    Student nurses with disabilities

    OrganizedChaos replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    None of the PP were being rude or "eating their young" (I hate that term!). It's a public forum & everyone has their own opinion & as long as they follow the forum rules they can post what...

    activities assistant?

    OrganizedChaos replied to clamtown's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Are there any other jobs you can work in with your RN degree that don't require physical labor like doctor's office? I live in the states so people can become an activities assistant at a community...

    activities assistant?

    OrganizedChaos replied to clamtown's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To my knowledge you do not need to be an RN to be an activities director & I'm pretty sure you can get certified as one online or at a community college. Why are you working as one when you are an...

    43% or Higher on TEAS

    Good gracious that's low. I'm sure you could pass it without even studying. I got into my LVN program without studying for the TEAS & the program requirement was much hire than

    ixchel's 3/7/16 What Have I Learned This Week, with A Lil' Help From My Friends!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that all PDN agencies are the same, they just want warm bodies there to fill a spot. Also I feel being an LVN sucks sometimes. All the jobs I want are reserved for RNs & I kick myself...

    OrganizedChaos replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Part of me is glad I left. I know it isn't kosher to leave without giving notice. I always have before but with how everyone was treating me, I was just so tired of being walked on when *I* brought...

    Is this Patient Abandonment?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I was working PDN. I called in sick with the flu on Thursday & the mom got pissed with me. I was suppose to work today 7:30-3:30 but that didn't happen. The DON called me & wanted me to work...

    Is this Patient Abandonment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, that is exactly how it went down. I was not in the middle of a shift, I had just agreed to work a shift. I knew deep down it wasn't patient abandonment but I didn't want to get into it with my...

    OrganizedChaos replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I relearned that the parents on PDN cases can be fickle *******. Only the nurses that get kept are the ones that kiss ass. I don't kiss anyone's ass so the parents kick me to the curb. Anyone

    Resigning from my 1st nursing job. Please help me!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Fayevalentine's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with the PP. I wouldn't quit unless you have another job. Especially since you've been at the job for such a short period of time. Start job hunting, get a job & then

    When to report?

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Private Duty

    So I'm working a case & the parents seem to me, very entitled. They want us (the nurses) to do everything. I'll do anything for the our patient but anything else? Hell no. The mother doesn't work...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Private Duty

    I don't know. I told her we are mandated reporters & she really should report all of what she has seen to CPS. I guess she is afraid of retaliation from the mom since the mom would know it could...
