    Cringe worthy follow up Note

    OrganizedChaos replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's what I was trying to get at. It seems as if the interviewee was just careless, sent a half assed thank you e-mail & that was that. I, like a previous poster, send hand written thank you...

    Cringe worthy follow up Note

    OrganizedChaos replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I send e-mails & such from my phone all the time. I typed this from my phone, it doesn't mean I had to have horrible grammar. I don't understand why people think just because they text or type on...

    New to home health

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Home Health

    Ahhh! Hahah. Well it is electronic documentation & I won't be overloaded with patients so that's good. I'm just nervous, it seems soo different. I don't want to mess any "paperwork" up or do...

    New to home health

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Home Health

    I just got a job doing home health & I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions. I've done PDN on & off for 3 years but never home health. So anything would be greatly appreciated!...

    Has the job market gotten better for new grads?

    OrganizedChaos replied to debi49's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't live by the Mexican border, I'm not THAT south. Lol. I live closer to San Antonio. Well the working conditions I've had have been fine, some were worse than others. LTC was LTC. I have loved...

    Nursing home pt catches on fire

    OrganizedChaos replied to LaRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I worked in nursing homes there was always someone outside with them, probably for THAT exact reason. Why did it take so long to respond? Why didn't they perform CPR? This is

    Would you go the traditional BSN route after LPN.

    OrganizedChaos replied to na-na's topic in LPN to RN

    I would rather but there isn't an online school I trust. I trust the community college I'm applying at to get my ADN. After I get my RN license & start working I can always get my BSN & have...

    OrganizedChaos replied to debi49's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My best friend just graduated from a BSN program & had an offer before she passed her NCLEX. She is moving to San Antonio. I am applying to an ADN program & I really don't have any fears for...

    Student Nurse with Epilepsy

    OrganizedChaos replied to mitsybitsy's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Keep going with school & don't let anything stop you! I have had epilepsy since I was a freshman in high school, I don't know what caused it. I am an LVN & even had a seizure at work once. I...

    OrganizedChaos replied to UCAFblue's topic in Texas Nursing

    The Spohn where I live is a lawsuit away from being shut down. Not too long ago a man was complaining of chest pain & the woman checking him in told him to sit down & wait. Next thing you know...

    Taking away chairs from nursing station

    OrganizedChaos replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I worked at a nursing home I saw my CNAs sitting when they had the chance. If administration thinks it's a good idea to be on our feet for 8-12+ hours then so should they. Because obviously they...

    What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    OrganizedChaos replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I called off once because of food poisoning. I thought I was going to be fine but then it ended up having vomiting & diarrhea so bad I had to go to the ER. I was in the ER for hours & tried to...

    OrganizedChaos replied to UCAFblue's topic in Texas Nursing

    You're welcome & that is true. Lol. I hope you get ahold of someone. Spohn down here is just notoriously bad & you can feel it when you walk in the hospital. Bay Area, that group, is much...

    Don't work at Spohn, they are terrible (in this area). They are reducing benefits & such. I'd apply at the other hospitals in the area. Good

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Private Duty

    I rarely call off, EVER. Especially since I'm PRN but I woke up with a splitting migraine this morning that felt like a chicken was hatching from my head. I didn't know if Excedrine would work or if I...

    Thank you both! She made me feel terrible. I can function on no sleep, sick, close to anything. But migraines kill. She must be lucky & not suffer from them & think "oh she just has a...

    Nurses aren't maids!

    OrganizedChaos replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    I have no problem with washing, cleaning & putting away the client's clothes but it ENDS there. I was always told to just clean up after my client & NOT the family. I am there to take care of...

    Health Insurance for nursing school?

    OrganizedChaos replied to PhillippaX50's topic in General Students

    I'm gonna need health insurance eventually because when I start nursing school I'll be 26 & won't be able to stay on my parent's insurance any more. I hope I can find a plan that is affordable...

    Why won't people stop nagging me about being an LPN and not an RN?

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

    I was told to go for my RN & not my LVN when I was applying to nursing school. But at the time I was confused & didn't know what I wanted to do or if nursing was for me. Three years later I do...

    I know how you feel, I created a thread about being fired/let go from a case. I'll sum it up. I'm on a new case, I got 2 hours of orientation. I'm not new to PDN, I've been doing it on & off for...
