    Expecting better results with less staff and high ratios

    THELIVINGWORST replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the problem lies in administrators and higher ups refusing to lower their salaries and cut their own budgets. Nurses are what make a hospital work and run smoothly. Period. Ugh. Also, OP,...

    Question about BLS cert. and CPR

    THELIVINGWORST replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In real life. No. Hell to the no. Compressions all the way if there is no face mask available. That is why I carry a barrier mask with me just in

    is nursing really worth the debt

    THELIVINGWORST replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you been to floridas nurses page here on AN? What do the nurses there say? Regardless of why you need to retake them, you still need to retake them. Don't be tempted to take the quickest easiest...

    Should I wait to transfer or become non degree seeking student

    THELIVINGWORST replied to AlexaJas's topic in General Students

    I am kind of in this situation although the school I graduated with my ADN from did not require former transcripts. I simply had to start from scratch. Now. I WILL not be able to further my education...

    Use of chux cloths to replace facewashers

    THELIVINGWORST replied to seriouslylost's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have had several patients that have allergies to the chux. There are also going to be an increase in staff and patient injury if there is no safe way to lift patient and slide them

    New Grad BSN RN, Any jobs out there??

    THELIVINGWORST replied to 808_hi's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I suggest contacting your preceptors, employed classmates and former instructors that you think may be able to help you at least get a brief introduction to hiring

    LPN or RN can't decide were to go!

    THELIVINGWORST replied to DMAC1103's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm an RN, in Vegas working at a hospital. I went to CSN and I have my ADN. Honestly, it's a bit of a waste of time to become an LPN in this town if your goal is to be an RN. CNAs in hospitals and...

    Why NOT private??

    THELIVINGWORST replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to say that it seems like you have rose colored glasses on. 1. It is sometimes very very hard to find a job, no matter how hard you try. 2. Hospital nursing is NOT the end all-be all....

    How long does it take to be a nurse from start to finish?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to mzsuccess's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    1. It depends on what school you go to. 2. You don't work as a student nurse unless you get a job as a nurse intern which is basically a CNA plus some nursing skills as you progress in your program....

    Pre-Reqs For Nursing

    THELIVINGWORST replied to mrsdlewis06's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You should go see an advisor and take your placement tests. Usually eng 101, com 101, bio and math are good first semester

    I'm not answering call lights

    THELIVINGWORST replied to imintrouble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a new nurse and former CNA for five years, this is a touchy subject. Mind you, I work on a busy neuro med/surg floor, constantly I go to these rooms and they want pain meds or breathing tx, etc....

    Having a hard time with delegation

    THELIVINGWORST replied to Nolli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NCLEX is based on national scopes of practice. You can't delegate what you can EAT, evaluate assess and teach. I think there is another acronym out there. But unchanging skills only for CNAs. Think...

    Alternatives for students that fail out of traditional nursing schools

    THELIVINGWORST replied to sampson44's topic in General Students

    Uhhh. No one said it was for NS rejects. All they said is that you MAY or may not be eligible for licensure in some states. And there are VERY few school that can honestly say they have a 99% NCLEX...
