  1. Nursing student needing Help

    delilas replied to tamabalj's topic in General Nursing

    If a nurse in the field gives you an answer, it's going to be painfully obvious, and you're going to be in a worse situation than not knowing what to say. Stacy has good advice, go with

  2. CNAs, LPNs, RNs and Pumps and Pearls Please Advise

    delilas replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great thread - just great. I worked in a facility during clinicals that had aides like the ones exasperating you. Unfortunately, their DON and ward nurses were just as useless. We ended up getting...

  3. 1 year in and I cannot do bedside anymore!

    delilas replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel, but I was lucky enough to know it during clinicals in school. Even though I didn't hate the work, I knew that working the elderly or confused in bedside was not what I wanted....

  5. Website Indeed for Nursing Jobs

    delilas replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of it before, but just doing a couple searches found me quite a few LPN jobs I wasn't aware of in my area (I search for hospital LPN positions fairly often for a way to get my foot in...

  6. Help me to prepare for OR interview

    delilas replied to kocheli's topic in General Nursing

    The only time you have to worry about that is if you don't meet some lifting requirements they may have posted. I don't know why, but one job I looked at once posted you had to be able to lift a...

  8. Help me to prepare for OR interview

    delilas replied to kocheli's topic in General Nursing

    It's a hard market right now, you need to put forth EVERY thing you can to put yourself above any other applicant - especially if its your dream job. I think one of the most important things is to...

  9. Grey's Anatomy Scrubs for cheap?

    delilas replied to KateRN1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Also, to OP - I just stumbled across these Greys Anatomy scrubs. I think they are only doing the blue color (?) but they are 17.99 http://www.nursesdirect.com/search/?search=RC670INDIGO Hope that...

  10. Grey's Anatomy Scrubs for cheap?

    delilas replied to KateRN1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Score! Thank you! My budget is super tight and my biggest thing is the fabric. I have super sensitive skin and most cheap scrubs, even with multiple washes, still feel overstarched and scratchy to me....

  11. Why is this not in ANY of my books?

    delilas replied to Jay2daq's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In my LPN maternity nursing, I learned a deviation to the right OR left indicated a distended bladder...but I've never come across the NCLEX question to confirm the left

  12. Your CALL LIGHT privileges have been revoked!!!

    delilas replied to amiro31's topic in General Nursing

    I laughed so hard! I wish I were as brave.

  13. LVN or RN

    delilas replied to itsjaypee08's topic in LPN to RN

    For me, the decision was hard too. I am an LPN who is now deciding to go through with RN schooling. My LPN tuition was 16,000 - of which, I took out about 10k in loans for. My pay is about 32,000 a...

  14. Need shots for school...but...

    delilas posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm an LPN, currently attending for RN. My next clinical site requires H1N1 and seasonal flu shot records. Three weeks ago, I had the flu. My doctor believed it to be H1N1. I cannot receive a blood...

  15. Need shots for school...but...

    delilas replied to delilas's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for your help! We have a lot of cases, especially with children and teens, in local hospitals here. But they are asking here (at least at the health department, where I went) if you have...

  16. Got a minute? I could use some advice, please.

    delilas replied to skyjunky's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked as a manager in food service in both Illinois and Ohio, it was illegal to give any word other than facts about an employee. The only time we could state more than their dates of...

  17. Know of Any ADN Programs With No Wait List?

    delilas replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hondros College in Columbus OH - Im currently attending, there is no wait list - either your entrance score is good enough to get in, or you're denied (basically). It is accelerated, you receive an...

  18. What is ecomony doing to first year LPN grads?

    delilas replied to catmscott's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Its realistic! That's exactly how long mine will take - but I attended a step program school which is designed to get you your LPN and then your RN in sequence. My hours are currently I only work on...

  19. What is ecomony doing to first year LPN grads?

    delilas replied to catmscott's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, I'm an LPN! I was interested in hospital work, too, so am going through with my RN schooling to get there. Home health is one way to get on with hospitals here, but I work through an agency....

  20. What is ecomony doing to first year LPN grads?

    delilas replied to catmscott's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here (central Ohio) LPNs do not work in hospitals nearly at all - it is very difficult for an LPN to work at a hospital, because they need RN's for the nursing work and just use CNA's for the cleanup...

  21. I was questioning whether I wanted to be a nurse from the threads on allnurses.com

    delilas replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has their bad days, and nurses see some of the worst things every day. Even if they love their jobs, they need (and deserve!) to vent - especially since there often isn't anyone at home who...

  22. Considering air force nursing

    delilas replied to J.L.Harper3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That might be the case, I never asked (would have been a good question of me to ask, too!). It might depend on age and all as well, but for it's part, the recruiter told me the Air Force is far better...

  23. Considering air force nursing

    delilas replied to J.L.Harper3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I went through the same thing. I live about an hour away from a huge air force base with a hospital that employs nearly 2,000. My brother is in army, so I have a bit of familiarity with military. I...

  24. Nursing salary

    delilas replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in General Nursing

    Even within region, it differs from each facility. A local hospital pays all unspecialized the nurses the same amount for the number of years they have worked there (regardless of years of previous...

  25. Did I cause my patient to die faster?

    delilas replied to lou_tango's topic in General Nursing

    You're a CNA. She's a nurse. In the end, what happens with that patient was her (and the nurse on the prior shift) responsibility. If they knew both CNAs were turning patients and really believed...
