  1. ABSN and young kids

    Lisa CCU RN replied to np_wannabe's topic in General Students

    I'm confused. If you do the night and weekend option are there less classes or something? If you do nights and weekends, then that means you will be gone at night and on the weekend and you'll still...

  2. Getting Divorced During Nursing School

    Lisa CCU RN replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

    Well, for one, he may be required to continue to support you while you are in nursing school since you are the primary caregiver. What kind of job does he expect you'll get to support two children? Do...

  3. RN and CRNA

    Lisa CCU RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anybody here work as or know someone who works as both a CRNA and an RN? What I mean is that they work in the OR and work on the floor as a RN. I was thinking of getting my year of experience in...

  4. RN and CRNA

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your response. The end of your quote is the answer I was looking for; there are some who work in different roles. I think anesthesia is interesting, but I also can't see never working...

  5. RN and CRNA

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    So, what about a NP that can't find work as a NP? In my area the market is saturated with NP's, so it could be a while until I find work as such. At Vanderbilt, there is an option for NP/CRNA, so...

  6. I was let go !

    Lisa CCU RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    A PEG is surgically inserted, so it being in the wrong place is unlikely; it goes directly into the stomach. A nasogastric tube goes through the nostril past the throat, into the esophagus and into...

  7. RN and CRNA

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for responding. It's not really about money. At this moment right now, I don't think I want to totally give up bedside nursing. But I also want to be a

  8. I was let go !

    Lisa CCU RN replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the nurses you were working with are the ones who need to be counseled because PEG tubes aren't checked for placement; NG tubes are. You check for residual if you are feeding. The water is for...

  9. Am i doing something wrong?? Plaese Help

    Lisa CCU RN replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Amen! What is it with insecure men? My dad's cousin is a dentist and her husband quit his job at Nissan and runs the business side of the office so all the money stays in the family. Now they have an...

  10. Am i doing something wrong?? Plaese Help

    Lisa CCU RN replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Let me rephrase. It's no longer the RULE that women stay at home. It seems that SOME men want to have the housewife, but do not want to provide for their wife's future like retirement if they don't...

  11. Am i doing something wrong?? Plaese Help

    Lisa CCU RN replied to flower2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'd tell her to mind her own business. If something happens to your hubby then you have a career to fall back on. I have a question though. What in the world do you do at home ALL DAY LONG with kids...

  12. Jumped ship, treading water

    Lisa CCU RN replied to mo-mo's topic in General Nursing

    What is

  13. Isn't there any specialites....

    Lisa CCU RN replied to Annie2005's topic in General Nursing

    LPN's can work in the OR and telemetry in hospitals. I say this because I work with an LPN on a telemetry floor and there is an LPN in the OR on this board. So, the answer is

  14. Does lack of motivation means no no to nursing?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to neb4882's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I think if I gave up on everything I wasn't particularly motivated to do, I'd be in a mess. No, I don't think yes because you are feeling unmotivated now it means you don't need to be a...

  15. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  16. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    This still doesn't explain why it matters if an employee gives their lunch to someone

  17. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you. I wonder if these people who are worried about the facilities bottom line and saving money are so supportive of that goal when they work short staffed day after day and...

  18. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    Not really. In this case no exception is being made. If every employee gave up their lunch for a family member, then they aren't losing anything. The facility decided they had enough money to offer...

  19. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    In this case, it is silly for it to be about money. The facility offers free lunches to its employees. I don't see what difference it makes as to whose mouth it goes into. It wasn't like she was...

  20. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    What is the world coming to. Everything is about M O N E

  21. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm sure someone is gonna be on the street for givin this one woman a tray.

  22. Can we feed the Family?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    What you are doing is very nice and thoughtful. I don't see why some administrators have to grow horns. How'd they even know you were doing it? I think if it's your lunch, you can give it whomever you...

  23. What nursing shortage?

    Lisa CCU RN replied to labfreak's topic in General Nursing

    No problem with jobs here in West TN. We have job fairs every semester and anyone at our school who wants an extern job if they want it. It's actually to where you can have multiple extern jobs if you...

  24. Umm, 16 hour shifts anyone??

    Lisa CCU RN replied to olol765's topic in Psychiatric

    I agree. You don't have to rush and things do indeed get

  25. Umm, 16 hour shifts anyone??

    Lisa CCU RN replied to olol765's topic in Psychiatric

    I did this as a CNA. I LOVED it. You have all that time off during the week and you can still work a day or two during the week if you'd like some extra money. Or you could take yourself a little...
