  1. Hey!!!!

    lisamc1RN replied to RNandRRT's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :yeah:Yay!

  2. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    lisamc1RN replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't thought of that, but it certainly could be the

  3. Prayers for HD2...

    Yay!

  4. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    lisamc1RN replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a nurse who refuses to auscultate lung sounds. She says she never learned it 30 years ago because LPNs didn't do it back then, and so she just doesn't understand and won't do them. I have...

  5. Would You Take This Job?

    lisamc1RN replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    Take the job. Ask for more orientation, though. 3 days is not enough. You are always going to be the direct supervisor of the CNAs when you work LTC. During the week, you can keep looking for...

  6. My Father Died Today

    lisamc1RN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss, Sue. Sending you and your family my deepest condolences. My thoughts are with

  7. Nursing concepts3/chronicity?

    lisamc1RN replied to WEST1014, RN,BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It took mine exactly 3 weeks. My review was done this August. It was really hard to wait during that time. I hope your review process goes faster!

  8. reproductive health

    lisamc1RN replied to crazywoman's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking it on 9-11, too. No pointers from me. I've read through the info, studied the definitions, focussed a lot of my time on postpartum care and on the congenital abnormalities. I'm a whiz at...

  9. Nasty LPNS AND RNS TO STUDENTS

    lisamc1RN replied to Lpnmandy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying that the nurse was right for what she did, but maybe you should cut her some slack. Sounds like she had a crazy day and was at her limit or beyond it. When that happens, sometimes...

  10. Staff Ratios at Nursing Homes

    lisamc1RN replied to pat8585's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My unit has the best staffing of all the units on days. We have 1 nurse to 32 residents, and 4 CNA's. The reason we get that many aides is because it's a locked down behavioral unit. Otherwise, we'd...

  11. I got a clincal RN job!

    lisamc1RN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yay! Congrats,

  12. I hate being a LPN in LTC. The horror!

    lisamc1RN replied to Plagueis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm sorry your orientation is not going as it should. Don't give up, though. Even if, after giving this job a bit more time (be very upfront about what you need. Ask for help as much as you need to)...

  13. Med pass in LTC

    lisamc1RN replied to Cat Truitt RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We have a pharmacist come in once a month who analyzes the meds that our residents are on. When I became the day shift nurse, I began asking her questions about some of the meds and what I've found...

  14. Is It Me?? Some people are too much...

    lisamc1RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You mentioned that you have a new boss. Do you think that it may have to do with that? As in, there hasn't been a trust built between him and his staff yet? Maybe they are being cautious because if...

  15. Getting restless. Feel like rushing.

    lisamc1RN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm studying for Reproductive Health, have the exam scheduled for Sept. 11, but I feel like maybe adding another class in for September. I just want this whole part to be over with. I want my RN!...

  16. RN in Long-Term Care

    lisamc1RN replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    My former unit manager was an LPN. She was obviously in charge of every nurse who came on the floor, RN or LPN. I have, personally, oriented several RN's and only ever had one who appeared offended...

  17. Passed CPNE in Mansfield!

    lisamc1RN replied to pielęgniarka's topic in Excelsior College

    :clphnds: Congratulations, Sara! I'm so happy for

  18. New grad with no clinical skills

    lisamc1RN replied to malone2192's topic in General Nursing

    Well she knows how to d/c an IV and empty a foley now, and it didn't take that much time to teach her, right? :) Maybe it was her fault, maybe she didn't get the opportunity, or whatever, but these...

  19. Getting restless. Feel like rushing.

    lisamc1RN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, thanks everyone. I think I'll add another test at the end of September and see how it goes. Thank goodness we can make changes if we need

  21. Does Excelsior require A&P 1 and 2?

    lisamc1RN replied to Jess84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, you need both classes. I took A&P I and a lab through our local college, then had to take A&P again through

  23. how to help a struggling student?

    lisamc1RN replied to MaraG.'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow! You are a very patient and kind nurse. Thank you for your teaching heart! I'm sorry that your student doesn't seem as motivated to learn as you are for her to do so. How disappointing and...

  24. CNAs always at risk for getting terminated

    lisamc1RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's frustrating to see the revolving door of aides go round. It ends up leaving us short staffed and stressed out. The other aides aren't happy because they are getting mandated or being asked...
