    Knowledgeable vs. Caring Nurse

    Hard to say, but experience has shown me that a person that took the time to obtain the knowledge by continuing to read, take continuing education classes and applies their knowledge is a caring...
  2. I would also fight the decision. I mean, if the child (God FORBID) swallowed an overdose of pills and did not die, does that mean that you have to be charged?? I don't mean to bring up an extreme...

    Please tell me I am not alone

    I am sorry to hear that this happened. I would probably not admit that I worked at this place and start fresh. Complete your treatment and be well. I can understand your feelings-textbook versus...

    NYC CNA's

    Just dropping a note to wish all of you well with your searches and career goals. I also hope that this recession does not last for a long time. I don't have a great impression of Allen school...

    Client Transport, & Home Health Aide

    I am just plain not comfortable transporting someone in my vehicle. This is a litigeious society and even if waivers are signed, etc...it does not mean that one may not incurr court costs while...

    Thinking about becoming an LPN and NEEDS HELP!

    Some people find that RN programs are more competitive when trying to get into fresh, with no nursing experience whatsoever, and also discover that it is easier to transition into bridge programs upon...

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    What I notice is that some people are saying that the OP over-reacted, to just let it roll off of her back, etc... I disagree, because the bottom line is that people feel free to make derogatory...

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    And, even if you decided to remain an LPN for longer or the rest of your life, there is nothing wrong with that,

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    Don't get me started...I have experienced the same thing. People have said "Oh, you are so smart, you are always reading...why NOT?" I have heard this so often that my response has been even more...

    Need your help please

    That is true, that accepting money from friends can lead to another realm that is hard to return back from. Things do change when the roles take a

    Dealing with Violent Children

    You can't control how these people parent, but I would not allow MY child to be exposed to any of this! What sort of trust would your daughter have in you if she continues to tell you she is afraid...

    Client Transport, & Home Health Aide

    So, she didn't care that she was wearing down YOUR car as long as she preserved her own? I would have left, also. That is purely taking

    I don't hate my job, I hate the people I work with

    :yeah:You are so funny, Jules, and absolutely correct. There are a few, as disgusting as they are with keeping up with their share of work that do actually make my

    I don't hate my job, I hate the people I work with

    Are these other nurses you are working with or CNAs? I would probably slow down a bit. Not enough to stall the entire show, but in order to save yourself. I agree with Jules in that I like to be...

    online LVN program?

    A great deal of students coming into an LPN program (not all, but many) have no nursing background whatsoever, and the LPN program is basically the foundation of nursing. You need to know the...

    Read the thread before you post!!!!!

    I'm not mad at you. I think what happens, however, is that the juicier threads have over 700 replies, and after reading a few hot responses, people just want to jump right in, so it is hard. One...

    LTC to Med/Surg

    The above poster gave good advice. If you are having a hard time trying to obtain ANY position, I guess anything is better than nothing, but you would probably have to aggressively seek a more...

    Having Problem with Manager

    Have other people left that department? If the manager has a high turnover rate, she may be trying to block your leave to save face. Other times, it can be out of spite, or because they really value...

    Working for 2 hospitals: How to do it?

    I would wait a year until you are more confident. Of course, only you know yourself, but, sometimes, the differences in policy/procedures, equipment use, computer documenting (if done), paperwork,...

    Rude Medical Interns

    I have had the same...some interns in my clinic are so afraid that they are happy to see a nurse smile at them...poor things. Then, there are the
  21. I did not use that book for nursing school but purchased it on my own and found it a bit easier to understand, but from what you describe about your professor and remembering for format of the book, I...

    Hiring freeze lifted at certain hospitals?

    HHC does have a tendency to list positions to be 'pc' while they have already hired. There is a strong rumor, however, with Mary Immaculate and Saint John's hospital closing, funds have been given to...
  23. From what I hear, most cases, they don't. I hope that I am wrong, but many will make the student start all over

    LPN school changed minimum grade

    I believe that the school can change their grade requirements when they like to, as hard as that can be. And in most cases, they round DOWN rather than round UP, so, yes, a 79.999%=failure. My...

    Which A&P Class should I take for LPN

    I am sorry to hear that your husband passed away. Are you asking if you should take the LPN or RN course? Are both of these offered at the same school? I ask this because while the college level...
