  1. Should I tell my NM or not???

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to NYnurseatheart's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed in your original post you said youre not blaming her, so Im trying to figure out why you are going to the NM. If other nurses on the unit are doing this then you can suggest an inservice...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Check out the state law, like someone said previously. I know in this state it is illegal to work 24hrs straight as well. Also, if you got that job, you can get another one - dont let you being...

  4. Being a team and not a clique

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to twinduff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  10. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

  11. Pregnant and Job Interview

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to srn0408's topic in General Nursing

  15. Active military transitioning to Nursing?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to navytech09's topic in Nursing Career

    I got my LPN from MCI in 2003 they actually do have a RN program now. I think thats a good option for you because of your GI BILL (its like $38k to go). Also, keep in mind once you leave MCI if you...

  16. Are LPN's being phased out?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes this has been a rumor for many many years. It use to annoy me when I was a LPN when I heard this, now that I am a RN the rumor is "hospitals are phasing out ADN nurses and wanting BSN only." I...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to icedtea's topic in General Nursing
