   FutureNewYorker replied to RNdaze's topic in Psychiatric

   I used to be really good at catching this stuff, and understand it's from the rush of things. That's why I used to try so hard to catch it all. However, the nurses from the other shift started to get offended like I was trying to point out mistakes...

   FutureNewYorker replied to FutureNewYorker's topic in LPN/LVN

   FutureNewYorker replied to FutureNewYorker's topic in New York

   Blechkk. I'm just not a LTC kinda girl. It takes a special kind for that and I admire them, but choose not to try to be them. What are my chances of getting a clinic or Dr's office gig? The only way I got in the hospital down here anyway was be...

    MAn... down here there's no way a PCT or CNA could do my job... we do it all. The lpns downstairs even push some meds after taking a legal loophole class. I guess that's not gonna be the way of it in NY. While it's cool I'm not gonna be working m...
