  1. Really Really Confused? How does this all happen?

    Pets to People replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most NP programs require only 1-2 yrs of experience prior to acceptance, if you wish to gain more experience than that it will be up to you. There are also ADN to MSN programs if you only wish to get...

    Pets to People replied to Misslady113's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    First rule when treating someone in public...never listen to bystanders. Lol, just kidding, safety is the first rule and that's no joke. The emergency field calls it "white knight syndrome". You...

  4. Any INTJ personality nurses out there...I need help in choosing any advance nursing car

    Pets to People replied to BlackRN's topic in Nursing Career

    "it turns out that it's hard for acute nurses to get a job as acute nurse NP thus forced to get their DNP and eventually teach!!!" Is this any truth to

  5. Rude ED Doctors

    Pets to People replied to Skayda's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You should have called to get an "update" on "how the pt's doing" and see what they have done so far and/or what their plans are, which you could have asked the nurse instead of bothering the doctor....

  6. Stopping patient care for another patient

    Pets to People replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yup, soon as I posted I came across your comment...we were thinking the same thing. Even having them in the same room, if one starts to have a problem, goodness forbid going into anaphalaxis, the...

  7. Visiting nurse slapped with a parking ticket :-/

    Pets to People replied to PinkRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Stopping patient care for another patient

    Pets to People replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just because it was THEIR priority, doesn't make it YOUR priority. When a nurse is juggling the admin of meds she needs to keep her workflow FOREMOST in mind, she will not do her pt's any service...

  9. Stopping patient care for another patient

    Pets to People replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless the two patients you started a blood transfusion on were either in the same room or in a room right next to each other, this is not something to be proud of. If you start a transfusion on one...

  10. Pay Off My Student Loans In Full or Make Monthly Payments?

    Pets to People replied to whitecat5000's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely pay them off if you have the opportunity. You can build credit in so many other ways and yes you need a cash cushion of about 3 to 6 months worth of expenses as an emergency fund, but you...

  11. Nursing students get any assistance from the government if school wont let you work?

    Pets to People replied to ms.nikki's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I see what you are saying OP. I gave up my job to go back to school because the economy was making it so difficult to find a full-time vet tech job. I had always had my pick of jobs before, but when...

  12. WTH? Drama at work....

    Pets to People replied to tn nurse's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It wouldn't matter if you recorded them because it would be completely inadmissable in court or for any other legal

  13. NG tube in an intubated patient

    Pets to People replied to stephynic21's topic in Emergency

    I have had two furry patients die from respiratory related illnesses, and I was amazed at the amount of brown goo that would leak out from their intubation tube, more than 30mls. Both times were...

  14. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    Pets to People replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    During a disaster I would want to be with my family, no matter what, so I do not know what I would do in your situation. I understand the importance of the nurses and other medical staff showing up...

  15. How are your grades posted?

    Pets to People replied to poog's topic in General Students

    No rounding. We are given are grade as a decimal...there have been many to flunk out of our nursing program by .1 or .2

  16. Loans just for living expenses

    Pets to People replied to Doyelfamily75's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You probably already know that you should have done your research on average CNA pay, as well as applied for and recieved a job before quitting the one you were at. I would recommened cutting back on...

    Pets to People replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Deleted. Not worth

  18. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    Pets to People replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me as if no one would be good enough in your eyes. I feel sorry for any preceptors who make the mistake of choosing an NP such as one who thinks this way. Sure, those med students you...

  19. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    Pets to People replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    The majority of nurses are women, and for women pregnancy and babies are things we know a little something about, so many may tend to gravitate towards NICU, peds and L&D for that reason. I...

    Pets to People replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Huny....if I could....I would "like" this a THOUSAND

  21. Cliques within LPN classes

    Pets to People replied to MrsCuoco's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    People always tend to gravitate towards those who are most like themselves...it makes them feel more comfortable. I never tend to associate with any one group, even during my earlier school years....

  23. Very strict credit check is coming. Errors on credit report.

    Pets to People replied to UGADawgs's topic in Correctional

    When it comes to a persons credit, there are so many more factors involved than that someone is simply willfully ignoring their obligations. Of course, that is not to say there are not people like...

  24. Very strict credit check is coming. Errors on credit report.

    Pets to People replied to UGADawgs's topic in Correctional

    I am just amazed that credit reports are being dragged into employment criteria...it's none of their business! Of course, I am also amazed that weight and smoking have also become issues when seeking...

    Pets to People replied to RNCDN's topic in Nursing Career

    I mentioned that she could work in a vets office as an assistant for extra money, or volunteer, in my other post. I didn't see any reason to have to repeat myself. If you know of few people who can...
