  1. New Grad with Part time hospital job, When can I ask to be FT?

    Seas replied to kujomonster's topic in First Year After Licensure

    At my hospital, you wait for a FT position to open. You can still pick up hours if they need you to though. But plain out going to manager to be a full time employee is a little

  2. At my wit's end with this nursing assistant...

    Seas replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have you actually written her up or just talked to your supervisors? I guess I would go very firm and remind her her and my roles. I can't believe she can get away with this attitude. Reading these...

  3. Pregnancy and dismissal from nursing school

    Seas replied to Bronxtale's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Tough situation... Pregnancy is a choice, and one in nursing school should have thought of the possible consequences of pregnancy before deciding that. Anyway, I think you should just let go and focus...

  4. what degree do we recieve after finishing lvn/lpn program

    Seas replied to princess007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPN programs give you diploma; LPN is not a degree in nursing. Adding more classes and getting Associates in other major is possible. However, Associates degree is the lowest degree in nursing, and...

  5. No Programs - Getting Frustrated

    Seas replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    I haven't heard of LPN to BSN programs other than the advertisements online; the schools that I've never heard of. BSN transfer programs already require lots of pre-req classes that once LPN school...

  6. What are the chances of me being fired?

    Seas replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

  7. Ever lost a job offer because of your reference?

    Seas replied to lily1289's topic in General Nursing

    I was called as a reference for my friend. I haven' t lost a job for this. I got the first and only job I applied for. I don't even remember who's I listed as references. I don't know if anybody...

  8. Struggling on Medical Floor!

    Seas replied to NickiJules's topic in General Nursing

    Make a "to do" list, highlight your tasks with highlighters, cluster your tasks per patient and get them all done while in the room. Also, before med pass, make a round just to meet your patients and...

  9. Bedside Reporting starting Monday :(((

    Seas replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with this question. I can't connect b.s. reporting with having to get up 1 hour earlier. Unless reporting is something new to the floor, it doesn't make sense to me. I shouldn't take an extra...

  10. Bedside Reporting starting Monday :(((

    Seas replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We are supposed to do bedside report too. But nobody in my floor does it, unless management is there. Most of our rooms are semi-private. Most patients have some visitor(s) with them. Where is HIPPAA...

  13. Do they let family members work in the same floor?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for the replies! I will ask and find out about my hospital tomorrow. By the way, we have MD's in my place who are brothers, sons, father etc. But I haven't seen any relatives nurses, CNA's...

  14. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Seas replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In the area I live, none of the hospitals hire LPN's no matter how many decades of experience they may have. No way a hospital would hire them for any type of critical setting. RN with experience or...

  15. Do they let family members work in the same floor?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh okay. I didn't understand you were joking lol. Hiring manager, HR, hospital policies, I mean.

  16. Do they let family members work in the same floor?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my hospital, I see many relatives working at the same hospital, but just not the same department. I understand that. But personally, I don't believe in working at the same department with a family...

  17. Do they let family members work in the same floor?

    Seas replied to Seas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mom and daughter they are. I just know someone in my hospital who wants her mother to work there too, the same department. I was just wondering if that was possible. English as a second language has...

  18. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Seas replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Lets not go by exceptions. Yes, no matter what the title is, there are good and bad ones out there. If we look at it in your way, then LPN's shouldn't complain about MA's replacing them ( I saw many...

  19. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Seas replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPN's may not be totally phased out for long years, you never know. And there are always exceptions. But yes, LPN's are being phased out. Everybody should wake up and realize that BSN's MSN's and...

  20. Is LTC really a kiss of death for new grads?

    Seas replied to studentchar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why making a commitment now? wait until you graduate and look at all the hospitals around you first. LTC job is not hard to find in many areas. You can always get a full time job at a LTC. Don't make...

  21. Failed Pre-Employment Drug Screen

    Seas replied to canursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    If you are using it under a prescription or recommendation (never heard of that), you should be able to provide a proof to the employer. And you should go from there. Unless you have a proof, you are...

  22. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    Seas replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Just because they don't want to do floor nursing, it doesn't mean they don't have respect for it. These are different things. Not everybody has to like/do

  23. Who are all these people dying in your arms?

    Seas replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are saying and respect that. Nursing is a very serious thing, and should be taken seriously, anything can happen to anybody at the hospital, anybody can go unstable for numerous,...

  24. Who are all these people dying in your arms?

    Seas replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the OP, and I have always believed the same way. I am surprised somebody actually verbalized it. "Saving lives" occurs in life-death situations. If someone is already stable, getting...
