    CNA impersonating RN

    ThePrincessBride replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    I highly doubt any decent reputable institution would hire someone to work as a nurse without an RN or LPN license. The brother may be confused. Before I got my RN license, I worked as an aide. If I...

    Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

    ThePrincessBride replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! It kills me every time I hear a nursing student state that they won't be doing any of the dirty work. These same people are also want to work in the ICU where having techs is considered a

    Do Nurses Work Several Per Diem Jobs?

    ThePrincessBride replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    I know a nurse who works three per diem jobs ON TOP of a full-time job (and has several kids!). It is a running joke that she doesn't sleep.I wouldn't mind working a FT job and a PRN job, or a PT and...

    Working the same unit you were once hospitalized (psych)

    ThePrincessBride replied to Ddestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it. Plus, there are certain places that won't allow people to work on the floor in which they were hospitalized. And how awkward would it be to work in a place where your coworkers know...

    To accept or not accept offer?

    ThePrincessBride replied to songbird_RN's topic in Psychiatric

    That sounds like a disaster in the making... New grads almost never start off in a PRN position. Usually, FT hours are needed in order to hone and master those RN skills, and they should never start...

    Pick my "poison"

    ThePrincessBride posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I will be interviewing for three adult, step-down units: Cardiac, Neuro and Medical. Granted, these are not my top choices and I doubt I will get offers for all three, but I am a new grad, so any...

    Pick my "poison"

    ThePrincessBride replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, thank you so much for your replies. I did not realize that a medical step down unit was considered a dumping ground for the hospital and my concern as a new graduate nurse is that it...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    ThePrincessBride replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I am all for teamwork and helping others...temporarily. If someone has a back injury, I would be more than happen to turn and lift their patient. If someone is heavily pregnant, I don't mind doing...

    I work for a hospital that has a union. While I have met a lot of hard-working senior (not necessarily older) nurses, I have seen quite a few of the senior (not necessarily older) nurses who...

    ThePrincessBride replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    Would you rather finish the program and come to find out that no board of nursing will allow you to take the NCLEX? That would be MUCH worse. Cut your losses and start over. Don't you want a...

    Fear of failing? reason to not enter nursing program?
