    Unprofessional Statement in Policy Book

    Pangea Reunited replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Is it in the actual policies or something less

    Short staffing incentive ideas???

    Pangea Reunited replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

    Serious question: Why would any per diem employee agree to be available for days or nights and any day of the week with no benefits? I just accepted a per diem job and the entire draw was being able...

    anyone know of any other jobs

    Pangea Reunited replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I get that nursing is tough, but you may be romanticizing other career choices a bit. I never got sued for neglect or bitten working as a hotel desk clerk, but I did get robbed at gunpoint and have a...

    Entitled Nurses?

    Pangea Reunited replied to SheriffLauren's topic in General Nursing

    You're very in tune with what other people think. Honestly, I hardly notice. And when they tell me directly, I hardly care. I even have trouble caring about things that do

    Nursing school prereq questions

    Pangea Reunited replied to nicurn96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, different programs have different requirements. What you need to do is look for information about the specific program(s) you're interested in. Most programs have an abundance of online...

    What are your experiences with Child Life Specialists?

    Pangea Reunited replied to desic737's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't rely on it as a primary source of income for the reasons you mention. It doesn't seem like a good educational investment, to

    Attending work class after shift?

    Pangea Reunited replied to haunani's topic in General Nursing

    Seeking RNs' input on a CNA job dilemma

    Pangea Reunited replied to inprocess's topic in General Nursing

    If the reunion was "previously arranged", that could have been discussed at your time of hire. July is a busy time for requests off (with a holiday weekend thrown in there, too), and as a new...

    What type of soap do you use?

    Pangea Reunited replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I use any vegetable glycerin soap (face and body). Right now I have a giant box of assorted ones from Crystal. Regular soap is too drying and moisturizing soap is too

    CRNA school chances after failing two first semester courses

    Pangea Reunited replied to .CJ.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Is it possible that you're getting too far ahead of yourself? If you had zero chance at CRNA school, would you continue on course with RN school or do something completely

    pregnant long hours

    Pangea Reunited replied to 00800's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea what state (or even country?) you're in, but I took medical leave pretty early into my pregnancy and was paid a fair percentage of my normal wages by the state along with PTO from my...

    international graduate, LVN but wanted to take nclex now

    Pangea Reunited replied to nursejashy's topic in Nurse Registration

    You'll be applying to an entirely different board (RN and LVN have separate governing agencies in CA) and will need to submit all requirements, again. Even as a graduate from Texas and holding a...

    Nursing in McAllen TX

    If you search for "McAllen" on this site, you won't see too many good things pop up. How desperate for experience are you? That's the

    I have a relative who's a neonatal NP, but she was an NICU RN for many years before

    LPN or RN

    Pangea Reunited replied to Lorna234558's topic in General Nursing

    Without information about cost, program hours/requirements, your odds of acceptance, the market in your area, or your personal circumstances, it's difficult to say. My first instinct is to go for the...

    Nursing Student at Oklahoma City University

    Pangea Reunited replied to madisonbennett's topic in School, College Programs

    In many cases, new graduates sign contracts agreeing to stay for a certain amount of time to secure employment. Hospitals don't want to spend the money and time training them, otherwise. To find a...

    Has anyone heard of this?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in General Nursing

    I think she has a good chance since she was very young and so much time has passed ....assuming she's stayed out of trouble since then. In any case, it's not the school's job to "mother" her. She's an...

    Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

    Pangea Reunited replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    One of my clinical instructors told me I should go to lunch because she, "didn't want to look at me". This was after I had to stumble out of a c-section because I was about to pass out. I did NOT like...

    Former ER & ICU RN Struggling With Tele Ratio

    Pangea Reunited replied to NotYourMamasRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my first job, I had 8 med/surg patients or 7 tele (plus an LVN with an equal number of patients to cover). And these were SICK patients. I never found a good way to do everything that needed to be...

    Do I need endorsement or new application? PLEASE ADVISE

    Pangea Reunited replied to anabellecyap's topic in Nurse Registration

    You don't "endorse your license" to another state, rather, you "apply by endorsement". In the end, you will have a Texas and a California license (assuming things go well!). If you have a Texas...

    Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Self-important people are obnoxious. I see this behavior with all types, though- not just nurses. I do find it embarrassing when it involves nurses, because I imagine some people will assume I feel...

    How is sepsis treated in a patient who is on comfort care only?

    Pangea Reunited replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    This varies a lot by region and facility. "Comfort care" in my first location was morphine, ativan and oxygen. Where I'm at now, it's antibiotics, other scheduled medications, a diet, and just about...

    "Due to health problems..."

    Pangea Reunited replied to Veigar3's topic in General Students

    It's definitely possible, although if you're not healthy enough to succeed in school you may not be healthy enough to do the job you're training for. I failed a clinical for being absent too many...

    How to be confident..?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    You won't have time to obsess so much if you're working as a floor nurse. And you won't find two people with time to check up on your obsessions, either. Problem solved! I used to look up IM...
