    LVNs going extinct? MAs taking over?

    nursel56 replied to kristakay7's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is no war here with MAs. MAs don't post very often in this forum. I figured the CNAs here would respond as they did,

    Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    nursel56 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The study you most often hear referred to as "landmark" by BSN entry-to-practice advocates is this one: Educational Levels of Hospital Nurses and Surgical Patient Mortality I think people get the...

    Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    nursel56 replied to dance4life's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hospitals will always act in the best interest of profit. When the ANA launched the BSN in 10 movement they picked four states they thought would be a pushover - Oregon, Montana, Maine and North...

    Do your classmates really care?

    nursel56 replied to do-over at 40's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The only part of your experience that is uncommon is that the instructors would allow homework and class attendance to be optional. A school that operates that way would have a hard time meeting...

    Patients who can do ADLs but want nurses to

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

    Hoping it all works out for you, imintrouble. I wouldn't have done it, either. It's upsetting that "customer service" would ever extend to something like

    Get even or wait for karma to come back around

    nursel56 replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would probably want to make sure that the record didn't reflect her inaccurate account of what actually happened because it could come back and bite you in the butt. I totally get the feeling of...

    50 Minute drive to work.... would you take it?

    nursel56 replied to Encast's topic in Nursing Career

    A commute of 50 minutes isn't unusual in the city I live in and a number of my previous jobs have been 45-50 minute drive times. It's another factor to include in the risk-benefit analysis process....

    why do good students get beaten down in nursing school

    nursel56 replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    In addition to the great advice from everyone else here, I found, especially after clinicals started that pointing out a strength or talent your classmate has helps build a more supportive atmosphere....

    co worker sharing her concerns

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

    Was the tattle-tale in the meeting with you? If not it might help to have them included. Otherwise I do think you need to let it go. The doctor apologized for being rude, your supervisor apologized...

    Stopped at a car accident and patient died in my arms

    nursel56 replied to LisaNICUrn's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't affected by the wound or the blood because you connected with him as a person. It's good to talk about it. I'm feeling teary just thinking about it (((hugs))) to you. I'd like to...

    First case - infant with g-tube

    nursel56 replied to notyetnurse's topic in Private Duty

    Hi Heather, I know I'm late to this discussion but thought I'd throw my thoughts in anyway as I know that agencies can sometimes place the value of a staffing flow sheet with no holes in it over the...

    Neglect? What would you do?

    nursel56 replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    Curious to hear what happened as a result of the OP reporting this family to CPS. Hoping KATRN78 will give us an update, hoping it turned out for the best for all

    Is PDN really better than working in a facility?

    nursel56 replied to smartypantsnurse's topic in Private Duty

    I can totally understand your feelings about this, especially as a new grad. I would probably keep that job but look for something that will challenge you and give you a chance to work on a more...

    Homophobic nurse?

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

    I'm so sorry that happened to you. I find it very concerning that it appears her judgement about you and your partner jumped the track from a display of verbal hostility into the intentional...

    Should you become a nurse if....

    nursel56 replied to MaybeaNurse7's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, you can be a nurse if you are naturally an introvert. You need to learn how to communicate with your patient effectively but that does not mean you must be the extrovert, bubbly type . . . In my...

    Can someone please give me some advice, some direction. I feel like a failure.

    nursel56 replied to snazzy-jazzy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for the update! I've always felt every job is of value from the standpoint of what you learn that you can take with you going forward. I couldn't work with that type because I was on pins and...

    Does nursing change you into an angry person?

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

    No, but I've worked in a pretty wide variety of environments, so I never had that endless wearing away at your soul sort of feeling that can happen when you stay in a job that has long since lost it's...

    Neglect? What would you do?

    nursel56 replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    nursel56 replied to Virtual's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the idea is to dramatize symptoms so that your classmates are able to identify the endocrine disorder they are associated with you'd have a lot of leeway to be creative with it. If the idea is to...
