  3. Hospice nurse "survival kit"

    Hi all! I am a crisis care (continuous care) LPN that works 12 hours shifts. Our department is having a picnic to help promote department morale and camaraderie. We will be having games and door prizes. We will be giving away smaller prizes, and one ...
  4. I totally get what dajulieness is saying. I'm a hospice nurse and do all one-on-one care and when I'm cleaning a patient all I try to think about is how much better they're going to feel when they're clean and how much better it will smell when I'm a...
  5. So my heart broke when I saw this patient....

    I did something like this yesterday. I'm a Hospice crisis care nurse and my pt the last two days lives in an ECF. Her husband is her roommate. My patient herself had no problems with the facility food but her poor hubby came back from each meal in th...
  6. Wow, now what?

    My insurance company would have given us a discount on our auto policy if I was an RN, but because I'm an LPN we did not receive the discount.
  7. SAHM of 2 young kids wants to be a nurse. Realistic?

    I started LPN school and went full time while my kids were 2 and 5. Now they're 3 and 6 and I'm in RN school full time and work full time. It's definitely doable, you just have to be committed to being organized.
  8. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    None of us Nurses would be Nurses, and none of the Doctors would be Doctors, if it wasn't for Teachers!!
  9. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    I'd choose to marry the man I did. He's a blue-collared worker that gets his hands dirty every day and works his butt off. You know what he has to offer me?? A warm hug on the worst of days, a secret wink that means he thinks I'm sexy even in bed hea...
  10. Did I Miss Something?

    Geez, AngelfireRN. Didn't your vows say "to have and to hold, to honor and cherish, to wash your dirty underwear, and have a hot dinner on the table every night - all while working a very strenuous job?" Where did you get married?? LOL You put it ver...
  11. YOU did it!!!

    Awesome post!! Congratulations to you!! YOU did it!
  12. Did I Miss Something?

    My daugher would be "African-American" I guess - her dad was from Cape Town South Africa and I was born in raised in Ohio... but she has blonde hair and blue eyes and painfully pale skin. LOL
  13. Did I Miss Something?

    It doesn't matter that I do cook for my husband probably 5 nights a week... my family and my husband's still make jokes about "Why did you even bother to put a stove in that kitchen since she never cooks?" Luckily my DH sticks up for me... he'd bette...
  14. Frame for RN license

    I purchased a floater frame. The actual frame is probably 10 x 13 inches and my 8 x 11 certificate (I don't get a paper license either) "floats" between two panes of glass. I found mine at Kohl's. http://www.kohls.com/upgrade/webstore/product_page.j...
  15. New grad with no clinical skills

    I just graduated from LPN school in April. I don't know what it's like everywhere else but here nursing schools are popping up everywhere - and these schools are fighting for clinical locations. When a school is finally let into a facility for clinic...
