    Getting so busy and forgot to notify the charge nurse about a small med error

    Sour Lemon replied to georgya3's topic in General Nursing

    You make it sound as if this charge nurse has absolutely nothing to do, but I'm skeptical that they pay her just to sit around and be mean to you. Is it possible that you're expecting too much from...

    Staying within your job description

    Sour Lemon replied to PCsunflower's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you still in the room with them? Do you have to "hand them over" or are you just dropping them off and leaving? I would probably provide a stand by assist, if needed, but I wouldn't pull...

    Is it a bad idea to go back to school for a CNA license after graduating as LVN?

    Sour Lemon replied to Virtual's topic in General Nursing

    ...because you don't realize how desperate a lot of new graduate nurses are in California? I know an LVN working as a telemetry monitor and another working as a unit clerk. They've both been looking...

    "I work in the medical field"

    Sour Lemon replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    One of my patient's daughters kept mentioning that she was in "medical school" (MA school). She frequently left "expensive" clothing, spread out on the mother's bedside table, with the price tags...

    It's cute that you think you'll be able to contact them. YOU WON'T. I found dealing with the California BON a little frustrating ...but I did eventually get licensed, and hopefully you will

    Sour Lemon replied to jessicarnorot's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Too many people think of writing properly as something they need to attempt only in English class. Use what you know and what you learn so that it becomes second nature. Few of us are perfect, but...

    Dreading work

    Sour Lemon replied to adlxoxo's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's pretty normal when you care and have more tasks to complete than are humanly possible. I got really good at clustering care and figuring out which corners were the least harmful to cut....

    Gen Med Vs Specialty

    Sour Lemon replied to courtneyfrank7's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the nurse's long term goals, job prospects in the area, what the specialty is, whether or not the nurse is willing/able to relocate,

    Is it a bad idea to go back to school for a CNA license after graduating as LVN?

    Sour Lemon replied to Virtual's topic in General Nursing

    The BON for RNs does state that dual licensure is not permitted. An RN can't get an LVN license or a CNA certification. I'm unsure if the same rule exists for LVNs, but it's not hard to believe that...

    As a nurse, you are already qualified to work as a nursing assistant. That being said, CNA experience does not count as nursing experience. You would still be an inexperienced nurse- which is what you...

    Toxic Workplace?

    Sour Lemon replied to scarletmelliz's topic in General Nursing

    No ...sorry. California is the one weird place that has separate boards for RN and LVN. I assumed since you were already a licensed VN on allnurses, you were waiting on an RN license this time around....
