  2. A fellow nursing school graduate was not hired as an RN where she currently works as an LNA. They told her once she passes her boards she cannot work there anymore. However, the few of us that did get hired to start as RNs in September are working as...
  3. Babysitting doctors?!

    Readers beware this is a rant. So I had 4 out of 5 pts today who required alot of intervention. I don't mind but I felt that a couple of times my concerns fell on deaf ears. This made me feel like I was over reacting, after all if the Doc wasn't conc...
  4. Diversion- what are we missing?

    I too have seen people escorted out without follow up. I feel the same way you do, we just dump the nurse with addiction on the street and say have a nice day. The particular nurse I know of has had jobs at 3 other hospitals since termination from ou...

  10. I was involved in the NLN accreditation for my school this year. It is a very lengthy process. You need your director to want to put into writing how they meet the requirements of the NLN. The finished product was about 3 inches thick at my school. T...
  11. This is what I heard too. Ofcourse I do not want to make waves because I was just hired into the residency program and is was very tough to get into. They hired 15 out of 150. If any one finds "official" info please let me know so that I may be able ...
  12. She needs to continue working as an LNA because the residency position at the hospital that she DID get a job at does not start until the middle of July. She cannot afford to lose income for a month. I guess I am just curious if this is a BON issue o...
  13. When nursing students are mean to each other...

    I had a similar incident with a girl in my class. I ignored her when I could and only discussed pertinent tpics with her when necessary. She had told a group of LPN tranfer students that I was a "mole" and to not trust me amongst other things. By the...
  14. Flunked!!!

    A girl flunked out of the program I was in and is getting her RN online with Excelsior College. Maybe your friend could look into thier program to make her dreams a reality. Good Luck!
  15. New grads....where do you work?

    As a new grad at my hospital we are required to orient in all depts with the exception of ICU, OR, & the ED for 4 months. I am really unsure which area I will choose.
  16. Anyone else waiting until they pass boards...

    Many hospital will pay for NCLEX reviews if you get a job with them before you take your boards. This was why I decided to apply for a job before I took boards.
  17. Venipuncture in LPN school?

    It says you are from beantown (Boston). I live just North in Nashua, NH. In our area they do not include venipuncture in the program. They will teach you this skill at the place of your employment as a LPN if they require you to perform venipunture. ...

    Yes this is true but I have only heard of one hospital in NH who will hire GNs. Most of us have jobs contingent on passing boards. I take mine in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! Congrats to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. Need RN salary information in NH

    This year Southern NH Med Center in Nashua NH is starting new grads at $23.50 and St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua is starting them at $22.00. These are accurate for this year only as the two tend to try to one up one another.
  20. Just thought I would be generous and help you out a little. At orientation you will be given the opportunity to take a med math test. If you pass it with above a 90% you will not have to take it again! If they haven't changed the policy you will have...
  21. Incoming freshman NHCTC-Nashua

    They change the exams every year (supposedly) and they are very strict about exams now that the class of 2006 stole some exams last year. I bought a nursing drug calculations book w/ CD-Rom tutorial. It taught me fractions all the way to gtts/min. Th...

    I have spoken to the reps a few times. They suggest that you focus your studying on topics that you score

  24. Case Study Help!!!!

    I was assigned to do a case study on any patient I had in clinical. Unfortunately/fortunately I attended the NSNA mid-year conference and had not had a patient. I explained this to my instructor and she said she would take it into consideration when ...
