  1. I love being a nurse because........

    Because I get the satisfaction of making a difference in someone's life, either helping to ease their pain, making them more comfortable, or just being there to hold their hand and easing their minds. It is what I love the most....a simple thank yo...
  2. CNA Info

  3. Questionable practice

    Omg! I can't believe there are people, especially nurses, out there that would treat another human being like that! Who cares what a person has done outside of the hospital in the world? A patient is a patient no matter what he/she has done. Nurs...
  4. Are there any LPN/RN students/grads. who worked full time

    I worked full time while I was in school. Its hard...but when there is a will....always a way. I just work enough hours to keep my full time status (for insurance, etc). But the place I worked would let me off if I had to study for a "major" test....

  6. Sending residents to the ER without a doctor's order.

  7. CNA's slow me down

    I was a CNA for 10 years before I became a LPN. I understand how hard the job of a CNA is and now understand how hard the job for a LPN is. I too work in LTC. I work mostly the 3p to 11p shift, so ya'll know that we have more residents to staff r...

    new balance shoes are the only ones that i can wear and my feet not hurt. the #608 are the best for me because they are cross trainers. i'm diabetic and i've got to take care of my feet! these shoes are really comfortable and do not bind my feet at a...
  10. New Grad..start LTC in a week. Any advice? :)

    I too was a CNA in the LTC facility I am now working as a LPN. At first, I did have a few problems with some of the other aides working under me as their LPN. I felt they did not take me serious and tried to take advantage ( like taking extra break...
  11. Help am New DON FOR LTC

    I am a LPN in LTC. I ALWAYS do a pain assessment when one of my CNAs come to me about a resident in pain. When I do my documentation on the resident I gave the pain meds to, I always put the name of the CNA who reported the resident's pain, the fi...

  15. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    I am definitely in it for the caring. The money isn't bad either, but I worked as a CNA for 10 years. You know I love the pay increase. I've always wanted to be a nurse. I went into nursing for the love of taking care of people. It's what motiva...
