  1. Help me decide on rn to bsn on line.....

    AJJKRN replied to Koroll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    WGU all the way. It may be more classes but it should be self paced like the BSN to MSN. Some classes may only take a week since the content is easier the more familiar the student is with it. It's...

  2. Didn't know I was prohibited from practicing.....ADVICE NEEDED

    AJJKRN replied to Lmsmith063's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This is exactly why every damn nursing school should require prospective applicants to pass a damn background check. OP, you now know not to ever listen to friends again when it concerns your...

  3. New 2-year contract required months after being hired on. Should I decline?

    AJJKRN replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the other hospital caught wind of the contract and decided that they didn't want to train new grads for an expensive price tag and have the potential to lose out on their investments...

  5. WGU - Laptop questions

    AJJKRN replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    Cool, I wasn't aware it was fixed. I personally had many issues with windows 10 when I upgraded on my personal computer though and while I understand that "working out the kinks" happens....Microsoft...

  6. Unreasonable requests

    AJJKRN replied to emmafrancis's topic in General Nursing

    I tell pts that hospital beds are made to function and are not made for comfort. As as far as asking for tests...I too would have referred them to when the MD's round. Even though management may not...

  7. WGU - Laptop questions

    AJJKRN replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    My kid wanted Windows 7 because of the issues with windows 10 but the gaming stuff has to do with the Core i5 or whatever as I'm sure you are already familiar with. This computer supports all of his...

  8. WGU - Laptop questions

    AJJKRN replied to pmabraham's topic in Western Governors University

    Mill ask my son what we be ugh him for Christmas that supports his gaming (he's going into IT soon....just turned 18!). FWIW, keep in mind that windows 10 is having its fair share of issues and is not...

  9. Nursing Interventions

    AJJKRN replied to IvyRN2017's topic in General Nursing

  10. RN shortage

    AJJKRN replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    I would not be so quick to shrug off hospitals going to great lengths to recruit international nurses, especially from the Philippines. My hospital will soon get their third wave of Filipino nurses in...

  11. How do nurses last?

    AJJKRN replied to KariT's topic in General Nursing

    In all honesty KariT, this nurse you're talking about isn't leaving nursing but trying to advance their career educationally (even if they're not going about it in the smartest way). NP's are still...

  12. RN shortage

    AJJKRN replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    I think that there is a shortage of retention and new grads really knowing what they're getting themselves into...too many Indians wanting to be

  13. CNA Issues

    AJJKRN replied to nurse_lizzie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think that this may be more of a hierarchy issue with the CNA feeling as though you (the nursing student) had no business nor authority to ask/tell them what to do or interrupt their workflow to...

  14. Compression stockings for 12 hour shifts

    AJJKRN replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

  15. How do you handle HCAHPS?

    AJJKRN replied to jag nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work nights...whiteboard police aye? Do we work in the same facility! Disclaimer: It's not that night shifts gets out of the same expectations but we don't have the managers rounding or the...

  16. Weird meeting with manager

    AJJKRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are there other options for employment in your area? This sounds like a punitive work environment that blatantly overlooks system errors and/or your manager is not supportive in creating and...

  17. Newgrad+Nights = Study Time?

    AJJKRN replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a nightshifter myself...what makes you think that nights will be less busy? Why do people still continue to think that patients sleep at night, at all, ever? And your patient ratio...are you...

  18. Need help with ideas for a research paper topic about "leadership and healthcare"!

    AJJKRN replied to Vanclemons's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  19. Apparently, bedside nursing is ruining my body.

    AJJKRN replied to quazar's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Is lactation consultant possible? I would be curious about community health or case management with a focus on little ones,

  20. JP/ Chest Tubes

    AJJKRN replied to greney80's topic in General Nursing

    In my facility if you're in the ICU's then you have standing orders to strip both CT's & JP's, etc every four hours. You still need an order to irrigate though. Now when outside of the ICU...

    AJJKRN replied to MaNeTri's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  22. Favorite shoes

    AJJKRN replied to ha081917's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like my Nikes, Reeboks, and Skechers with some really good insole inserts. I liked a pretty specific pair of Nurse Mates a long time ago but they retired the style. I still put really good insoles...

  23. My hair is dyed.. Job interview

    AJJKRN replied to mallerina87's topic in General Nursing

    I was just using the term loosely in response to how old school but also how narrow minded that the responding poster was being towards my response. They just seemed (to me) to come out of left field...

  24. My hair is dyed.. Job interview

    AJJKRN replied to mallerina87's topic in General Nursing

    This train of thought is what leads to ageism and younger people thinking that we older people won't be able to "get with the program" because we'll be too slow or won't be able to deal with change....

  25. Heparin injection sites

    AJJKRN replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    Look in the drug book you have available. Administration should be covered in the topics. Enoxaparin/Lovenox states in Micromedex that it should only be given in the abdomen. Can't remember about...
