    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nursing Student Charting Woes

    blah_blah_blah replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    A few of the hospitals I had clinicals at had computer stations out in the halls as well as in the nurses station. We were also allowed to use 2 WOWs to share among the students. I had one instructor...

  8. That nagging feeling...

    blah_blah_blah replied to dudette10's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This isn't a nursing story, but rather a story about a mother's intuition. My dad was diagnosed with PPH in 1990 (before I was born) and he needed a double lung transplant. Needless to say, he was in...

  9. Nursing School Horror Stories

    blah_blah_blah replied to MR-RN15's topic in General Students

    You should have foreseen car troubles and slept in the school overnight to avoid being late for your test. Your fault. I'm kidding, of course. However, this was somewhat the mentality at my ADN...

  10. Is applying for multiple jobs at the same facility "annoying"?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose my main concern is that I will look indecisive, which now that I say it out loud, it seems silly. I just don't want to cause confusion with my multiple applications and get myself ruled out...

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I passed my boards last summer and I'm just finishing up my BSN. I'll be graduating in May. As I said before, multiple people have told me that this hospital won't even consider you unless you have...

    blah_blah_blah replied to ana377's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It depends what you want to do. I didn't go to LPN school but my RN program offered a summer LPN class. the LPN program was fall and spring semester taking nursing 1 and 2 (the same curriculum as the...

  15. Is applying for multiple jobs at the same facility "annoying"?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for your reply! I should have stated this in the original post, but all the applications go to one woman. At least that's what the application said. I was just concerned about being irritating...

  16. Is applying for multiple jobs at the same facility "annoying"?

    blah_blah_blah replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input! the reason I ask is that all the applications go to the same person in charge of hiring. I believe once it is approved by her, it will then go to the unit managers. That's why I...

  20. Fellow nurses...does this make sense?

    blah_blah_blah replied to desert_MP's topic in General Nursing

    At my school, we were not allowed to perform any skills without the CI present. You could pass meds with the RN if you got permission first (some CI's didn't mind, others would absolutely not allow...

  21. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    blah_blah_blah replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know that if I was required to work as a CNA to attend nursing school, I never would have attempted nursing school. Not because I think I am "above" the role of a CNA, it's just that I never had the...
