    Got a job...then quit the job.....

    LadyFree28 replied to RN that never was's topic in Nursing Career

    You can skip down the street if you like; however, my point is you if even want to be a part of this business, you have to find a way to get your feet wet-not every position is a dream position, and...

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

    LadyFree28 replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in that area; there are MSNs who have been working at the bedside and are clinical instructors; nothing new for the past 10 years. However, no postings for MSN preferred in my specific area...

    LadyFree28 replied to rupertmichaes's topic in General Nursing

    Best wishes in finding that niche...however I would caution find a job that "needs" you-you may find that to be a nightmare. Find a hobby or an interest that allows you be uninhibited to your...

    Sexism in nursing

    LadyFree28 replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

    No, because I don't act "like a woman" and men don't "act" like anything. We are all human and have the same emotions; I have learned that we are different in how we approach things; the way I...

    Slanderous rumor mongers in the workplace

    LadyFree28 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't think men have the corner of playing dumb...I've gotten the science of aloofness down, as well as a motto when it comes to gossip, or even general "conversation": I only listen to what people...

    LadyFree28 replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

    Let's not paint a broad brush here...if someone is making inappropriate comments they do need to be teported, even if that means going over your managers head; you should also document when it's...

    Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    LadyFree28 replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This. Unfortunately, you ran into a particular person who has a certain mentality; it happens in nursing-speaking from experience as a diploma educated practical nurse and LPN before getting a BSN;...

    Slanderous rumor mongers in the workplace

    LadyFree28 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is it illegal for an Lpn to sign when it requires Rn signature?

    LadyFree28 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    This. It's not illegal, just a discrepancy. When I was a LPN, I had no issues signing transport forms; if my pt or resident is being received to me, of course I am going to be responsible for the pt...

    LadyFree28 replied to myallnursesusername's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    LadyFree28 replied to AJ1980's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For starters, you are entitled to your opinion; I don't take stock in opinions-everyone has one. As I stated before, it seems that there is a disconnect-those who create a hostile environment, as...
