Do Patient Escorts Normally Wear Nursing Scrubs Or Do They Have A Uniforms Supplied By The Hospital?

Posted on 09/14/2009 by nursing| 2 Comments

Depends on the hospital. Some wear scrubs, some wear street clothes. Some provide scrubs, others make you buy your own.

When You Are In Nursing School (rn), Do You Have To Take Nursing Classes In The Summer?

Posted on 08/30/2009 by nursing| 4 Comments

Or is it only Spring & Fall? I am trying my best to finish all my college classes & prerequisites before I even get into Nursing School, because I’ve heard that it takes up your entire day, like from 9am to 9pm just in Nursing classes and clinicals alone. Is this true? Would I have enough time to take a needed class at the college while in Nursing School?
Any advise from current Nursing Students or RN’s would really help. Thanks!!!

How Many Times Can A Nurse Fail Her Boards In Illinois And Still Have A Job?

Posted on 08/26/2009 by nursing| 1 Comment

I work as a CNA in a health care setting. Every spring we have nurses who fail their boards and then they are put on the CNA schedule until they pass. I have a problem with this b/c it cuts out possible extra money I could earn and some of the pending nurses think they are above CNA work and do minimal work at times. I work in a place where four nurses have just failed their boards, two have failed for the 3rd time and been on the schedule all year! I just recently found out that while they are not being paid nurses pay they are being compensated at LPN pay, but do CNA work. I have more education (not nursing) than both and being compensated at less. I feel these nurses should be fired after failing so many times and plan to complain if they are all added to the schedule. Am I right in doing so? I live in Illinois, but what is the standard in your state and hospital? Am I right to feel this way?
