  1. Are LPN's being phased out?

    JSlovex2 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know people have been saying for years that everyone would need a BSN and LPN's would be a thing of the past, etc. Well, so far, where I work (a large, magnet hospital) there are still many, many...

  2. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

    JSlovex2 replied to SunshineSmile's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All the new grads that can't find a job... 40,000 paid to someone who never worked. There's your job.

  3. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

    JSlovex2 replied to SunshineSmile's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If religious people can be exempt from working certain days, does this mean people who aren't religious can be exempt too? What defines a religion anyway? Maybe it's my religion not to miss my...

  4. No luck with a new grad job- should I go back to school? Any nurse managers around?

    JSlovex2 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I disagree with the poster who says RNs who get a BSN aren't new grads. According to many hospitals (stated on their websites) any RN with less than 6 months professional experience is eligible for...

  5. STILL NO JOB

    JSlovex2 replied to Bigmaine33's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    @Sky You have to be aggressive during your training. It's just like when you're a nursing student - if you'll follow along and watch - that is exactly what the nurse will let you do. When I was going...

  6. RN with BSN and feeling stupid

    JSlovex2 replied to trueblue2000's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It will come in handy at some point. Don't worry. As some have already mentioned, a lot of places prefer a BSN now, and a lot of people with less than a BSN are going back to school because they feel...

  7. initial license question

    JSlovex2 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi all, I have a question for anyone who knows the answer. I have a good friend who is about to apply for initial licensure in the state of Tennessee and take their test. I can't answer the question...

  8. initial license question

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Actually, people can and DO wake up one day and decide they don't want to do drugs anymore! That's usually when they seek treatment...which is why it should be irrelevant to what's happening today. I...

  9. initial license question

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My goodness....I feel bad for you. I guess I never even thought of this or payed attention to what kind of questions were asked since it didn't pertain to me, but if a questions asks, "Have you been...

  10. initial license question

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How long is it until you are eligible for employment? And how long until you're finished with the program? Why were you denied licensure as a pharmacy tech? Did they ask questions about mental health...

  11. initial license question

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Didn't you say in another post that you only disclosed your mental health dx because you interpreted the question wrong? And it actually only meant if your dx was an impairment to your current ability...

  12. Frustrated

    JSlovex2 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So, technically...if someone has a history of depression then they would have to report to the board when applying for licensure of a mental health history? That seems absurd! I saw another nurse post...

  13. initial license question

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, the DUI thing makes sense because most all employers want to know your criminal history and it's public information so it will show up on your background check. Asking if you've ever been...

  14. Fictional vital sign charting

    JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    i agree w you that CNAs should understad why it's important to be accurate, and YES, i do think some people are on autopilot. i felt like i flew right through my BSN program which was "accelerated"...

  15. Fictional vital sign charting

    JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    another issue. not only are CNAs not told this during training, but so many nurses would rather die than to let them know that their job actually IS

  16. Fictional vital sign charting

    JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    my comment was in response to someone who mentioned that CNAs should get more education. hence, the comment that "along with more education comes more pay." if i had said "if CNAs were paid more to do...

  17. Patient fell, Forgot to reset alarm

    JSlovex2 replied to PedsHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    i seriously doubt that you'll be reported. calm down. forgive yourself. it happens! it's easy to forget to reset the alarm especially on a patient like you described who is constantly getting out of...

  18. Incompetent nursing assistants

    JSlovex2 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in General Nursing

    this does happen, and as a nurse do you not have those doctors who listen to you, take your advice into consideration, and show you respect? and then those doctors that you'd rather swallow a piece of...

  19. Incompetent nursing assistants

    JSlovex2 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in General Nursing

    you made some good points. when i was a CNA, the patients who knew the difference between CNA and RN would often ask, "are you in school?" and when i would tell them "my story" of how i had a...

  20. language barrier- weird situation

    JSlovex2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sooo...I had a patient the other day who spoke NO English. At least she didn't let on if she did. You'll understand why I say this in a moment. I used the phone translator to communicate with the...

  21. Incompetent nursing assistants

    JSlovex2 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in General Nursing

    I SOO agree! I am a RN now and the best thing I ever did was start out as a CNA. It has given me so much insight. I found during my work as a CNA that even when I did report something of concern that...

  22. Should I stop to help?

    JSlovex2 replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    i don't know that i'd call the cops. i would hate if someone called the cops just bc my tire was flat and i happened to half a pound of weed in the car. LOL. not that i would...but seriously, i don't...

  23. Why aren't nurses mandatory reporters of ALL abuse?

    JSlovex2 replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with this. if a patient denies abuse and they are a competent adult then it truly is a waste of time and resources getting the authorities involved. that being said, i do think that if you...

  24. My Student is draining me.....

    JSlovex2 replied to AngelofLTC's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I would also educate him on tolerance to medication especially in LTC. Maybe this student hasn't had any experience in LTC and truly doesn't understand how people who have dealt with chronic pain...

  25. My Student is draining me.....

    JSlovex2 replied to AngelofLTC's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you're dealing with this. I'm confused about him asking, "why did you ask his pain?" Even if he thinks the pt is lying, you would still have to ask! Maybe you should turn it around on him,...
