I graduated from the program August 2014. The program is intense and watch out for Dr. V.

Put him in his place... He has more to chew before he can swallow... Haha😁. His time will come.

Great advice Gooselady!

Just stay there for a while so you can get the experience.

I have been doing UM/CM for over a year now and from my opinion you would be going backwards and downgrading yourself. UM is not really "nursing." You don't have to be a nurse to do some of the stuff we do. I think UM is so boring....but that's ju...

You don't have to be smart to do anything. You just have want to do it, be compassionate, and willing to do it. I know a lot of nurses who are smart, but can't do nursing.

University of San Francisco has a DNP program that's not online.

Of course Duke! It's waaay better than CSUN! How can you pass up Duke?

You need more assistants and need to delegate more. A DON never goes on the floor, according to Title 22 a DON doesn't have charge nurse responsibility. It will take time to know how to manage your time and your staff. Nine months is barely learni...

Well I think you are working in an unhealthy environment. You mentionend it was ghetto so you are too good for this place. You should file a report for harassment. Document the days, events, and names just in case.

I work in LTC and a charge nurse means you're one of the floor nurses but still responsible for the LVS and CNAs. As a new grad you should not go to a SNF it's going backwards. Eveyone should have experience in the hospital. It is hard to get into ...

Kaplan Qbank is good too... Just remember... Are you trying to promote or prevent... I kept those in mind when I took the test. Hopes it helps :) Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I help my CNAs transfer, turn patients, take them to the BR when they are not available. But I am not going to do all their work, that's why we have CNAs. It is called team work. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com
