  1. Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Am I misunderstanding you? Are you saying that ADN's at your school did not take patho or pharm? I really doubt that there is a nursing program out there that does not have patho or pharm, at least...

  2. Med Aides and First RN Position

    kaydensmom01 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am looking for my first RN position. I am going for an interview tomorrow for a LTC/SNF/sub-acute facility. I have found out that this facility uses medication aides. I don't know if they would be...

  3. Trying to find a career with chronically ill kids.

    kaydensmom01 replied to desereelynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may like nursing, but as others said you have to be willing to work in areas that you do not like until you get into peds, and that can take

  4. CEUs on resume?

    kaydensmom01 replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know why you

  5. Denied licensure please help

    kaydensmom01 replied to JoseCarlos's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Your dean has no idea about any of this. I asked my director of nursing what to do and she advised me not to get a lawyer! I'm glad that I did my research and went with my gut instinct or I would not...

  6. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think very many places pay anymore per hr because BSN is expected to be the degree for entry level nursing positions in most

  7. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree with this. You can't automatically assume that your education is all that is needed, and that a nurse with a BSN can't offer anything more than a diploma nurse, especially if you do not have a...

  8. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    kaydensmom01 replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    Its not really a choice where I live, all of the hospitals are at least in hour away in each direction. I'm also on a tri-state line so my options for job hunting were very limited until I endorsed to...

  9. Denied licensure please help

    kaydensmom01 replied to JoseCarlos's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You really need a lawyer. You can look at my story on my profile, a few pages back. I had a drug history and psych problems 5 years ago, and fought with a lawyer for 9 months to get my license and got...

  10. Can hospitals average two weeks together to avoid paying overtime?

    kaydensmom01 replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    So you scheduled yourself to work six 12's in a row so that you could have a week off every other week and now you want to go back and sue them for back pay???? WOW!!!! (I read the

  11. FL RN student with misdemeanors seeks answers please

    kaydensmom01 replied to Robb1821i's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    From my experience, you will have to report at least the marijuana offenses and it will affect you getting licensure. Not saying that they are going to deny you, but there is a possibility that they...

  12. Where Can A 17 Year Old Work?!

    kaydensmom01 replied to agarc628's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was 17, and had no health care experience when I got a job as an aide in a facility for the severely physically and developmentally disabled. I was in high school, and they worked around my...

  13. Tommorow is the first real day of clinical! Confused!

    kaydensmom01 replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    My first clinical was in a nursing home and we did vitals, a head-to-toe assessment, treatments, and patient care (shower, personal hygiene, bathroom, ROM, walking, turning). We took turns with med...

  14. Non-traditional Nursing Hopefuls

    kaydensmom01 replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    23 y.o, married for five years, mother of a three year old, and graduated in May with my ADN. I bet only two out of my class of 60 were "traditional"

  15. Dilemma in finishing nursing

    kaydensmom01 replied to ARIA LOVE's topic in General Students

    Quite honestly I would stay here and finish. Yes you may have to start from square 1, but I have heard many stories about non-US nurses not being able to transfer their schoolwork here. If you are...

  16. CCMA vs. LPN...?

    kaydensmom01 replied to allabtu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    An LPN and MA may have similar roles in a physicians office, but they will never have the same role outside of the office- an LPN's scope of practice is more advanced because they are licensed. LPN's...

  17. Nodding off...

    kaydensmom01 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have documented proof that others nodded off and were not fired for it? If not it will just look like a game of tattle tale. I hope you do not plan to go in there saying "why was I fired and no...

  18. Grades vs Teaching?

    kaydensmom01 replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P a few years ago and was one of the only ones with an A, there was no extra credit offered (which is the way that I think it should be). It would really bother me if students came out...

  19. Gifts for Preceptor

    kaydensmom01 replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    I gave mine a gift card for a restaurant that she kept talking about, she really appreciated it. Any idea that is unique to their taste is a good idea- and I would say always include a hand written...

  20. Old, New Grad

    kaydensmom01 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated from nursing school in May, and was just now granted a license due to eligibility issues. I have an unrestricted license and have no criminal background. Now I am expecting to be asked why...

  21. Old, New Grad

    kaydensmom01 replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I see now that I shouldn't bring up "family issues" in a interview. Thank You for the advice, it is much

  22. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    kaydensmom01 replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know, right!!!!

  23. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    kaydensmom01 replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh yeah, they are really going to do away with RN's when having just a small increase of LPN's is proven to increase mortality rates significantly.... Did you read the articles that we all left for...

  24. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    kaydensmom01 replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are right, her mind is made up and she see's what she wants to see. Typing anything that makes even a little bit of sense is better spent throwing it against a wall..... She can't provide any...

  25. Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    kaydensmom01 replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You can't generalize all new grads based on one, I'm a new grad and I certainly know about BUN. I'm sorry but that is merely one situation, it is not evidenced based research that all of us keep...
