  1. Refusing to change/toilet pts

    LovingLife123 replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    I get irritated when CNAs get on this site as complain that nurses feel CNA work is beneath them, when that is totally not the case. It honestly makes me think what the Techs on my unit think to...

  2. ADON having sex with CNA

    LovingLife123 replied to AWorley80's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of relationships start in the workplace. The way you word and talk about this, it's like you have this giant secret that could destroy the world. Lol. I have this "knowledge" and could I get...

  3. Are your raises based on patient satisfaction scores?

    LovingLife123 replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    For us, it's a small part of the overall review. It won't prevent you from getting a raise, but if the unit's scores suck, you won't get the highest amount of an

  4. Refusing to change/toilet pts

    LovingLife123 replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    I get irritated every time I see one of these posts. Whether it's a CNA or a Tech, ADLs are your job. That is the bulk of what your job is. I don't get the complaining about nurses. ADLs are a...

  5. nurses not using stethoscopes

    LovingLife123 replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    So, the patients never get assessed? How do they do initial assessments. You never chart the previous shifts assessment. You always do your own assessment and chart. What if somebody ends up with...

  6. IV training for RN

    LovingLife123 replied to moneynhien's topic in General Nursing

    It just takes time and practice. I have never heard of a class to

  7. MSN in nursing for people with different bachelors good deal?

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Students

    I work in a magnet hospital and was hired with an ASN. Was never told I needed a BSN, but obtained it for myself. There are no MSNs working bedside where I am. And if there are where you are...

  8. MSN in nursing for people with different bachelors good deal?

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Students

    First of all, thete ate tons of threads on here about this. Second, I have personally talked to HR reps in different hospitals in my local area. They won't hire it. It's the OPs time and money, not...

  9. MSN in nursing for people with different bachelors good deal?

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Students

    Not if you can't get hired. Many hospitals require the BSN. Many of these ELM programs skip that degree all together. A masters prepared nurse is often skipped over in the application process for...

  10. MSN in nursing for people with different bachelors good deal?

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Students

    Because nurse's that come into the field with a masters degree and no bedside experience are finding it difficult to find jobs. You are considered too qualified for a bedside position. But employers...

  11. MSN in nursing for people with different bachelors good deal?

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Students

    No. Not a good idea. Get your BSN, get some bedside experience and then go for your

  12. Can I stay home and watch my boyfriend.

    LovingLife123 replied to sgray2008's topic in General Nursing

    Most of ours do too. I've seen a couple discharged to an LTACH but they were not allowed to leave without helmets. This just seems like an odd story and somebody trying to scam the system. But...

  13. Can I stay home and watch my boyfriend.

    LovingLife123 replied to sgray2008's topic in General Nursing

    That could be why he is maybe told to do nothing? Maybe he doesn't have a helmet? A year is just such a long time for a bone flap. And every bone flap I have ever seen has been on one side of the...

  14. Anyone know Nursing Schools In Germany?

    LovingLife123 replied to hayvan413's topic in International Nursing

    I would think you would have to be a citizen of that country to get free

  15. Can I stay home and watch my boyfriend.

    LovingLife123 replied to sgray2008's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering that too. I've never seen any of my stroke patients get patches on the back of their heads. I was thinking maybe it's something used in other sections of the

  16. Any ideas on other nursing jobs I can do

    LovingLife123 replied to mestiza90's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you fear losing your license? Are you willfully being neglectful to patients? Are you diverting drugs? That's pretty much what would constitute you to lose your license. I understand you...

  17. Heparin - Late Rate change error

    LovingLife123 replied to NewerNurse01's topic in General Nursing

    If I had seen signs and symptoms of bleeding, which you did, I would have drawn the PTT early and called the doc to see if they wanted the Heparin gtt temporarily stopped. I don't know that I would...

  18. HELPP! New nurse to Med Surg but NOT a new nurse

    LovingLife123 replied to zoomonkey's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are focusing too much on not being a new grad anymore and what you don't know. You need to focus on what you do know. How do you know for sure the other nurses are saying those things...

  19. Self-doubt

    LovingLife123 replied to petersalazar's topic in General Nursing

    Trigonometry is a prerequisites for a nursing program? Usually it's stats and college algebra. Are you doing the prereqs for a nursing program? Honors stats sounds like a high school class. Have...

  20. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    LovingLife123 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have lots of girls on my unit going back to school for their masters and doctorates. Many of them having been nurses for years and I know they will be great APRNs. I'm excited for them to expand...

  21. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    LovingLife123 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I see these direct entry programs as pretty much the sole reason that APRNs are not taken seriously in the field. It's why there is so much push back from the rest of the medical community and it's...

  22. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    LovingLife123 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is crazy. No follow up CXR with a chest injury? Oh

  23. Should I be a nurse? Will it be the right choice?

    LovingLife123 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is my two cents. I think that going into nursing as a default career because nothing else is paying you is wrong. I'll explain why. I don't think nursing is a calling, but I do think you have...

  24. So worried....Should i quit RN program due to legal/background issue?

    LovingLife123 replied to jss1985's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I hope you learned the lesson how to detect when a teenager is lying. It's anytime their lips are moving. Teenagers are not to ever be trusted.

  25. Blamed for CAUTI

    LovingLife123 replied to ERrn21's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on when it was inserted and when the infection was found. In my hospital, the patient has to be on our unit for 72 hours before the CAUTI is charged to us. So, if a culture was obtained...
