  2. Share your positive experience with a distance program!

    orangepink replied to CookiePB's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had apprehensions with an online/distance program but after the first 2 semesters, I'm really loving it. Mostly because I have more control over my time and the school gives me space to handle how...

    orangepink replied to evolvingrn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am a presently full-time student in a full-time program. No kids, not married, living with parents to help with the rent and all. And I'm still getting swamped with homework, rotations and...

  4. Doctors serving fast food and providing cleaning services in US

    orangepink replied to mahaandai's topic in Advanced Practice

    I saw this on the news. While I do understand the shortage of physicians in the US, I think that this piece of news was meant to influence the immigration reform. In my opinion, they could have...

    orangepink replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats! I'm graduating in Dec as well. I have a few questions, if you don't mind answering them. I'm going to school full-time and this coming fall is my last semester so I was thinking of making...

  6. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi! I don't know if this is the right forum for my topic so please feel free to move it as the mods deemed fit. I'm an RN-BSN with around less than 2 years experience as a med-surg nurse. I currently...

  7. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just applied at a local surgery center for a PACU position. Bwahahahaha! I'd rather have them sleeping than awake and whining bwahahaha! Seriously, thanks everyone! I kept telling myself --- why...

  8. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And as for the PT/OT in XYZ1, they only spend 10-15 mins with a patient and move on. They teach the nurse and the patient the exercises and expect the nurse to do the exercises with the patient as...

  11. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. If we only had 5 CNAs on our unit, that would be heaven. Thanks for the motivating comments. I do get good feedback from other patients and their family and that really makes my day....

  12. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, my charge nurse was already aware of this so she gave me a different patient that day (3rd day) but she didn't tell me why. I didn't know they already complained about me that 2nd day. The...

  13. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's amazing the lack of patient education re: their diagnoses. I had a pt whose wife kept yelling at the RTs as to why her husband has trouble breathing. Her husband has been a chain smoker since...

  15. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's the common response but hey, it's a for-profit facility so money matters most. I get used to it though and luckily, things get

  16. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yup, that's what I did. After he yelled at me, my charge nurse came to pacify him and I said that if they want to switch his dad to another nurse's care in the middle of the day, I'm fine with it....

  17. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He gets 75cc/hr of diabeti-ource. I just thought I'd feed him since he hasn't gained weight since he got to our unit. The reason why I wanted to "stretched it out" because I had another patient who...

  19. Got an interview!!!! Now I need advice

    orangepink replied to laurabs24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ^ I know the feeling. I opted for a phone interview once and when I didn't make it, I couldn't get over that little detail. I felt like I should have been there personally. Anyway, since this is an...

  20. from ADN to FNP

    orangepink replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @Jonathan: Sadly, these RN-BSN programs do not provide enough foundation to give us, ADN graduates, equal opportunities in being accepted in grad schools. I've applied to 2 grad schools and wasn't...

  21. Infatuated with colleague - need counsel

    orangepink replied to RCBR's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just be very discreet. Extremely discreet. Better yet, don't talk about it even when you feel all mushy on the inside. Generally-speaking, two nurses who are known to be dating can not work in the...

  22. Got an interview!!!! Now I need advice

    orangepink replied to laurabs24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Congratulations! My advice is if you can fly over to their school and have a face-to-face interview that would be better so you can establish a connection and show your

    My mom's friend is a PA in a prison system in California. When she does her assessment, she's left all alone with the patient inside a room. There's a guard nearby though to help her if she calls...

    orangepink replied to ice_orange's topic in International Nursing

    All of you (including @bsnwnab) spend so much effort deconstructing everything I say and as well as all that's written on the internet and I wonder if any of you even bothered to check with an...
