  4. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    HisTreasure replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    I am a LPN student and I thought I would chime in. Only once or twice can I recall encountering a rude nurse. My issues, as one of the earlier members mentioned, revolve around the CNAs and PCTs. I am...

    HisTreasure replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! That sounds straight out of a movie. I keep thinking "Dennis the Menace" or "Leave it To Beaver". Things sure have changed...but I for one am happy about the switch from the plain white dress...

  10. Jobs at hospitals and credit checks...

    HisTreasure replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Students

    I hadn't refreshed my browser and so I missed MLOS post. If indeed the credit check is just to verify statements on the application are true...well I stand corrected on my perceptions on why credit...

  11. Jobs at hospitals and credit checks...

    HisTreasure replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Students

    I heard of it and I find it a terrible practice. While some may argue that a person's credit history tells a lot about a how responsible a person is, I am inclined to disagree. Oftentimes people get...

  14. Shaving cream bed baths?

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Students

    Well, see there? Ask a question, learn something new! :) Indeed, the major issue was the patient's safety (or lack thereof) however the shaving cream had thrown me for a loop! Thanks for all of your...

  15. My last semester. VERY much burned out.

    HisTreasure replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I am so burned out, and I am only in the first leg of the journey! I wrote recently that I failed my first test ever. I had a medical problem that seriously distracted me in the past few weeks, but...

  16. Shaving cream bed baths?

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Students

    Yes, I have seen both of these type products. This in fact WAS shaving cream, the orange COLGATE shaving cream container was still on the bedside table with the dampened cloth strewn next to it. Had...

  18. What do/did you say when...

    HisTreasure replied to Nalini's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As currently an LPN student I have heard that a lot. "Why are you wasting a whole year to become an LPN when in one more year you could be a real nurse?" REAL NURSE? So, uh, the state of NY puts...

  19. Special Weekend Shifts?

    HisTreasure posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Out of curiousity: Any LPNs currently doing those special weekend shifts where you only work Sat. and Sun. and get paid for 40 hours? What are your feelings on this type of

  20. "How old are you?"

    HisTreasure replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know I am extremely young looking, and having 3 children and an older husband doesn't help much either. However, I almost choked a couple of weeks ago when I was in the mall food court with my 2...

    HisTreasure replied to therealnurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One of the nurses at my children's daycare is an LPN. The other, of course, is a RN. The LPN got her job just by filling out the application. She has no specialized training, but she is an...

    HisTreasure posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I submitted an inquiry to Deaconess for more info on their LPN-RN bridge program, but got the response that they do not accept NY students. Does anyone know anything about this? I want them because...

  23. Mommies of pre-schoolers, need your advice

    HisTreasure replied to WickedRedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HisTreasure replied to rosieposie's topic in General Nursing
