  2. Vita; signs and infections...

    somedaypeds replied to MomRN0913's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Vital signs are a good indicator of how your patient is doing. If his RR has always been 18 and now it is 12 - is there a reason? did he have an increase of opioids or is he declining? If his HR is...

  3. How many of you are forced to clock out to stay back and chart?

    somedaypeds replied to HelloM1M1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would not stand for that. I don't work for free. Charting is required, therefore, I will get paid for

  4. Can I work in Home Health Care as a new LPN?

    somedaypeds replied to MimiLPN's topic in Home Health

    Yes you can do it as a new grad - if you are confident about your skills. I did and so have some of my classmates. I love home

  5. Chem and Pharm

    somedaypeds replied to rachelhuff's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I wouldn't take Pharm with Chem, but science is not my strongest subject so these would both be difficult classes for me. I would take Pharm with Nutrition or Medical Terminology. Just my two...

  6. A nurse's favorite song?

    somedaypeds replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    For the students: Am I the Only one? Dierks Bentley. It was my motto through the last quarter - I couldn't wait for the day when I could stop studying and have some

  7. Public Humiliation In Healthcare

    somedaypeds replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am wondering if you were there the day this happened to me! I was a secretary at the time and a doctor I supported was acting in a similar manner. I chose the exit option and it did not go well for...

  8. New Grad LPN needs help landing my first job in NYC area.

    somedaypeds replied to Newgrad_LPN's topic in New York Nursing

    How about home health care? I work in home health and I love the work, but hate the pay. I started there right after I finished LPN school to gain experience. It is difficult for a new grad because...

  9. OU graduation rates

    somedaypeds replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I went to OU Chillicothe LPN to RN program. I recommend

  10. How to post a quote in the beginning of your cover letter?

    somedaypeds replied to lullaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I remember from English class that you don't start a paragraph with a quote. You have to introduce the quote first. I wouldn't do it all - I don't think it is the appropriate place for that...

  11. Working at a daycare good start for Nursing?

    somedaypeds replied to Loveismagical's topic in General Students

    If Peds is your focus, daycare is a great launching point. The CPR certification and first aid are valuable skills as well. Volunteering is also a great thing to put on your resume - make sure you...

  12. Am I capable in being an RN?

    somedaypeds replied to JazzyJasmine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Science and math are not my strongest subjects either. I joked with my classmates that I don't why I became a nurse - I am not good at science or math and I have no therapeutic communication skills!...

  13. What are helpful hesi exit materials?

    somedaypeds replied to chariot's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Hesistudy.com. I wish someone had told me about this before I started my last quarter of nursing school. I just finished the last quarter and have yet to pass the HESI. I have had 3 tries - I only...

  14. going to be fired from my CNA LTC job.....what's next?

    somedaypeds replied to CNA1991's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't love being a CNA either. Actually, I think it is one of the hardest jobs on the planet - it is physically and emotionally exhausting. Your are right about it not being anything like it was...

  15. Help with retaining CNA skills for state exam.....

    somedaypeds replied to DreamChaser81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You just need to keep doing them over and over again. Get more time in the skills lab or partner with a classmate and have them go through the steps with you. First do the skill with your notes, then...

  16. Is my RN career ruined?

    somedaypeds replied to Nuggiebear's topic in Retired Nurses

    This is a tough market. I think you need to keep trying. I don't think you are having any more trouble than the next nurse who is job hunting right now. My husband always says, if you are looking...

  17. Do you love being an LPN?

    somedaypeds replied to rdr75's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your friend is right about the economy being tough. LPNs in my state are finding it very difficult to find jobs. They are limited primarily to the nursing homes and home health. I am an LPN and work...

  18. Work and school?

    somedaypeds replied to saturn90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to work full time while in nursing school (this is my last quarter). Once you find the balance, it is ok, but getting there is tough. I basically had to tell my friends and family that I would...

  19. Is anyone else required to get STNA certification before beginning BSN?

    somedaypeds replied to lumosnox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think all programs should require it. It is the fundamentals of nursing. It also lets you know what is expected from a nursing assistant, because as an RN, you may be supervising one

  20. Is this fair? Honest opinions, please.

    somedaypeds replied to BC913's topic in General Students

    Maybe these 30 or 40 students were recognized for advocating for themselves? The staff recognized this as a nursing responsibility and awarded the students for applying real nursing

  21. Afraid I started a hostile situation

    somedaypeds replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    Altra - I disagree that ethnicity/race has no bearing. She feels like she is the minority. In feeling that way, it can be harder "grow a spine" and speak up. I think that is the important part of it....

  22. Anyone ever tell you, you would never be able to become a nurse? Proved them wrong?!

    somedaypeds replied to taraer1206's topic in General Nursing

    I am 43. I have wanted to be a nurse for about 15 years. I became a nursing assistant and actually didn't like it much. It was physically and emotionally exhausted. I quit after my third patient...

  23. Should I Take Biochemistry Hybrid (online) or In Person (lecture)?

    somedaypeds replied to JennyFields's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken many classes at CSCC, some hybrid, most in the classroom. I know that for me sciences are more difficult, so I take those in the classroom. Except, I ended up taking microbiology as a...

  24. ADN OR BSN? Confused:(

    somedaypeds replied to KJBradford's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A full A.S.S. degree? I though that was for doctors? (just

  25. Starting to become hopeless with this resume, please help?

    somedaypeds replied to panpan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think your "professional experience" is more interesting than your "healthcare experience", but I had to read through a lot of "boring" stuff to get to it. I liked the suggestion of sun0408 to...
