  4. Are you required by law to have two years Med Surg experience prior to working in an ED?

    xxMichelleJxx posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi everyone, two questions. Would appreciate your insight. 1) Are you required by law to possess two years of Med-Surg experience prior to working in a ER? Is it okay for a New-Grad to work in a ER,...

    xxMichelleJxx replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    Well then in that case do whatever you feel is best. I'm not trying to side with the nurse but what if she didn't know? What if your brother said hi I'm so and sos son, I would like to know about my...

  7. My father's health information

    xxMichelleJxx replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    Are you and your siblings listed in his contacts? In a nursing home I used to work at, there was a sheet in the front with a list of contacts and saying that they could receive medical information...

  9. Tactful way to remind professor to fix grade?

    xxMichelleJxx replied to KellyVT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes I second that. Either email her again or next time you see her in class, speak to her about it. After speaking to her in person, you can email her to follow up if the grade is still not

  10. new grad RN

    xxMichelleJxx replied to Lima, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the Psych Unit. LTC can be highly challenging and I wouldn't do it again. Also from what I've seen, hospitals don't really consider LTC as experience. Atleast if you already have your...

  11. Online BLS??

    xxMichelleJxx replied to Cactus Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe most if not all employers want the BCLS to be by AHA. It is my experience that online certification classes are not AHA

  12. Fairly New LPN & need advice

    xxMichelleJxx replied to Michael Lee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I was a LPN and was in school I worked every weekend. I let my DON know that because of my school/clinical schedule during the week I was unable to work. I told her I was available weekends and...

    xxMichelleJxx replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in Emergency

    This was a HHC facility I was referring to. Orientation was cut short because they were short staffed and needed people to work the floor asap. We were never asked if we were ready. After I made this...

  14. Pathophysiology for peripheral vascular disease

    xxMichelleJxx replied to mproctor's topic in General Students

    So pretty much PVD is when there's buildup of plaque, fatty deposits and cholesterol along the lining of blood vessels. Our vessels are like a straw with blood flowing through them. If something were...

  15. LTC's are a joke

    xxMichelleJxx replied to baygrl11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I refuse to ever work in LTC again. They treat their staff with absolutely no respect. The amount of work expected for nurses to complete in the allotted time is unrealistic and unsafe. I first...

  16. Let's Ban the Phrase "I'll Go Get Your Nurse"

    xxMichelleJxx replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I love this post. I can't tell you how many times I feel this way. Its because of things like this that have made me develop a distaste for nursing and influenced me to go to school for a different...

  17. How do I effectively communicate with patients and staff and nurses in an acute hospital?

    xxMichelleJxx replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes patients will be more comfortable/willing to let you do a procedure if you explain to them exactly what you're going to do and why you're going to do

  18. whats best at 22

    xxMichelleJxx replied to jayyv19's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, if I were you I would go for the BSN route, not the associates. Of course you can get an associates in nursing and then pursue your bachelors but I just feel it makes more sense to go straight for...

  19. How in this world do you ever get 1 year experience?

    xxMichelleJxx replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you're having a difficult time finding a job in a hospital. I also have had the same issues. You should definitely apply online to hospital but also try to go in person and fill out a...

    xxMichelleJxx replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    Wow I've never seen any of my coworkers do that. If I did see it though, I would find it strange. It is kinda gross to be doing that at work IMO. I also agree with the other posters. Isnt there...

  22. Bermuda Triangle of lost supplies?!?

    xxMichelleJxx replied to djh123's topic in General Nursing

    I know that sucks. You can't control the staff the works the shift before you. When I used to work in a LTC facility and handle the med carts, I used to check both my med and treatment carts at the...

    xxMichelleJxx posted a topic in New York Nursing

    So something spilled on my license and now there's a huge stain and the paper is all weird and wrinkled. Is there anyway for me to request a duplicate license? I looked on the nysbon website. I also...
