  1. Please checkout "Mobbing" in Wikipedia

    Well that was definitely interesting! I hadn't heard of that concept by name before. And yet I am totally familiar with it's execution There is definitely mobbing going on at my current work. I can't think of anything proveable but the atmosphere is...
  2. leaving a job with little/no notice?

    Thanks for this post!! I will be graduating as an LPN next week! I was going to post something similar and here it is :) THanks pharmgirl, that was really helpful! Good luck to you, Shadowrunner, I bet you'll be an awesome nurse!
  6. Thoughts on Christmas scrubs...Yea or no way?

    My facility wears them (LTC), I don't though. Being a poor student for so long, I can't afford scrubs with such a limited life. And I'm kind of a holiday scrooge too :) Retail wrecked me for holidays.
  7. Preceptorship .. HELP!

    I was going to post this exact same thread today!!! I am starting in a few weeks though. I have all the same questions you do! What is a typical day like for a preceptee? It's funny that in class, the teacher likes to keep this part kind of a myst...
  8. Smoking coworkers and fair breaks

    This is TOTALLY one of my hot buttons! My issue about breaks are the 'smoker's breaks'. My facility has scheduled times when the smokers take the smoker residents outside to gasp at their ciggies. This happens at least 3 times during day and evening ...
  9. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    Wow this is an old thread! I wonder if the OP is still around and how the grand plan is developing by now?
  10. Ambien psychosis?

    I've taken Ambien with no problem. I use it very rarely, usually the night before a big test or when switching from night shift back to days during the week. I have heard of the issues though. And last week, a neighbor took his dose and wasn't as...
  11. so I blush really bad...

    I deal with this too. I'm pretty used to it by now, being of the no skin pigmented variety, it's been like this all my life. And last summer, I had to treat my whole face with a topical chemo and it seems to have permanently left the whole thing RE...
  12. Is it normal to have second thoughts?

    Oh man, GinaCat, are you me??? I'm glad you wrote this post! These are all questions that have been in my mind too. I'm done with the LPN program in a couple months and I feel like I know nothing! I've gotten great reviews on the floor but in my ...
  13. I chose the LPN route first for a number of reasons. First being the shorter wait to start the program. There has been a 2 year wait from petitioning to starting the ADN program and a year for the LPN, which I got into 2 semesters early after all. ...
  14. New CNA in a big hospital

    Since you are doing pre-req's already, could you find out what the med-surg text book is that your school is using? Now I know that they will likely change editions between now and then but it would be a huge help to you to be able to read up on wha...
  15. Things they didn't teach you in CNA class.

    They don't tell you about projectile farts in the class movies either. Got an up close and personal lesson in that last week. Which makes the lesson about extra scrubs a very good point! One man on my floor is very alert and oriented, just physical...
