  1. CNA troubles

    Lovely_RN replied to montinurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yep, a lot of welfare to workfare CNAs and HHAs in my neck of the woods. The job is hard enough without hating

  2. Another thread on lazy CNAs

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

    The only suggestion I have is that instead of timidly asking them to do something that you tell them to do it. Not in a nasty way but for instance when you woke the CNA at 3:20am to do his rounds you...

  3. If you can start from the beinging would you go straight for RN

    Lovely_RN replied to mydee's topic in LPN to RN

    Are the credits from your LPN program transferable to an RN program? I read that you are taking AP 1500? If you don't mind me asking...what is that? Is that a four credit A&P I class with lab...

  4. CNA this, CNA that - Enough Already!

    Lovely_RN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA should go to HR and report that nurse and if HR doesn't want to do anything about it then maybe she should tossing around words and phrases like....lawsuit, hostile work...

  5. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    Lovely_RN replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    I was a Teacher and then aCounselor before I went

  6. Four years for an associates?

    Lovely_RN replied to Annieee's topic in General Nursing

    yep, this is another typical tactic around these parts. at the cc i went to when i first decided to pursue nursing there were 900 pre-nursing students for 40 seats. i mean what where my chances? if i...

  7. LPN to RN....(i know but)

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

    I'm doing my LPN now because it's required for my school's 1-1 program. If I choose to stay on after this year I will have my RN in another 11 months. The advantage is that I will have only been out...

  8. Four years for an associates?

    Lovely_RN replied to Annieee's topic in General Nursing

    If the program is too intense to be done in the advertised alloted time then all pre-nursing students should be informed of this before they enroll. That is what my problem is....students are looking...

  9. Four years for an associates?

    Lovely_RN replied to Annieee's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing against the ADN but the truth is the truth and unless you are in a private 2 year program it does not take 2 or 2.5 years to complete the ADN program at most CCs. You are made to...

  10. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

    Lovely_RN replied to EmBeMap's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What is really sad about this post is that I have found this to be the norm rather than the exception in most

  11. Four years for an associates?

    Lovely_RN replied to Annieee's topic in General Nursing

    This is typical of most impacted CCs and this is the part that they never put in those brochures that tell you that you can be a nurse in only 2.5 years! Why spend 4 years to get the ADN? For that...

  12. I'm Hungry for more Nursing.....

    Lovely_RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in New York Nursing

    The only way to find out is to apply. Some hospitals do hire LPNs, especially the city hospitals. HHC doesn't pay very well but you will get the Med/Surg experience that you want. I saw more openings...

  13. Will ADN RNs eventually be "phased out"

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

    I think an 18-year-old should go for the BSN. It doesn't make sense, in my opinion, for someone who has 40 or even 50 years of work ahead of them to not do it. If you can go to school and not worry...

  14. Excelsior Nursing Program?

    Lovely_RN replied to RelentlessOne's topic in Excelsior College

    Only 2k to get your RN? You are very lucky, there is no program -not a single one- in my area that cost less than $10k. That 10k price? It's for 5 semesters at the highly impacted community colleges,...

  15. I had very poor LVN/LPN training. Anyone else?

    Lovely_RN replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    The cigarette story is nuts, funny, but the level of stupidity is insane. Now that I hear what you went through ILMC I feel that my school has been great! We have lecture (and other classes) twice a...

  16. 29 pts as a tech..can i handle being a nurse?

    Lovely_RN replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    I can't understand why any reasonable person would feel obligated to learn how to deal with so many patients! I mean if it rarely happened then fine, stuff happens, but to work at a place that is...

  17. 29 pts as a tech..can i handle being a nurse?

    Lovely_RN replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    You were assigned 28 patients to handle all alone and you feel guilty because you couldn't get everything done? You're kidding me right? Maybe it was a fluke but if that is the way the place is run...

  18. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    Lovely_RN replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going into it for the money because there are other jobs and professions out there that pay a lot more w/o having to jump through all of the hoops that we do to get educated and licensed. My...

  19. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

    Lovely_RN replied to EmBeMap's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not making excuses for the poor attitudes of the CNAs but their behavior likely has a lot to do with the crappy work environment. 19 patients per CNA is an absolutely ridiculous load!!! Even if...

  20. Am I crazy to do this?

    Lovely_RN replied to picturestoburn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is definitely crazy!!!!! I think a person could do one science with the Economics and Human Growth and Development and remain sane. I think a person could do two sciences and the other classes...

  21. Don't want to become a nurse anymore...

    Lovely_RN replied to yawn's topic in General Nursing

    I know for sure that I want to be a nurse and when I was on summer vacation I felt like if I never went back it would be fine. I think NS does that to a person. Go back and finish what you started...

  22. oh ye uninformed... this is why er nurses "don't care"

    Lovely_RN replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    That is absolutely disgusting. Are there no clinics in

  23. On my way to become an LVN!! WOO HOOO

    Lovely_RN replied to NICUrn2B's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats and good

  24. Returning to Nursing school

    Lovely_RN replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Nursing

    I started out doing nursing in 1998 and I changed majors and graduated with a BA in communications in 2003. It's funny because before I changed to communications I also majored in sociology for a...

  25. Assisting CNA's/not able to do my own work

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

    CNAs are delegating to nurses? Wow things have changed a lot since I was
