  2. Worth Doing LPN in Richmond, VA

    Chin up replied to Beth0215's topic in General Nursing

    I am an LPN, have been for 26 years, loved it. Having said that, go for your RN. Just do it. You won't be sorry and the wait will be worth it.

  3. Monitored nurse needs job choice advice, nursing home or drug research?

    Chin up replied to godiva's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, didn't even think of this...OP, here is your good news. You won't have to do patient care, thus pass meds in LTC. There is plenty of room for mangers who never take the cart. No one would have to...

  4. can they say I was terminated?

    Chin up replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, sorry. I really don't know what to say, but I feel you.

  5. straddling the fence

    Chin up replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Very good advice! People do love positive feedback, in fact I find they will start bending over backwards for you, when you let them know they are doing well. As long as it is true, please do. We all...

  6. New RN, already making mistakes

    Chin up replied to lillystarrn's topic in General Nursing

    Just slow down. Reading your post got me out of breath, I can only imagine your "real energy". ( yes, very jealous, as I could use some of it). But as a brand new nurse, try to slow down. There is a...

  7. Nurse chatting/dating patient

    Chin up replied to springgarden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where is the name calling?...unless the shoe fits...this is a 25 year old man. School should not have to teach respect. If his question was so innocent, he would not have mentioned drugs. There was...

  8. I am so confused and need some advice!

    Chin up replied to Single_Mom's topic in General Nursing

    I am so proud of you!

  9. Nurse chatting/dating patient

    Chin up replied to springgarden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All the above...and once her meds wear off, she may not want to talk to you anyway! Leave her alone, you are no man. A man would not try to take advantage of an impaired person. A chump would...

  10. straddling the fence

    Chin up replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    You will get over it and so will they. Eventually they begin to follow your leadership, once you start to lead. You stepped up into this role and owe your employer a leader. Become one, set...

  11. Feel Fortunate

    Chin up replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I feel fortunate that as a single mom, I can afford my house and car. And all the things a 13 year old girl needs. I also feel fortunate I had a skill when my 33 year marriage failed. I feel even more...

  12. question

    Chin up replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Nursing

    As the above two posters stated, don't renew. You can not be an LPN once an RN. They sent that in error. Throw it away and tell moms, to keep her RN license current.

  13. Need advice about working in LTC-subacute floor

    Chin up replied to Shayrey's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think 15 residents is beyond reasonable. I wish more were staffed, as well as yours seems to be. Is it two med nurses and a charge? Or are the 52 divided in three and you do the cart and desk? is...

  14. Have you heard of this? Letter of Introduction?

    Chin up replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Duplicate

  15. Have you heard of this? Letter of Introduction?

    Chin up replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I have written a few letters of introduction, For teachers applying for a new position in another state or district. The letter was a type of recommendation based more on personality, trust and...

  16. Monitored nurse needs job choice advice, nursing home or drug research?

    Chin up replied to godiva's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I say this with your best interest at heart. Do not work LTC. Wait, until your restriction is removed. Long term care can be brutal. Meaning staff and med pass. If you were to lose, drop, miscount one...

  20. Any ideas for effective ADL training?

    Chin up replied to chlori's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    We did a very successful question of the month contest for six months. Every month we used a different scenario to test coding knowledge. Say, we wanted wc with ext assist. We wrote a brief scenario...

  21. Interview attire

    Chin up replied to heyheyhey's topic in General Nursing

    All the successful business men I know, wear blue shirts, some, blue shirts with white collar and cuffs. So if it is good enough for them, it is good enough for you.

  22. Worst Interview Ever!!

    Chin up replied to 312time's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She may have committed age discrimination. I don't care how honest she thought she was being, she should be reported to the EEOC immediately. She called you in after reading your resume. All was...

  23. Please help me understand

    Chin up replied to missingmydad's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Some things are a mystery...I do have a belief system, that is solid as a rock. However, when it comes to my patients, I don't see them as saved, not saved, the devil tricking me, etc. My job is...

  24. What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    Chin up replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    I just noticed your age and hesitantly say, take it. Please disregard my previous advice. I now understand much more, your desperation. Maybe, just maybe, you can make it work. You have a wealth of...
