    Doctor oriented hospital

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am closely watching a local hospital that is rumored to be preparing for Magnet status. I've never worked there, but when I graduate, the job opps will be a lot better for me and they may be an...

    Nurses who smoke?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Pete Venkman's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is going smoke free on the 14th and I have concerns about it myself. I am a smoker, but I never go outside more than 3 times in a 12 hr shift, no more than 10 minutes at a time. This...

    ADN or BSN please read before you flame

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to tankandroxy's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, welcome to the boards!! Each area is different. Here in upstate SC, RN is all that matters. I have seen very few floor nurse jobs that actually specify BSN only. Your best bet is to look...

    SouthernLPN2RN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Ok, she got ticked cause since we had a test in our other class that we wouldn't study for hers and she gave us a pop quiz, which I think most everybody failed. She's also told a couple of my...

    SouthernLPN2RN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I had my first test in Gerontology yesterday. I thought it went very well, even if I didn't study. What tripped everybody up was the math at the end of it. She had critical care titrations on it...

    Had my first test of the semester

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in LPN to RN

    Kelly, I haven't heard a thing and it's killing me! I think there was some contention with the math problems being on the test so maybe we'll be reviewing the test on

    clinicals + full-time job = ?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to cobra1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am currently working full time nights and I am feeling it! I have school on MTW and work around that. If you have a good support system and can stay organized, it goes

    Instructor already being less than supportive

    SouthernLPN2RN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Class starts back Monday, and according to our schedule, it's a 7-10 class. A bunch of us have called and emailed and not heard a single thing from this instructor. I finally called and talked to the...

    Instructor already being less than supportive

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in LPN to RN

    It wasn't. I sorely wish it had been. We don't yet know what days will be clinical days either. I can kinda guess based on the hours noted on the schedule, but they even have rm numbers noted next to...

    Instructor already being less than supportive

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in LPN to RN

    I know it! Our bookstore does offer online ordering, but it takes a week. I am more concerned with the students who live over an hour away (we have 6 of them) who don't usually get their books until...

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    You did fabulous! You made sure the pt got taken care of, and were an advocate for her. It wasn't your decision to admit her, and you took all the appropriate steps to take care of her! Kudos to

    How tiring are the night shifts on Ortho floor?

    Anyone Else Catching Flack for Going Back to School?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    Marie, I've had the same thing happen to me. My own mother in law, who's told people since I've gotten my LPN that I'm a nurse, is now telling people I'm going to school to be a nurse. People ask me...

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to lovingmyabcs's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    16 hr shifts should be illegal nationwide. I've done them, and I won't ever do it again unless there's an emergency. I hope it comes out
