2. nurse & dr affair, what should I do?

   Sandi0302 replied to sandee's topic in Relations

   Was is everyone attacking the original poster for her opinion? There really isnt anything one can do about situations like these unless they do actually effect the workplace, but, then again, doesnt it? How can you concentrate just on work when you...

   Sandi0302 replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Amen. I worked in a Level 1 Trauma center ER for four yrs (Not as a nurse, but as a tech), and EVERYTHING you said is true. I think we all had a love/hate relationship with it...loved the challenge, different things everyday, but high burn-out rate...

6. Do you belong to an Nursing Association?

   Sandi0302 replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

   What does a nursing association do for you? Any perks? I have also heard that LPNs cannot join? (If that is true that is re-damn-diculous)

7. Who here did LPN to RN?

8. Nursing & website is depressing!!!

   Sandi0302 replied to SeanyRN's topic in General Nursing

   I dont think it is this website that is depressing to me, but how nurses themselves eat each other alive. I think it is NURSES who dont respect nurses, not people in general. I have been given nothing but respect from non-nurses for being a nurse. ...

    Sandi0302 replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an ALF, and ours is NOT like yours, but we have a nurse who came from a similar facility where the aids were "universal" workers and served food and such...which in my opinion is too much. In our facility, they get assigned residents, brin...

14. RN's who cover an LPN

    Sandi0302 replied to yumaRN1990's topic in General Nursing

    Oh geez, are you insinuating that because THIS LPN didnt know what she was doing that ALL LPNs dont? I didnt judge the RN that didnt know what to do when her pt's blood sugar was 54 , so don't judge someone just by the title. Personally, I dont thin...

15. Pregnant and can't lift?

    Sandi0302 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Lifting a pt is different than lifting a box. No one, pregnant or not, should be lifting a person on their own. That is the way people get injured. As far as lifting while pregnant, the first trimester is the most critical, and the tri where the ri...
