1. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

   cant_not replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

   As a male, and as a nurse, I can tell you that this situation would make me entirely uncomfortable. I’m with you about feeling wired about the male nurse doing all that rubbing, barehanded, especially. I would report it. This guy may be getting off i...

2. anxiety

   cant_not replied to LargoLPN's topic in General Nursing

   I know exactly how you feel. I’ve only done agency once, and only worked for about 4 days. I hated it. I felt so inadequate, and every facility does things different, so it’s hard to fulfil your commitment/contract to the facility and agency. I would...

3. any advice for a student

   cant_not replied to LPN0608's topic in Geriatric

   I’ve been a nurse for two years, always wanted to work in a hospital but in the area I live in no hospitals use LPN’s anymore. So I was basically stuck with choosing between a clinic or a long-term care facility. I chose to work LTC because the pay t...

4. Respiratory Therapy degree offered via the internet...

   cant_not posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm thinking of finishing my RN up via the internet through the college network. I actually have a cousin who did it, and she passed her RN NCLEX the first time, so I'm really interested in this. I called and set up an interview with a recruiter in m...

5. What's the difference between being Certified and being Licensed?

   cant_not posted a topic in General Nursing

   I’m posting this message in an attempt to answer a question for my younger brother (he’s 18, high school senior.) He’s currently enrolled in a CNA course offered through the local High School. Anyway, he applied for an LPN program that starts this c...

6. "Did you just call me nurse?"

   cant_not replied to odobodoko's topic in General Nursing

   I think you may be overreacting a little, but you’re granted that right. I as a nurse take no offense to it. When I was an aide I used to hear nurses say they hated aides, never bothered me.

7. Can LPN be supervisor to another LPN?

   cant_not replied to s9t1n1a's topic in General Nursing

   I’m originally from West Virginia, and back there LPN’s could not supervise other LPN’s, nor could they be in any kind of director position. I currently reside in KY, and the Unit Manager at a facility I worked at recently was an LPN, I thought it wa...

8. Does your work call you at 0530?

   cant_not replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

   When I was an aide I worked in a 180 bed facility, and they were ALWAYS short, and I got a call almost every day to come in. I love doing overtime, but I got tired of it really quick. I just stopped answering my phone. Haven't encountered it as a nur...

9. Are Any CNA Courses Offered Online?!

   cant_not replied to Batman24's topic in General Nursing

   If you’re not required to be certified, no you won’t need to take the test. Call local nursing homes, a lot offer CNA classes (that’s usually how they stay staffed.) Also check into vocational schools. Training can sometimes be done in as little as t...

10. Is this legal???

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    I have no intentions of reporting this lady, as I cannot afford to get kicked out of my apt, and I absolutely refuse to live in on-campus housing. LoL. I was just really curious as to how this particular situation.

11. Are Any CNA Courses Offered Online?!

    cant_not replied to Batman24's topic in General Nursing

    I HIGHLY doubt that there is. CNA is pretty much hands on in the clinical environment, and you’ll need to do procedures in front of your instructor and be checked off on them in order to even be eligible to take the certification test. I was an aide ...

12. Is this legal???

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    I didnt think so. But as I previously stated, my grandmother was actually grand fathered in, but she did recieve a license.

13. LPN Cost..

    cant_not replied to BobG.'s topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I had applied to two different schools when I first decided I wanted to be an lpn; first school was 3600, and the school I ended up going to was 4500 (this was a private institution, they didn’t accept any form of finacial aide other than WIA through...

14. Is this legal???

    cant_not replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    My grandmother was actually grand fathered in, but it took 4 years (4 years for what it took me 11 months to obtain!!! lol) This was in the late 50's, and from my understanding there was a huge shortage of nurses in the area she was raised. Also, she...

15. Question for the RN's....

    cant_not replied to nursejessica2013's topic in General Nursing

    ahhh... I hate to out-right say this, but if you ever work in LTC you’ll see nurses do this a lol (if she actually did fake the vitals) I wouldn’t recommend it, I’m no ‘whistle-blower’ but I’ve actually reported people for doing it. The reason they ...
