to work for a large hospital here becuase I thought maybe it would be run better than an agency.

I know this may sound weird but the few times that I have been in that situation (clique barrier) I either ignored it entirely or made a point to purposefully interject myself into situations so they would have to deal with me. That works only if you...

"Here, Mr. Jones. Put your penis in the duck." OMG!! Do you know if you were in France and said that they would think you were talking literally--it is quite the fashion with the elites there (like Hollywood directors)--can anyone say Roman Polanski...

Bless You for taking care of your Mom and good luck with nursing school. Just a tip to save money in school--For textbooks you need--go to school bookstore and get ISBN numbers from books and then buy them on hal.com or ebay--you will save alot of mo...

I planned ahead for my Mom coming to live with me when I built my house--I put a separate living but connected area on it for her. She has been with me since 1997--she did get very ill about 3 years ago which accelerated my decision to take an early ...

Yes--This girl has the right answer!!!! Grill him Danno!!! If he is making these stories up he will be short on details and you will be able to expose him for the liar he is--Believe me--HE will be the 1 running away from you--not the other way aroun...

Loved Statistics--easiest math course I ever took--got a 96 on the final--Don't be afraid of it--I thought it would be hard too--but it wasn't--Good Luck!!!

First let me say I agree with everything that the OP stated---redundancy in documentation is ridiculous--but it will never get better unless we can do Tort Reform and cut down on the ridiculous amounts of frivilous lawsuits in the healthcare industry...

I'm just curious--how could you be a "B" nurse with a GPA of 3.96--just curious and congratulations on your MSN.

Are you sure she has to take NCLEX again? I just took a refresher course with several people away from nursing for 20 years and all they did was the refresher course and clinicals.

I took this from another link because she has the best advice for you to use. Hang in there!! TonydeMom says---- Re: Help? Need cheatt sheet while doing precepting in nursing home 1. Come to work early 2. Before you clock in get a resident census she...

I think she owes you some money--if you worked it then she owes you--just call her everyday or go to the business office. Why did you quit?

I don't want to play Doctor but could you perhaps be Bi_polar--the reason I ask is because all of the symptoms you describe my husband had until he was diagnosed as bi-polar--they put him on lithium which worked great and he has been fine since--as l...

You know I am glad that Vito addressed this because I was wondering the same thing about telling the family from the get go that congregating in the room while I am trying to do my job is a big fat NO NO. I don't have any hospital experience yet but ...
