  2. Im going to school for lpn. Is it worth it or not?

    Vegan_RN replied to jlopez92's topic in Nursing Career

    I think a lot depends upon your situation. I was in an abusive home and needed an education that would get me out and in my own apartment as quickly as possible. I became an LPN and got a good job...

  6. New Grad RN-DROWNING in Dialysis- Help Needed!

    Vegan_RN replied to RNtobeinSoCal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do the same....the post assessment during the last few minutes they are on the machine....but with 36 patients, and often me the only one doing assessments, it's not always possible. As I said,...

  7. New Grad RN-DROWNING in Dialysis- Help Needed!

    Vegan_RN replied to RNtobeinSoCal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's tough. Post treatment assessments are very often underdone/neglected. I honestly rely a lot on my PCT's. Sometimes a patient has been terminated and is out the door before I even get to...

  8. Is this what being an RN in dialysis is like?

    Vegan_RN replied to barbwire's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    My first six months as a dialysis nurse were beyond horrible. I went home crying almost on a daily basis, and all I dreamed of was quitting. My friend encouraged me to tough it out, saying that it...

  9. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    Vegan_RN replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is both a sceince and an art. You have to have a base knowledge of the nursing process, but you also have to have good perceptive skills, instinct, compassion, people skills, good...

  11. Irritated that everyone feels the need to mention they want to help people

    Vegan_RN replied to Trenbolone Acetate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. Although I went into the profession to help others (I was seriously ill as a young adult, nearly dying and received compassionate care by an RN that I wanted to emulate), the...

  12. What should EVERY nurse know about Dialysis

    Vegan_RN replied to Twink's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I would tell the would-be dialysis nurse that you have to have thick skin. Especially in a chronic unit, you'll feel like a hampster in a wheel....running as fast as you can, but never reallly...

  14. Nurses regularly assigned tech station

    Vegan_RN replied to jlynn2303's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I very often (3 out of my 4 days a week) take a shift of patients, as well as helping the charge nurse. Personally, I think it's a waste of money. They pay me, and RN, what a PCT or LVN/LPN could...
