  1. Do Nurses Live in Fear of Being Fired???

    Lovely_RN replied to WVStarFish's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work doing your job the way it's supposed to be done makes you a target. The good for nothings get away with murder and those of us who try to do our best get the shaft. If you work too hard...

  2. How is the Job Market in NYC right now?

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm already an LPN and I am currently in an RN program and I will graduate in early Spring

  3. How is the Job Market in NYC right now?

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I have to go to the fair...it's part of an assignment. That is why I am asking if I should take it seriously and give out resumes or if it's just too early to worry

  4. Over reacted

    Lovely_RN replied to miss_c's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing....considering your child's history there is always the possiblity that it could have been an anaphylactic

  5. I'm starting to get concerned about salary...

    Lovely_RN replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    What state do you live in? What's the cost of living

  6. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    Lovely_RN replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    I can only speak for myself but I do think that most of the posters aren't stupid and they did "get" what the OP was trying to say. The question is why bother being a nurse when what you really want...

  7. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    Lovely_RN replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I always thought that it was illness that brought the patients to the hospital so that doctors AND nurses could keep collecting their

  8. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    Lovely_RN replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    Becoming a nurse is huge investment and it just seems like a waste to do it with the sole intent of going on to med school shortly after. I met a doc who was a nurse but she became a nurse in her...

  9. Westchester Medical Center

    Lovely_RN replied to bjlesm's topic in New York Nursing

    Do you know what their staffing ratios are? Say for example on med/surg? I think that last thing I read was that they start at about $55k. Crazy how the rate of pay goes down so significantly when...

  10. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    Lovely_RN replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    Getting into med school is competitive, I would pick an easier undergrad major then nursing if I wanted to be a

  11. I know they're not all like this, but whats up with Nursing Homes?!?

    Lovely_RN replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :yeahthat: I agree 100% as cold as it is the truth is the truth. It's only been six months for me and I feel like I have got to get out of the NH or I will go crazy. It's not the hard work that...

  12. I know they're not all like this, but whats up with Nursing Homes?!?

    Lovely_RN replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Situations like this are kind of touchy because changing the resident is the right thing to do. However, everyone has a job that they are responsible for and if you always stop to do someone else's...

  13. I know they're not all like this, but whats up with Nursing Homes?!?

    Lovely_RN replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Amen to that^^^ The only thing that happened after the state came to our facility was another form for the nurses to fill out!!!! I also have advised the CNAs I work with to not bring supplies from...

  14. Off orientation -- now MP is being so rude

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

    I think you should confront her every time she is rude to you. When someone gives me attitude I will ask them (really nicely) are they O.K? and have I done something to make them mad with me. When...

  15. I know they're not all like this, but whats up with Nursing Homes?!?

    Lovely_RN replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The NH that I work at isn't that bad but I have seen some that are horrible. It's all about staffing. On the floor that I work it's hard to provide good care because there are 3 or 4 CNAs and 1 LPN...

  16. Ever feel pressured to go out of your scope?

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Im a new LPN (5 months) and I work in a LTC/Rehab. I dread when a resident has an order for an IV med because I know I am going to either be made fun of, or be made to feel guilty for being overly...

  17. DoNot exclude Saunders from your studying!

    Lovely_RN replied to mitexas4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am a big Saunders fan too. Me and everyone else in my class who used it for the NCLEX-PN passed with the minimum amount of questions. I will definitely stick with Saunders when I take my NCLEX-RN...

  18. To Rn or BSN?? That is the question.

    Lovely_RN replied to Renae14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a bachelors degree in communications so it doesn't relate at all to what I am doing now. I did things a bit differently, I actually found a 1+1 program. So instead of doing an Accelerated 2nd...

  19. To Rn or BSN?? That is the question.

    Lovely_RN replied to Renae14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Since you have a clinical seat I advise you to get your RN then do an RN-BSN completion program. The advantage is that you will be a working RN making the same money or slightly less money than a BSN...

  20. To Rn or BSN?? That is the question.

    Lovely_RN replied to Renae14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When you say you have been accepted into a nursing program do you mean you are actually IN the program or are you still doing pre-reqs? If you have a definite spot it would be foolish to give it up on...

  21. Did You Attend Brooklyn Adult learning center, Are you able To transition LPN-RN????

    Lovely_RN replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    Is 2009 a typo? Is that your choice or is that what is

  22. Ever feel pressured to go out of your scope?

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

    Sigh, I think it's just the culture of this LTC to be lax in everything until the ______ hits the fan. Today I got into a huge blow out with a resident because I wouldn't leave her meds at the...

  23. rules rules rules!!!and bad ones!

    Lovely_RN replied to NewStudentGirly's topic in LPN to RN

    Sorry, it wasn't my intention to make you feel bad for venting. I just think that you will be so busy once you start LPN school you won't even be able to think about what comes

  24. rules rules rules!!!and bad ones!

    Lovely_RN replied to NewStudentGirly's topic in LPN to RN

    Relax and don't put the horse before the cart. It's not like you've been denied entrance to the bridge program because of the school's policy. You haven't even started your LPN program yet! Focus on...

    Lovely_RN replied to spongebob6286's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
