  1. First case - infant with g-tube

    notyetnurse posted a topic in Private Duty

    So I have my first case lined up for next weekend. Brief background- I'm a recent grad LPN, been looking for work for about 9 months and so far this is the only place to give me a chance. Been reading...

  2. Nurse stealing narcs advice

    notyetnurse replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect is it your business? I understand standing up for patients and by all means reporting an impaired nurse who may well make a mistake and cause a person harm but truthfully, you've...

  3. Being blamed for fall after shift

    notyetnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, I have a question maybe you can offer some input. Even if you can't I need to vent a little to people who may understand. I'm a relatively new ICU nurse. I've been on the unit for about 2...

  4. Being blamed for fall after shift

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    To all thank you so much for the input. I really have been questioning it and feeling bad but you are correct and the input solidifies my position to take this up the ranks if need be. At this point...

    @boomer thank you very much for your thoughtful and kind

  6. Being blamed for fall after shift

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    And you are correct - there is no way a chair alarm would have gotten anyone to bedside quicker than a nurse that was already at

  7. Being blamed for fall after shift

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the oncoming nurse was in the room and says that the patient attempted to get up on her own and the nurse broke the fall. I have my doubts as to whether the pt attempted to get up vs the nurse...

  8. Being blamed for fall after shift

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    According to my facility "any unplanned descent to the ground" is considered a fall. So I guess if the patient plans to fall we are in the clear

  9. Being blamed for fall after shift

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed on both counts. I did make it very clear today that I will not be signing anything and that I will take this further up if

  10. best route for ADN to FNP (previous BA in unrelated field)

    notyetnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good morning all, Taking a very intense program to transition to the RN role in the next 6 weeks and a big part of this is EKG. We did cover some of this in school but not extensively and it may...

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you to all, love the heart block poem and the website suggestion plus general input. Much

  13. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    notyetnurse replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I don't see anything wrong or rude about the email either. My LPN and RN programs were both at a Catholic hospital and perhaps that is why, but we were always subject to being inspected by...

  14. Graduation can truly give ya the blues...

    notyetnurse posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, I have been doing my research on this topic so I know I'm not the only one but just wanted to share that I will be graduating in less than 4 weeks now. Yes, it is supposed to be one of the...

  15. Graduation can truly give ya the blues...

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in Health, Stress Management

    @ Vintagemother, exactly. It's the routine, the comfort of it all. I know it goes away eventually - LPN school took months to get over haha! but we were all very close. In this case, I will certainly...

  16. Speaking of imperforate anuses.. an HR story

    notyetnurse posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Just for the sake of argument, if you applied for a student position at the advice of your nursing dean and several teachers but was given the run around by one particular person in the HR department...

  17. Speaking of imperforate anuses.. an HR story

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in LPN to RN

    Wanted to take a second and thank the folks who took their time to reply. In the end I did go up the ladder to HR - risky, yes, but in my mind I figured there wasn't much to lose. I made sure it...

  18. So many sleepless nights

    notyetnurse replied to wannabecnl's topic in Health, Stress Management

    A little personal but I'll tell you this - I used to leave work at night (long before nursing was a thought in my head) and spend hours wondering if I did something wrong. Did u put the money bags...

  19. Depressed 1st semester student

    notyetnurse replied to Shagce1's topic in General Students

    Oh and OP if it makes a difference I don't know of anyone who didn't question their motives during the first (or first 10! !) Clinical. In my experience it takes quite some time before you feel like...

  20. Immunizations

    notyetnurse replied to jacquisosa's topic in General Students

    Check in with the school to be 100% but as a nursing school they should realize that not everyone had the series as kids (or maybe they did but don't have records) and will usually allow you to begin...

  21. certified LPN considering CNA/PCT/ or MA instead

    notyetnurse posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Good evening, I hope this thread isn't way off topic here. Long story short, took and passed my licensure for LPN back in August 2012 and have had ZERO luck finding employment. Getting desperate and...

    notyetnurse posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hello new nurses and seasoned professionals alike! I am a new nurse, been in my clinic about 5 weeks now, and just starting peds. Was wondering if I could pick your brain about where you, personally,...

  23. Left or right side for vaccines?

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in Pediatric

    Thank you so much! I tried posting reply earlier but it didn't work. This info is helpful as I wasn't aware that dtap and forms of this were painful as well. As the day progressed I ended up giving a...

  24. Clinical Judgement

    notyetnurse replied to janieg44's topic in General Students

    Good for you; arguing with an instructor is NOT an easy thing and it is only now that I am a working nurse that I am even starting to find my voice. The truth is, being new is equivalent to being...

  25. First job starts Wednesday, kinda freakin out!

    notyetnurse posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So a year after graduation, it looks like I'll be officially starting as a clinic nurse in a local branch of Community Health Clinics. My classmate and good friend started about 2 months ago and she...
