    Who else here really loves precepting? I do!!

    HisHands replied to christvs's topic in General Nursing

    Most of our professors were not MSN in Nurse Education. Actually, most of ours were NPs that worked in clinics in the summer, and taught us during the school year. So, with a NP, you are definitely...

    Decision Made & Scared To Death!!

    HisHands replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    You made your decision. Work it. Own it. Bust your hump, and fulfill that dream. You have a great resource here, and we are all rooting for

    Good Advice for nubs.

    HisHands replied to first_lobster's topic in General Nursing

    Be yourself. I know that sounds trite, but think about it. If you are naturally happy and like to sing or hum while you work, go for it. Now, I'm not saying you should force everyone to hear your...

    Support Socks/Stocking

    HisHands replied to yuuki's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I get knee highs at the uniform store. I've got a whole array of colours. My legs feel amazing at the end of the day. I think mine cost like $8/pair but they never run or snag, and they wash just...

    Salary negotiating

    HisHands replied to big apple's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question in relation to this. I can start another thread if the powers that be would rather. At what point are you considered "experienced". I've had people say, oh you have 2 years...

    Do you know a nurse who worked at a Veterans Administration hospital?

    HisHands replied to mikethern's topic in Government, Military

    In our area, the VA is like the best of the best. My granny goes there for her check-ups and I am so exceptionally impressed. I believe it's the only facility in our area that isn't desperate for...

    New here and venting already

    HisHands replied to Butterfly Faery's topic in General Nursing

    I would have called, too. At my job, if someone wants to talk to the MD, it's a reasonable time of day, whether that pt is in distress or not, if he can't be convinced to talk to the MD the next day...

    Name hospital and salary--everywhere

    HisHands replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    I used to think I didn't make too much. Now I'm really feeling wealthy. I'm an LPN with 2 yrs exp. I work in skilled nursing in a rehab facility for a major hospital in my area. I make 24.50/hr...

    nurse terminated

    HisHands replied to grandee3's topic in General Nursing

    I would say to that DON, "Sure. I'd be happy to stay. But since I am no longer employed at this establishment, I will be hired as an independent contractor at the cost of oooooooh $250/hour with an...

    writing up another LPN for med error

    HisHands replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    FYI, we have been told repeatedly by our mgmt that whomever finds it reports it. My shift supervisor has much more important things to do than write up my errors like running for the glucagen when we...

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    writing up another LPN for med error

    HisHands replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    I don't find anything wrong with writing a med error on another nurse. That is NOT something reserved solely for mgmt in our

    writing up another LPN for med error

    HisHands replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a hard time understanding why this poor girl is being roasted. Whether she thought this other nurse was "too fast" and "obviously" a lousy nurse is neither here nor there. The point is that...

    Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    HisHands replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I actually believe that it is 100% discrimination for you to not be allowed to wear your cultural attire during clinicals and at work. I work at a facility with an EXTREMELY strict dress code. Our...

    writing up another LPN for med error

    HisHands replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    You know better than I do what happened. My only reservation about this situation is that perhaps this patient had another bottle of MVI that was getting finished off, and you happen to be there to...

    A little confusion re: some people's thoughts about LPNs

    HisHands replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    I think that there are quite a few RNs even who don't even know LPNs exist until they actually get deep into the working world. Let's say you went to a major university, got your BSN (or BS with a...

    Want your opinion on 2 possible jobs.

    HisHands replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. I'm going with door number 2 please. Here's my opinion. When I was brand new out of school, 1)I had a hard time supervsing myself, let alone a bunch of CNAs. 2) I didn't know a lot of the...

    Almost 3 years now....

    HisHands posted a topic in General Nursing

    You know, I was bored and started looking through my account at some old old old posts. I found posts from before I started nursing school. Oh the anticipation of what was going to happen, how I...

    Heartbroken

    HisHands posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if this is a rant, or a plea for help, or just my way of thinking this situation out. I've been married for 13 months. For the first 6 months, my dh and I worked at the same facility, on...

    Heartbroken

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    I know a lot of people have to work off shifts for daycare purposes. I feel so bad for those people. But, here's the thing... we don't have any kids. I got another job offer today. It's at a...

    Heartbroken

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe my expectations are off. In my opinion, I don't think it's fair to promise someone "it will be a couple weeks" and 6 months later, still not fulfill the promise. If I'm being unrealistic, tell...

    How did you go back?

    HisHands posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, here's my current dilemma, and considering summer session will soon be starting, I thought maybe this could help "inspire" some of us. I am an LPN. I have enrolled at our local CC to do my RN....
