You don't know nothing about me, kid. Don't make assumptions. Belittle? please. I'm speaking that damn truth. Maybe if you have more experience, you'd understand. As for the turd comment? Well... let's just say it's good thing this is an internet for...
Duh...of course it can be done. But you try doing everything by the book 5 days a week (excluding overtime and doubles) and see if you can keep that up. Don't work hard, use your brain. What? you believe is killing yourself slowly physically and ment...
Listen. I work acute and LTC and you know what? I've notice the habits of both types of nurses the past 14 years. That's 14 years! I know what I'm talking about it. What? you think I'm a post-dot.com nurse?
Hoo-ah! Are you motivated and dedicated? Army Reserves by-the-by. Graduated from good ol' Fort Sam ( Delta Company or Psycho Medics) back in the early 90s as a 91 Bravo. Currently a Whiskey Mike Six. Hoooooooo-ah!

Thank god my co-workers and I are one big family. We don't have crap issues like that at my hospitals and we watch each others back ( CNA'S, house keepers, kitchen, managers, visitors, licensed, docs, and so on.)
Of course! What do these "State" people think? We're super nurses. If you want to be perfect all the time, go get a home health job where you only have one patient to take care of. Better yet, work ICU.
Either way, 99% of nurses working LTC don't give a rats butt about assinine policies (this is the damn truth too). Here's one policy at my hospital: Never take medication from another resident to give to another resident. My take on this? whatever! i...
Uhh..yeah. I'm sure we're all going to go out and smoke every day, have a fracture, and leave our pills lying around (label that damn cups) without bothering to tell the replacement nurse what's in those pre-poured meds. Ummm.yeah
Damn right. Ever try assembling an AIDS patient's cocktail meds? Takes me like 5 minutes to get all those anti-viral meds ready along with their other meds (pain meds, psyche, vit, stool softners, appetite stimulants, etc).
Look, you're not in a acute setting( residents tend to be more stable), so it's cool. Just as long as you don't make major medicine errors, you're fine. Now, if the States around...
That's sad. I got closer to my fellow soldier LPN classmates towards the end of our 2 year practical nursing program. I guess it's different in the RN program with all the advance classes. I still see some of those fools at my unit once in a while. S...
