About PixxieDust

PixxieDust has 17 years experience as a LVN.

I have been an LVN for 13 plus years and have enjoyed most of it. I have decided recently to go to school for my RN and hammering through prerequisites now. Being an LVN has had its ups and downs for sure. Overall it is a noble and good profession. One that doesn't get the respect it deserves for reasons most of you know about. I have had to really bite my tongue. The reason for going for my RN is more doors will open to me and I want to continue doing what I am doing. I know that once I get my RN I will NEVER treat an LVN the way I have been treated at times! Some were awesome and some were just the opposite. But I LOVE being a nurse and caring for people. I have been a caretaker in many respects my whole life and can't imagine anything different.

  1. Order transcription

    PixxieDust replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    One dose had been given. Yes. But also company policy is that when you sign off on a telephone order or any other order that means you have created a MAR along with it. So therefore if someone goes along and re-does what you have done and makes a mis...

  2. Order transcription

    PixxieDust replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    I am aware that the medication order and MAR are two different things. So I transcribed the order onto an order sheet and it was a telephone order. But that’s not the point at all. The point is that I wrote it on the MAR and that is now missing. The ...

  3. Order transcription

    PixxieDust replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    I transcribed an order and put it onto the MAR. There was no error in what I did. I stated that in my original post. I signed off on the order naturally because I am the one who took it off. That MAR disappeared and someone else redid it by typing it...

  4. Order transcription

    PixxieDust replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    Kitiger, RN- exactly! Thank you. As I stated, I signed off on the order and transcribed on the MAR. The other nurse threw away my titration MAR in the shredder from what I’m thinking. We are a small facility so that’s the only place it could have ...

  5. Order transcription

    PixxieDust posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day at work I noticed that an order I took off from a doctor had disappeared out of the MAR. It showed I signed off on it and the page that I had a titrate on was ripped out and someone had typed it instead. I don't know why they did it. I ...

  6. LVN not wanted

    PixxieDust replied to Susycute's topic in LPN/LVN

    Good morning! I wanted to chime in because I have been in your shoes before. I was a nurse 12 years when I started working with MA's. I had been in detox nursing, sub acute, wound care, etc. A good amount of experience! The MA's were not MA's nearly ...

  7. A REAL Nurse

    PixxieDust replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect Ryan, if it isn't about "WHAT" the nurse wears, then Gucci sounds good to me! I don't mean to be contrary or rude. I just meant that there are all types of nurses. Some deal in patient care, some deal with admin. It doesn't make ...

  8. A REAL Nurse

    PixxieDust replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is great for you that you are actively practicing. But give sis a little bit of credit. Sounds like she has a lot of admin stuff to do! That in itself can be a huge challenge.
