  1. Personal appearance on job interviews (weird situation)

    changeofpaceRN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I too would go and tell them upfront. To ME, that shows this job is impt to you and you aren't one to call off because you are

  2. Worst night ever

    changeofpaceRN replied to Morettia2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Umm yeah thank you for further encouraging me to stay away from hospitals hahaha. You did an amazing job at CYA and I can't believe everyone wanted to pass the buck. Are they not aware of teamwork...

  3. Is is it normal to not like nursing?

    changeofpaceRN replied to intothemoon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    For me, the pay was BETTER than hospital nursing.. but this is through a non-profit facility. And I just started this job so I can't tell you the exact job duties yet. I have a few more avenues to...

  5. Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!

    changeofpaceRN replied to TXRN02's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yup me too.. it happens all the time. One time, the stethoscope get stuck on the door handle that I swung backwards from the pull and my face went into the side of the door. I felt so...

  6. Have you taken 2 exams in the same day? Thoughts?

    changeofpaceRN replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ya know, I used to take multiple final exams in college so I thought this wouldn't be any different. Well, all I have to say is that I'm GLAD I never scheduled 2 in 1 day. My mind was so burnt out...

  7. Anyone here go through school with no medical background?

    changeofpaceRN replied to bcskittlez's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You sound like me a few years ago :-) I couldn't get into the RN program because the wait list was too long so I went for LPN. You should have seen me in my 1st semester clinicals. It was a joke....

  8. Are you required to be up to date on vaccinations?

    changeofpaceRN replied to moodyred01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From what I know about law, they can not force anyone to have it and it should have no effect on your license. Federal laws are above any state law so exemptions should apply. As for specific...

  9. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    changeofpaceRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This post made me laugh.. I've had SO many of these patients, they would actually wake themselves up every 20 min or so out of their deep sleep to check the time. Or, they ask for their narc, you get...

  10. Help Please!New LPNPlease Reply!

    changeofpaceRN replied to katgirl46806's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I got 6 weeks orientation at my 1st place and they were great.. I then moved onto another facility and had to train many new grads in 3 days. I know it can be done but this is your license and I...

  11. Honesty during the interview

    changeofpaceRN replied to JohnUNF's topic in General Nursing

  13. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    changeofpaceRN replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a minute, are you going to be doing the night shift????????? If so, I'd advise against this job as your first one. Being alone is not cool when you are new and have no one to talk to or ask...

  14. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    changeofpaceRN replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I'd take it. If you had that much trouble even getting ONE phone call, then that says a lot about the opportunity for a new grad in your area. Even if you stay there 6 - 9 months, that...

  15. Discouraged new LPN

    changeofpaceRN replied to ALawson's topic in General Nursing

    I had a hard time finding a job as a LPN a few years back. I submitted countless resumes with NO calls. I finally took out the phone book and started calling. I called upwards of about 40 places...

  16. Worst Nightmare as a Nurse Came True

    changeofpaceRN replied to idrinkpop's topic in General Nursing

    The others are right- there is nothing more you could have done. You have multiple people to take care of and things to get done during your shift. I had a horrible experience my 1st year. I...

    changeofpaceRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    and got offered the job (not sure I want it though:icon_roll)- that's another story. Anyway, I'm in FL and I was preparing for a debate on my schooling. The question came up and the director said...

  18. 3-11 LTC supervisors: what do you do?

    changeofpaceRN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Can anyone give me a run down of the responsibilities and what to expect? Is it a job worth taking even if it is the same pay working the floor for that shift? I don't want the extra headache if...

  19. How do you deal (failing a class)

    changeofpaceRN replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up yet. Do your best and give it your all so you can tell yourself that you tried. It sucks to fail a class- no doubt about it- but the fundamentals class is impt to know and I think you...

  21. When a baby is born, do they get their own chart?

    changeofpaceRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Or is it included in the mothers chart? I just requested medical records for my son after he was born and I put down his name as the patient. As I was driving home, I was wondering if he even had a...

  22. Addictions Receiving Facilities?? Anyone work in one?

    changeofpaceRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find a section under the "specialty" section for this field and was wondering if anyone had advice or stores to share? I was contacted by an addition facility for young adults and I plan...

    changeofpaceRN replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just an FYI about the flu shot.. even though you got one, the CDC even said this past flu shot does not protect against it. To answer the OP's question, nope. We eat well, exercise and have enough...
