    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    Julius Seizure replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough. I didn't mean to imply that you were out of line, by the way. I don't think you

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

    Julius Seizure replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Would you mind expanding on this a little bit? What benefits in particular are you referring to? I don't aim to disagree, I just am interested in hearing more of what you are

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

    Julius Seizure replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As a pediatric nurse, the mention of Akron Children's Hospital piqued my interest, and when you included references I wanted to look into it more. The link didn't work, but I was able to find the LPN...

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

    Julius Seizure replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think the previous poster was just talking about "some" hospitals, not "all" hospitals. Your hospital may function differently, and that's fine. Both of you can be correct

    Julius Seizure replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in News, Announcements

    I am pretty excited about the changes except for two things: 1) I now only have one "like". ? 2) My one "like" appears to be what was once the "cheer" that I received back in 2016. So now I have no...

    How do you take blood pressures for 90 people?

    Julius Seizure replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    Yes! If you DO choose to pursue nursing, find the least expensive route to an RN degree, seek out scholarships, and pay as you go. Don't touch that retirement savings...especially not in your 40s...

    Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    You shouldn't need to do double the amount of charting. Half of your charting will be on one patient, and half on the other...but total amount shouldn't be

    Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    Julius Seizure replied to Anon143's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work as a float nurse. There were more than a few shifts where I would visit a new floor every four hours (three floors in a 12 hour shift). I realize that, being in a float role, I had...

    Julius Seizure replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My mom insisted that I go through classes to become a "member" of the church ONLY so that I would be eligible for $500 in college scholarship money. I wasn't so much against being a part of the church...

    So the dilemma is: Call out during orientation, possibly upsetting management at a job that you are intending to leave ASAP. OR Risk getting into a car accident and/or harming a patient due to being...

    Julius Seizure replied to Triddin's topic in Nursing News

    This came to my mind as well. If this nurse was not familiar with vecuronium OR Versed, then a lot of these other checks don't come into play (without looking up the med, of course). Vec is a powder...

    Snowflakes

    Julius Seizure replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I work with someone who I guess could also be considered a snowflake, based on the definition that Davey provided. He is kind of pushing the millennial age range bracket, though...he's in his 60s....
