    SweetheartRN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  3. LPN goin beyond scope of practice

    SweetheartRN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Glad you are familiar with the laws in your state. I'm sure you are an amazing nurse. IMHO The problem with not following rules however is people only begin interested in doing so when something goes...

    SweetheartRN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thankyou for your objectice post. She was not having RN staff cosign at all. I guess if it really weren't any harm Nusing Staff Development would have told her to continue doing what she was doing but...

    SweetheartRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a long story that unfolded over a couple of months before I graduated from my ADN program. I graduated in Dec. 2010 and passed boards the same month. I've been working as a secretary/registrar...

    SweetheartRN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Need advice-should I apply AGAIN or let it go?

    SweetheartRN replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    The worst thing she can do is not call you....then you will know and not wonder about whether or not she would have given you another shot. In this day in time in nursing like another person said, we...

  9. When are you going to get a "real" job?

    SweetheartRN replied to luvtwilight's topic in Private Duty

  10. New Grad, don't want to work in hospital

    SweetheartRN replied to ladybuglouRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why is there a thought process going on about if a nurse starts in a doctors office she/he will never be able to work in the hospital? Does it reflect that badly on a resume'? I thought any experience...

  11. What would you have done differently in school to help get hired?

    SweetheartRN replied to RunMT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was a nursing asst. where I worked and STILL couldn't get a job there so its definitely not always a shoe in to work as a nursing asst. and get an RN job after you graduate and pass boards. Its...

    SweetheartRN replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  15. How do you know if an interview went well?

    SweetheartRN replied to Dawn Vylet's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds to me that if she bothered to show you around and tell you that kind of information it looks like a good sign that you could have landed it. Anytime the manager starts walking me around showing...

  19. should an ADN new grad bother applying to new grad program if it says BSN preferred?

    SweetheartRN replied to janice_c67's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know this might sound bad but I think you shouldn't waste your time. Even BSN new grads are having a hard time landing that first job right now so you know they will be applying as well and they...

  20. Advice? Significant Other: "You make too much for what you do."

    SweetheartRN replied to Coffeebeanie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your boyfriend sounds like a real winner. I would tell him seeing how none of the medical profession cares what he thinks it is not up to him to decide what I deserve to make per hour. I don't get how...
