  1. should I be mad?

    We spoke w/ the center med director today, and he said that the phlebo had no business in saying what she did about costing the company money to go to the hospital. thanks again, guys!
  2. should I be mad?

    thanks, everyone. It feels better to know that I wasn't overreacting. I'm so new at this and everything.....It just seems to me that if you get hurt on the job, you get evaluated right away. Just because the phlebo was this employees superviser, it d...
  3. should I be mad?

    The medic who saw the girl fall wrote the report. the phlebotomist was the girl's supervisor. The manager of the center, who was on duty, felt that the employee should go to be evaluated, as well. I looked up the policy in our manuals, and it said...
  4. Celexa issues?

    I've been on a few different anti-depressants, and most of them made me feel "disconnected''. I have taken celexa. It's one of the meds that didn't work for for me. I get N/V, and really tired whenever I take a new med, too.
  5. should I be mad?

    I'm a recently Licensed Practical nurse and I just started a new job. Not at a hospital, but in a donation center. One of the employees at the center fell on her back and hit her head. When I got there, a medic who just started was already with he...
  6. Lack of daycare or neglect?

    kind of off the subject. How do you stay professional and appear non-judgemental when a case like this is presented to you at your facility. I havn't had to deal with anything like it, yet, and I don't know how I would react.
  7. Lack of daycare or neglect?

    There's ALWAYS something that you can do. If she had to, she could have told her boss that she didn't have daycare. If the store wouldn't help at all, she would have been better off not working there. People get help from social services, friends, ...
  8. How Did We Survive?

    My parents put me on a motercycle and rode on the highways with me between them. I was 1 or 2 at the time. That's scary. I was also left alone to care for my brother by the age of 10, when the 'rents were at work. They didn't think they had a choice...
  9. How Did We Survive?

    My son is 2 and he has figured out every gate, latch, or lock we've put up. I guess it slowed him down though. Maybe. We just watch him, and keep the REALLY dangerous stuf out of reach-knives, cleaning products. Now he tries to climb the cabinets an...
  10. Can you take food to the NCLEX?

    Hi and good luck to you! I took mine on Thursday and found out on Monday that I passed!!!It took me one hour. I thought that I had failed.......anyways, you should have gotten a bunch of papers with the rules of the test site and info about the test...
  11. any suggestions??

    No way to tell. I took my boards (lpn) on Friday, March 31. It took me an hour. I thought that I had failed for SURE. I found out yesterday, that I PASSED!!! I was told over, and over, that a short test time means that you did really good, or real...
  12. Few questions about Med-Surg nursing...

    I graduated from an LPN program in Dec. 2005. I had an instructor just like your's. I got along with her, but most people didn't. They even filed complaints. You just have to suck it up and go along with whatever has to be done. On the floor, ...
  13. White Pants Underwear Woes

    We were told we HAD to wear white undies. I found that nude ones work better. We had to tell our instructors that nude-colored undies work better. People of color should try to find underwear that is close to their skin tone- white is noticible on...
  14. Age when you had your first child?

    My son was born 3 weeks after my 21st birthday. I didn't get that night out drinking to celebrate turning 21!! But it has worked well for hubby and me.
  15. Marriage and Nursing school ?

    I was only in LPN school, but most of my classmates had marriage issues. There's so much financial and emotional stress during the whole process. If you're new to the healthcare profession, it's a completely different culture. It was hard for me t...
