1. I was right...my preceptor was WRONG!

   LiliRN replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

   Well if it were me I'd probably keep quiet about the aspiration thing, but the reinjection thing is just bad nursing, I'd have told my instructor. That is dangerous and someone needs to make sure she knows she's doing something wrong and potentially ...

4. Advice needed on "accelerated nursing programs"

   LiliRN replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

   I dunno. We have the same type of program in AZ at NAU...but that was 16 months in class am from what I'm hearing the programm is a total bust. Administrators are complaining that nurses are coming out with not even the basic clinical knowledge and a...

5. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

   LiliRN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

   Did she not know that as a nurse there is a strong possibility that she may be working holidays? I figure this, why do I deem ONE day in the entire year to make important when I should really be making EVERY SINGLE DAY important to me and my childre...

6. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

   LiliRN replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't understand, maybe I'm not getting something. If the Dr. said clean him up and take him to his mother, why did you hold him for 4 hours? Why didnt' you just give him to the mom right after you cleaned him? Does it take 4 hours to clean a baby?

   LiliRN replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

   Yich no...off of a HOSPITAL floor? OMG...I can't imagine if I knew someone gave me anything off of a hospital floor....pillow cases, sheets, nasal cannulas...everything gets burned. Those floors are nasty.

8. 12 hr. shifts vs. 8 hr. shifts.

   LiliRN replied to jamerss's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I thought I would hate 12 hr. shifts but I just love them. Instead of breaking my day up, I know where I'm going to be for that whole day, and when I have more whole days off it makes me feel as though I'm spending more quality time w/ my family inst...

10. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

    LiliRN replied to following_faith's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, at my hospital CNA's make $10 (more acutally) and do all that stuff. LPNs do the exact same as RNs but push and give narcs. I'd say LPNs make around $16.

11. Nursing without license

    LiliRN replied to jansop's topic in General Nursing

    No no no no no. You can work as an MA or NA under a Dr. supervision, but never a nurse. Just like a Dr., you are a licensed professional and cannot represent yourself as such unless you really are.
