1. BSN or LPN? soon to be mom

   SweetBabyLPN replied to peppapig123's topic in General Nursing

   I'm an LPN and I say if you can afford to do the BSN AND have support while doing so. . . GO FOR IT!! Absolutely! My circumstances didn't allow me that option but if I could've, I would've. I enjoy being an LPN and I make a very good income but one ...

3. RN assigned as a CNA

   SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   IDK. I guess maybe i'm so opposed to it because the idea is just foreign to me. I've never really heard of this practice, let alone seen it and I don't (personally) know anyone who has. Maybe it's a hospital practice? (I work sub-acute). Either way I...

4. RN assigned as a CNA

   SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I think that's really dependant upon location, facility and/or union (or lack thereof) membership. Of course if you live in a 'right to work state', then Yes, you absolutely would run the risk of getting fired. I'm just saying that everyone els...

5. RN assigned as a CNA

   SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't miss it. Just didn't see the point in adressing it since if that LPN was anything like this LPN, she refused the assignment. They try to get over on who they think will let them get away with it and in this case, the OP was their sucker. Sor...

6. RN assigned as a CNA

   SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   You have the right to downright REFUSE an assignment you don't feel comfortable with. Your Nurse Manager may not like it, but that is your right. Next time, when you express your discomfort with an assignment and explain why and she just says "what d...

   I agree. What a shame that we as nurses don't even have our OWN backs. . .

    Oh, sorry. I just realized you're from Canada. Not quite sure how things work up there. . .

11. need some advise regarding workplace harassment

    SweetBabyLPN replied to hardware syndrome's topic in Relations

    Sounds like they're trying to punish you for filing that grievance. If I were you, I would DEFINITELY get my union rep involved but I would also start looking for a new job ASAP! There is not much your union would be able to do unless those incidents...

12. Take job offer or keep looking?

    SweetBabyLPN replied to ChloBear's topic in Geriatric

    If you really need the income, I would take it in the meantime just to have a source of income, but still keep job hunting. While you are there, if you feel like some of their practices could put your license in jeapordy, then hey, you could always r...

13. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    SweetBabyLPN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily, because the orange you pulled could have still been part of the mixed box and you just happened to have pulled an orange as opposed to an apple. Assuming however that the orange is from the mixed box, the box labeled orange could be ...
