  1. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I personally wasn't concerned with concealing the identity, but I wasn't sure what about posting the link violated TOS- I wasn't sure if it was because of the name (the OP posted the link and it was...

  2. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just loved all the awful comments on the fb post too, especially the ones by the original poster. Such as the one where she states how she "LOVES" to write up and report nurses. I edited it so her...

  3. What does "Benefits Ineligible" mean? Good/Bad for New Grad RN?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to JPChi's topic in General Nursing

    When I was looking for a job I couldn't consider positions without benefits. I'm single and over the age of 26, so I needed a job that offers health insurance. If you can get health insurance through...

  4. The Right Decision

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Career

    I know the stress you are going through. I went through it with my previous career before switching to nursing. The great thing about nursing is the versatility (my other career didn't have that). I...

  5. Should I complete the program or shoud I leave?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to summer2000's topic in General Students

    I'm happy you are sticking with it! Like others have said, nursing and nursing school is a whole different world! There is nothing wrong with B's. As suggested, maybe you could get a prn cna position...

  6. Disciplinary hearing

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Goateedude's topic in General Nursing

    I made a comment on social media while in school about a specific lecture class. I wasn't rude, didn't say anything hateful, but just voiced being unhappy. Apparently a classmate didn't like it and I...

  7. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    As a night shift nurse I do a full assessment on my patient and then focused assessments. I may not be waking them up at 4am to get vitals or do an assessment if the providers say it is ok to skip and...

  8. Should I become an RN or OT?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    While an OT may not do life saving work, their work should def. not be discounted as it is extremely important for the patient's quality of life. Same for PT. A family friend is a retired OT who...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to emtpbill's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital has the IICU- intermediate critical care unit. It's a step down from ICU and is what some hospitals refer to as PCU (which as stated is frequently known as the Progressive Care

  10. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    I love my 2013 Ford Escape. I bought it right when the new redesign came out at the end of summer 2012. I've had it over 3 years now. It does really well in the snow and I feel safe in it. I was able...

  11. Hey nurses!!! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You took the initiative to do your job. There's a reason (at least my facility) why the CNAs and nurses don't change shift at the same time- it's to make sure there aren't gaps in patient care. You...

  12. Getting Bored!!!!!

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to nurseclh's topic in General Nursing

    Since when has it been up to a child about a move? If it is what is best for the family then you do it. I moved states at age 10 and 14 due to my father's job. Was I thrilled about the moves at the...

  13. Why don't they call back?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Raechel Frant's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Change your username if that is your real name. This is an open forum and those managers you want a call back from might see this post and not be happy/impressed by it. Also, I've been treated worse...

  14. Academic Probation

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to mw1815's topic in General Students

    Def. look into the Success series of books. I did an accelerated program and loved those books. Also, we used Elsevier (not sure what publishing/editing company your school uses), but we were able to...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to bjl56's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi everyone- Congrats to those that have been accepted! I'm a recent graduate of the program and I can honestly say I have no regrets. I know some people say awful things about the program, but...

  16. Your Patient

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Danielia95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. When to apply for job?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to kiers21's topic in General Students

    You need to contact the recruiting departments of hospitals/facilities in the area you will be moving to. Some may want you to wait until you have a license and others may not. They may also have...

  18. Husband just got into ASN program -- should he pursue it?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    Some of the nurse residency programs will let any nurse with less than 1 year of acute experience apply (so a new nurse working in a LTC facility is still eligible), but others may have restrictions....

  19. I hate group projects

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    I thankfully had pretty good experiences in nursing school because the instructors had such strict policies and deadlines, but in general I'm really not a fan because of some really horrid...

  20. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would like to point out that by giving a personal recommendation that person is putting their own hard earned reputation on the line. If someone writes a falsely positive letter and something...

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to RNinCali15's topic in General Nursing

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to vassarest05's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  24. Subjective vs. Objective

    AceOfHearts<3 replied to msoconnell's topic in General Students
