    Info needed pls. Loveland, CO

    SE_BSN_RN replied to marshalbc77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    If you are part of the compact, you can work here on your IA license for 30 days. If CO is going to be your permanent place of residency you will need to get an endorsement from the CO BON. I moved...

    Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    SE_BSN_RN replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    No, it doesn't make sense, but this is where nurses should know their scope of practice and what their facility guidelines are. Some states the BON allows LPN's as supervisors but not clinically, so...

    Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    SE_BSN_RN replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and it is tough, no matter what your degree. The letters behind your name don't tell your experience, either. It's hard for the employees as well as the new person coming on until everyone gets...

    In some states, yes, an LVN/PN can supervise an RN. Just not

    Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    Well, I suppose, but I just don't see how you can scrape by with a D in pre-req's and get into any nursing school at all. Even LPN programs have a minimum GPA, too, and a D isn't it! NS aren't taking...

    Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    Ok so I guess I don't understand where you get the idea that many take the LPN route to circumvent the ADN admission GPA requirements. In the ADN program, in some states, after the first year, you can...

    Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    I hope this is your sense of humor showing. So, are you telling me that LPN's who (like me) that graduated with honors are going to scrape by in RN school? I certainly have more experience than a CNA...

    Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    SE_BSN_RN replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    Well, put yourself in her position......she is probably just glad to have a job. When I graduate with my BSN, I will be the first to say I will not be ready for a charge position. Even after working...

    Should I become an lpn first or just go for ASN?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Will-B's topic in Indiana Nursing

    After your first year of RN school, some states let you sit for your LPN/VN boards. Ask at your school or call the

    What does your username mean?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, mine is pretty self explanatory, although I should change it. But then when I get my BSN, I'll have to change it

    Should I become an lpn first or just go for ASN?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Will-B's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I would do what is best for you. Go the BSN route if you can. If not, definately get your RN first. I regret not doing that in the first place, however, the experience I have is invaluable, especially...

    Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    The bottom line is eventually you will need a BSN to work in a hospital, anywhere. LPN's are not utilized as they should be, and are being phased out, except for in LTC because LTC doesn't have the...

    Advice to nursing students from a hiring manager

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Linda328's topic in General Students

    I am in the process of getting my BSN, and I work right now as an LPN. I say experience is invaluable, no matter what nursing experience it is. I have a job waiting for me at a new sub-acute hospital...

    Why Nurses Book Off Work

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Do I call in? Yes. Alot? No. Maybe 5 times in the last 5 years, and usually because one of my kids is sick. I sometimes go to work sick. Why? Because my facility doesn't and has never had enough staff...

    Why Nurses Book Off Work

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    My husband was a bus driver and he would "book off".....means to call in sick. It is a term also used by transit bus drivers here in the US. I don't call in sick because I am not addressed as "LPN."...

    Life as a Nurse

    SE_BSN_RN replied to mushymash's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree about the people that post about you sounding like you are burnt out. This is, indeed, the realities of nursing! No matter what specialty you work in, unless you work in a clinic...

    The Money is my motivation

    SE_BSN_RN replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I don't expect anyone to coddle to anyone's whining but when you have a new nurse isn't it our resposibility to teach them how to have compassion and do proper care without chasing them off

    The Money is my motivation

    SE_BSN_RN replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    It will be frustrating and you will have good days and bad days. I think we all have expectations of ourselves when we go into nursing and then feel like we fail at those after we see what we really...

    At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    LPN's and RN's in a clinic setting also work under the MD, so it doesn't matter in that aspect. Don't call yourself a nurse if you aren't one. But I think in the clinic setting it is easier to say...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a little harsh. I think the OP wasn't looking for this type of reply. I would imagine that she does care. That doesn't mean she can't come to this board and seek others who feel like...
