  1. Stocking up before nursing program starts

    LTV950rn replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I totally concur with Top Model! Totally my guilty pleasure! Find a good place to study- my school was located 30 miles from my home, but I often found my house too distracting. I live in a college...

  2. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Work and school.

    LTV950rn replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Students

    I respectfully disagree. I did this, and graduated top of my class ( very top). Can anyone do it- no, but its not impossible. Let's get real, bills need to get paid. As long as one keeps their...

  3. LPN to RN accredited online schools

    LTV950rn replied to Chrissy W. LPN's topic in LPN to RN

    Any program (online or not) you choose will demand much more of a time committment from you than just 3 hours of homework and 8 hours of class a week, so be prepared. Working full time and doing...

  4. Is it looked down on if you go for BSN full time after graduation instead of working?

    LTV950rn replied to WDM08002's topic in General Nursing

    I swear, I am so sick of hospital nursing as the end all be all. Do you have experience to back this statement up? Even hospitals have undesirable situations. And yes, your license can be on the...

  5. What is nursing coming to?

    LTV950rn replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like you're missing the point. I get what you are saying, but with 7 patients with HIGH needs? That's unreasonable. The staffing ratios need to come down to be able to do everything the OP...

  6. Tobi nebs

    LTV950rn replied to rrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to go the other way. We were told by a reputable pulmunologist that the blood levels of those on TOBI therapy end up quite low, meaning that those who are administering would theoretically...

  7. Can't ever really leave nursing, can I?

    LTV950rn replied to pedsrnjc's topic in General Nursing

    As a peds private duty nurse, I'm going to say shame on the company for just letting you go like that. I have worked with maybe 1 "normal" family ever. A good agency will take into account your...

  8. Got into LPN and RN What Should I Do?

    LTV950rn replied to Tfish1065's topic in General Nursing

    Do the RN. As a recent LPN-RN grad, I wish I would have done this initially. It is harder to go back to school after some time. I will also go a step further and recommend you get some sort of patient...

  9. descrimination in nursing

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    Moderator, seriously, do we need to be subjected to this again? This person has zero credibility, and that's not even taking poor spelling and grammar into

  10. Starting to feel a little bummed out about finding a summer job.

    LTV950rn replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    It's May. You should have planned ahead better because the hiring process takes time, much more than a week. I'd continue to follow-up with the hospital, but you should still apply every and...

  11. how did they pass theyre boards??

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    This is ridiculous. You should be concentrating on your English skills rather than this. Sad you have nothing better to do, while professionals, CNAs and nurses alike, come to this site with real...

  12. how did they pass theyre boards??

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like you are trying to provoke comments now. If not, good luck with your short-lived career. If you are really serious about your "good samaritan" comment, it will be that. (P.S. It is...

  13. how did they pass theyre boards??

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    You have some rockin' common sense here! Well

  14. how did they pass theyre boards??

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    You don't get it. Period. Your thinking is wrong and quite frankly, you won't get past your nursing clinicals with this attitude, much less become a nurse. You are already portraying yourself as an...

  15. Nursing(NA/LPN/RN) vs Medical Assistant***VENT

    LTV950rn replied to floridanurse1983's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd let it roll off you. You know what your training is. MA's are taught how to do things and generally not the "why." A good MA really helps a doctor/office run smoothly. They have their role and...

  16. why do teachers turn a blind eye to cheating??

    LTV950rn replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    DO NOT give up!! You have a strong sense of ethics! Don't quit! I would most definitely bring this to the school's attention. Go all the way to the top. Show them the

  17. how did they pass theyre boards??

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    "so if i had to decide between calling 911 or putting on the breathing treatment come on you no what is the right desicion. i have to keep them safe an he could have been harmed. " Um, no. Call 911...

  18. how did they pass theyre boards??

    LTV950rn replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    She had every right to be mad, because you are unlicensed and were performing outside your scope of practice by administering a treatment. If you honestly felt that this patient was having a hard...

  19. reporting abuse

    LTV950rn replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, you are a mandated reporter. Report this ASAP. I believe there usually a time frame in which to report, maybe 24 hours? They will conduct an investigation. A report made in good faith,...

  20. New RN's...do you have a job ?

    LTV950rn replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated December 2010 and passed my boards mid-January. I interviewed for a private duty position right after I took my boards and was offered the job. It's tough out there though- I really...

  21. New RN that has a first job as a HHC

    LTV950rn replied to arabstarRN's topic in Home Health

    Good luck to you! I love private duty/home health. I started as a new grad LPN doing this and learned so much. I enjoyed it and missed it so much that I am now doing it again as an RN. You'll...

  22. Did i do the right thing?

    LTV950rn replied to CNA Dinky's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be so hard on yourself. You learned a lesson, but honestly, I can totally see why you reported it to this supervisor. Not to mention, I would sure hope as the supervisor, this person was...

  23. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    LTV950rn replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd report to both places, quite honestly. I'd first have her ask to speak to the clinic nursing manager (every clinic is set up a bit differently, so I'd just tell her to call the main number and...

  24. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    LTV950rn replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a former women's health clinic nurse she ABSOLUTELY needs to report this. I once had a patient complain about how she heard the front desk reception staff talking about her, even though she was...

  25. A Matter of Respect and Dignity: Bullying in the Nursing Profession

    LTV950rn replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Blaming the victim? I hope you aren't one of those workplace bullies. While you do need to be assertive, some of the reason new nurses are targeted is for that reason-they are new. Perputuating the...
