    Lol. This is so tacky, yet hilarious to me!

    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    I can admit I'm a sucker for a certain brand of candles and quilted bags. To me, those are my luxury items.

    People who don't look before flushing (#2)

    I love the story about the beets! Reminds me of the time my sister ate the whole damn red velvet cake and went to her doctor in a panic. I'll admit I take a gander. It's mine, after all.

    colleague does not want to take day off

    I'd say this nurse has a great work ethic that many people don't have these days. I only wish I worked with at least 2 people like her. Unless this nurse is coming to work ill and spreading germs everywhere, or anything else that puts staff at risk.....

    Shadow People/ghosts at work

    I worked in LTC for many years, and would see white images floating through the hallways on the colored monitors all the time. Never saw dark shadows.

    What is your dream unit?

    I would like to work in a clinic with a pediatrician. My ideal job would be to work in day surgery. The problem with both of those jobs is they are day shift, and I absolutely despise working days. So now I work on a med oncology floor. I enjoy prov...

    He/She Said What!?

    The unit clerk at the nursing home I used to work at referred to LPNs and "little peon nurse" and she needed to talk with the RNs (real nurse). I was an LPN at the time and was floored by that, since the majority of staff were LPNs.

    Why did you come to allnurses? What made you stay?

    I hate to admit this, but I actually came here to read about the PVT. I was an LPN for many years, and I really wish I known about this site while I was a student in the bridge program.

    Time Paradox of 12 hour shifts

    My friend (coworker) also works nights, but mostly on my off nights. We still manage to get together once or twice a week. Sometimes it's after a shift, or we'll meet for breakfast if one has worked and the other was off. And sometimes it's both of ...

    This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    This week I learned: 1. Just how awesome it is to have a friend/coworker who also enjoys a cocktail after working the night shift. Long islands at 0800!! 2. Having a severely depressed friend who routinely gets his cell phone service cut off sends m...

    COB rollcall

    I think I might be a COB in years, but definitely in my state of mind. Graduated from LPN in 2001. Got nice and crusty for 11years. ASN in 2012. BSN in 2014.

    7:30 meds? Who is responsible for giving?

    Our PCA's on night shift take the morning blood sugars. I'd only give the insulin if the breakfast tray is at the bedside. There aren't many meds scheduled for 0730 for this to be that big of an issue. I would just give it with 0700 meds around 0630.

    7:30 meds? Who is responsible for giving?

    No I don't. And the 0700-1930 nurse that I follow does not give 2000 meds.

    7:30 meds? Who is responsible for giving?

    My shift is 1900-0730. I give 0730 meds. I pick up a few more patients from pm shift at 2300. They will give any 2330 meds before they clock out.

    Patients wants a back rub

    It was taught in my LPN program. We even had to place the bottle of lotion in warm water. That was years ago. I'll do it if I have time. And it has been my experience that the patients asking were pretty creepy.
