1. Can You Tell Me Your Story........

   TJ920 replied to RN 2 B's topic in LPN/LVN

   When I started CC for "nursing" you didn't pick LPN or RN. It was one continuum program unless you elected to drop at the LPN level after the first year of classes. You went through Funds 1 and on to your bridge courses for the 2nd year. Well tow...

5. Blood Glucose Monitoring w/o Dr.'s orders

   TJ920 replied to kels764's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think it's funny that this is even an issue. Of course the facility is covered to do a PRN blood sugar on someone who is symptomatic. Why else, without an order or outside of the routine orders, would you check someone's glucose? Unless this chi...

6. Trouble with seasoned nurses?

   TJ920 replied to AprylLPN's topic in New Nurse

   i work with a lot of brand new nurses, both new hires and practicum students. in my years of nursing experience, i've found a lot of the new nurses come out of school with the attitude that they already know all there is to know. i know this doesn'...

7. Another thread on lazy CNAs

   TJ920 replied to catlynLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   i am actually amused by this thread because i am a night shift nurse and have many times run into the same problem. i have a mother/daughter cna duo who work for me almost every single time i work. the daughter is fabulous... the mother on the other ...

8. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

   TJ920 replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

   When I was a nurse tech, before I was done with school, I took care of a lady on a surgical floor. I was helping her with her bath on the morning of her discharge and she said... I'll wash as far down as possible," I said, "ok." Then she said, "you...

9. Family Members

   TJ920 replied to vonxojn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I really wasn't intending on making anyone angry with my post. I'm newer here and assumed it was a place to "vent" and receive some comments and/or advice on our issues, not be attacked. We learned, some time ago, in nursing school, that we were not...

10. Family Members

    TJ920 replied to vonxojn's topic in LPN/LVN

    i don't think it has so much to do with the patient or family being ignorant as much as this incident obviously offended you. maybe the issue is more with how you feel as an lpn than how this woman/man treated you on the phone. professionals would ...
