  1. Just curious - Age 35+ make it hard to find job?

    lady_jezebel replied to DanaS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was offered 6 out of 6 positions interviewed for as a new grad at age 33. There are many people in your situation, and unlike other fields of work, age is of little relevance in nursing. As for your...

  2. Reality Shock

    lady_jezebel replied to RnAngl's topic in General Nursing

  4. TPN and NPO

    lady_jezebel replied to julie978's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of stopping TPN before a procedure. Could it be b/c of the way it affects labs (either renal/liver, glucose, or electrolytes)? I'd like to know,

  5. Please help! Taking Nclex w/o nutrition class!

    lady_jezebel replied to lpninthemaking's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    lady_jezebel replied to lisa41rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm going through a long orientation for transfer into the ICU, and I've noticed that many of the younger nurses are the same way. It's beyond me why a nurse...

  8. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

    lady_jezebel replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Getting back to the OP, I think many nursing theories are a bunch of garbage. They are discussed in the academic arena ad nauseum, but of no use in the "real world" of bedside nursing. Of course we...

  9. Better to have a BSN as an FNP?

    lady_jezebel replied to serpico79000's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  13. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    lady_jezebel replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

  14. What can an RN do than an LPN can't?

    lady_jezebel replied to pdpeanut's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "sit at a desk all day and do paperwork"???? Boy, is she clueless. The nursing staff at any hospital consists mostly of RNs. Of course anyone can get a desk job if they want, but most RNs work at the...

    lady_jezebel replied to Martibear's topic in First Year After Licensure

  21. What initials do I place after my name??

    lady_jezebel replied to BikerRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    On my nametag I have "RN, BSN" ... but we don't have to add our degrees on our nametag. Many choose to just have "RN" listed. When I sign off medications, orders or paperwork, the only thing relevant...
