  1. Charge Nurse?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No, one RN per unit, 2 units per floor, 7

  2. How can I be more competitive in the job market?

    EmpathyInAction replied to DorothyR's topic in General Nursing

    Aside from making contacts: 1) Make sure your resume is up to par! If it is plain, poorly organied, poorly written or does not properly highlight you/ your skills, then you are doomed before you...

  3. Charge Nurse?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's a really good facility from everything I know (word of mouth, accounts of individuals I know whom have worked there, etc.). However I'm still in the beginning of the mandatory orientation for...

  4. Going Back to Paper

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    It is a LTC facility and they are preparing to transfer to PCC. They've already switched over a little but I believe it is only notes and care plans. That is a great idea about the charting pages, of...

  5. Going Back to Paper

    EmpathyInAction posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I did paper years ago as an STNA, but all my nursing school experience I used electronic (Epic). The facility I am being hired at is still doing paper charting. I feel nervous and apprehensive. I...

  6. Charge Nurse?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's a small, private exclusive nursing home. The RN policy/procedure manual I looked at today basically just says the charge must be an licensed RN. I'm orienting here and there was a comment made in...

  7. Licensed in multiple states?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in General Nursing

    I did not know I could search. Also helpful to know! Thanks

  8. Licensed in multiple states?

    EmpathyInAction posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am signed up for my NCLEX through OH, but I live right on the border between OH and KY. I am actively searching for a job as I am taking my NCLEX on the 19th. Today it occured to me that it would...

  9. Licensed in multiple states?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very much for the information! I looked up KYBON after I posted this and did see they offer a compact license. However it also states that it does not allow me to work in states that do not...

  10. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    EmpathyInAction replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's partially a matter of perspective. Personally I've been living far below the poverty line for a LONG time and have never earned more than 18k in a year. I have struggled sacrificed and...

  11. What are my chances..

    EmpathyInAction replied to mag426's topic in General Students

    I suppose that just depends on where you attend. For example I attended a nursing school, as in that's all they do: an accelerated program, affiliated with a hospital, that only educates nurses. So...

  12. Any BSN students here?

    EmpathyInAction posted a topic in General Students

    I graduated from the ADN in May, just got my ATT two weeks ago and am scheduled to take my NCLEX on the 19. I start my BSN program about a week later. I'm enrolled FT but am hoping to get a job also....

  13. Any BSN students here?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is an RN - BSN bridge. I guess I could have clarified that

  14. Irrational question rationale

    EmpathyInAction posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Help Please - I got an NCLEX question wrong while studying but the rationale isn't... rational to me. Mind offering some insight? Q: After a retropubic prostatectomy for treatment of benign...

  15. The stuff they didnt teach

    EmpathyInAction posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX for the first time on the 19th. I've been slowly working through my Hurst material again and practice questions. As time gets closer I have been spending more time on...

  16. Any BSN students here?

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in General Students

    I've just had lots of people (nursing instructors, my role transition preceptor, recent graduates) tell me that BSN is a breeze comparatively. But everyone is different and I was just wondering what...

  17. How Soon Should I Begin Studying for NCLEX

    EmpathyInAction replied to hotmessmanda's topic in General Students

    Let me rephrase that, you are always being prepared for NCLEX from the moment you start school. However, I wouldn't stress on finding materials and such for it just yet as you enter your first...

  18. How Soon Should I Begin Studying for NCLEX

    EmpathyInAction replied to hotmessmanda's topic in General Students

    The thing about nursing school is that it is a lot of material and fast. I always started studying a week or two before classes started. They expect you to have already began studying when you walk...

  19. Most depressed I've ever been during nursing school

    EmpathyInAction replied to stephen1219's topic in General Students

    I haven't read all the replies so I hope I don't repeat what's been said buuut... There is a very large variety of things you can do as a nurse from working in a doctors office to a hospital med-surg...

  20. Irrational question rationale

    EmpathyInAction replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    See the rationale for titration makes perfect sense to me and therefore would have made option #2 correct for me, but the lack of orders threw me, which is why I felt 3 was correct. NCLEX is...
