  1. Traumatized by nursing - advice needed

    My409 replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure there have been other nurses with worse experiences who picked themselves up and kept going. It sounds like your intentions are good but your expectations are unrealistic and your idealistic...

  2. A message to new grads: NEVER....

    My409 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I must say (sadly) I have seen this done several times, especially in LTC. Rather than take the time to stop the feeding, disconnect the feeding, mix the meds with water, flush the meds, then...

  3. Which NP specialty is most needed?

    My409 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am looking into NP programs and from reading several of the posts and a little disappointed to see that NP's seem to be a dime a dozen. I was hoping the job market would be good. Is there a NP...

  4. I'm writing up the CNA at my LTC facility

    My409 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I think some nurses get a little power and it goes to their heads. It annoys me to hear LPN's say "my CNA's". Even RN's. They aren't "your" CNA's. They are the aides you work with. Like on Gone with...

  5. One more done!

    My409 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A&P and micro are very difficult. A B on either of these tests is quite impressive. But a C will take a person as far as a B or an A. Once you are an RN you are an RN regardless of whether your...

  7. Is there a nursing shortage in the Philippines?

    My409 replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone who wants to embrace the American way and Americanize themselves is welcome here as far as I'm concerned. I just feel resentful when people come and try to turn their environment into what they...

  8. They called 911 & sent me out. I learned a lesson!

    My409 replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Most all fruits and vegetables have loads of potassium, as much as bananas. Bananas are usually what people suggest because they are so handy to grab and eat. When I was in nursing school I was under...

  9. Passed A&P, now Microbiology

    My409 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That is a difficult test.

  10. We make as much as maids

    My409 replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we should sign on with the local sanitation

  11. CPNE in 9 days!!!!!!!!

    My409 replied to medicrnohio's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The times can vary, depending on where you are going to test. Someone willing to travel can probably get in faster than someone who can only test at one site. I say give it 3-4 months. I took mine...

  12. does IL recognize deaconess grads?

    My409 replied to KSTNLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think he is trying to be totally obnoxious. I can see his

  13. Dealing with a Needle Stick

    My409 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in private duty nursing and am considered a private contractor by the agency that hired me. Tonight I got a needle stick from an insulin shot I gave the patient, who also has cirrhosis of the...

  14. Excelsior Admission

    My409 replied to H60Medic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you are an Excelsior RN coming from out of state to California does this make any difference? In other words, say I am licensed as an RN through Oklahoma (through EC) and later move to CA...how...

  15. Please tell me what you would do in my situation (Re:LPN to RN program)

    My409 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    If you go through Excelsior before the state decides to stop accepting them you will no doubt be grandfathered in, as the Excelsior RN's in CA are being grandfathered

  16. What is a Certified Nurse Technician II?

    My409 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, sounds like they are trying to use these "CNA II" employees as cheap nurses. Heck, the hospital pays bad enough as it is. And then lay folks are flabbergasted...
