    Is It Just Me?

    nursel56 replied to Mijourney's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've noticed it but most of them want to be an NP or a CRNA. The colleges are definitely pushing it and have stated so in their think tank committee reports. I'm just amazed at how much high...

    Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    nursel56 replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sadly, this is not true. In fact, I've seen people damaged more by that attitude because they feel like they are failing the cheering squad if they at some point stop going around and around, taking...

    Is magnet status hospitals shutting out all LVNs

    nursel56 replied to ladymaam's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hope Commuter won't mind my linking her articles again. Some people in this thread might find them helpful - as well as knowing the difference between assignment and delegation. LPNs: Myths and...

    CA NCLEX applicants with "concurrent" issues with CA licensed RN classmates.

    nursel56 replied to 2ndtakerimmigrant's topic in Immigration Advice

    Glad to hear you got that resolved. A responsive state government is in everyone's best interest. The Insurance Commission does a good job, too. It's kind of a shock when someone e-mails to assist...

    What higher authority are you referring to? That is not a criticism, it's a real

    Do you feel your agency is disorganized so you lose cases you need due to not being able to drop your life on a dime and zip over to see them? Time management tips to help you deal with the avalanche...

    Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    nursel56 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That would depend on whether you delicately turn the pages or lean over the magazine area munching on a bag of Doritos and loudly exclaim, "oh my God Jennifer Aniston got dumped again!" A surprising...

    "No nurses of color....."

    nursel56 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This. The way some people are talking it sounds like they think we have a supply cupboard with a nurse of whatever skin tone, ethnicity or cultural background coming right up! and no, I don't think...

    Fired for writing a nursing order?

    nursel56 replied to Nursynursemn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Best wishes to you! You sound like the kind of nurse who would be an asset to our state. If you should have need to pursue this further, here is a useful link to use as a starting point. The...

    Fired for writing a nursing order?

    nursel56 replied to Nursynursemn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You need to contact the board that governs LPN practice in the state you're working in. I doubt what you did was outside of your scope of practice, but maybe your facility policies, so they can fire...

    I'm thinking of moving to southern CA (6+ yrs. LPN/LVN experience)

    nursel56 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in California Nursing

    From what I understand the issue is "concurrency" with their theory and clinical cases for OB and perhaps other rotations as well. All of the questions are from people from the Phillipines, so I'm...

    I'm thinking of moving to southern CA (6+ yrs. LPN/LVN experience)

    nursel56 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in California Nursing

    Yep. There are multiple threads in the International Forum about exactly that situation. Some of them are really insulting toward LVNs, too. One guy wanted to sue the state of California over it....

    Still considered a new grad :(

    nursel56 replied to pkt00's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They don't consider you a new grad as most people understand it, because you probably wouldn't be eligible for an extended new grad orientation program. They consider you to not have recent experience...

    Am I being overly sensitive?

    nursel56 replied to mrsharris2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I question the integrity of her program, too. I don't question the truthfulness of her account. MrsHarris - I don't think you are too sensitive. You learn to separate yourself from your immediate...

    The Biggest Challenges of Peds?

    nursel56 replied to GinaCat's topic in Pediatric

    That sounds like a stressful job alright, yknurse. So often I wonder if what I do makes a difference - it sounds like in your case you already know you do, though the effects aren't immediately...

    I'm thinking of moving to southern CA (6+ yrs. LPN/LVN experience)

    nursel56 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in California Nursing

    There are many experienced LVNs (10 years and over) who can't find jobs in Southern California. Additionally, many foreign nurses who are being told their RN education is not to the standards of the...

    any friendly advice??

    nursel56 replied to TrishaDL's topic in General Nursing

    (just pulled part of your post here) No, there is no easy way to do that. Some families react rather angrily, and most will lay a gigantic guilt trip on you -- and in some ways I can't blame them....

    Are there really enough jobs???

    nursel56 replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree, SweetPEI. Sorry for my part in it, too. Online communication does set us up for misunderstandings. Peace.

    You made it about yourself when you falsely assumed I was calling you naive when I actually took pains to point out the positive aspects of your advice in an effort to avoid just the type of response...

    "No nurses of color....."

    nursel56 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The tone of your replies continues to exaggerate my words far beyond what I've said, is confrontational and frankly just reflects a lack of experience, as have several of your other statements about...

    Are there really enough jobs???

    nursel56 replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you have a contract it's not an example of selling yourself because you've already sold yourself. A contract that guarantees that a tech will be hired as a nurse and become a charge nurse in one...

    LPN keeping temper cool

    nursel56 replied to PMRlpn2011's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sounds like a real loose cannon or possibly a personality disorder of some kind. I would seriously reconsider working for someone who would bash their current staff to a new person during their...
