  1. RN's forced to do CNA work

    enchantmentdis replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was a cna long before becoming an RN, and yes when i'd have to be a "sitter" or a cna for a day, i didn't like it.

  2. RN's forced to do CNA work

    enchantmentdis replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What the heck can she(the op) say; the same old thing, she doesn't want to me a CNA and didn't go to school for that. Can't blame the op one bit. Others just can't handle someone being honest about...

  3. A nurse has an RN but did not get a diploma or BSN

    enchantmentdis posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi folks: Quick question. If an RN became a nurse years ago but did not graduate from nursing school, either with a BSN or Diploma, what would they have to go through to get accepted into an online...

  4. A nurse has an RN but did not get a diploma or BSN

    enchantmentdis replied to enchantmentdis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To "classicdame": I have showed my friend this site and tried to get him to join, or to at least read through some of the posts. His response was "oh, i've been there before, just a buncha mean...

  5. A nurse has an RN but did not get a diploma or BSN

    enchantmentdis replied to enchantmentdis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I consider it a big oversite that the school this guy attended to allow him to nearly get through the program, take the NCLEX before he's finished just to cover a nursing shortage, and that no nursing...

  6. A nurse has an RN but did not get a diploma or BSN

    enchantmentdis replied to enchantmentdis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    He is being pro-active and asking questions. Just having trouble getting the online BSN programs to allow certain classes he took along time ago. I am also interested in this because i rarely have...

  9. A nurse has an RN but did not get a diploma or BSN

    enchantmentdis replied to enchantmentdis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks, again. He was never an LVN, and says he can't afford to go back to school right now to complete the BSN; but needs to move to another state to assist in the care of a family member, but will...

  11. A nurse has an RN but did not get a diploma or BSN

    enchantmentdis replied to enchantmentdis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thank you. That is exactly what happened. He was in a BSN program in California and that year all the students took the NCLEX approximately 10 months before finishing the BSN. He passed and has been...

  12. Kaiser clinics

    enchantmentdis replied to SqueakRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    No, i work for a different hospice. It's great work. I agree there are few ambulatory jobs open. I'd love to work per diem in endo or OP to get my foot in the door in case something happens in my...

  13. How much personal info do you share with pts?

    enchantmentdis replied to Bouncyball's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Haha. Funny you mention this one. I had a family member report to management that i spent more time with the dog than with the

  14. How much personal info do you share with pts?

    enchantmentdis replied to Bouncyball's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Problem with this is even if you've spent days building a rapport, the patient may tell their family without your knowing it and, whammo, family not happy about personal conversations and reports it...

  15. How much personal info do you share with pts?

    enchantmentdis replied to Bouncyball's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will tell you from personal experience that patients and/or their visitors may innocently be trying to engage you in conversation, but beware. Never trust a patient or family members. Once you get...

  16. Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    enchantmentdis replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    So sorry you were terminated. That's ridiculous. Blaming the nurse for everything. Glad i work in

  17. Not doing what I was hired for

    enchantmentdis replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Because i'll walk into a particularly dirty house and the daughter or son will apologize right off the bat that, "Mom's house has been this way for years, sorry, let me make some room for you to sit"....

  18. I feel like everybody hates being a nurse!!!

    enchantmentdis replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit, i never truly enjoyed being a nurse until i became a hospice pool/on call nurse; and that is mainly because i usually do not have to interact with co-workers and management because i am...

  19. No dnr

    enchantmentdis replied to aphillipi's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    As a rule our hospice puts actively dying patients on continuous care for symptoms management--excessive secretions, dyspnea, pain, terminal restlessness, caregiver breakdown, teaching of meds and...

  20. No dnr

    enchantmentdis replied to aphillipi's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I work for a large nation-wide hospice. Even if a patient is a full code, the hospice does not refuse to admit the pt because we can still help with symptoms, and of course, hospices do want to make...

  21. Not doing what I was hired for

    enchantmentdis replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Not even, these folks have lived in filth long before they got sick,

  22. Not doing what I was hired for

    enchantmentdis replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all. The one's with the filthy homes have been living that way long before they got

  23. Favoritism in nursing?

    enchantmentdis replied to kellycinalli's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Exactly, which is why it is so nice being a hospice nurse now, though I was actually relieved as a traveler that no one wanted to be close to or compete with me. Now, i am in my car, no manager is in...

  24. I'm tired of it!

    enchantmentdis replied to sunnyskies9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Right on. At least they'll be under anesthesia and you can get on with your work. No drama, except for maybe the

  25. Kaiser clinics

    enchantmentdis replied to SqueakRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I worked at Kaiser in med-surg/tele and hated it! I desperately tried to get in the clinic. Nearly impossible --everyone wants to get in the clinic, and they want you to have years of experience. I'd...
