Why would anyone want to divert Haldol? Is this a thing?

Also entirely possible that she wants you to do,CNA work cause youre good at it Maybe she has trouble finding others to do a job as well. If so, its a one-sided arrangement. Shes getting what she wants/needs without considering your needs. Move on...

Same at our unit

Never going to happen. I was told this when I graduated as a LVN over 30 years ago. Granted, job descrition has changed and There's not as many opportunities for the LVN. But phase them out---nope

Advice i give the ones that ask and yes, we do get new docs smart enough to ask, : be nice to the nursing staff and always have a reason for what you do. I love watching them grow from first years on

I think you could get a job as a experienced nurse in a wheelchair. Probably not many openings in the hospital unless maybe education. There are phone triage, case management, nurse educators, even some Dr office jobs could be workable outside of hospitals. As a new grad Experience might be an issue but with the right attitude and perseverance, you could overcome that. Having said that, I don't know how you could do nursing school. As a RN you could skip jobs that require more physical skills than you're able to do. As a student, you can't skip anything. I hope you find a way, though, and please keep us updated

I'm guessing nothing is wrong with Commuter. I was a LVN 6 years-- didnt get treated like that either

What are the things that keep you here at this hospital? How would you describe the nursing culture? What is your nurse retention rate? How many new nurses in last year? As a new nurse,what kind of growth opportunties would be available to me?

Good job, OP! You were really watching out for your patient!

References please? You keep getting told this was not the case. So back it up with some facts...

I have been a nurse for well over 35 ish years With multiple jobs in many different areas. NEVER has having a student been in any of my job descriptions. The job description you're thinking of is Clinical Instructor, lol

I know what you're saying about your experience-- you are a student nurse that says your observations "should have grabbed her attention". As if you know where her attention should be. Her attention was most likely where it should have been-- with her patient. Book knowledge is good but it doesnt trump the pt's nurses' both book knowledge and working knowledge. I didnt belittle your book knowledge-- i held up a mirror for you to see how you were presenting yourself.

"Should have grabbed her attention". You truly think that you know better than this pt's nurse where her attention should be? If you know all this as a *** student***, why even bother to ask questions? Surely, with all your book experience, you already know the answer I dont blame her. I would not have engaged either

I believe this too. Cannot/ willnot believe this is teal

Mr Phil Quote>I hope - I sincerely hope - that all of my instructors are as strict and awful as you seem to be upset about. I want to so thoroughly know what I'm doing that when I end up done with nursing school the hospitals I do my clinicals at are tripping over themselves to offer me a job.> unquote And yet again, another non- nurse (as evidenced from 2nd post I quoted) weighing in with their so knowledgable opinion on how good of a nurse a poster might be. *smh* With all that critical thinking going on about OP 's study habits, did it never cross your mind that maybe you should -- gee, at least complete nursing school before you judge OP's nursing abilities so harshly?

You beat me to it. I was just coming to post the very same thing.

So I've reread the OP notes. I can't find where she said this was a math test . It was her nursing final. It might have had some math...

Actually, I never said she should pass or not pass. I even noted that in my experience nursing schools have very little flexability. My objection is that you assume because she has ADD she's going to make mistakes. She requires testing accomadations-- that's not the same as "allowing" her to pass Nope, not saying standard are pointless That's on you. You tried to educate the OP on the standards of nursing My point is that ske is a practicing LVN for almost 10 years. She knows the standards. Perhaps better than you. [ATTACH]22337[/ATTACH]

Your sarcasm does not reflect well on you. (just in case you thought it was coming across as witty)

What??? You know all of that was quoted, right? My only contribution to that was to point out the irony Hence, " pot, meet kettle" directed at OP that I quoted.

Your profile says " prenursing student". You've posted inaccuracies before such as: LVN is just about the same as a high school graduate. This is just as inaccurate. There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.” ― Goethe

Quote-Kenny Rogers- Excuse me ? What sort of a question is that? I am not a 2 year old I am very well aware of the challenges of both fields and I am aware that they are very different and intensive. If you do not have positive suggestions then you don't need to comment and I bet you are a nurse too ? With such a nasty attitude? Pot, meet kettle.

I took a refresher course when I returned to nursing after a long stretch off. The course was ok. What I used the course for in job interviews is that it showed my determination and commitment to my personal nursing excellence. Worked for me... Eventually . Be persistant

This. Don't say a word to anyone of your plans It only puts a target on your back
