1. Changing Nursing for the better; what can we do?

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to Altruisticnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Aside from what everyone else says, which is all very true: Management that listens, Coworkers who are more competent, etc... I think the major issue is not something we can so easily change, unfortunately. A lot of the "burnout and tiring" that nurs...

2. Working after some people

   lvlissl2ebecca posted a topic in General Nursing

   Well, I know that this is petty in the big scheme of things, but sometimes you just have to vent, ya know? I don't say a word about it at work, as its not something to stir up trouble about, however.. it bothers me sometimes. So, here goes, in scener...

3. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think that I could handle his stressors, and mine as well, which is what I would be doing when he comes home every night exhausted and fed up with his patients etc..... it just wouldn't be a good mix. However, if I had the opportunity to meet...

4. Entitled Generation

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to javajaydon's topic in General Nursing

   To the OP. I guess I would be part of the so called "entitled generation", however when I interviewed for my first job, I did expect to be hired for nights. However, I do prefer nights. On the other hand, you say that when you were out of school, new...

5. Young Nurse becoming Old

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to lvlissl2ebecca's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for your posts. When I said "Young nurse becoming Old" I by no means meant to say that those who are older don't deserve holidays off or enjoy them as well. Please do not take it that way. I meant that my spirit about my job once fresh ...

6. Young Nurse becoming Old

   lvlissl2ebecca posted a topic in General Nursing

   This is just something I feel I need to get off of my chest, and there is no better place to do it than here. I'm 21 years old (as of Aug. 27th). I do drink and like to have fun. However, I started my job in October and have not been myself since. T...

7. Aides and Nurses - Different Outlook, Lack of Understanding

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to Weeping Willow's topic in General Nursing

   I am now working as an LPN at the same facility I worked as a CNA for 2 years. I now supervise some of my co-workers. One of the questions on my interview to return to the facility was "Say one of the CNA's you used to work along side of did somethin...

8. The Doctor said WHAT?

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I don't think anyone here has the right to tell the OP that she/he was "out of line" as each facility, person, and situation is different. Those of you who are becoming agitated at this... why!? Maybe you're old fashioned and still in the Nurs...

9. Impaired Nurses

   lvlissl2ebecca replied to SR@csi's topic in Recovery

   When I was younger, I had a run in with the law. I was 17 years old and just graduated High School. I hung out with the "cool crowd" and yes, marijuana was one of our past times. No, Not an every day thing.. I was by no means addicted. The days that ...

10. things you wish you could tell the doctor

    lvlissl2ebecca replied to celery's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, You don't want me to call and wake you up at 2 a.m. anymore? Fine, You can just use all that extra money you get paid to be on call to pay another doctor who WILL give a crap. What do I think should be done about this? Well, I can tell you what ...

11. Not enough attention to BMs in nursing today!

    lvlissl2ebecca replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    One of the first things I do when I get to work is grab that BM book that has all the recordings for the BMs in that month. I check who hasn't had one in 3 days or more and write it down in my "Lax" list. While I'm doing my first med pass, I'll stop ...

12. Gving all the meds all at once?

    lvlissl2ebecca replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing

    I just dont understand why its able to be this way in LTC? Obviously, this is a widespread problem and facilities everywhere are known to have this issue. It presents a real problem. I would never do it, but there are people who do. The problem is mo...

13. Gving all the meds all at once?

    lvlissl2ebecca replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your post. I think I will give it a try as I thought about this thread last night and what I said about them thinking obscenities and then I thought... why do I care? Atleast I can give it a try. So, thank you for your insight. I don't m...

14. Gving all the meds all at once?

    lvlissl2ebecca replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing

    I did not mean for that to be taken so literally. Of course I know they are not "My" CNA's and dont work "For me".. but I figured you would catch the meaning behind it. That was a little too hostile of you for my taste. I simply meant that they work ...
