    cayenne06 replied to AJayG3310's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Visitor Etiquette

    cayenne06 replied to MegEDRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, geez. I think putting it this way makes it so no nurse would ever want to be involved in a code! All of these (except the first) apply whether or not the nurse was clocked in. They don't address...

    Remember When? Where have all the Nursing Jobs gone?!?!

    cayenne06 replied to hkrntobe's topic in California Nursing

    I agree. I am a new grad, and I certainly don't feel like anyone owes me a job. However, I have a killer resume and a 3.97 GPA, and it is very disheartening that most hospitals don't even take a...

    Student Nurse Nightmare-Help!

    cayenne06 replied to RNFiona's topic in General Nursing

    Um, is this person an actual student or a graduate nurse? Are you responsible for teaching and assessing his skills? If so, then you need to give him a negative review and contact his school. If he is...

    Pregnancy and dismissal from nursing school

    cayenne06 replied to Bronxtale's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    God, that is ridiculous. I was pregnant with TWINS during nursing school. I never missed a clinical but I did miss a few major tests. Assuming you are a stellar student, they should help you figure...

    Advice for an unsure pre-nursing student

    cayenne06 replied to blueyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
