Nica-RN RN

Just a question for a better understanding: I can endorse from my state to any other state for endorsing my license there, I just have to meet the endorsement requirements, if not, I can't. Right? So what happens, if a complaint or even a penalty is ...

But if upon application my license is clear and later something is coming up? Do I need to report in any case? Or just on renewal and/or application?

Is there any possibility that we can as nurses get support or even have an own number to call regarding residents and their family members abusing us nurses by mistreating verbal and yelling? I feel threatened and psychological abused by a resident a...

Usually 14-16 residents with all commented issues above plus admissions. Newly, we are short, up to 26 residents. Not doable. I can understand your frustration, I feel the same especially when we are pushed to take a break even there is no time for i...

My last nursing job (pt, voluntary based in Germany) last until September last year when I moved to the US. Now I have my orientation day on Wednesday, after two interviews they are very interested to have me as an RN in a nursing home. This will be ...

We have to start the ABT as soon as we receive the order. And we'll get it from the EDK.

Up to 22 on the skilled nursing floor with admissions and all the orders, treatments, labs... I never left in time and I never was done. Cause this was just me and two CNAs. On the LTC floor now i have 28 residents and also two CNAs. Once getting use...

Does anybody have similar experiences or did I simply get the worst place for work? One nurse after another is leaving, some after just two or three weeks of employment, some did not even come back after the 1st day alone on a cart. Is this really no...

Just 20 minutes, but.... I change my working place in about a week to another facility where I have to drive at least 45 minutes!

Once I looked the keys in my cart, and nobody knew where the second keys are placed and also once I went home in my pocket with them. Had to bring them back immediately...

The place I work is the same, some cough, call the doctor and give an antibiotic. Up to 1/3 of my residents are currently under ABT. I have the same fear of developing a resistant with this much amount given, unfortunately in my facility is the trend...

I also leave my company with a very bad reputation and scenes you mentioned. I also gave my notice, but just two weeks and will stay until this is done. Anyway, congrats for a new job possibility and the decision you made.

In my facility, rehab area up to 22 patients and in LTC up to 28 residents. In my eyes are both not proper working assignments d/t the less time you have to recognize changes of condition properly. I think it is just luck that not much bad things hap...

How it is going.... part two: I became more and more confident with all documentation, did my treatments, wrote my paper stuff for admissions, passed meds, whatever... my morning nurse is a kind of b..., she blames everybody for doing nothing than he...

Congrats! A start is a start and you will grow and get better opportunities! Good luck!

I started in a nursing home in SW Florida in May. They changed the ownership at the facility and also the DON, the old one left and took three of the evening ft nurses with to her new job. That only have been my lucky moment. I am from Germany, worke...

Yesterday: - we have no supervisor nurse for weeks now in the evening, none in the morning for about 10 days - one admission, came in at around 5:30pm - had to send a lady out at around 11pm, my night shift disappeared cause he had not received repor...

How is it going.... After just two days of orientation I had to do all by my own. I bothered my colleagues, which a most often LPNs, with everything! Not enough with this, I ended at the skilled nursing floor where I also have to do a lot of treatmen...

I also prefer Koi even they are not cheap. Colors are beautiful and last. And they are available also in petite and tall.

Thank you for your thoughts and welcome me! Since we in Germany have a very other system doing care, it is helpful to get any hint. I appreciate the big chance I have. I know I am able to learn very quickly, but there are even what is allowed to a RN...

This is good to hear that you finally get a job!! Wish you all the best! Still, I don't think that I are able to apply for an internship due to my age, i think they prefer younger nurses. I can try, though. Good luck to you!

Yes, thank you very much, it did!!

I am a little bit confused by the lots of abbreviations, coming from Germany a nurse is a nurse, now they start also there to educate a bachelors degree. I am interested to know, which degree is higher? Diploma or ASN/ADN? I know that a bachelor is h...

Thanks to both of you. Unfortunately, my area is FL. I do not have any problems in learning, I learned just three months to pass the NCLEX. At once with just 75 questions. This should say enough about my learning ability. I can not move, we bought a ...

Honestly, I have two different translations of my nursing education, both from accredit US companies. One says I have a diploma in nursing. The other states that I have an ASN. Which one would you choose?? Honestly?
