  1. LATERAL Violence. How Nurses treat Nurses!

    Lovely_RN replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know what the big deal is? If you don't want to teach students then just say no. It's better than being passive aggressive, agreeing to teach, then turning around and tormenting the student...

  2. Still penny pinching

    Lovely_RN replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    My family used to eat out 3-4 times per week until I added up the cost. Dh was also buying coffee and his lunch on most days of the week and I was buying coffee and bottled water daily. No lie it...

  3. Medical staff rude to my brother;complicated;advice please

    Lovely_RN replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Our society desperately needs to be educated about death and dying and we also need to be educated about learning how to select a POA. The person you’re closest to isn't necessarily the best...

  4. The narc drawer...I'm so upset.

    Lovely_RN replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm sorry you had to learn your lesson this way but hopefully you won't be penalized to harshly. I was too trusting when I started out but I learned quickly. Thankfully I have never had to deal with...

  5. When you ask someone "why did you want to be a nurse?" and someone says....

    Lovely_RN replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    "Well my mother was a nurse..." Really she was..actually she still is but she's a retired nurse as of last year. I think that statement sums it up for those of us with nurse parents because we...

  6. If you could build your perfect Nursing Home......how would it be?

    Lovely_RN replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would dispense with the crazy diets and let them eat whatever they wanted. Is it really necessary to put a 90 year old on a 1200 cal 2-3gm Na, NCS diet? If I live to 90 I want to eat as much...

  7. I don't think I can do this anymore...

    Lovely_RN replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    mc3 time for a long vacation or a change in specialties? Maybe remind yourself that it's not you it's them? Sometimes you have to care a little bit less and just provide the "service" with courtesy...

  8. What to do if can't pass LPN exit exam but have diploma?

    Lovely_RN replied to Lynaa4life's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    ATI is nothing like the NCLEX so it's silly that schools use it to determine if they will let you sit for the boards. That said you have to pass it in order to reach your goal and the best way to do...

  9. What to do if can't pass LPN exit exam but have diploma?

    Lovely_RN replied to Lynaa4life's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Has your school given you any practice

  10. Horrible 14 1/2 hr shift.

    Lovely_RN replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    What about a psych

  11. GREAT DEAL of embarassment....thanks BON.

    Lovely_RN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Failing at 205 is actually an improvment. When you failed the first two times with 85 questions it meant that the BON was able to determine you are below the standard with a minimum amount of...

  12. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

    Lovely_RN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    What people seem to forget is that nursing is a risky job. I've been back at work for 2 shifts after my maternity leave and I'm already coming down with the cold that is going around the LTC. Can...

  13. Spoke with a nurse recruiter today

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I called today to follow up on my resume submission. I managed to engage the recruiter in a conversation. The recruiter told me that they are hiring but she has 1100 resumes to look over. She says...

  14. 2 Acceptance Lttrs...Now what? Private vs. Community college Help...

    Lovely_RN replied to BlessedMom4's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The only way I would recommend going to a private (expensive) school is if you couldn't get into a CC. Consider yourself very lucky to have the opportunity to get an almost free nursing education....

  15. CNA to NURSE on same job, Job will not change my status

    Lovely_RN replied to nursenewbe's topic in General Nursing

    I really doubt that anyone is "hating" on you. If the new orientees showed up the very next day after you told HR about your NCLEX results that means that they were interviewed and hired weeks prior...

  16. Awww! My boyfriend went to all the LTC facilities...

    Lovely_RN replied to Steffers's topic in General Nursing

    Ladies with bad boyfriends take note: This is the behavior of a

  17. CNA's and Tube Feeding: What's Your Facility's Policy?

    Lovely_RN replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    The facility that I did my clinical rotation at allowed CNAs with additional training to do simple wound care and hang tube feedings. The place where I currently work does not. It really annoys me...

  18. I'm guilty. It's about the condom catheter

    Lovely_RN replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    Not cool at all. We aren't supposed to punish bad patients but don't beat yourself up about it too much. The guy was an a$$ to put it mildly. Forgive yourself and don't do anything like that again in...

  19. NON-Nurses Giving Shots in MD Offices

    Lovely_RN replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    You're correct I missed the word

  20. NON-Nurses Giving Shots in MD Offices

    Lovely_RN replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    This is what NYSNA has to say about the MA scope of practice. http://www.nysna.org/practice/scope/med_assists.htm MAs can perform phlebotomy and there is nothing that specifically states that they...

  21. How is the economy effecting your job?

    Lovely_RN replied to Mrs leese's topic in General Nursing

    OT is hard to get because everyone seems to need the extra $$ these

  22. New Grad Guidence

    Lovely_RN replied to SAMRN01's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't get me wrong....I will still be looking for an RN job (if I don't find one soon) and working as an LPN while I attend school. It was never my intention to not work while I was in school. I'm an...

  23. 100k in debt after school!?

    Lovely_RN replied to Btran's topic in LPN to RN

    Please don't do it to yourself. I have 65k in loans (from previous BA at a university) and went back to school for my RN thinking I was guaranteed a good job and now I can't even find an RN position....

  24. New Grad Guidence

    Lovely_RN replied to SAMRN01's topic in New York Nursing

    I wish I could help but I'm in the same predicament. Every job I apply to wants BSN or experience. I got outright rejection letter from NYP, I got 3 acknowledgements that my resume has been received,...

  25. Is it CNA,then LPN, then RN??

    Lovely_RN replied to lina.561's topic in General Nursing

    This site may be helpful in describing the differences between CNA/LPN/RN. This link is for RN but you can scroll the bottom of the page for links to other titles in healthcare....
