    BSN abroad to CNA licensed to RN

    tyvin replied to quebby224's topic in International Nursing

    Their posts were interjected with sentences in Filipino language. You didn't think someone could spell that badly did you? I know that once an inch is given a mile is not long

    Am I freak for charting meds as I pull them?

    tyvin replied to Izzy11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was lead to believe that when a resident spits it out or refused you need to sign anyway and then circle it to indicate waste of some sort and document on the back of the MAR. So you have holes or...

    tyvin replied to quebby224's topic in International Nursing

    Need advice for middle age.

    tyvin replied to Sherriblu's topic in Nursing Career

    Ditto with her friend; I worked in a clinic all of two weeks and I quit. You will not sit in a clinic. We stayed late every night not matter what, it was crazy. Why don't you get into being an RNAC...

    Am I freak for charting meds as I pull them?

    tyvin replied to Izzy11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If it's refused for whatever reason it still needs to be signed and then circled in the manual MARs. Circling will indicate the med wasn't given. Then on the back of the MAR there is a place to...

    tyvin replied to Izzy11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    AAS RN vs. bachelors RN

    tyvin replied to Enza's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would've done option 2. It won't be long until the much of the country will require RNs to have a BSN. NY and NJ are at this time putting forth efforts to maintain that only BSN RNs to be able to...

    tyvin replied to kimmersRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm just a little confused here ... you don't know how much you will be making? You didn't discuss salary? If you didn't; why didn't you ask what the pay

    Fired...now what?! Looking for Texas agency work

    tyvin replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Texas Nursing

    Who cares if the hospital denied your claim! The unemployment people have the last say. They do an investigation and decide if you were terminated unfairly or not. Call and see what you need to do to...

    Random ?

    tyvin replied to LPNPayne's topic in General Nursing
