   Nursey916 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   So I work at an adult day care and I'm the only medical professional in this building besides a PRN nurse that we have come in when I need a day off, which isn't very often. Anyways, one of my patients is extremely obese and his blood sugar is out of...

   Nursey916 posted a topic in Agency

   I have a question. I work for a nursing agency and put myself down to work evening shift tomorrow weeks ago. I just realized today though that I have an important event to be at tomorrow. I tried cancelling my shift for tomorrow and my recruiter (she...

3. Why so many negative nurses in the field?

   Nursey916 replied to Nursey916's topic in General Nursing

   One can still be positive without being fake, the two don't go hand and hand. And I'd much rather be around upbeat people than those with terrible attitudes ANY DAY OF THE WEEK whether they are being fake or not. That negative energy is contagious an...

5. Why so many negative nurses in the field?

6. Why so many negative nurses in the field?

   Nursey916 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm by no means a new nurse, been around the block for awhile now...but why are there so many negative nurses? Don't get me wrong I'm not saying ALL, I've met some who are just sweet as pie and so helpful. I recently started a new job though and yet ...

7. Do employers ever drug test on the spot at interviews?

   Nursey916 replied to Nursey916's topic in Recovery

   Well jumping on my post telling me I deserve to get busted for smoking pot is rude. I stated very clearly that I have stopped and would never smoke while practicing so why are the extra comments necessary?

   Nursey916 replied to Nursey916's topic in Recovery

   I have a hard time understanding why people jump on other peoples post to say rude things. Like get a life. You don't know me or my background, so why dont you take your judgemental rhetoric elsewhere. (in response to Zyprexa)

10. Do employers ever drug test on the spot at interviews?

    Nursey916 replied to Nursey916's topic in Recovery

    Well actually a relative of mine is a parole officer and is gonna give me one of his drug tests that he uses to test his parolees. I'd assume they're just as good as the lab ones as being on parole and having to submit to random drug tests are no lau...

11. Do employers ever drug test on the spot at interviews?

    Nursey916 posted a topic in Recovery

    So I haven't practiced in the last few months, I took some time off to travel and relax. I spent a lot of my time with my sister who lives in Portland though where marijuana is recreationally legal and I smoked quite a bit while I was there. I set up...

12. Anxiety ridden over LTC

    Nursey916 posted a topic in Career Support

    So, while I was in LPN school the theory part was great, I made good grades and passed the nclex the first time. The clinical part however, was absolutely terrible. I feel like I learned pretty much nothing. I've always had anxiety about working as a...

    Nursey916 replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN/LVN

    All these comments are repetitive. I Don't know why people feel the need to type out paragraphs upon paragraphs when it's already apparent I have receieves many answers to my questions.

15. Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    Nursey916 replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN/LVN

    Because I knew in the back of my mind that what I was doing was "unprofessional"....but I didn't know to this extent and I wanted some clarification from other nurses.
