   I didn't know that AIDS was just transmitted sexually. Learn something new everyday... Although I think those that may have contracted AIDS via blood transfusion would tend to

2. Being labeled an MA but an LPN

   WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe going through HR isnt the best way. Do you have a hiring manager you can speak with? Or your supervisor? HR often arent clinical, so they may not understand your concerns. They are telling you...

3. Advice on precepting a new grad :O)

   WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to Joy06's topic in Nurse Management

   Sounds like you have a pretty good start already! The rest, however, is going to depend on the person that you are orienting. When I was orienting with an experienced nurse, I didn't need a whole lot...

4. Burnt out and struggling emotionally

   WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to MomRN0913's topic in Hospice, Palliative

   And somehow, this turned political...^^^^^^ OP, you have been given some great advice. Prayer, setting boundaries, seeking counsel, or (if all else fails) finding a new field. I hope you soon find...

5. A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

   WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   Maybe they have to run the blood as soon as they draw it & they cant do anything to treat you until an MD is there...so to avoid any delays in treatment or sending you out, they just wait for the...

   Your English is great! Now, excuse my English if it is difficult to understand as I am working a night shift right now ( : 1. What is it like to work nightshift? It depends on the night and patient...

8. Should I quit nursing?

   WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to Anna-s's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I am so sorry for your experience! 3 weeks of orientation for a new grad in acute care is not sufficient, in my opinion. I was an LPN for 7 years (with hospital experience) before I became an RN, and...

9. Facebook almost cost me my job

   WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Wow!!!! I think that is absolutely overboard that this situation even made its way to HR. If I were you, I'd really like to know who "leaked" that information. I do agree that this is a lesson...

10. New grad pay and jobs in Richmond

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to asmith1436's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My goodness! Nursing is so much different than it was when I first started as an LPN. This is DEPRESSING! Do you mind if I ask whether this is hospital? (if so what type of floor?) and this is here in...

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If the message states to contact your BON, then you passed. The pop up that you got indicates that your results are on hold and they may still be reviewing them. Do you feel as though you got your...

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt the same way about wanting to read the book, although I never got around to it! Honestly it wouldnt hurt to review topics that you might be unclear about in the book, but as far as reading the...

    WunMsJayLPNtoRN replied to WunMsJayLPNtoRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I dont know what you mean by right away, but the standard for everyone that graduated with me was about a month of studying minimum. Kaplan itself takes 2 weeks, and doing the Q bank questions will...
