    In over my head?

    Sour Lemon replied to khinlicky's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm also curious as to what her title is. She sounds positively charming, in any case. Her comment was so over the top that I probably would have laughed ...at least on the inside if not in her

    Have to make a decision but I'm afraid

    Sour Lemon replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the time off ....especially if your husband is able to comfortably support the family. Lots of nurses take time off while their kids are young and are able to return. And you have a good,...

    Binded with a contract and trying to see the positive side of it.

    Sour Lemon replied to nursejaclynxx's topic in General Nursing

    A low-paying, new program that offers possibility, but no guarantee does not sound like anything to jump the fence for. If L&D is your dream and you have no luck after this contract is up, you...

    Sample nursing test questions before you get the job

    Sour Lemon replied to Cutey's topic in General Nursing

    What sort of test are you speaking

    Just an annoyance I'm sure you all can relate to.

    Sour Lemon replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Students

    People say those types of things no matter who or what you are. They're not trying to be offensive, they're just making conversation. Before I was a nurse, people constantly told me I should do...

    Reapplying for a job

    Sour Lemon replied to Bkre8iv2's topic in General Nursing

    My actual "mood" in the first post was amused ....very amused. My second post was sarcasm, of course ...but you weren't happy with my real answer. Some people jump straight to the "You can do it!"...

    Reapplying for a job

    Sour Lemon replied to Bkre8iv2's topic in General Nursing

    They are sure to take you back. I'm surprised that they haven't already contacted you. I can see how much you've grown and how mature you are, and I know that they will see it too. The unit is...

    Reapplying for a job

    Sour Lemon replied to Bkre8iv2's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you have a lot of nerve ...I'll give you that. I read your old post and you make the place sound positively miserable. Considering that and the fact that they fired you, why would you even want...

    In for the Long Haul

    Sour Lemon replied to Tish105's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There is a whole section of the site dedicated to issues like this one that might be worth exploring. https://allnurses.com/nursing-licensure-criminal/ I think I would decide whether or not to...

    How to gain experience in the medical setting before applying to nursing school?

    Sour Lemon replied to graceRN680's topic in General Nursing

    Some schools may consider prior health care experience a plus, but many do not. Make sure you look at the specific program(s) you're interested in applying to. You dont want to waste time and effort...

    Frustrated

    Sour Lemon replied to pinedaw14's topic in General Nursing

    You're in a horrible market ....even for very experienced, well-connected nurses. Is there a reason you have to live

    Is it wrong to request PTO because you've been assigned a shift you don't want?

    Sour Lemon replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen PTO requests approved after a final schedule has been posted ....except in cases where the employee was canceled due to low census. I think it would be strange for them to "punish" you...

    I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    Sour Lemon replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    I would say no without a second thought. Even if it gave me a slight edge in job-seeking, it wouldn't be worth

    2 part-time jobs vs. 1 full-time job

    Sour Lemon replied to DesertSky's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a hassle, to me, although there are people who make it work. I do per diem in one hospital and float between a few different units. I wonder if that's something that might work for you?...

    Are there any Psych/Medical Units?

    Sour Lemon replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked in a med/surg unit for patients with a stable psychiatric diagnosis ...although the stable part was questionable for some patients. And my home unit is planning to convert to geri/psych...

    Lvn = working w/stable pts??

    Sour Lemon replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In NCLEX world. LVNs are given stable, "easy" patients. In real life, from what I've seen, that's not what happens. They're just divided up and everyone gets what they

    Applying to an out of state position?

    Sour Lemon replied to katinthehatter's topic in General Nursing

    Most states' BONs also have a good amount of information on their websites. It will most likely be under "application by endorsement", or something similar to

    RN currently on Probation with the BRN. Got a write up at work!

    Sour Lemon replied to sunshinekid7's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have no idea what effect the write-up might have on your probation, but what a sucky manager to write you up for

    license under investigation

    Sour Lemon replied to soulman869's topic in General Nursing

    Was the complaint made to your agency or to the BON? It's most likely something that will have to be disclosed when you apply for any job if it's a report to the board. No one here knows your...

    Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Sour Lemon replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    It reminds me of an old Monty Python skit where they're preparing for surgery by collecting "the machine that goes ping" and "the most expensive machine in case the administrator comes". Then they...

    Endorsing to Texas from CA

    Sour Lemon replied to reginalin's topic in General Nursing

    Their website states they're currently processing applications received in early April ...so they're not known for speed. And if anything is missing, incomplete, incorrect, etc., you can count on an...
