  1. Writing RX as a nurse

    Lovely_RN replied to ale_kat03's topic in General Nursing

    this is from the texas board of nursing nurse practice act for rn. http://bon.state.tx.us/nursinglaw/pdfs/npa2005.pdf if that is what is says about rns then you don't even have to look at the scope...

  2. Writing RX as a nurse

    Lovely_RN replied to ale_kat03's topic in General Nursing

    Your kidding right? This RN sounds like she isn't wrapped to tight....does she mean transcribe a telephone order from an MD or does she mean actually write an Rx? As in patient X has HTN and I think I...

  3. Please help- did I pass the TEAS?

    Lovely_RN replied to miraalexmom's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    It depends on the program. My program required an overall grade of 70% or better with no section less than 45% But that doesn't mean anything when everyone scores above that....they just take the top...

  4. am I the only one who feels this way

    Lovely_RN replied to VM85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN school sucked monkey testicles and the RN program isn't any better. The only words of comfort I can offer are that it does have to end eventually and being a working nurse is NOT like being a...

  5. Nurses salary vrs teacher's salary

    Lovely_RN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Every word you wrote hit home with me. The only difference is that I was an elementary school teacher. I am working on my RN right now but I make more as an LPN and I am less stressed out than I ever...

  6. What route to go..LPN first or straight 2 RN?

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

    If I was young, single, and had no obligations I would have gone straight for the BSN. Since I am not any of those things I had to do the LPN first and I have no regrets. The LPN license has enabled...

  7. So confused/upset/hopeless. Current CNA student needing advice.

    Lovely_RN replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize for upseting you because it was not my intention to do so. I tend to look at the gross situations I find myself in with humor and I thought that I was expressing that emotion with my post...

  8. So confused/upset/hopeless. Current CNA student needing advice.

    Lovely_RN replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm cracking up over here....you have no idea of all of the nasty things you will encounter as a nurse. :chuckle This past weekend I was giving a resident her meds and she choked on the water and...

  9. emt to cna to lpn good idea?

    Lovely_RN replied to methodticalz's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think an EMT might be frustrated in the CNA role. CNAs do very basic patient care....bedmaking, tolieting, baths etc. If you work in the hospital you might be able to upgrade to PCT (patient care...

  10. Help: My Nursing Instructor is a Bully!

    Lovely_RN replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    Stay as far away from this instructor as you possibly can and when have to be in her presence only speak when spoken to. It seems like she has a lot of power and it also seems as if your school's...

    Lovely_RN replied to thundercat LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    i'm sure you made your post with the best intentions but some lpns will be offended by your comments. i'm graduating april '09 and hope to pass rn boards by july at the latest. however, i am...

  12. Weekly weights

    Lovely_RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Weekly weights on everyone? Yikes! That would drive the CNAs at my job to drink....they hardly have enough time to do the monthly ones as it is. We only do weekly weights if it's necessary for that...

  13. "Some people aren't meant to be nurses!"

    Lovely_RN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's so wrong with saying that some people AREN'T meant to be nurses. Heck, some people aren't meant to be a: Fire fighter.....teacher.....lawyer....doctor....baker...hairdresser....etc to...

  14. Have you ever NOT shown up when you were scheduled to work?

    Lovely_RN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I was approved for a personal day and the staffing office put me on the schedule anyway so I was put down as a no call no

  15. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    Lovely_RN replied to AZMOMO2's topic in General Students

    Sorry I didn't mean to come off sounding blunt and angry. It's just that I really resent when the CNAs assume that I do nothing more than pass a couple of pills and then rest on my hinney. Yes working...

  16. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    Lovely_RN replied to AZMOMO2's topic in General Students

    I was a CNA who used to think that that all the nurse does is pass meds. :icon_roll No we don't do all of the same things that CNAs do and no we cannot always come in and lend a hand because we have...

  17. Concerns with brand new nurses

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

    I think a lot of the fault lies with the nursing programs. New grads are simply not receiving the hands on training that they need during clinical. Add that to all of the cramming that goes on in...

  18. To renew an LPN license or not, once an RN?

    Lovely_RN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    Basically, I know I could get way more as a per diem RN but I am worried about the way the economy is going right now. What if it takes me a while to find an RN position? At least I have a union job...

  19. To renew an LPN license or not, once an RN?

    Lovely_RN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to keep mine so that I can make a little side money at my current job after I graduate with my RN in '09. My job only uses RNs on one unit and I don't want to work there. The only other...

  20. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Lovely_RN replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Never mind socialized medicine possibly affecting nursing jobs in the future. The bigger problem that is happening right now is a lack of patients with the ability to pay their bills. Hospitals See...

  21. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Lovely_RN replied to unclebenny20's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My mother always says: "Nothing beats a trial but a failure." We don't know for sure that "socialized" medicine will work for the U.S but what we do know for sure is that what we have right now isn't...

    Lovely_RN replied to renee_cal's topic in New York Nursing

    I graduated from the LPN program in Dec '07 and I will graduate from the ADN program in April. It's a very competitive program to get into and it's very intense since you will be completing your RN...

  24. In your LTC dining room

    Lovely_RN replied to LPN&momof3's topic in General Nursing

    It's required in my state. It's not that bad though because each floor only has to do dining room duty on one day of the

  25. Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

    Lovely_RN replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I selected not sure because this profession isn't for everyone. I wouldn't recommend that someone who is not suited for the job become a nurse but if they have a passion for it then I would say go for...
