  1. Charting question..

    vivibonita replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    . :doh: (jk)I hope you get the job... the way you are feeling is the way I always feel when i come out of interviews... it's hard to do well on them when you have failed "reading minds 101" lol.....

  3. How My Instructor Affected My Life

    vivibonita replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Students

    I think that those of us who've had bad instructors should pat ourselves on the back. Nursing is tough, but trying to learn on a tougher environment created by the person who should be there to teach...

    vivibonita replied to shybaby09's topic in International Nursing

    yikes! hold your horses... where are you? I'm a little confused here, and I won't be able to offer any advise. Please call the CA BRN and explain your situation... they should be able to enlighten...

  5. I am sorry

    vivibonita replied to patrick1rn's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that sometimes saying sorry is a way to calm an agitated pt or family member, it is also our way as compasionate beings to show sympathy for what the other person is going through... most...

  7. Abbreviations

    vivibonita posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been reading the forum quite a lot lately... and I'm amazed at the amount of abbreviations some of us tend to use while posting a new thread or responding to one. In all honesty, I dont' know...

  8. Abbreviations

    I'm sorry but there are some abbreviations that are used here that can't even be found on google... is like you are reading a good post and all of a sudden you lose the train of thought because one...

  9. Ok, I just about hate Ltc now!

    vivibonita replied to Sassy5d's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  10. Patient Rights?

    vivibonita replied to HCINEPT's topic in Emergency

    I agree with everybody who has replied here. I must be honest and say that the title of this thread was misleading, I believe the MD gave advice, maybe not the one the pt wanted to hear but advice...

  11. On-Set Movie Nursing Jobs

    vivibonita replied to Hobie4's topic in General Nursing

    I've only known of movie sets hiring paramedics but not nurses. I think the only thing they worry about in a set is the actor or extra being on a life threatening situation. Besides if something like...

  13. Insurance?

    vivibonita replied to LJ85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    vivibonita replied to natrgrrl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with TheCommuter... consider yourself lucky with 3 days of orientation. I only had two, and believe me...once you are cut loose you feel like you didn't learn anything. One thing that I...

  15. An issue of Disrepect

    vivibonita replied to tearose2750's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a fairly new LVN, and have gotten the same kind of disrespect at the LTC facility I work at... and the funny thing is that it comes from othre, more experienced LVNs, or LVNs that couldn't pass...

  16. If your afraid of killing someone, should you not pursue nursing?

    vivibonita replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

  18. Charting question..

    vivibonita replied to vivibonita's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have looked at my coworkers' charting and it sounds exactly the same as what I put on the opening post. I just dont want my charting to sound SO repetitive, and/or the same as my coworkers. This is...

  19. Charting question..

    vivibonita replied to vivibonita's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I see what you say Striver and I was also taugt the same thing, but this is first a different setting and a different situation. And there's where my confusion comes. All these things we are taught...

    vivibonita replied to margiesan's topic in First Year After Licensure

  23. AM care?

    vivibonita replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I must agree with the last two posters... When I was in nursing school I felt really bad for the aides, but they would tell me that after getting the AM care done they were free to help with other...

    vivibonita replied to CaLVN530's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The State testing fee and the pearson testing center fee should be include under one fee. When I took my NCLEX, it was only one $200 fee... the rest sounds accurate. Did you get the letter from the...
