1. Are LPN and Associate RN degrees really being phased or rumor??

   janice o. lvn replied to ish84's topic in LPN-RN

   I've been an LVN 12 years now an I've seen this before but not like this. Make no mistake, the ONLY reason hospitals are going to "Magnet" status is to increase their reimbursement levels as Medicare requires it. Bottom line...it's all about the mo...

   Well, unless your friend plans on going in to some kind of office position she is in for a rude awakening. Nursing is about total patient care and if she is going to be primadonna about it she won't get very far. Trust me.

   No one works for free anymore do they? They abolished slavery a long time ago didn't they? I know at my hospital they want us to clock out at 1930 whether we're done with our work, charting whatever and work off the clock until we're done. I for one...

   janice o. lvn replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

   Yes I have actually and it really sucks because once they have it in for you you are out no matter what you do. The worst part is that you have NO recourse. Some of these instructors on just on big power trips and haven't been working on a busy flo...

7. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

   janice o. lvn replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

   OMG! That's a new one! Wonder how many Code Red's it's going to take before they stop this.

8. I think I just ended someone's career

   janice o. lvn replied to Asystole RN's topic in General Nursing

   No you didn't end her career, she did that all by herself. You did the right thing! Very sad but now hopefully she'll get the help she so desperately needs. Even sadder are the people that threw things at her. I hope they were disciplined as well.
