  2. Dropped Pill - Do you give it?

    WOW, I must be part of that crusty old bat thing. I am retired, but I can't believe that any of you would consider giving a dropped pill. What are nursing students being taught? Back in prehistoric times, you'd know the answer without asking. Back to...

  4. Titer??

    Yes, my MMR, came back negative. Was given another MMR injection and another titer was done. It came back negative again. My doctor at the time stated in a written note that I was immunized even though I had a negative titer, and that no further immu...
  5. Patients Say the Darnedest Things

    Confused 90 year old male nursing home patient, to my straight laced charge nurse, as she helped clean him up. "If this was alive, I'd stick it in you!" Maybe too racy for this contest? We all laughed until the tears rolled down our cheeks.
  6. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Please tell your "coworkers" I am retired now, but I worked for 34 years as an LPN, and we were busy doing our jobs. We didn't have time to discuss the weight of our coworkers. I was chubby then and I still am, so what.
  7. Refusing a case in home care

    Hello, in NY State we all call it Home health, just because you call it private duty, which we use for nurses who do Medicaid nursing, see each area has their own definitions. If you are not comfortable with a case, you have the right to refuse. I b...
  8. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    Good lord, you continue to speak of this as if it has one iota of truth to it. It was started and spread by a UNION!
  9. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    Before I told you the true culprits of this phase out nonsense, I had to find a link to back me up. I knew some of you would jump to defend the truly culpable starters of this sentence.I am totally sick and tired of reading on Allnurses. I have been ...

    I graduated from LPN school in December of 1979. In 1980, some people tried to tell me that story. Guess what, in July, I have been retired for 2 years....for 34 years I worked as an LPN. Every time I hear that nonsense I want to . It's not true, it'...

    Mommy says this is how it's done, she showed me. It doesn't hurt, really!

  14. Nurse Retention

    You say it's a small place, have you looked into how long time employees treat new comers? I worked at a small hospital at the beginning of my career. There definitely was a small core group of nurses/cna's who had been there forever. Some were kin...
  15. Medicaid pay rate for PDN LPNs in New York State?

    No, they take their share before determining the RN/LPN rate. The only down fall of being paid that way is that you have to pay your own taxes. I've seen a lot of former co-workers who changed to private duty medicaid, in the paper for not paying tax...
