  3. Roll call for NY

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in New York Nursing

    Good morning!...Can't help you with the pre-reqs info for SUNY. I live upstate compared to NYC., and I went to community college. I took the remainder of pre-reqs that I needed during the day that...

  4. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

    NursesRmofun replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Definitely true in that. I was proud to be an "on the ball" LPN when I was a LPN for many years. People said they thought I was a RN (after knowing me and working with me.) In general, I think most...

  6. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    NursesRmofun replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i had heard that diploma nurses were *sort of* grandfathered in- only meaning that diploma nurses are not held to the current requirements for obtaining the credits in order to take the boards. that...

  7. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    NursesRmofun replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    True! Hopefully we are all looked at as being professional already! But I believe NYS requiring a BSN would be working toward a goal of covering all the bases re: professionalism. Yes! Heck yeah! I...

  8. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    NursesRmofun replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I respectfully disagree. There are good and bad in every profession, but that is not what makes them a profession. I have a AAS. But I am not going to get defensive because NY State *may* want a BSN...

    Wise words and good attitudes. It's not easy being a Manager...and you can't please

  10. Toxic Nurse Managers and how to deal...

    NursesRmofun replied to Stitchie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah. And then the Manager can refer them to the DON and so on and so on. Does *stuff* run uphill? :chuckle Yeah. It's better to be on the off-shift, I'm

    NursesRmofun replied to Stitchie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hmm.. Well, Mangement in my facility has a few different jobs....seeing the patients are cared for properly, seeing that the staff is doing their jobs, and making sure the necessary paperwork is done....

  12. Toxic Nurse Managers and how to deal...

    NursesRmofun replied to Stitchie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You aren't kidding! You said a mouthful! Lots of brown-nosing...but the truth is...it isn't about who you like...or it shouldn't be! It should be about how the person gets the patients/residents cared...

  13. Scariest situation?

    NursesRmofun replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I got hit by a car once and I was very scared...also on a ride at Disney...and during scary movies! Nursing is sometimes scary

  14. Professional in scrubs?

    NursesRmofun replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    I know what you are saying, but I think our badge and our introductions like, "I am your nurse," should be enough to tell nurses from other workers. I kind of like being

  15. Why al the negativity in LTC???

    NursesRmofun replied to sixes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, it's great if they have found a system that works. My facility is pretty good considering. In the end, you cannot get blood out of a stone....if something is impossible, then it is impossible. I...

  18. Why al the negativity in LTC???

    NursesRmofun replied to sixes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You are absolutely right! Not sure how some places get away with it. I guess they are functioning differently when the state is around. Terrible. In my facility, they don't stay in w/c's for 12 hrs....

  19. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    NursesRmofun replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have heard of similar things. At a nearby university, they offer people who already have a BS/BA in something else a program to become a NP in 16 or 18 months without having any previous nursing...

  20. Why al the negativity in LTC???

    NursesRmofun replied to sixes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am sorry, but I am not sure I understand. 12 hrs. wet? That is not acceptable in the least. I am not sure why that happened on your unit. I would imagine you would be very upset. Wasn't there...

  21. Why al the negativity in LTC???

    NursesRmofun replied to sixes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LOL :) ...Not a regulation as far as time, but.....I mean, let's say (hypothetical) that the aides come on at 7 and breakfast is at 8:15.....All the residents that are able are supposed to be in the...

    NursesRmofun replied to MaggieJo's topic in General Students

    I took a HESI exam and then took my boards a few months later. The Hesi was easier IMO...but it is still good

  23. Why al the negativity in LTC???

    NursesRmofun replied to sixes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh boy! Don't get me started! LOL Truth is, kidding aside, I think the problem is that **someone** doing the regulation is not up to date with the needs in LTC. Somebody keeps giving LTC facilities...

  24. Tired of toileting, docs, and pt dependency

    NursesRmofun replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you are so unhappy...but a lot of what you describe is the nature of nursing today. The first year is always a tough one....learning the job. It is not a "glory job," by any stretch. It's a...
