    purplemania replied to alexillytom's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    purplemania replied to krissiee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would contact the Education dept. where you work AND the nurse manager (in writing) to tell them you need training. Do not risk your license on their inefficiency. If they have a risk management...

  7. A VENT about nursing school!

    purplemania replied to Phenomenon's topic in General Nursing

    I would certainly ask for help when needed. It is awful that you are having such a negative experience, but don't let it cloud your whole perception of nursing. Get that license, then join a...

  15. What to say for FD's.......?

    purplemania replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    even if all you say is "I am so sorry for your loss. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Is there anyone I can call for you?" "Would you like to see our Chaplain?" "Do you want visitors at this...

  17. RN call outs, how do you handle them?

    purplemania replied to Carotid's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    while it is true we are talking about adults who SHOULD be responsible, you have to set parameters in order to discipline without

  18. Lpn 2 Rn

    purplemania replied to CECECE's topic in Online Distance Learning

    First, type in small case letters or people will think you are screaming at them. Second, I applaud your desire to jump into this program. I went to school with LVN's and some of them had trouble...

  19. Need Your Opinion Please

    purplemania replied to HannasMom's topic in General Nursing

    If you can afford it, I would recommend the job change and consider it part of your education. You probably would not earn $14/hr as a nurse extern in a hospital, which is what a lot of RN students...

  20. What happens to your integrity when you go into management?

    purplemania replied to olympiad27's topic in Nurse Management

    Stereotypes are never a good thing. Perhaps the manager has information and problems of which you are not aware (and don't need to be). I sit in meetings with managers and directors and, no matter the...

  24. What do you have in your first aid kit?

    purplemania replied to missmercy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't include meds of any kind, since I might be charged with "practicing medicine without a license" if I used them. Also, the heat in Texas destroys the meds. So I just have scissors, tape, CPR...
