    OrganizedChaos replied to naikosbripad's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. If that's how much the RNs get paid I can't imagine the other staff (LVNs, CNAs, techs, etc). I have never made less than $18/hr as an

    Resigning

    OrganizedChaos replied to Sinah's topic in Nursing Career

    I quit via e-mail. I worked at a detention center that housed over 1,000 detainees. It was soo stressful. The nurses were given soo much work that the other staff could do. On top of that I got...

    Did I Make the Right Decision?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I got a new job over a month ago, then found out I was pregnant (it was not planned). I was out for 2 weeks after & haven't been the most reliable employee. I went to the ED twice so far for...

    HELP! Failed NCLEX-RN 6 times!

    OrganizedChaos replied to hmctaa0511's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have to side with the people who are saying go a different direction. Yes you passed nursing school but the NCLEX is a huge mountain compared to nursing school. Maybe you should become an EMT or...

    OrganizedChaos replied to catebsn25's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well it seems like she will be in trouble no matter what happens. It sucks but she shouldn't have smoked weed. They could've randomly drug tested her if this never happened. I just hope for your...

    Commute to school.

    OrganizedChaos replied to LPNDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was in nursing school I lived in the same town (5 minute drive). But then I moved at the end & it was 30-40 minutes. I knew people coming from the valley, which I believe is over an hour or...

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

    OrganizedChaos replied to sunshyne17's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There are going to be problems no matter what job or field you're in. When people with different personalities get together it can be fine or like a bomb went off. I know LTC is stressful enough &...

    For all you LPN/LVN's out there, was it hard to find a job after graduation?

    OrganizedChaos replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    After I took the NCLEX 4 years ago it didn't take long to find a job. Most of my classmates got jobs in LTC. I did the same & also did PDN. Those two areas seem to hire anyone who walks through...

    Scared to go into nursing.

    OrganizedChaos replied to cascadingbeauty's topic in General Students

    I would say go for the teaching degree, unless nursing is really your passion. It is so hard to find a job right now in nursing you'd probably be able to get as a teacher much

    Finding significant other in nursing school

    Please give advice!

    OrganizedChaos replied to LisaLPN7's topic in Correctional

    If your boss & CO's aren't helped call rank (ie: Sgt., Lt, etc.). If that doesn't work leave. There's always a riff between corrections & medical. Good

    Funny Mistakes

    OrganizedChaos replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    When I worked PDN I would some times try to give the medication via gtube when it was still clamped. The medication would come shooting back at me.
