Tanacious MSN, RN, APRN, NP

Yeah, that is a problem that should never happen. We have to find a way to protect our elderly. It is sad that we have people that find this acceptable to do to someone.

It is nice, very nice! We rarely have 4 and we have 2 aides at times 3 and we have 28 pts on the floor with 6 rooms for ICU pts.

Honestly, I don't see how one can take more than 4 pts at a time. I work Cardiac Stepdown and we have 4 at most but usually 3. I have read where some RNs have 7 pts, no way I would take that load, not even 6.

That's a hard road to go down. All the horror stories we see and read about I can understand why families would want this. I don't agree, but maybe cameras in the rooms that are monitored in a central location like telemetry does. Still a fine roa...

Your daughter has to fight her own battles if she is gonna make it. If the preceptor is too much for her she can request a different one. Her, not you! Honestly, the family members will be much hard on her then the preceptor at times, so she needs...

I wish we had better options on night shift. I know I can pack my own food but sometimes I just don't have the time at home. So many unhealthy options on nights.

We had a "high" profile patient on my floor, I stayed far away from his name.

I just submitted my application today for January. How long did it take to get your acceptance?

I absolutely LOVE working at CFVMC!!! I have nothing negative to say. My patient ratio is normally 4:1 occasionally 5:1 but that's hardly ever. I work on a Cardiac floor!

Actually their pass rate was quite good until that year. I figured out why but they haven't had an issue with any classes prior to or since.

When I went to Nursing school this is what quite a few of my instructors told the students as well. They said that many times their C students were better clinically than their A students. They said that the A students found it harder to think crit...

I guess my question would be how many hours did you work? Are you a new grad? Maybe per diem is a better option for you if f/t isn't giving you what you expect. Not that per diem will either because sometimes you may not get a pay check at all. A...

I meant OCS LOL

I am not sure what options you have right now if you are wanting to join as an Army nurse since you have to have 2 years experience to direct commission. That requirement is non waiver able so I'm not sure what recourse you have at the moment. And ...

0Hello everyone I am wondering if you all can provide me with some information. Particularly Progressive care/step down and Med sure/tele? What can I expect on either floor? I've never worked either so this is totally new territory for me. Also, wha...

Oh goodness, that's a question only you can answer Hun. I wouldn't stay anywhere I wasn't happy personnally but that's me. Do you see yourself liking working in a LTC? Go there for a day if possible and check it out. Money isn't everything but it'...

Thank you so much this is VERY helpful. I'm starting on MB and transitioning to L&D in 6 months. This is great!!!

That was awesome!!!! Thank you

I recently submitted my application , I am very nervous. I received an email on Dec 2, that they were reviewing my application so hopefully not too much longer. Not really feeling confident but who knows. Good luck all if you havent found out yet.

Good luck everyone, I recently graduated from Darton Fall 2012. I was in the first traditional class in Columbus, Georgia. I am getting ready to graduate again this Fall with my BSN.

Yay, I new you passed congrats!

That's good then if you scored high consistently and what not. Hey, go for it!

Ok, do that and keep us posted. You got this!

Are you sure you can't reschedule, sounds like you may be setting yourself up for failure. That's a long break to try and take the exam without at least some review time. You never no though you may pull it off. Best of luck to you ! :)

Yes, check in the state you are applying for licensure. Did you try the PVT?
