1. No one's hiring LVN's these days

   sweetface replied to sweetface's topic in LPN-RN

   I'm sure you might get arrogance anywhere you go. RN's work hard at getting to that level and I'm sure resent an LVN with less schooling to be doing the same job. However, if the RN you mentioned above would 'critically think' she would realize the...

2. $9.00 per hour as LVN in Orange County?

   sweetface posted a topic in California

   I am about to start nursing school and a good friend of mine said her sister went to LVN school and could only make 9 per hour and decided to quit being an LVN. I told her that hourly rate sounded more like MA or CNA in southern CA but she said it ...

3. Is there power in the color white?

   sweetface replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

   I'm going off what my other RN friends say as well. They feel there is power in white as well. What I think is odd is that the elderly nurses on this thread think there is power in white and some others, but if a student nurse agress she is all of...

4. Kaiser versus the 'Others'

   sweetface replied to Fiesta Red's topic in California

   My sister was an Opthamology Tech in Sacramento and really liked it despite her crazy manager. Her friends who were RN's really loved their job but Kaiser is notorious for poor management.

5. I can't get a job, i'm so sad.

   sweetface replied to Lmex's topic in LPN/LVN

   The salary ranges you posted BigB were for RN's right? What about LVN's. Does the state hire LVN's?

6. Can nurses wear skirts?

   sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

   And QJ, thanks for allowing me a place in the nursing world. It does take all kinds and I'm pretty rare:) I think feminism is a great thing, but when it comes to emasulating men in spite of feminism, we are out of line. Any woman who is in her power...

7. Can nurses wear skirts?

   sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

   Good enough. It's the scrubs that look unprofessional and sloppy and anything unisex to me is sheman material. Not that the nurse is a sheman herself. Remember Saturday Night Live, Pat? Scrubs remind me of Pat. They are great for OR because it'...

   In my experience, the more spry the man was the more older he got. If there is life kicking in his veins, good. I don't think all men are sexist, but most are - put a bunch of men together in a room regulalry and you will see the chauvenism and se...

9. Can nurses wear skirts?

   sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

   Your making the article I mentioned my own statements. I think any woman who is making a point to be presentable and clean, fresh is being feminine or aka 'pretty'. They don't have to be Barbie. I've seen some women in all white who are not my idea o...

    sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it's sexist. I can't change men and most are in their weakest moment if they are not behaving. And when are sick people at their best? You can google it. I think my search words were, can nurses wear skirts? It was an interesting article...

11. Is there power in the color white?

    sweetface replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    oh i get it ruby, more than you you know. for some reason those who are conservative and like tradition threatens you. my opinion counts as a patient as well as a to-be nurse. my good friends who are rn's don't like white but they don' take it pe...

12. Is there power in the color white?

    sweetface replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    Are you not serving a patient by helping them get better? Are you not helping or serving a doctor by following his orders? I attend hospitals where a good % of the nurses are nun's. They do have an attitude of servitude and their attitudes are imp...

13. Can nurses wear skirts?

    sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    Again, your taking it too personal. If a man is spry enough to whistle that means he's feeling better and should be going home soon. I don't take it personal. I doubt a whistling man would be dying on my shift. Of course I don't have a chip on my...

14. Can nurses wear skirts?

    sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    I can see there were many assumptions made about my post. I was going to be a nun 6 years ago and so I wear A line skirts ONLY. My father loves women looking like women. Actually he makes the nuns at the hospital blush at times. I don't have issu...

15. Can nurses wear skirts?

    sweetface replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    Even in the most messiest of circumstances a woman can still be feminine even if the job isn't. I just came from 16 years of engineering working with all men and that is NOT feminine. However, we all define feminity in our own way and beleive me, I f...
