  1. Emergency Nurse Relief Act 2009- Update

    Lovely_RN replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You would think that this would be an no-brainer. The economy is bad and the simple solution is to hire less foreign workers not more. Why is self-preservation such a dirty concept in this country?...

  2. Nurse Salary vs. Teacher Salary?

    Lovely_RN replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I like nursing better than teaching at least as a nurse my hours off are MY hours. Dismissal was at 2:45pm but sometimes I would work at home until 9pm or 10pm at night. The difference with nursing is...

  3. 2 patients requested not to have me back

    Lovely_RN replied to december2905's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't automatically assume it's racism. I'm AA and I have had AA resident's that preferred other nurses over me. It's only happened to me a few times but when it did I asked myself a few...

  4. Need motivator for NCLEX

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

    I'm supposed to be studying right now but I'm here posting instead. :uhoh21: I also don't feel motivated to study but I've been forcing myself. The thing is since I really don't want to study I am...

  5. Oklahoma Nurses get paid WHAT?!

    Lovely_RN replied to Mrs.BSN71109's topic in General Nursing

    I looked up some real estate in OKC and I saw some 3 bedroom homes with 1-2 baths for less than 100k. I live in NYC where a new grad makes about $35/hr to start so that is almost double the wage of an...

  6. "Missing" narcotic please read need help!!!

    Lovely_RN replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Maybe you should suggest a change in the way that narcotics are delivered to the floor nurses in your facility? Being handed a bag mixed with non-narcotics and signing for them without checking...

  7. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    Lovely_RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Basically this is what it all boils down to. Again I ask what is the point of this discussion? Is it really to warn future nursing students about the pitfalls of SL debt? If so then why is it in the...

  8. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    Lovely_RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why is there an assumption that the majority of people are spending their student loan money on frivolities? I'm sure that some people do but with tuition being what it is at a lot of schools it is...

  9. Decided to go Medical Assistant and discouraged

    Lovely_RN replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you can do the LPN first and then bridge to RN later? I don't know about CA but in my state it takes 2 years to get the AA in medical assisting (which allows you to become certified) and...

  10. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    Lovely_RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize that it was even possible to borrow this much money. I thought there was a cap on the amount of money that could be borrowed? 15k a year in payments is $1,250 a month and that's w/o...

  11. Quality of life: How far would you go to save your life.

    Lovely_RN replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    I know for sure that I don't want a peg or to be on a vent in a LTC...the rest I'm not sure

  12. Patients and their crazy requests

    Lovely_RN replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    What's crazier is that she has had any takers....they should be jailed for their conduct. Poor un-suspecting male aid my foot! They know better how many times have female CNAs and Nurses been offered...

  13. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    Lovely_RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why anyone even cares about another person's student loan debts? Fine ask the question if you're curious but why all the ranting about what people are choosing to do with their...

  14. How do you handle an unprofessional nurse?

    Lovely_RN replied to JavaMama98's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The woman is a fool is she doesn't count the narcotics. Doesn't she understand that once she takes those narc keys that she is the one who is going to go down in flames if something is missing? As far...

  15. Virtual ATI

    Lovely_RN replied to Stacy2009's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am on day 6 of the two week program that my school paid for. I'm sorry but I want to be very honest so I have to admit that I really hate it. The way it works is that you start off by taking an...

  16. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    Lovely_RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have about 65k in student loans but I didn't acquire them all from nursing school. The majority was for a B.A from a private college and since I was a 2nd degree student I didn't qualify for any FA...

  17. Ignorant Stupid Patients

    Lovely_RN replied to KY RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that organic foods are very costly but non-organic foods that are healthy are cheaper than fast food junk meals. It comes down to being educated about making the correct food choices and...

  18. Ignorant Stupid Patients

    Lovely_RN replied to KY RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is really frustrating isn't it? I've figured out that teaching is a two way street. Patient teaching isn't that different from classroom teaching if the "student" isn't receptive to learning then...

  19. How long it takes to receive Att, once you submitted your application to state

    Lovely_RN replied to eye-sea's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your school sent in their end of the paperwork then you should have your ATT by now. 3 months is a long time...I got mine in 3 weeks. Some of my classmates were waiting and waiting and finally...

  20. How long did you wait...?

    Lovely_RN replied to Crux1024's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took the NCLEX-PN three weeks after I graduated from my LPN program. My school is really good about sending the certificate of education to the state so I got my ATT really quickly. This time around...

  21. need to terminate

    Lovely_RN replied to travel50's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    This is a disgrace but maybe just maybe she was having a really bad day or a crisis and this type of behavior is totally out of character for her. I would spot check her work to make sure that this...

  22. Negative Threads

    Lovely_RN replied to Seagate's topic in General Nursing

    We're not allowed to vent to the "customers" so we have to do it somewhere. I have been called kind, nice, and sweet by my residents. Little do most of them know that I am seething inside at times...

  23. My God, these family members!!

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

    I had a good one yesterday in honor of Mother's Day. Thank you dear complaining witch of a daughter for wasting our time with your nonsense. You come by basically every other day and whine about how...

  24. Anyone Been Pregnant or IS Pregnant During Nursing School?

    Lovely_RN replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    Unless you're going to be in a 1+1 program I would suggest you go straight for the RN if you can. I did the LPN the first year and then the RN the second year. I think it takes a lot for a person to...

  25. Anyone Been Pregnant or IS Pregnant During Nursing School?

    Lovely_RN replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school when my baby was 4.5 months old and I graduated two years later at 23 weeks of pregnancy! It was so very hard to leave my baby at such a young age and I was still...
