  1. What is the worst thing you see on your floor?

    AngelicDarkness replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I believe so, but I'm only going by what "google" tells me LOL. Only a few provinces refer to LPNs are RPNs. Registered Practical

  2. Sorry, helping is just not an option.

    AngelicDarkness replied to sno963's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't find that unprofessional. I've called other companies before. Odd. Just ignore their responses, and hopefully you find someone soon!:) Best of luck wishes sending your

  3. What is the worst thing you see on your floor?

    AngelicDarkness replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Worst thing I see on any place I've worked (not all places have floors), was anyone asking me when I planned on taking real nursing. I'm sick of the public not understanding RPNs or their role. I'm a...

  4. Public Service Announcement

    AngelicDarkness replied to KarmaWiseRaven's topic in General Nursing

  6. Before the Morning (Failed CRNE three times. what now?)

    AngelicDarkness replied to yahy's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    This post is from 2010 but caught my eye. Even if you fail the 3rd CPNRE you go back to school for a year to upgrade and you can take the test again. Does the CRNE not do this?

  7. online nursing classes overseas

    AngelicDarkness replied to DaniJeffries1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    AngelicDarkness replied to raya's topic in General Nursing

  9. New grad nurses- what did you do to get hired?

    AngelicDarkness replied to bornthisway's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I emailed every facility in my area with a resume for LTC/ Retirement/Med/Surg. If they were not hiring, I left an updated resume and took a business card to keep in touch. I've been in a full time...

  11. Does your hospital have a prayer or some other inspirational message overhead?

    AngelicDarkness replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    lol! For some people, I would LOVE to see what could play for this! Also the first BM after surgery!:) I personally prefer not to have a prayer in the place I work. There is a Chapel and religious...

  13. Getting an RN degree...Worth it or not?

    AngelicDarkness replied to pat8585's topic in Nursing Career

    "the options for lpn's here are dwindling, they are mostly only being hired by ltc facilities." Not necessarily true. In my area, there are psych RPNs, OR RPNs, Diebetic educator RPNs and emerg RPNs....

    AngelicDarkness replied to reussir1's topic in General Nursing

  19. Isolation Nursing

    AngelicDarkness replied to AngelicDarkness's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for the resources:) Sorry for the term "isolation" and confusion with infection control lol. It was just a term I heard in school to refer to "isolated" nurses. I'm waiting on a bit...

    AngelicDarkness replied to TheKyleRC's topic in General Nursing

    The order specifically says ""Give blood pressure medication even if patient refuses vital signs, notify MD so the patient can be assessed.""? I'm not sure the legal standing on this for California,...

  25. As a Nursing student, would you prefer to have a room mate or to live by yourself?

    AngelicDarkness replied to RN_student23's topic in General Students

    IMO I prefer to live alone if I don't know the roommate in advance. I lived with 4 others in a house in college, and it got old fast. Hard to study when everyone else had different things going on....
