    Rn ratio rehab/nursing home

    Combined with Rehab, that's a big heck no from me! Never ever ever ever. Unfortunately, I do see

    Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    Orion81RN replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    A bit harsh, I think. I didn't view OP as complaining, but accepting of the situation and simply asking others of her faith how they do it. Anyway, OP: If you believe God is calling you to do...

    Very Low Gpa...Is there still hope?

    Orion81RN replied to Futurern2013's topic in General Students

    I did it. I failed out of so many classes at both NIU, which I was expelled from, and a community college. However, I moved to a different county where I then attended the community college there. Got...

    Car germs

    Orion81RN replied to Jo1212's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose you could put Chux down after each shift. I don't really think too much about microbes on the backside, though. The front, eh, ok, yeah. I strip as soon as I walk in my door. But not so much...

    Where are newer nurses still having difficulty finding a job?

    Orion81RN replied to klone's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Chicagoland. I can't even begin to count how many nursing programs there are around here, spitting out nurses every semester. There is always an exception, but without a BSN AND a few years of...

    Can you give a lesser dose than prescribed without an order?

    Orion81RN replied to Faith1234567's topic in General Nursing

    It's frustrating when people don't understand our scope of practice. Sometimes I want to tell doctors, "Trust me, I'm just as annoyed, if not more, at having to make this call as you are receiving...

    CNA TO RN

    Orion81RN replied to NurseMc2020's topic in General Students

    I would check into seeing if the nursing program allows you to sit for the state CNA test after the first semester or first class. (However they do it.) I was already a CNA for a couple years before...

    Orion81RN replied to muggs's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yes! It was a bit of a hassle but I got it done and then was allowed to sit for the boards. I had an arrest for a very dumb reason and it was dismissed right away in court. If anyone is interested,...

    Nurses' Week - Upended.

    Orion81RN replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses who are left out end up feeling worse, and the nurses who are shown appreciation, are probably shown appreciation throughout the year. Such as management saying, "I know it's been a...

    When is the best time for blood transfusion?

    Orion81RN replied to Davia's topic in General Nursing

    I stand by my statement, then. You are simply wanting to hear that you are right considering you just answered your own question. You were not genuinely asking how long one should wait to transfuse....

    When is the best time for blood transfusion?

    Orion81RN replied to Davia's topic in General Nursing
