    needs input to keep my inner peace

    Lunah replied to singleye's topic in General Nursing

    This! If I am in charge and in staffing, you're darn right I am going to take a light assignment. Do you really think a charge nurse has time to get tied up with a heavy load? He/she has a ton of...

    How can I appeal the decision ofthe NY state board of Nursing?

    Lunah replied to Brithany#1's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt moral integrity is tied to one's choice of school. There is likely more to this that we aren't hearing. Good luck,

    Resignation, What To Do With Accrued PTO??

    Lunah replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a hospital system that only reimbursed you for 75 cents on the dollar for each hour of PTO, and it was taxed. And for this reason (a savings to them), you were not allowed to burn PTO...

    How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Lunah replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    That is awesome!! We went from 2300 sq ft 4/2.5 home to a 2000 sq ft home, but the second one had a less open layout and didn't feel like 2000 sq ft. We gained a family member (our daughter) and...

    How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Lunah replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    Let it gooooooooo! I have hired a residential dumpster twice in the last year. It is liberating! When I was deployed I only owned what I could carry. Now I am not ever thinking that I will get to that...

    Graduation Hold

    Lunah replied to bnm65435's topic in General Students

    That is what I was thinking. I would not think that satisfying the requirements for graduation would be tied to the final bill; however, releasing transcripts is definitely related to being in good...

    Infection Control

    Lunah replied to pjsrav's topic in General Nursing

    I have not worked in a hospital in which nail polish (or acrylic nails) have been allowed in those who provide care at the bedside in a long time! Does that still

    BDN vs BSN?

    Lunah replied to Morgansamantha's topic in General Students

    Because ACEN has them in a warning status due to the pass rates, I would guess it's the first-time pass rate. There is information on this page, almost all the way at the bottom: Accreditation...

    Graduation Hold

    Lunah replied to bnm65435's topic in General Students

    If they will release your transcripts as soon as your balance is paid, you should be good to go, I would think. You have met the requirements to graduate from an academic standpoint. Is there anyone...

    BDN vs BSN?

    Lunah replied to Morgansamantha's topic in General Students

    Awww, don't beat yourself up so much! $25K is a lot better than $100K (like $75K better, haha). The risk with those NCLEX pass rates is the potential for any school losing accreditation, because that...

    BDN vs BSN?

    Lunah replied to Morgansamantha's topic in General Students

    Okay, I exercised my Google-fu and found this: BDN - Nightingale College I am amazed at the cost of this program: https://nightingale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/COA_BDN.pdf Wow. OP, do you have...

    BDN vs BSN?

    Lunah replied to Morgansamantha's topic in General Students

    Bachelors Degree in Nursing, maybe? I'm puzzled too! Never heard of it referred to as a "BDN," though I have heard "ASN" and "ADN" used

    The best nursing shoes?

    Lunah replied to laurenfa918's topic in General Nursing

    Brooks! I also like Hokas. And Dansko XP Pros. I have a shoe problem.

    You're very welcome! Every little bit of awareness

    Commute!

    Lunah replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I used to commute 89 miles each way in the Northern VA/DC area, back when I was a desktop publisher/graphic designer. It wasn't that long of a commute until my company sold its building and moved our...

    Is Giving 2 Weeks Notice Ancient Practice?

    Lunah replied to staple1027's topic in General Nursing

    I was required to give two weeks, I gave three. Only management has to give four weeks where I am, which makes sense. I am not management, but not bedside either as an educator, so I felt good about...

    Anybody else feel this way?

    Lunah replied to Rocketskates's topic in General Nursing

    Aha, I see. I didn't realize that was your deadline. I understand mourning the lost time, I have become more selfish with my time after my daughter was born. I am three courses into a DNP, and I am on...

    Is it worth going back to get my rn when I make 57,000 a year?

    Lunah replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    Then if you are happy where you are and don't want to do it, don't do it. It's your life, your education. But if it's about the money (that is a big motivator for most people I know), you might have...

    What kinds of courses are you looking for? Regarding your current course, you can dispute the charge if you paid by credit card, and also check with the Better Business

    Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    Lunah replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    The thing with sleep aids is that they are designed to make you sleep. No one here can tell you if it's going to work or give you reassurance that this anxiety will pass, we don't know you and you...

    OP, can you just do one class at a time? That would probably leave you more time for family and

    Army FY 2019

    Lunah replied to msnapper's topic in Government, Military

    Funding for seats at BOLC was a big factor. There may also be a gap between the RFO and the actual orders, too. My report date was about 3 weeks from the day I got my orders, but I had my RFO some...
