  1. Abandonment

    Lovely_RN replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this is abandonment because you did not give the facility adequate time to find your replacement and that potentially left the residents in danger. Also once you clocked in how can you prove you...

  2. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    Lovely_RN replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm from NYC too (BX=Bronx RN 2be). I'm really not here to argue or debate my point. I'm just telling others about my educational background and how I went about getting into nursing school. I am...

  3. Students not working while going to school....

    Lovely_RN replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Students

    If you don't have to work during school then don't! I had no choice but to work since I don't receive any FA and I'm telling you it's the road to madness. My only issue is just how much in loans would...

  4. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    Lovely_RN replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think everyone should think about what their ultimate goal is and do the research on their own! I love talking to my fellow nurses, nursing students, and those interested in nursing but one thing...

  5. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    Lovely_RN replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have my bachelors degree and I did the LPN first. The program I did was a 1+1 program that accepted me with no pre-reqs completed because we did them while completing the LPN. I got my LPN license...

  6. BSN vs. ADN + BS in other field

    Lovely_RN replied to daffodils711's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BA in another field and I am finishing up my ADN this month. I have been checking out schools in my area (NYC metro) and I have found a few graduate programs that accept ADNs with a BA in...

  7. Does anyone else hate nursing school?

    Lovely_RN replied to jenawade25's topic in General Students

    The past two years have been dreadful especially the last year but thank God it's almost over for me. It's after 1am where I am at and I have just finished my last project for nursing school. I have...

  8. Hi, I'm Thunderwolf and I am a Smoker

    Lovely_RN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes they were free it's part of a state program called NY quits. Basically anyone living in the state of NY can call and get a 6 week supply of patches, gum, or lozenges. 1-866-NY-QUITS...

  9. Hi, I'm Thunderwolf and I am a Smoker

    Lovely_RN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Nurses Recovery

    April will make two years since I have quit smoking and so far this has been my longest stretch. Aside from my pregnancies the longest stretch was 1 year the last time I quit. I am pregnant now so I...

  10. PANICKED! Missed first day of ORIENTATION, is it all over???

    Lovely_RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    How did you miss your first day? Did you write the date down wrong? When did you realize your

  11. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    Dear resident: I'm just the person who checks your CBG and administers your insulin according to the results. Why don't you get pi**ed off with yourself instead of me when I have to call the MD about...

  12. Students that cheat

    Lovely_RN replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

    Jan will probably end up on the NCLEX forum someday crying about how she was the top student in her class and yet it's her 9th or 10th time taking the NCLEX and she just can't understand

  13. I cannot STAND working in lab student discrimination!

    Lovely_RN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you letting the prejudices of a few students spoil your experience in school? I went to undergrad at a school with a majority of caucasions and yes there were a few students who were...

  14. Does anyone do Medical Transcription?

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking my pre-req's for nursing school and I had a baby last month. I will need to return to work in 6 months or so but I can't see myself going back to my old job. With the commute I would be...

  15. Mosby's and Saunder's NCLEX study guides

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

    The test blueprint for the RN changed in 2007 so I would use the more up to date book. The books that were written in '05 are for a previous NCLEX

  16. RN's: If you can't get a hospital job then where do you envision your future?

    Lovely_RN replied to NEWGRADNURSE75's topic in General Nursing

    I've been an LPN in LTC for more than a year now so I guess it will be more of the same if I can't find anything

  17. Stable Vent Patients in LTC

    Lovely_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    It stinks that graduation is so far away but if you absolutely have to stay in this job then you will just have to suck it up. I really hate where I work but I like you have to work those 16 hours...

  18. Stable Vent Patients in LTC

    Lovely_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    How many of your patients out of the 30 would be vent patients? Would you also have a respiratory therapist on the unit? We have 2 trach patients per 41 (max census) and it's hard enough keeping up...

  19. I couldn't do your job !

    Lovely_RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I take no offense when people tell me they could never do my job. In my head I think "That's right you probably couldn't because nursing is NOT for

  20. how do you keep your sexy??

    Lovely_RN replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I don't do sexy at work because some of my male residents haven't had a woman in years and they get excited at the drop of a hat. I wear my scrubs loose and I always wear decent underwear and a...

  21. Am I being a baby?

    Lovely_RN replied to rn2newbie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can be exposed to TB in any type of patient care setting. I work in LTC and when we get new residents we do a PPD implant but since it takes 48 hours for the results we are potentially exposed...

  22. Wearing scrubs to nursing school?

    Lovely_RN replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    Our school makes up wear scrubs with the school's name embroided on the front and we have another uniform for clnical. I wouldn't wear my school scrubs to work and I think it's a silly idea but at...

  23. CNA to RN woes

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

    When will you learn? You are learning...you just learned a really good lesson. Responsible delegation is essential to the job. Yes you can change a patient just as good as any CNA or PCT and no you...

  24. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    Lovely_RN replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To the losers who think they are in a hotel and that I should wait on them hand and foot: You big dummy, you're here to be rehabilitated. How do you think that is going to happen if you refuse to get...

  25. CNA vs. RN

    Lovely_RN replied to nurturer's topic in General Nursing

    It will increase significantly because once you are the nurse you can't say "I'm not the nurse she/he is over there" You will become the person to find in just about every scenario: patient going down...
