    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to love_heal_yoga's topic in Maryland Nursing

  5. some questions about 24hour chart check

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

  6. New Grad RN and loving it!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats. Now my advice to you is: Don't refer to LPNs as if RNs own them. LPNs are not "yours" neither are CNAs. LPNs have their own license and accountability. From a LPN to

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Or it can mean that person has EXCELLENT test taking skills. Haha! Passing NCLEX with 75 questions in less than an hour doesn't impress me one single bit. Sorry.... I passed nclex in 45 min, I never...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to 2RNornot2RN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Opinions Please!!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to TFos's topic in General Students

    All the advice here is great, but you need to do what is best for you and your family. It will work out either way. I know many students that had babies mid semester and walked across the stage at...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to circularstaircase's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    Keep Covering your butt. That is my only advice. You did the right thing advocating for your

  16. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    Easier said then done. She is a BSN and can't get a job. I'm a ADN and got a job right out of school. All of these fancy degrees don't matter at times. It is all about how the person presents...

  17. Remember why you became a nurse...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to 2bNurseynursenurse1's topic in General Nursing

    What a great post. I advise you to print this out, so before you come on AN to B%&^* and moan you'll have this to read. We come here to vent. I don't see it as how you

  18. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    I was a LPN before RN and I emphasized on that when I looked for jobs. Trust me not everyone discounts LPN experience. Not only did my currently employer recognize it I also got paid a little extra...

  19. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    This was not what I meant. I think it is great to offer advice. I was just hate when members say things like" I hope you don't have this attitude when applying for jobs" or "I hope you don't act like...

  21. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    On another note: we do need to allow the OP to vent. There are a ton of things we vent about on AN that never come across in our work life. Everyone offered great advice and tips but some people are a...

  23. Parent not satisfied with my nursing care

    OnlybyHisgraceRN posted a topic in School

    This bothers me to no end. I have no one to blame but myself. Today was my first time using an insulin pen and a very long time. First, I forgot to prime needle by wasting 2 units in trash ( parent...

  24. High School Nurse Interview, please advise

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to sunnshinesikes's topic in School

    I'm not a seasoned nurse. Just be prepared to answer behavioral questions and the general interview questions. They may give you different scenarios and may ask what student would you see first....

  25. Is it crazy to want to quit my job after 2 days???

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Smilee1116's topic in General Nursing

    Ask for more orientation. If they say no, then resign and see what the other job has to offer. An experienced nurse needs more than three days of orientation
