    MissBrittanyRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Tech to be's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  3. New Grads and Resumes

    MissBrittanyRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. A new hire expecting a very unexpected surprise in 9 months! HELP!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to AAAZ's topic in California Nursing

    Well where I worked it was rather simple, however it depends on the policy and process for where you work. Many places don't even have the option, but we were fortunate to. Basic if somebody had a...

  5. Calling all once-upon-a-time ER new grads!

    MissBrittanyRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    You never know what might walk through the door when you are working in the emergency department. How did you learn so much, and feel prepared before your shift? When you specialize, OB for example,...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have an interview at an urgent care center, and although I don't want to get ahead of myself, they are not brand new, but a fairly new business. Of course I will ask lots of questions during my...

  8. Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard of LNAs. As for LPNs, I have learned a lot from them during nursing school. I spent 26 clinical days at a site that employees LPNs as staff nurses, and as many of them were assigned...

  9. Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a difference between "certified" and "licensed?" If a certification is different than a license, then would a "certified nursing assistant" be considered Unlicensed Assistive

  10. Expelled :(

    MissBrittanyRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    I don't really know the details. We weren't really friends, just classmates. She didn't get too detailed when she told me, but I believe he was already her attorney. I don't think it was a long...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to mydee's topic in Nursing Humor

  12. Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked as a CNA I did not want to be called a nurse, nor do I think a CNA should be called a nurse. I do think CNAs are a very import asset to the team and many CNAs are highly skilled at what...

  14. Call me crazy! Anyone know where I can work for free / volunteer / learn?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thank you for posting and for the advice. However, I would think that temporary RN positions would be a bad idea for a new grad, and that hiring managers would be uncomfortable with inexperience,...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

  16. A new hire expecting a very unexpected surprise in 9 months! HELP!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to AAAZ's topic in California Nursing

    Well 16 days is at least 3 weeks, depending on how many days per week you work, right? If you work 3 days per week that's like 5 weeks! I agree, try picking up extra shifts. Have only been working...

  17. Expelled :(

    MissBrittanyRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    Well first of all I am sorry about your situation. I have not personally been through it, but a classmate of mine was close to expulsion for another reason, that did not seem fair. She went above the...

  18. A new hire expecting a very unexpected surprise in 9 months! HELP!

    MissBrittanyRN replied to AAAZ's topic in California Nursing

    It may not be FMLA, but will you accrue paid time off based on the hours that you work? If so, all that I can suggest is that you try to save up all of that. I have never had to take a leave like...

  23. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Too bad you don't have an annonymous reporting hotline. We had one where I worked as a tech. It was effective, and prompt, but sometimes it turned into a tattle-tail hotline for insignificant things...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to kayleebailey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    MissBrittanyRN replied to kayleebailey's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That depends on your curriculum. I never would have know that from nursing school. I knew that, based on info gathered outside of nursing school. I bet you have to watch a lot of CSI for that lol....
