2. Fictional vital sign charting

   cehhw replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree with "WDM08002" and "The Dreamer".....While working for agencies, I've unfortunately seen this happen frequently on various jobs, by RN's, LPN's, & CNA's. I've often wondered if it's b/c they are so stressed and swamped.

6. Needing an honest answer

   cehhw replied to EbonyBorn2Succeed's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with you Ebony...I know what you're attempting to get across but I'm not articulate enough to write it out. In this country, business first, people second.

8. The attire debate - what should nurses wear?

   cehhw replied to talaxandra's topic in General Nursing

   I in no way meant to be nasty. After re-reading my note I agree I forgot to address the uniform issue. Which would have been: in my humble opinion clearly seen name tags are sufficient. As a LPN myself I wear all types of scrubs and our name tag i...

9. The attire debate - what should nurses wear?

   cehhw replied to talaxandra's topic in General Nursing

   LPN's aren't considered (real) nurses in my neck of the woods and in fact they mainly work in LTC facilities. Hospitals have pretty much stopped hiring them unless they are in the RN program.....and a lot of facilities are offering tuition for their...

14. Scared Of Bullying

    cehhw replied to prospect's topic in Relations

    :redbeathe If you couldn't be a nurse what else would you like to be? Well pick that. I actually agree with you. Nurses can be so judgemental to work with. Not all of them, but enough that it may or may not be a problem for you. So search your h...
