1. LPNs Supervising RNs

   LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   The bottom line is and everyone knows that it is true that LPN's and CNA's are the low men on the pole and it is no secret. It doesn't matter if you have 1000 years experience behind you as an LPN,...

2. RN responsibilities in LTC

   LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   If have met enough to form my opinion that LPN's and CNA's are trouble and I choose to stay away from them. I only speak to them on a professional basis and that is

   LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   In all of my years of nursing I have yet to be convinced that there is a decent, trustworthy CNA or LPN out

4. LPNs Supervising RNs

   LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Piece of advice - if you are given an order by an LPN or ever told anything about a patient or resident by an LPN, double check it yourself or call an another RN or your DON. LPN's love to burn RN's...

5. LPNs Supervising RNs

   LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   When I went to LPN school, I didn't take all the courses listed because they were for the RN's not the LPN's. These classes are not offered for every LPN course - I went to the top LPN school in the...

6. LPNs Supervising RNs

   LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I disagree. RN's are taught more deeper assessment and leadership skills. I am an RN also and still wouldn't ever work under or for an LPN, end of story. LPN's don't have to take all the classes...

   I went to nursing school with a lady who was 58 and got a job working in the trauma unit of a local hospital and is doing extremely well at

9. LPNs Supervising RNs

   LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   That is unacceptable! LPN's are not equal and will never be to RN's and I would never work under an LPN EVER!!! I worked too long and too hard to be an RN and that to me is demeaning. Not only...

    LadyJRN1 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    my attitude is just fine and thank you for your concern. i am and will never be responsible for the nursing shortage. i will say after reading most of these entries that if you look the younger...

11. Nurses Past Their Prime

    LadyJRN1 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    There comes a time in an older nurses career when he/she just can't cut it anymore, but they are too prideful to get out of the business therefore making it ultimately miserable for newer nurses to...

12. Why the Customer Service emphasis?

    LadyJRN1 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

13. RN responsibilities in LTC

    LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can speak for the LPN's and CNA's I have dealt with and yes they have caused me much grief and personal mental anguish at the workplace. However, if more LPN's and CNA's knew their position and...

14. RN responsibilities in LTC

    LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I beg to differ that TITLE does make the person and the profession. How many times as an LPN were you asked if you were going to be an RN and you know that you were asked. I am very much a team...

15. lunch time insubordination

    LadyJRN1 replied to nurseulove's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. Even if one is not on the clock and the person in the bathroom was OK, the CNA should have at least helped or found other help for the RN. That is why they are called "nursing...
