  2. was i unprofessional? (quick story)

    kalevra replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Since they have no other responsibilities other than the one you just mentioned then NO, I do not think you were unprofessional. It does not sound like the CN at your facility has any management level...

  4. RN teacher failing students to "weed" them out?

    kalevra replied to xmissxscarlet09's topic in General Nursing

    How are students selected for the RN program? Is it based on a merit system where students have to compete with one another grades for a slot? Or is it an open application type where you meet minimum...

  5. Cna's view of nursing

    kalevra replied to evolvingrn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  8. treatment of student nurses on the floor

    kalevra replied to teterichko123's topic in General Students

    Don't take it personally, out in clinicals I barely see my clinical instructor unless I have a question. I was allowed to do a Foley catheter because the RN I was working with had a patient that...

  12. BSN only hospitals

    kalevra replied to luckystarRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. BSN only hospitals

    kalevra replied to luckystarRN's topic in General Nursing

    Check out the Veteran Affair Hospitals, they only hire BSN from what I was told. There may be some ADN still working in the system probably cause they were there before policy change. But as of now...

    kalevra replied to crystalball's topic in California Nursing

    You made the first round of cuts. Now you have to submit your documents in to make sure what you put on the application was not a lie. Then if all your stuff is proven true, you now get a ranking....

  17. Fake Nurses

    kalevra replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital has LVN Students and RN students so we have to differentiate ourselves from them as well. We also wear all white bright blinding uniforms which is another dead give away we are not...

  18. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    kalevra replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    Is this legal? I mean basing your final selection on staff based on are they fat (over 25 BMI). If it is legal then why not ask " Are you or have you ever had back injuries before". I am sure that...

    kalevra replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

  21. Fake Nurses

    kalevra replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    The original poster also said that the husband was also convinced that his wife was also a nurse. This implies that she was lying to her husband as well and not just her son. I am pretty sure that...

  23. Fake Nurses

    kalevra replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing
