  1. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    livelaughlove09 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well they shouldn't be by God! (I'm being sarcastic

  2. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    livelaughlove09 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm not angry at all, and I haven't even begun to look for a job yet, that's a totally different thread. It is appalling that this issue could become a trend in some parts of our country. You can...

  3. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    livelaughlove09 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think it's a disgrace. All of it. Nurses are already overworked, underpaid, are put at risk of losing their license daily by policing Dr's orders and pharmacy, UAP and LPNs that they've delegated...

  4. Thinking about ditching the job search for a while...

    livelaughlove09 replied to criticalRN10's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's an excellent idea. I also think it's a definite leg up for you when you get back. There are a lot of nurse managers who will be interested in your experience and just think you're an...

  5. Evidence Based Practice Research

    livelaughlove09 replied to livelaughlove09's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you very much! About 5 minutes after I posted this I just did a google search for a few different things (I automatically turn off my google mindset when it comes to school work) and found the...

  6. Evidence Based Practice Research

    livelaughlove09 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am having a terrible time. We were given a writing assignment on evidence based practice and evaluation of a nursing intervention. I need to find a journal article that is the evaluation of a...

  8. Unlisenced assistive personell replacing nurse positions

    livelaughlove09 replied to Italia23's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    At least NY has addressed these issues and clarified them quite clearly. It sounds as if the MA is very limited in their practice in NY and it also sounds from the wording of that letter that there...

  9. Unlisenced assistive personell replacing nurse positions

    livelaughlove09 replied to Italia23's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm glad that you brought that up, it was interesting to see heparin used as an example earlier because we need to have 2 RN's sign off on heparin, and insulin, and morphine, just to name a few. On...

  10. Unlisenced assistive personell replacing nurse positions

    livelaughlove09 replied to Italia23's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, she's being sarcastic. I believe. At least I took it that way and laughed quite hard when I read that. A medical diagnosis done by a physician is totally different than a nursing diagnosis...

  11. termination from nursing school

    livelaughlove09 replied to cwgirl7's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above. Never even mind the fact that you're four months from graduation and this happened which makes me sick to my stomach to even think about. I can almost only utter "Wow, just...

  12. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    livelaughlove09 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I haven't finished reading all the posts yet. I saw this listing a while back while I was looking at new grad residency programs. Did I think the wage was ridiculous? Yes. Especially for an area...

  13. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    livelaughlove09 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    Wow, not being judgemental or anything but I think ya'll are plum crazy! LOL (just kidding) Seriously, my graduation is pinning and graduation. There are no lanterns, no whites, there's a cap and...

  14. New Grads Today v. New Grads From Years Ago

    livelaughlove09 replied to sj73201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so glad to see someone giving props to diploma nursing schools. I attend a very reputable diploma school of nursing that has been around for 100+ years. It's discouraging when people ask me what...

  15. New Grads Today v. New Grads From Years Ago

    livelaughlove09 replied to sj73201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Are you serious? Don't all schools do this? I have to do all of this research you mentioned, care planning, concept mapping, lab analysis, memorization of the meds, plus any hospital policy and...

  16. What did you struggle with most in nursing school?

    livelaughlove09 replied to mrgaylordfocker's topic in General Students

    amen. you either get it or you don't, and if you don't, you better get it because it rears its ugly head for the rest of your nursing school career and the rest of your life. i graduate in august...

  17. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    livelaughlove09 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly what I said. You took it out of context. The OP said this is a hospital, not a LTC facility. I stated that most of the RNs that I know of that have been hired directly to charge...

  18. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    livelaughlove09 replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my lord this is driving me crazy! The question that is screaming from my mind is how many RN's are actually working on this floor? She made no mention of how many RN's there are, just that there...

  20. Day in the life of a new RN Nursing student?

    livelaughlove09 replied to IrishGrrl19's topic in General Students

    LOL I'm in the Carolinas and I cringed at your schedule. Starting my 3rd semester and in an accelerated program and my schedule is going to be Tuesday 8:00 - 11:50 Med Surg II Lecture Tuesday 1:00...

  21. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    livelaughlove09 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    Ours is 80% too. The people make all the difference in the world. Ours could be much worse. We have a lot in common, I was on the job too. Much better suited to nursing I am.

  22. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    livelaughlove09 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    Yes, that's how I knew that so far this year we have 100% pass rates. The list is posted in our lobby, but I just looked it up online. Of the 71 schools listed 8 of them had 100% pass rates. The...

  23. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    livelaughlove09 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    We don't take the HESI, we take the ATI exams. I guess that makes sense how they do that then. I'd be sick to death if I completed a program and passed all my courses then didn't graduate because of...

  24. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    livelaughlove09 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    Sounds like you have a good solid plan. As for wait list nightmares, everyone has them, so don't let them get you down. One thing that you said concerns me though. Before you retake everything you...

  25. Nclex Pass rate for your school

    livelaughlove09 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    I discussed this with our faculty and they said that although they do confirm this happens in schools, this doesn't happen in ours. The ATI exam is a judge for THEM as faculty to see if they have...
