    Awww...thank you Jensmom! I know, but I can't help feeling inferior to all of those who have a BSN. I just don't have it in me to do it: physically, financially, mentally. I wish I'd have done it...

    OCNRN63 replied to Princess Bubblegum's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would have called HIM/HIS and he'd them shut down her access to the system until it could be determined just what information she was planning on accessing. Why didn't she have an ID badge if she...

    OCNRN63 replied to s.otero.lee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest asking the moderators to move this to the Students section and having it moved into a forum for prospective students or pre-nursing students. You'll get more suggestions from people...

    Worked in high school as a nurse's aide; no certification programs back then. 1985 from diploma program, and proud of it. Had been working on BSN and was technically a "Junior," but cancer derailed...

    OCNRN63 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Trust me, M/S isn't slow. Patients there crash too. I think the certs will help you in that when you start applying to transfer, you'll already have them in hand. The only consideration I see is...

    Good nurse novels to read?

    OCNRN63 replied to BIGT68's topic in General Nursing

    I loved this book. I've read it several times. This is an older book, but the book Nurse by Peggy Anderson is an excellent read. My Mom made me read this before I started applying to nursing

    Feedback desired orienting new nurse

    OCNRN63 replied to Rnwithwings68's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. I would just add writing out SBAR and have order sheet ready if she needs to call for an order. Make sure she's printed out pertinent labs if needed or have them up on the...
