  1. Nursing home job

    From my experience, punch in, get report, count narcotics, do some tx, med pass at 4:00pm, help with supper, do some charting, by that time many resident will be in bed, do some more tx, pass at 8:00, finish with tx, finish charting. Hopefully nothi...
  2. LPN vs RN

    No, since they've done this before, promoted than demoted her TWO times, she feels why do they even deserve her as a body. And she was salary as an LPN, so her 60 hour weeks wasnt even getting paid for. Everyone is upset over this on the unit. Final...
  3. med error..

    If it's not specified on the transcribed order, it's not your fault. Just like the PPD is 'usually' giving where I come from in the left forearm, it's a general 'rule.' Dont worry.
  4. Ltc

    Unfortunate to say, but I see it all the time. You should talk to managment about more training. It is your license after all, and your lively hood. You have a right to protect it. They will be upset but too bad.
  5. need a little support

    Think of it as there loss, they will have to pay them more than LPN's for the same job done.
  6. Doesnt matter, mine shut off at 107 (odd # huh?) Passed first shot. Was certain I had failed. It's anybodies guess, but good luck!
  7. Why do I always hear, why are you ONLY doing LPN?

    LPN is something to be proud of. A title does not rank capability or capacity. I know LPN's that can run circles around RN's. It depends on the individual.
  8. to atkins or not

    Yes, I've tried it and I lost 14lbs in 2 weeks, after that your body loses it more slowly depending on how heavy the person is. Stick to it, it works just realize the risks of fat and cholesterol consumption.
  9. I am so depressed

    Dont be... it's not you. I have had residents and family members like this. Overall you need to keep telling yourself, it's not you. I like to put myself in the shoes of both the family member or the resident. They are unhappy. In general a nurs...
  10. LPN vs RN

    Thankyou. I am really starting to get the big picture, as a young newly graduated LPN, I had hopes that I'd be differant but as this happens on a regular basis, I'm starting to get callused to this reality. It's sad though. My loyalty to my patients ...
  11. Please recommend me the best LVN NCLEX review book

    Saunders!!!!!! Some of my boards questions were ver-batim from the saunders!
  12. LPN vs RN

    I understand but should LPN's be shafted because the facility arent compliant to begin with? Also we are told to be professionals and care for our resident as we would our family. When someone like that comes around I believe the facility should rec...
  13. LPN vs RN

    I am currently an LPN in NY. Something which hurt me today was watching my unit coodinator a single mother with years of seniority and loyalty be demoted for an RN who has been employed for 2 weeks. First let me say that this woman has done a kick-...
