3. Are you kidding, texas nurses?

   lorrie posted a topic in General Nursing

   While reading the post "how much do you make" I ran across a few posts from Texas nurses. When I was finished reading all the posts I was ready to pack up and move to Texas. I cannot believe that RN's could make 91k a year, and the cost of living w...

   lorrie replied to Tim-GNP's topic in General Nursing

   lorrie replied to panda_181's topic in Humor

   You know you're a nursing student when: The only clothes in your laundry basket are white uniforms and those hideous pentifores. I wonder if i can ever still wear my street clothes?

6. Has a doctor made your day?

   lorrie replied to duckie's topic in General Nursing

   Pizza is the way to my heart, I would have loved that doctor forever. In alabama, we too have a tendency to use sugar, honey, etc. so i would have taken " good lady " with a grain of salt, smiled, and ordered pizza. The doctor I work for usually bu...

7. ICU panic button

   lorrie posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a LPN for about two years, so I am not totally clueless of what's involved in patient care, although I am still very green. I am also finishing up my RN degree. We started our ICU clinicals last week for my RN. Oh my gosh, I was so los...

10. Any LPN's out there?

    lorrie posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day I went for a job interveiw for a LPN position and was asked by the interveiwer " Now do you know how to take a blood pressure?" I probably looked like a truck hit me. I was so stunned by this question. I have also been in situations ...

    lorrie replied to NurseNikki2001's topic in General Nursing

    When I took boards about two years ago, it was a little bit of this , and a little of that. It was pretty evenly distributed among all areas of study. Good luck!!

12. outraged at TV show ER

    lorrie replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    I did not see that ER episode. By the time I get home I'm like if I have to hear one more medical term or get emotionally involved with another patient I am going to scream. However, I have been unintentionally sucked into Gideon's Crossing. That i...

14. Injections--- Who can give them in Texas?

    lorrie replied to Lyssakaye's topic in General Nursing

    LPN- licensed practical NURSE. I do not know about Texas in particular, but just about every other state in America allows LPN's to give injections. That was basically the idea of going to nursing school, having pharmacology and medication administ...

    lorrie replied to dixiechic's topic in General Nursing

    dixie this is very odd but this is exactly something i have been up against myself now for a while. it is very scary that unlicensed personnel are perfoming the exact same tasks as a nurse. a person off the street could watch a doctor do a cardiac ...
