  1. Compensation fair or not?

    LilyRN99 replied to feelix's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi, I don't have any online teaching experience but I would think there would be advantages to that job over face to face teaching. You may not need to lecture which would save a ton of time. I took...

  2. Nurse residency

    LilyRN99 replied to oobi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There is so much to learn on the job and a residency would be very valuable. I wish they had them when I graduated nursing school. Do and learn as much as you can while you are being supervised and...

    LilyRN99 replied to kristen5500's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  10. Struggling to find right fit, need help

    LilyRN99 replied to Jomsn2017's topic in General Specialties

    I tried hospital nursing and it was too stressful for my taste. I worked in a skilled facility. The Long term care unit was just a long med pass. I now work as a pediatric private duty nurse 3 days...

  12. Just Asking For Advice

    LilyRN99 replied to NurseC1986's topic in General Nursing

    I think management would be more willing to do something about the issue if family members complain about that nurse. Maybe encourage the families to talk to management about any concerns they have....

  13. Do I have the right refuse this client?

    LilyRN99 replied to NurseKay13's topic in Private Duty

    Don't these issues put the patient at risk for disease and injury? Seems like it should be reported to a higher agency then. Who is responsible for the patient when no nurse is present. Or the...

  14. Order for Assessment?

    LilyRN99 replied to James613's topic in Private Duty

    I haven't ever been required to check a pediatric BP in the 5 years of private duty nursing I've done. If needed, I would lthink there would be one in the home. How would the parents assess the BP...

  15. Refusing a case in home care

    LilyRN99 replied to Katesp91's topic in Private Duty

    You I have the the right to turn down a case. I can see the agency being annoyed if it is one of the first cases they offered you. But you should only work where you feel comfortable. It's not worth...

  16. Does your agency still use paper charting?

    LilyRN99 replied to Crystal-Wings's topic in Private Duty

    Yes. It's not bad. It's a check list by system and then short narrative. All documentation in the patient's home is on paper. The nurse supervisor creates the 485 and MAR on a computer in the office....

  17. New grad, peds cardiac, so lost

    LilyRN99 replied to stacylethani's topic in Pediatric

    Those are normal feelings. Ask a lot of questions and look up diagnosis at home. Write down things as you learn them because you won't remember everything since you are learning so much. And since...

    LilyRN99 replied to MackenzieG707's topic in Pediatric

  20. Medication administration confusion???

    LilyRN99 replied to Mike DBD's topic in General Nursing

    How do you know the nurse labeled it correctly? The pharmacy prints out a label and has computer checks to verify if it is an acceptable dose and such. The unnamed nurse would have no responsibility...

  21. Medication administration confusion???

    LilyRN99 replied to Mike DBD's topic in General Nursing

  22. Should I stay at a community college?

    LilyRN99 replied to dgcruz's topic in General Students

    I don't think LPN programs give you a degree. I got an associate's degree with an RN at my community college. Then a lot of those classes helped me toward my BSN. The LPN school near me is over...

  25. CNS vs MSN in Education for educator roles

    LilyRN99 replied to WestCoastSunRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have heard you can teach with a APN degree but you can't be a APN with a masters in education. I think the APN track would make more career options
