    Itt tech-Breckinridge possible shutdown

    NurseGirl525 replied to Momma2bubba's topic in School, College Programs

    You will have to start over. I'm sorry, but you will. This is why it is important you research your school. Going to a for profit commercial school may seem like the easiest, quickest, way to become...

    In need of a new LPN program. My current school is closing.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jennid77's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Im just going to say this, most students at Ivy Tech are older. Don't your age as a crutch. You will need to compete in any program that is reputable. Work hard. Get

    In need of a new LPN program. My current school is closing.

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jennid77's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    MedTech is the worst. They are nothing but a scam. I'm sorry you got scammed. Harrison is just like them. They are also a for profit commercial college. That's why they are coming to "recruit"...

    Anxious about job market

    NurseGirl525 replied to julesjameson3333's topic in General Nursing

    Every person in my cohort had a job upon graduation. We had people who had no problems finding jobs all over the country. Some in big metro areas. By 2025, I'm sure you would have a graduated a...

    What is considered "job hopping?"

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on why you are leaving jobs. If it's with well respected employers, you may look that way. It costs a company a lot of money to train a new employee. That's why it is viewed negatively....

    NurseGirl525 replied to Zerocks's topic in General Nursing

    Please get help. If you are feeling suicidal, call a suicide helpline tonight. Saying you hope to not wake up is very concerning to me. Just know, you will see vomit as a nurse. I'm sorry you have...

    Unconventional hair colors

    NurseGirl525 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, everybody pretty much gets carded these days. Even 80 year old women. It's a policy many places have in place so people don't have to differentiate. So, that card doesn't really work...

    NurseGirl525 replied to briannakyle124's topic in General Nursing

    No no dentist I have ever been to has tried to sell me anything. Maybe you've been in the wrong places. I've always had awesome dentists. The hygienists have always just cleaned and checked my...

    Do you get paid to stay late and chart?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I would suck on your unit. I'm still new, but I often have to stay over to chart. My day is just to darn busy and stuff happens. I've never had a talking to with

    Do you get paid to stay late and chart?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    It's illegal to work off the clock. Also, your employer should not want you to as it is a huge liability for them should you get injured. If you get injured while working off the clock, workmans...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    NurseGirl525 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    I have not been an icu nurse for six years. I did not say that. Yes, I have seen autopsy and procurement. Saying you are misinformed is not questioning your intelligence, it's saying you don't...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    NurseGirl525 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    The state does not run organ donation here. I never said that. I was clarifying the difference in regulations of nurses approaching from state to state. I'm not allowed to approach in my state....

    Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    NurseGirl525 replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess you can let this person rule your life at work, or choose not to. I bet if they are that are in happy at work, they are that unhappy at home. Can you imagine having to live like that? Not...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Alyx C's topic in Government, Military

    I'm asking this out of true interest, nothing more. I promise. Is there something wrong with the Phillipinnes? I see so many people from there wanting to come to the US. I will admit I am very...

    What numerous "meetings" are you talking about? Our organ team follows behind the scenes. They don't at all approach until the decision to wean has been made. I'm very

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    NurseGirl525 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    I have not read this whole thread, but I honestly don't think you understand the process of organ donation. My unit calls our organ network when any patient reaches a certain test threshold. They...

    how to pick a stethoscope

    NurseGirl525 replied to Saraliz's topic in General Students

    Definitely not the double tube. Single tube. The sounds are heard better. They aren't spilt into two tubes. I bought the Littman cardiology. I loved it in school and I love it now. When you don't...

    Places actually lock up foleys? Wow. We don't scan anything but meds. And I think the scanning of meds is simply to make sure they are administered properly. That would be so time consuming to...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Scared_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    How would you contract it? Because you were in the same room? You didn't needlestick yourself. You got cut on a piece of glass. Unless the patient's blood was on that piece of broken glass, you...

    Actually, I have found quite the opposite. Maybe it's your part of the country or something, but here, nurses are respected. I've found in my hospital, the doctors respect us, and listen to our...
