  1. I love Nurses.

    RxOnly replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Sounds like a great line for the next handwashing

  2. Home Care in Southeastern, MA. ?'s :)

    RxOnly replied to RxOnly's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thank you for all this

  3. Labor and Delivery Interview Questions

    RxOnly replied to nursepenelope's topic in General Nursing

    I bet you one of the first questions will be "Why do you want to work in L&D?" and they may ask other things like "What qualities do you have that will make you a great member of our team?" or...

  4. Brand new ward (unit), brand new team - how to build team spirit?

    RxOnly replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above post - a few get-to-know-you activities wouldn't hurt. Try and squeeze whatever "staff unity" activities you can think of into what little time you have until that ward gets...

  7. What makes a good team?

    RxOnly replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    The things you have done already sound great, and I like the idea of bringing up broken P&P at the next staff meeting to re-educate as long as you aren't pointing the finger at whoever made the...

    RxOnly replied to RxOnly's topic in Online Distance Learning

    RxOnly replied to dreamer827's topic in General Nursing

    There was a Respiratory Therapist at a hospital I used to work at who was absolutely beautiful and also had a full right arm of colorful tattoos. I never knew her personally, but I do know that she...

  10. Work at Rehab, Lose Chance in Med/Surg?

    RxOnly replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Your sanity is worth more than a better salary on a unit that is sucking the life out of you.

  11. What do you think of the nursing schools that churn out graduates in a instant...?

  12. Aspiring L&D nurse has a question!

    RxOnly replied to sunNY718's topic in Ob/Gyn

    and don't worry about what another poster said, LPNs are not being phased out- there are just more limitations on where they can work and what they can and can't do on the

  13. Can u be an rn without degree

    RxOnly replied to Darkpk55's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are some hospital-based diploma programs, there just aren't a ton. Your state BON should be able to name some local ones for you. Of the ones I've heard of, they take as long as getting your...

    RxOnly replied to sunNY718's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A co-worker and I were having almost the same conversation last night. We'd both love to get into L&D but every place wants exp. and how are you supposed to get it? My aunt graduated LPN school...

  16. Are there any legit paid nursing surveys?

    RxOnly replied to Lily84RN's topic in General Nursing

    How often do you get survey invites?? How much do they pay

    RxOnly replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry to hear this! Do you still have your employee handbook for this hospital? Something just doesn't seem right (especially calling you over the phone rather than speaking to you in person) ...I...

  18. LPN JOBS IN VA HOSPITALS OR MILITARY AS A civilian

    RxOnly replied to LEE1128's topic in Government, Military

    The VA hires LPNs all over the country, but sometimes it's tricky to figure out what the setting is (hospital, outpatient, etc) when you read their job postings. They don't have one pay rate set in...

  19. Things about your workplace that make it nice to be there

    RxOnly replied to cerendipity, rn's topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate a comfortable and clean nurses' station... with enough storage and enough space for more than one or two nurses to chart at the same time!! It looks more professional to...

    RxOnly replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

  25. Targeted by psychotic, manipulative patient

    RxOnly replied to HM7380's topic in General Nursing

    I live in MA, and I don't know if it's just MA or the whole country- but here it is absolutely ILLEGAL to spit on someone. I can't believe what your employer told you... that is just insane. Taking...
