  1. Nurse sexually assaults patient

    DelightRN replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    Is there something you wanted to discuss about this? Or just to bring it to everyone's

  2. Tuition reimbursement for MSN?

    DelightRN replied to fergus51's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You should come down for a share day and see if you might like it. It really is a great place to work. You have to be on staff for 6 months before you can utilize the educational benefit, though. PM...

  3. Dilemma with Narcotic Med Count

    DelightRN replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even see how that DON would have any wiggle room. If DON and OP both signed off that the count was correct at 11, unless someone else had access to the narc cabinet/drawer/whatever (eek!), she...

  4. Tuition reimbursement for MSN?

    DelightRN replied to fergus51's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Enid, I'm starting an RN to MSN program through UoP in June... I'm very excited about it. There are so many people that don't take advantage of the awesome educational benefit we have. I should...

  5. Would you have called?

    DelightRN replied to jeepgirl's topic in Pediatric

    How's the kid? If I were as concerned as you, I would have called. There's no such thing as too much communication between RN and MD, in my opinion. I also would have documented my concerns, my...

  6. Tuition reimbursement for MSN?

    DelightRN replied to fergus51's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I get 100% tuition advancement, which means that they pay the school directly, I don't have to front any money at all (except for books/fees/non-tuition expenses). The company will pay for any...

  7. Dilemma with Narcotic Med Count

    DelightRN replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    If the count was correct when you left at 11, its not your problem, its the

  8. Breaking Contract - Scholarship Payback Length of Time

    DelightRN replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I didn't get a loan for that amount, I paid them out of pocket. To me getting a loan to pay off another loan is too much like robbing Peter to pay

  9. Breaking Contract - Scholarship Payback Length of Time

    DelightRN replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    My contract did not include a particular position, only that I agreed to work as an RN for 30 months at that facility. When I graduated, they didn't have the position I wanted and so I went elsewhere....

  10. Breaking Contract - Scholarship Payback Length of Time

    DelightRN replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    I did this exact thing, and had to pay it back in 24 months. It was a pretty hefty monthly payment, but worth it not to work

  11. Ethics of feeding tube

    DelightRN replied to sharann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would say no. What you are proposing is that this person have an invasive procedure done, and an alternative way of nourishment for the convenience of the staff. Just because the person eats slowly?...

  12. Canadian RNs... please lend me your expertise.

    DelightRN posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hello all... I'm completing a lightening fast BSN program (18 months), I've been an RN for a number of years now and I'm looking to emigrate to Canada. I've been looking for information on licensure...

  14. Baltimore- Do You Love It or Hate It?

    DelightRN replied to allsmiles's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Eh, PG county. I agree, there are tons of nice areas. I'm currently waiting to close on a property in anne arundel

  15. Who wears gloves when starting an IV?

    DelightRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I also prep without gloves but ALWAYS put them on before I

  16. Finding Jobs- Before or After Graduation?

    DelightRN replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had my first job well before graduation. I started applying and interviewing in late march/early April, graduated in June. Started in July after I passed boards. Its never too early to start. If...

  17. The future of Nursing and our healthcare system

    DelightRN replied to EnduringFaith's topic in Nursing Career

    You're welcome. I'm sorry to hear that you have been denied access to healthcare. Do you not have health benefits through your

  18. The future of Nursing and our healthcare system

    DelightRN replied to EnduringFaith's topic in Nursing Career

    It has not been my experience that those people who cannot afford healthcare do not have access to it. I have worked for several facilities that provided excellent care to the indigent populations...

  19. tired of bedside care, options???

    DelightRN replied to sun_chica's topic in Nursing Career

    I disagree with this. I think that ER and M/S are very different areas, and being successful in one does not necessarily mean you'll be successful in the other. The inverse is also true... not being...

    DelightRN replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I wish to be done. Therefore, I can't wait to start. Hee! How's it

  21. tired of bedside care, options???

    DelightRN replied to sun_chica's topic in Nursing Career

    The obvious answer is why don't you try to find a job in the ED? Lots of EDs offer fellowships these days to train you to be an ED nurse. It sounds like that is where you would really like to be....

  22. Where do you keep your stethescope?

    DelightRN replied to Still Riding's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't carry a stethoscope around with me. One of my kids would probably try to strangle me or another kid with it. When I worked medical peds, I wore it around my neck or in my pocket (Littmans are...

  23. tired of bedside care, options???

    DelightRN replied to sun_chica's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd be interested, too. 6 months is no time at all, especially for a new nurse. What did you think you'd like about nursing to begin with? It strikes me that you have worked in very stressful, acute...

  24. Is my patient going to die??

    DelightRN replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to add that it is not at all a bad thing, or an unprofessional one, to cry over a patient. I have done it on more than one

  25. Online RN to BSN Programs

    DelightRN replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Awesome. I'm starting my RN to MSN program in June, and I'm really excited. I can't wait to
