1. Scary Nurses

   NurseEmmy replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

2. Scary Nurses

   NurseEmmy posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am at a loss. Why do we continue to allow scary nurses to continue to practice? Why do employers continue to keep these nurses around? The nurse "training" me right now sleeps for several hours...

3. Indiana Board of Nursing Question

   NurseEmmy replied to alipeters5111's topic in Indiana Nursing

   I wouldn't panic yet. Call Monday and see what they can do to help. I am sure there is proof somewhere, it just has to be found. Ivy Tech typically requires proof. Maybe contact them to see if they...

4. Current Ivy tech LPN to RN transition students

   NurseEmmy replied to Nurseteej's topic in Indiana Nursing

   It isn't typically offered in the summer at SB, but due to so many failing there is a rumor it might be offered for certain students. Don't let that worry you though. They are changing instructors...

6. Yacker Tracker in the NICU ???

   NurseEmmy replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

   So did they account for alarms, crying families, or crying babies? NICU's tend to be quiet on the staff front. It's thing out of your control that makes them "noisy". Hopefully this passes

   I have been an LPN for 11 years. I am graduating from an ASN program this May. It's a mix of traditional and transition students like myself. My question is when do you guys think I should apply? If I...

    Congrats! You are about to embark on the most exhausting/frustrating/expensive/and time consuming adventure. Hopefully you are one of those who graduate and pass NCLEX. Get as many of your affairs in...

    NurseEmmy replied to broobrum58's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NurseEmmy replied to RUBYMARTINEZ's topic in General Students

    We can't offer medical advice per TOS, but I will say make sure that it is a true positive. There are a lot of people who have no idea what a true positive test looks like. Just because it is...

    NurseEmmy replied to sealford's topic in General Students

    This is fairly common with nursing programs in general. My LPN program 10 years ago required I passed a similar test to officially graduate. My current ADN program also has requirements about passing...

    NurseEmmy replied to georgestump's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you have a family to support why did you wait 5 years to take NCLEX? I'm not sure what states if any will allow you to take your boards at this point. I would start cold calling boards of...
