  1. How is a new nurse supposed to go about being firm without being offensive?

    samirish replied to Italia23's topic in General Nursing

    I dont know the answer to your predicament, but I believe the MA's are working under the MD's license? If so, the MA's probably think its okay to do what they want unless the MD directs them to do...

  2. Possible to pass CNA exams with this book and youtube videos?

    samirish replied to clubwestpua's topic in General Nursing

    You can definitely learn everything you need to know from a book and especially you tube videos. Most of the things on the cna test, you can figure out just by using common sense. However, where I...

  3. IF I Don't get into Nursing School Should I go for LPN first?

    samirish replied to mamaxmaria's topic in LPN to RN

    If money is a big issue at the moment then personally I would go for the lpn first. Work as a lpn part time while taking a rn bridge

  4. Bullying

    samirish replied to Nittybelle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is bullying as common between doctors or allied health workers as it is with nurses? If not, is it really because we are a female dominated profession (and that might be the reason) or are their...

  5. How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    samirish replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    I had a tummy tuck and it was the most horrible recovery pain imaginable. If I knew then what I know now, I dont think I would of went ahead with it. You WILL be laid up for weeks. I also ended up...

  9. Prospects after graduation?

    samirish replied to AppalachianRNstudent's topic in General Students

    I do not think there is any shortage at the moment. Quite the opposite in fact. But that's not to say it will stay that

  10. 40yrs OLD AND I WANT TO BECOME A NURSE!!!

    samirish replied to blissmamma's topic in General Students

    I too am 40 years old and just started taking my pre-req's. I thought about going to tech school to become a LPN because of my age and because I just wanted to hurry the process along as fast as...

  11. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    samirish replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would have to disagree that NP's don't have their own "identity". Where I live, the NP's (which can practice independently depending on the state), and PA's(which work under a MD) are becoming the...

  12. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    samirish replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I really love mid level practitioners inclucing NP's. I don't think they are "absurd" at all. Our family goes to a PA. We used to go to a MD but my husband decided he just didn't feel as...

  13. Night shift -- can you just take it easy, please?

    samirish replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    If it really bothers you so much and it is happening on a consistent basis then you may want to consider moving to nights yourself. Or advocate for better staffing ratios so there is enough time to...

  15. Your introduction to your patient

    samirish replied to SrnD's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would NOT be comfortable saying this..at all. I dont know, it sounds like a plea for attention or something. I think its great if you are comfortable saying thing but for me, it just wouldn't...

  16. Do you think this law is fair in regards to healthcare workers in Illinois?

    samirish replied to adoglover's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I am in support of this law. I don't want a sexual predator or someone that committed battery to treat me or my

    You also have to take their math placement test and if you don't place high enough they make you take math

  18. Student nurse gets the boot...veteran nurse fired

    samirish replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    Horrible, inappropriate and distasteful.

  19. IPN question (enter or not?)

    samirish replied to evandavid24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sadly, yours isn't the first case I've heard of where the BON reacts in such a manner. Far from it, in fact. It sounds like your life is going to get very complicated very quickly. I'm sorry you...

  20. Need HELP keeping my emotions in check

    samirish replied to jg24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If your CNA's are the ones pushing and pulling at the residents or barking at them, let them know its NOT okay for them to do that. If they refuse to change, then report it to the DON. If she...

  21. Does anyone know where a new grad can find work ?

    samirish replied to ewrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Illinois is looking absolutely dismal. The local hospitals here used to have PAGES of RN positions that needed to be filled. Now, they only have 3 listed. And all three require 3-5 years...

    samirish replied to TacticPatrick17's topic in General Nursing

    As*hole. I would have written him up,

  24. He// to the NO!

    samirish replied to FLmomof5's topic in General Nursing

    How utterly ridiculous! Not to mention just mean and manipulative. They pretty much just threw morale out the window with threatening the nurses with a charge of theft. I feel sorry for anyone who...

  25. dui :(

    samirish replied to suzyq240's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    One possibility is that they will issue you a probationary license. I looked up some of the past disciplinary reports and common theme for dui seems to be 3 year probationary license. (Of course,...
