Thanks to all the nurses that replied. Just a little update: yes, I am a "working" supervisor, always jump in to help but this nurse works 3-11 and once I go home, she sits.....this has been told to the DON also by more than 1 witness. Anyway.......i...
I am a supervisor & have documentation of one of my nurses not passing meds.....proof, signed on the MARs for routine narcotics given but no narcotics signed out of narc box. Also, copies of med cards from day to day that no meds have been punche...

it really irks me when I hear a MA say "I'm Dr so&so's nurse" NO, you are not his NURSE. Yes, he lets you do everything I do but that still doesn't make you a nurse. I have a license, you do not. I do everything a RN does too but that doesn't mak...
My fave nursing bumper sticker........"I'm a nurse, here to save your a$$, not kiss it!" LOVE that one. My fave non-nursing......"I brake for hallucinations" the guy driving it looked like Jerry Garcia :)

Count yourself lucky, where I work, we have 40 pt's, most with IV's, tube feedings, wound vac's etc. with 2 nurses and a unit manager on 7-3 shift, but come 3-11, they drop it down to 1 nurse (and she's usually a new grad that doesn't know any better...

LOL, I used FB to get my point BACK to my boss :) I knew someone on my "friends" would run right back and tell her what I said and I wanted her to know sooooooooooo. But, there is a federal law against firing someone because of "generalize" things...
WoW!!! Thank you ALL for the info. May be rethinking this relocation thing. LA looks like such a great place to live but you can't live if you can't work. I have an awesome job (aka great pay) right now and as a LPN in FL, I've NEVER had a problem g...
Thanks for the insight. I do have family out there but not family I would stay with I don't think I would move anywhere w/o having a job lined up 1st anyway..........lookin' into the traveler/contractor thing. Thanks again for the info, it help...
2 things I believe in........Keep your friends close & your enemies closer AND a leopard never changes his spots, soooooooo, make nice with this nurse, go apologise that maybe you were mistaken yada, yada and then sit back and watch :) If he's ...
I recently had the same thing happen to me, a "friend" from work reported to my boss some of my venting about my job as a supervisor but didn't get the whole story straight. Needless to say, I no longer "friend" ANY co-workers. Just not worth the has...
I'm moving to Los Angeles in the fall and wondering if anyone out there can tell me the employment situation out there for LPNs? Also, does anyone know of any Travel Agencies that hire LPNs for travel/contract jobs? Thanks for any insight y'all :)
Mine is that a male nurse is a "Doctor".....two nurses can walk into a room and if one is male, the patient immediately pays attention to the male nurse assuming he's a doctor........errrrr, he could be a student for all they know and just because he...
Is there no end to your prejudice? "My point is that the LVN or LPN has no authority, experience or ability to run the show." I know this Topic didn't start off about LVN/LPNs but dang! I've been a LPN for 20 years and a Paramedic for 30 and I'm pre...
