  1. what am I doing wrong?

    Seas replied to Suhrr's topic in General Nursing

    Go back to the hospital, show it and ask if you are concerned. What can we do here without knowing what is going on? Another issue. I don't know this for sure first of all. Since the nurse taught you...

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

    To answer the title question, because you are not a new grad, or and even though you graduated long time ago, you aren't experienced either. To me, that is the worst applicant situation. Waiting too...

  10. Is it worth it anymore to pursure LPN?

    Seas replied to gracelikerain's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the people around you. Lpn's work areas are very limited which is mostly LTC. If that' what you wanna do, go ahead. But if you want hospital job, that totally depends. Check your area to...

  13. Concern: Age Discrimination for a New 58 RN

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

    Age discrimination exists. Like one other poster said, once you are going for an interview at an age of 58, they will hope you have some experience. You will be competing with hundreds of new grads at...

  14. Pregnancy and job offers as a new grad

    Seas replied to d2k2ross's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is discrimination. Her pregnancy's consequences will affect the hospital in a bad way, financially. This is just like some religion nurse who will refuse to administer blood...

  15. Pregnancy and job offers as a new grad

    Seas replied to d2k2ross's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell them about this. This is an important issue. They won't be too happy to find this out in a few months. If I was the manager, I wouldn't hire a pregnant new grad. Because, especially in...

  18. Was written up ! I am so upset is there any hope to ever be a RN?

    Seas replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    Well, try to take a nursing pre-req science class and test yourself. If you have these problems, you can't even get through pre-reqs. Get the medical problems sorted out and rethink about your future...

  20. What would you do for five weeks

    Seas replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    I would say do nothing or take a vacation and relax. But with 4 kids and a busy husband... that's different. You may want to headstart or spend the last free times with the family. Once nursing school...

  21. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    Seas replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I understand when someone doesn't want to deal with acutely ill people like in med-surge and want to work in L-D, nursery, etc. But what do you mean when you go to clinicals in LTC, you will run the...

    Seas replied to randb83172's topic in General Nursing

    There seems to be more to this story than what OP tells. Employer must have a good reason for terminating. Why drug test? Were you impaired? did you take more than prescribed? was your prescription...

  23. Why is LTC so hated

    Seas replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I wouldn't like to work at LTC. Because, first, they don't give you enough orientation even if you are a new grad and just throw you out there to take care of 25-35 residents. At least the ones I know...
