   anniv91106 replied to grantchatt's topic in ADN/BSN

3. Stupid q's: Has smoking cigarettes kept you from getting a job?

   anniv91106 replied to mls4455's topic in Activism

   And what if all smokers cared enough about the health of themselves and those around them to quit (or not start) smoking??? That would put tobacco growers out of business. It would also radically raise the overcomers' self-esteem. Then there is the ...

4. Questions about tuition reimbursement from work?

5. LPN working CNA shifts??

   anniv91106 replied to Julie1963's topic in LPN/LVN

   "on a weekly basis" (see comment #1) is not occasionally. Those aides should file a grievance because you take their work and get paid a lot more. That would also help protect the number of union jobs. Do job bids, classifications and content not cou...

6. License Dilemma-LPN with new RN license

   anniv91106 replied to Sassy5d's topic in Ohio

   Something strange going on here. ...represent yourself as an LPN with an RN license...that doesn't even sound legal. Would your work be grossly different, in practice as an RN, than it was as a LPN at this facility? Can you hold both licenses concur...

7. LTC facility, can an LPN adjust TPN?

   anniv91106 replied to angelabLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   When did TPN become a LTC issue? Thought that was an acute care or even ICU field.

8. Are LPN's being phased out?

   anniv91106 replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN/LVN

   Has it always been out of LPN scope or has the scope changed at some point?

9. Are LPN's being phased out?

   anniv91106 replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN/LVN

   Do you mean they won't be allowed to push a cardiac med. or do an initial assessment?

10. Are you content with being an LPN?

    anniv91106 replied to supermommy1030's topic in LPN/LVN

    If non-bargaining unit RN's are taking bargaining unit LPN jobs it is a union thing and requires union approval at all levels. Are you active in the union that you credit with protecting the job you now have? At the times you are "promoted" is there ...

11. Are you content with being an LPN?

    anniv91106 replied to supermommy1030's topic in LPN/LVN

    What union do you have and is there an RN union where you work? Do you think a lot of LPN's in unions have been replaced by non-bargaining unit RN's?

12. LPN cancelled everywhere in AZ but GWCC

    anniv91106 replied to MarkinAZ's topic in LPN/LVN

    What is the proof of the statement: Hospitals make the bucks Feds (state) with a full RN crew. The only way they can go gold.???

13. California RN-staffing ratio law is threatened. See letter to legislators.

    anniv91106 replied to scecile's topic in Activism

    is it rn- to- patient ratio or nurse-patient ratio???

14. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

    anniv91106 replied to txhopeful13's topic in ADN/BSN

    And to think they did this without a RN/pt. ratio law! When are nurses (mostly women) really going to stand up for themselves?

15. LPN working as MedTech and Don't Like It

    anniv91106 replied to Steph26's topic in LPN/LVN

    Who supervises you at the ALF? Do you feel you are learning? Who makes the decision to give or hold a BP med. for instance, if the residents' BP is low?
