  3. Your experience as a lpn turned RN

    I didn't realize how much skills, knowledge, and confidence I gain by being an LPN first. I be-grudged working in a nursing home when I first became and lpn but looking back now as an RN it really...
  4. You're Hired!......Then......

  13. Nursing Imposters

  14. Stand out from the crowd ?

    Volunteer at a hospital on a unit you're interested in if possible if you can even here and there. Get to know managers and personnel. Certs look nice as well, but don't go crazy spending a ton of...
  15. Nursing Imposters

    It's not surprising, I work with one now, but she's very co-vert about it. So I currently work with an nurse assistant in small research university clinic who comes across as very professional, well...
  16. art line vs cuff pressure

    I'm not sure why either, especially seeing that you checked all your connections and such. I know from experience that NIBP monitors can give wacky readings. I remember once have a sepsis patient, she...
  17. Feeling Guilty After Calling in Sick...

    Guilty? Are you kidding me? Do you think your hospital feels guilty when they up your workload without upping your pay? Or do you think they feel guilty when you work short? Do you think...

  21. Don't know what to do... So a good friend of mine who went to nursing school with me recently told me this. She is frustrated at her current job because she doesn't feel like she is learning anything...
  22. Experienced nurse now inexperienced

    First off what do you want to do? If you're looking to get back to bedside, perhaps med-surg is a good start? Also I would be honest during interviews (not too honest of course) prospective employers...
  23. Dicouraged with the profession.

    Well you are a nurse that's been there done that, so ask yourself if you've been exposed to anything healthcare related that you possibly see yourself doing. Maybe it is time for something new or...
  24. I can't find work!!
