  1. LPN school Orientation

    bugya90 replied to Bryana1028's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    There is no all online LPN program that I am aware of. You need to research schools in your area to see what the requirements are. A quick Google search will do

  2. Opinions on Affordable Care Act?

    bugya90 replied to lightpinkrose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is actually very possible. I work in a family Ned clinic and I let our patients who are nursing students come in to interview is and our providers a lot. We actually had one just last week. They...

  3. LPN school Orientation

    bugya90 replied to Bryana1028's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It depends on the school. You have to apply and if you are accepted they will send you the info that you need. You need to contact your

  4. A little frustrated/confused about BSN/ADN

    bugya90 replied to hellfirecat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've actually heard it blamed on both from people online and from management. I think magnet status equals higher reimbursements from ACA so it's all tied into one excuse. I gave up trying to keep up...

  5. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    bugya90 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    California pay is actually not that great when compared with their cost of living. My house cost $120,000 here in Texas. A similar house in California would cost well over $500,000. Yes in the south...

  6. A little frustrated/confused about BSN/ADN

    bugya90 replied to hellfirecat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I work for a large multi hospital organization. Our system wide goal is for 80% of hospital RNs to have a BSN (or be actively enrolled in a program leading to a BSN) by 12/31/20. So that's where the...

  7. Need advice re: Reporting suspected drug diversion

    bugya90 replied to CloverPark's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Does your facility allow random drug testing? If so you as the supervisor should request a drug test. You can use the excuse of the narc count being off multiple times as reasoning or you could just...

  8. Is it ever ok?

    bugya90 replied to brycross33's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the patient is telling you about the abuse then you have to report it. If the doctor is telling you about the abuse of a patient then that falls under the "need to know" category. Sometimes our...

  9. Let My Temporary License Lapse...

    bugya90 replied to westieluv's topic in Texas Nursing

    I believe you will have to start the process over again. Have you checked the BON website? It should say everything you need to

  10. Tattoos?

    bugya90 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    For those of you who seem to think people with tattoos are somehow uneducated, shallow, or otherwise incompetent; next time you go in for surgery ask your surgeon how many on his/her team have tattoos...

  11. Am I able to get a raise once I get my BSN?

    bugya90 replied to nightflower's topic in General Nursing

    My facility used to pay the same for ADN and BSN. At the beginning of this year they gave a 2% raise for BSN. Ask HR, the worst they can do is tell you

  12. hiring pregnant RN

    bugya90 replied to ap2409's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in a clinic. We hired a pregnant LVN last year. She interviewed really well and had the right experience. She only stayed 3 months and quit, she wanted more flexible hours and we are mon-fri 8-5....

  13. Tattoos?

    bugya90 replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't have any tattoos, but most of my coworkers do. I'm one of those people that wants one but can never decide on what I want and am scared once I get it I wouldn't like it. Our facility policy is...

  14. No Senior Practicum?

    bugya90 replied to phiaflyy's topic in General Students

    The local program where I live stopped doing theirs. Our two local hospitals didn't want to do it anymore, I'm betting a student screwed up somewhere and it became too much of a liability because they...

  15. What sort of physical labour do nurses do?

    bugya90 replied to kater_92's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a clinic now so I don't do anywhere near the lifting that hospital or Nursing Home nurses do. However we don't have any lifting equipment and typically we are lifting a patient because they...

  16. Will I be looked down upon?

    bugya90 replied to GaJenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just some food for through for those who want to go on to be NPs. We have a new Family NP at my clinic. She did ICU for two years prior to going to grad school. Her student loans are $2000 per month...

  17. Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    bugya90 replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    Unless your former employer specifically told you to never step foot on campus again, I wouldn't even attempt to talk to your clinical coordinator. If you've been banned from the premises then they...

  18. Role of CNA

    bugya90 replied to gpmedsec's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was the same as you. My first job as a new LVN was the local LTC. Many of the CNAs were actually people I went to high school with which made it doubly hard to enforce the rules. What you have to...

  19. LPN school Orientation

    bugya90 replied to Bryana1028's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Basically it's boring. They will have you sign some forms for the school (legal stuff), tell you your schedule, perhaps let you know where your first clinical will be, maybe meet your first semester...

  20. Nursing license Texas

    bugya90 replied to darlene5's topic in General Nursing

    When you applied to Texas you had to fill out a spot on your application about any and all criminal history minus minor traffic violations. Were you honest on this section and did you disclose all...

  21. What was your first day like at clinical site?

    bugya90 replied to xdrowe's topic in General Students

    Our first "clinical" day we had to sit through the hospital's student orientation to go over HIPAA, appearance/dress code, sign some forms, etc and we got a tour of the main floors we would be...

  22. Baylor Pay-Is this a low offer?

    bugya90 replied to syt245's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not sure who this is too... I started out as a new grad in a small town nursing home making significantly more than what I make now as a clinic nurse with 5 years experience. However I have better...

  23. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    bugya90 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I make enough to cover my mortgage and bills. My husband makes decent money too so we are able to buy the expensive big ticket items every now and then but we both drive "normal" cars (Hyundai sonata...

  24. Am I right to be angry?

    bugya90 replied to Knytstar's topic in General Nursing

    In our EHR if no one ever removed those from the "active problem" list instructions print out every time for it. Which is great for HTN and DM, not so much for the the things

  25. Hours between shifts

    bugya90 replied to purplerose05's topic in PACU

    Your HR should be able to answer this. Also keep in mind that some states labor laws specify amount of time between shifts as well. If HR doesn't answer then look up your states labor laws. A quick...
