    ADN at community college , how does it work?

    Pangea Reunited replied to nancy18.1987's topic in General Nursing

    They have quite a bit of information on their website. Start here: Nursing | Wake Technical Community College I'm guessing the mandatory information session for nursing will fill in a lot of your...

    My father's health information

    Pangea Reunited replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    It's a legitimate question. The OP is estranged from her father, hasn't seen the actual report and has only second-hand knowledge regarding how it was obtained. She doesn't even know the supposed...

    being a home health nurse if you have allergies and asthma?

    Pangea Reunited replied to hmlawrence0729's topic in Home Health

    I can only imagine the houses of patients who get discharged with home health. It's a scary

    Medical leave and travel

    Pangea Reunited replied to dma13's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't ask. Medical leave just means that you are unable to preform the functions of your job, not that you're bed bound and under house

    LPN or Medical Assistant and Why?

    Pangea Reunited replied to UIHCPNA's topic in Nursing Career

    Medical assistant can be a "dead end" when it comes to education. LVNs can take bridge programs to become RNs. RN's can move from an associate's degree to a bachelor's to a master's or even become...

    Collaborating physician: what means for the NP in Texas?

    Pangea Reunited replied to Gerdy's topic in General Nursing

    Although I sympathize, this might not be the best thing to have floating around while you seek alternate

    Shadowing on First Day of On-Floor Training

    Pangea Reunited replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's common ...especially for new graduates. As far as what you can expect to do, that depends on you and the nurse you're paired with. You typically won't have your own patients, but I doubt...

    NEWGRADS: non-RN job with active RN license YAY or NAY?

    Pangea Reunited replied to 1357's topic in General Nursing

    The employer knows you're going to take off running as soon as you find a nursing job, so you're unlikely to be considered for any other position. The only time I've seen nurses working as unit clerks...

    MSN,BSN AND RN

    Pangea Reunited replied to stillthere?'s topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't consider MSN at this point. As for the ADN verses BSN, that depends largely on the market where you're located and what kind of schools we're talking about (private and $$$ verses public...

    Horrible night

    Pangea Reunited replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I would call the doctor and see if her pain medication could be changed or increased in dose/frequency. It sounds like almost all of her calls revolved around pain and discomfort. If the doctor says...

    Nursing School

    Pangea Reunited replied to Mjs011096's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could look into other programs and what their requirements are. You could also look into becoming an LVN, then taking an LVN to RN bridge

    Pangea Reunited replied to strongenough's topic in General Nursing

    Nooooo. I can't imagine anyone I work with who would be willing to do that. I certainly

    Priority scenarios

    Pangea Reunited replied to miamiheatrn's topic in General Nursing

    Are you actually a nurse, as your credentials state? I'm far from the most experienced nurse, but those are somewhat basic questions that any nurse should be able to easily

    can you get into nurse practioner school if you have a reprimand on your nursing license

    Pangea Reunited replied to 2012murse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm having trouble understanding why you would want to invest money in NP school- even if you do find one that will accept you. If you're having so much trouble finding work as a nurse at your current...

    Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    Pangea Reunited replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I am a little envious of the ones who are motivated to keep going back to school. I am easily content, and it's some sort of miracle that I even manged to get an associate's

    Unprofessional charting

    Pangea Reunited replied to Nurse131382's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ...doesn't sound great, but I don't think I would make an issue of it if it's under the charter's name. I work with some nurses who chart like they're drunk

    How can we track when bed alarms are activated??

    Pangea Reunited replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    It's a good idea to round immediately at the start of a shift and make sure all bed alarms are on. That being said, someone can come in right behind you and turn it off. And even if the alarm is on...

    Some nurses have PTSD symptoms

    Pangea Reunited replied to db2xs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That's a real "special snowflake" thing for the writer to point out. If I'm being honest, I find it irritating. Some nurses also gain weight, but they don't have
