  1. Personal Dilemma...Need Advice (long)

    Lovely_RN replied to arizonanurse's topic in General Nursing

    It can't be the perfect time for you to go to CNM school....because you don't really want to go. I think it might be the most convinient time because you have minimal obligations but the perfect time?...

  2. Terrifying Article

    Lovely_RN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not mad at all but I am thinking that if your statement was true the media would jump on it. The media loves the "can women have it all?" "Working mothers" etc focus. I am pretty sure if there...

  3. Abusive Nursing Instructors-LPN

    Lovely_RN replied to nurselala33's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OP: Your daughters have my sympathy! I am going through an LPN program right now and my entire class is abused on a daily basis. We are being treated like idiot and prisoners. The insults just keep...

  4. Why are paper towel dispensers locked?

    Lovely_RN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of people have fuzzy logic, to them stealing paper towels isn't really stealing. That same person would not steal something that they consider expensive because to them that would be stealing...

  5. buying a pulse ox of my own?

    Lovely_RN replied to LanaBanana's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Why does it have to be called bashing just because other people have expressed a different perspective from the OP in regard to buying their own pulse ox? I thought the purpose of having a forum was...

  6. Difficulty with a CNA

    Lovely_RN replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    I am definitely not attacking you so please don't take it that way. When I was a CNA I felt the same way that you do about what a nurses job is. Trust me there is a whole LOT more to it then just...

  7. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Lovely_RN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it will certainly be interesting. Especially since for the most part baby boomers have grew up in the culture of expectation (no offense.) They expect to have it all and will expect to continue...

  8. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    Lovely_RN replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the patient should ultimately decide if they want another person in the exam room but I think they should be asked during a private consultation with the provider before the exam takes placed....

  9. buying a pulse ox of my own?

    Lovely_RN replied to LanaBanana's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My mother is an LPN at a LTC that is routinely short of: Clean linen, A&D ointment, gloves in more than one size, clothing for the residents, deordorant etc. Some of the nurses have bought...

  10. Want to get my foot in the door! Help

    Lovely_RN replied to ryny143's topic in New York Nursing

    Well as a former CNA I can tell you that being a CNA is not that big of a deal as far as helping you to become a nurse. It will help you feel more comfortable around the patients and you can work on...

  11. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    Lovely_RN replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why it has to be so black and white; a person can be in it for more than one reason. I am going into it for the caring, the cash, and the security. If I simply wanted to "care" I could...

  12. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Lovely_RN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Well I for one don't think that having blue eyes and blonde hair = perfection but I digress. I think the issue is that many American's simply do not understand or accept death. The media plays a...

  13. Hospitals that Reimburse Tuition

    Lovely_RN replied to Jennyfur1234's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know where exactly in New York you live but if you are close to the metro area you can try to get a job with HHC. The majority of the students in my nursing program are from HHC (health and...

  14. FRUSTRATED!!! and need advice!

    Lovely_RN replied to graceland's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you have to sit down and make a list of the pros and cons of your situation. I have a BA already and plenty of student loans but I decided that I would go ahead and do the loans for an RN...

  15. Hourly Pay or Salary... What is best?

    Lovely_RN replied to Cairo662's topic in General Nursing

    Yep this is true. I was a salaried worker who was considered "management" and I didn't receive OT, even when I had to work 6 days per week:( . My husband is a salaried worker and he DOES receive OT...

  16. My perspective...

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

    Hmmm wfperseus Maybe you should tell the CNA who is attempting to delegate to you that you are not in management and you were not the one who decided to add the additional tasks to her job duties....

  17. My perspective...

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

    I worked in a hospital as a CNA and never in my wildest dreams did I think of asking one of the RNs to do my job. The majority of them helped out when they had time to spare but there was never a...

  18. at my wit's end trying to get info...please help!

    Lovely_RN replied to Kait's topic in New York Nursing

    Where in Manhattan is the apartment? If it's in a great neighborhood below 96th street I would jump on it. If it's not in a good area then I would tell them to forget it. $26/hr for an RN is super...

  19. In LPN school full-time when u have children??????

    Lovely_RN replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I attend school full-time and my baby is almost 5 months old. It's hard but do able. The most important part is having good, reliable childcare in place because you cannot afford to miss days. Lucky...

  20. Breast impants..again..

    Lovely_RN replied to rnnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    My sister was a G cup and she got a reduction over the summer. Now she is down to a D and she says she feels great. All of her back pain is gone and she no longer has to spend $75 per bra. I am on the...

  21. My perspective...

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

    I don't think that the CNA will ever be able to understand just how much nurses have to know and do. I was a CNA and from our perspective it looks like the nurses are sitting on their humps doing...

  22. Is LPN class worth of 23K?

    Lovely_RN replied to jihyun0114's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You have to assess your particular situation and decide if it's right for you. I am in a 1+1 program meaning that we have to become LPN's in order to do go on to the RN portion of the program. We may...

  23. Staff nurse with MSN

    Lovely_RN replied to NextSummer's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it because might change your mind in the future. Why wait until you actually need the advance degree to get it? If you have the time and resources to do it now then go for it. Who knows what...

  24. School uniforms.. ugh..

    Lovely_RN replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    We have too wear all white too with an ugly blue and orange

  25. Ready to start writing up techs

    Lovely_RN replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I got so mad when I read this post I couldn't finish reading the responses. :angryfire Who friggen cares if these techs get mad at you for making them do their job! It's the patients that end up...
