    Nursing Student From Hell

    twinmommy+2 replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree. It was not like she was giving her patient assignments and the student was taking care of everything while the preceptor was no where to be found. The patient assigned was not...

    Medical Assisting or RN?

    twinmommy+2 replied to Cruisin1313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you would get more insight into nursing from the CNA standpoint instead of the MA one. If it is what you want in the end go for the

    I need help supervising!

    twinmommy+2 replied to bwilsonrn's topic in General Nursing

    The fun stuff is great and all but not what people are really looking for in a supervisor. I want support from them when I need it and space if I am not asking for help-no micromanaging. I want to...

    MSN vs DNP toward Family Nurse Practitioner

    twinmommy+2 replied to dhaynes1221's topic in General Nursing

    Totally your choice based on how you work with your education. I'm in a BSN-DNP program because I despise being on long breaks from education, it gets me off my

    twinmommy+2 replied to MSUOUgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There does come a time for raising your voice and speaking to them as you would a child in order to set limits. Giving them option A or option B but they may not have C,D or E. They have so much...

    RN thinking of quitting job b/c of IV's.

    twinmommy+2 replied to Phe12's topic in General Nursing

    But she can't trade...because she works at an infusion clinic. It doesn't make sense to me. If that were my weak point (granted for good reason) I wouldn't have even

    Sick policy vs. reality

    twinmommy+2 replied to rquinn0111's topic in General Nursing

    There is a lot that can be said against the VA but our leave program rocks. 8 hrs PTO per pay, 4 hrs separate sick leave per pay. 5 full weeks of vacation per year, not counted against your sick time....

    I havn't worked PP or in Woman's Health, but I would think that a good solid base as an ER nurse would be helpful in that field. Good luck to

    twinmommy+2 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Once I asked a clerk in Kmart where the checkbook covers were. They looked really puzzled and while leading me down to an aisle to where she thought it was, said that "you know I think Walmart has...

    Learning Intimate Exams

    twinmommy+2 replied to ethics&modesty's topic in General Students

    I was fortunate to have done sessions with a female and male GU instructor and it was a really great experience. I have done several pelvic exams as a SANE nurse and still learned quite a bit during...

    Can an RN assess for spinal injection need?

    twinmommy+2 replied to chsc90's topic in General Nursing

    No its not ok. They are passing their duties onto someone who is not qualified to assess for this, and not even reassessing when its time. Now what do you think will happen when something does go...

    Moms any advice?

    twinmommy+2 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
