    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to Cutandstitch's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you didn't have the order to discharge her yet, there wasn't much you could do. You did your part by preparing the patient as much as possible. I would simply shake off the other nurse's remark....

    BlackBettyRN,OCN posted a topic in Psychiatric

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This wasn't a nurse, but a nursing student. In my first semester of nursing school, we had a student who ate food off of a patient's tray while he wasn't looking. Then, come to find out, he was on...

  10. Medical Asst., LPN, or CNA?

    BlackBettyRN,OCN replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Nursing Career

    Out of those three options, if you have the time and money, I would do the LPN program if becoming a nurse is your ultimate goal. LPNs are nurses, and you could always do a bridge program to RN while...

    Thanks for replying. I will also be working as an LPN during this preceptorship, so I think I will be able to keep up with some of the practical skill that are used in med-surg. All I want to do is...

    Ok, do you think I should do only FNP and forget psych, or should I go back after I establish myself as an FNP? Can I practice in both specialties at whatever clinic I end up working as an FNP if I...
