I just joined allnurses and think the message board is the easiest way to communicate with other healthcare professionals. I in for keeping it going. heheh

Iowa is my home, but moved out of the area about six years ago. It is the lowest paying for nurses in the entire country and not many job opportunities. Graduated from SCC. I specialize in Emergency room nursing and love it!

This board is a little slow but most of us "hang out" in other forums. I personally spend most of the time I am on here in the Student Nursing and General Nursing forums.



Who do we have here? I am a student at a community college in Eastern Iowa. I just got accepted into my school's ADN program and I start in August. I previously worked for four years as an HCA, which I enjoyed a lot.

How long have you worked in said position? I'm not currently working in a health care field.

What is your specialty? None yet and I have no idea what I want to do.

What are some things you love about your job? Hah. My current job, the only thing I really love are the people. And sometimes I really don't like them...

Any words of wisdom? Unfortunately I'm lacking in wisdom this evening. I've fallen sick AGAIN and need to get back to my studying.

Funny nursing stories? Not yet. Check with me in a couple years.

Who do we have here? Nurse from Northeast Iowa, been nurse since 2000

How long have you worked in said position? Agency nursing per diem mostly for past 18 months, full time for past 12

What is your specialty? Med Surg I used to work in small critical acess hospital where you did everything! Did OB while there, am now in process of giving up ob, just not getting enough of it anymore.

What are some things you love about your job? The variety of facilities, no politics being agency nurse. Go and do my job and leave. Pay is better also

What do you hate about it or would change about it? I do miss my coworkers from my former full time job, they were a great bunch. Sometimes hate feeling "dumped" on.

Funny nursing stories? Baby born in stretch pants, before we could get mom into bed even.

hey i need a help so scared im lpn and first year lpn well i was told today by my administrator that i will be supenia in reference to a resident who i sent to the hospital could i lose my license if facuilty is guilty and who report to board

[staceymj]

hi can someone answer a question for me im scared

[midcom]

Staceymj,

I take it that you're from Iowa since you're on the Iowa board. You probably would get help faster if you asked this question on the General Nursing Discussion board. More people read it & probably many have been subpoenaed and can give you tips. Just click on the "Forums" tab above & you'll find that forum.

Good luck. I'm new also so haven't run into this but from what I was taught in school, probably anyone who has signed her chart will be questioned. As long as you did nothing wrong & it's there in black & white, I'd suspect you'll be fine.
