    OrganizedChaos replied to maryray's topic in General Nursing

    I was dx with epilepsy in high school. After I became an LVN I worked nights doing PDN, I was ok. What really pushed me over the edge when I was working at a county jail, working every shift they...

    OrganizedChaos replied to stefibox's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I failed my first time, but I admit it was my fault. I already started prereqs for the bridge program & was so concerned with them that I forgot the ATT only lasted so long. So I just signed up...

    Not sure if to switch to RN or finish my LPN and then go to RN

    OrganizedChaos replied to moehenkels's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't live in MN but I am a current LVN & if I had that opportunity I would jump on it. I don't regret becoming a nurse, I love it. I wish I got my RN because it would've opened so many doors...

    Not the residents, not the work - It's THE STAFF!

    OrganizedChaos replied to sunshyne17's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I found the most drama is in LTC. Between the work load, resident's family or management it's never a good time. I've worked in many nursing homes & it's all the same. I worked in one (for a...

    OrganizedChaos replied to KonaDog05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not an RN but I would try to find another place to work. I know the job market sucks right now but to have a boss like that sounds miserable. Why let someone control your life. I am lucky &...

    Hepatitis scare Arizona Prison

    OrganizedChaos replied to mursejohn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I meant the whole process, blood sugar check & all. I should've been more clear. How did she get the blood for the checks using an insulin needle? I would imagine she would have to stab them...

    OrganizedChaos replied to mursejohn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What was she thinking! That is unbelievable!!! She went to school TWICE! She should know how to give insulin properly. I can't think of any reason why that would be ok. I've worked corrections before...

    OrganizedChaos replied to laurenp_rn's topic in Psychiatric

    Where I work is mainly chemical dependency but there are a LOT of psych issues & sometimes functions to help both. We don't allow under wires at all, only sports bras. I also believe anything with...

    telling your employer your pregnant after being hired

    OrganizedChaos replied to micheala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You'll need to disclose to your employer that you are pregnant. I got pregnant at a new job. I told my boss immediately only because there are complications (I have epilepsy). The pregnancy was...

    OrganizedChaos replied to minniemickey23's topic in Nursing Career

    I will always choose days. When my boyfriend was working nights we drifted apart since he was never awake when I was, so we couldn't do much together. On top of that, like other posters said, you will...

    OrganizedChaos replied to emmygirle's topic in General Nursing

    When I went to school it stated we had to cover up visible tattoos & take out piercings that are anywhere else but the ear. The only jobs I had that didn't make me cover up tattoos or take out...
