Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooh, they're red, white and blue. And when the band plays "Hail to the chief", Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no, Yeah! Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord, don't they help themselves, oh. But when the taxman comes to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no. Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord, And when you ask them, "How much should we give?" Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one. It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

  1. Long shifts = Higher levels of burnout

    Lot's of people seem to be fond of 12 hour shifts, I am not one, because let's call it what it really is, a 13+ hour shift, with inadequate breaks. Add a commute to this and your looking at a 14-16+ hour day in a heartbeat. Numerous studies have show...
  2. I want to do well in nursing school...any advice

    Nursing school is easier than you think it is. Spoken like someone who has never been. Guarantee this troll isn't licensed for anything. Nursing school is easy, tell that to the 26 people in my freshman class that didn't make it. You're quite obvious...
  3. I want to do well in nursing school...any advice

    See if you can transfer into an RT, OT, or PT program. Seriously. You'll make TONS more money, not have to know half as much, and probably won't suffer a life crisis in the process. I remember when I first went to CNA school, I was unsure whether I w...
  4. Too soon to feel burnt out of LTC?

    LTC can be a new grad's worst nightmare. It is hard work and is certainly not for everyone. I've worked in both the hospital and the nursing home setting and let me tell you, there are nurses at the nursing home that could work circles around the nur...
  5. You absolutely need an order to give baking soda and water. Your unit manager put their job and license on the line doing so without a doctors order, and I would report it. The only exception would possibly be if the family brought it in and gave it ...
  6. Blood after foley insertion

    18Fr? Seems a little large unless the pt has had an indwelling for sometime. None the less I have a pt that is straight cath'd q 6 with a 14Fr. We tried an indwelling initially, and he pulled it out. Not sure how well rounded you are on urology, but ...
  7. 5 Months with my LVN license & still NO JOB

    Alot of nurses, RN or LPN have trouble finding a full-time position after graduation. It occurs to me that those who have the most difficult time have the least amount of experience in the field. That is, they may have gotten their CNA/STNA license, ...
  8. New Grad Quitting After Less Than a Year (advice!)

    Honestly, do not worry about it. Before I became a nurse, I worked in the wonderful(sarcasm) field of business management. Turnover is common in EVERY industry, ESPECIALLY health care. As long as you are professional, you have no worry. Be sure to gi...
  9. Horizontal Violence - EMT's and Paramedics VS LPN's and RN's

    As for education, I did all of the core classes for nursing prior to paramedic school. That was two years. Plus a year of EMT school and a year of paramedic school. I have an associates degree and I have taken the same core classes as any adn. And no...
  10. Horizontal Violence - EMT's and Paramedics VS LPN's and RN's

    Thank you LVNbayarea. This is the exact point I am trying to make. First if I give report to the dispatcher, it is the dispatchers responsibility to relay this to the medic, which apparently they don't do, so I again give report to the medic, then af...
  11. What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    Devil, I apologize. Your state is different from mine. From the Ohio Board of Nursing - "In Ohio, the term "advanced practice nurse" refers to someone that is a certified nurse practitioner, certified nurse- midwife, certified registered nurse anesth...
  12. What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    "You should be sure you know what your are talking about before calling someone a liar." From the AAFP - "Current Academy policy on NPPs stipulates that these providers should always function under the "direction and responsible supervision" of a pra...
  13. Pearsonvue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 3

    The Pearson Vue trick is legit. The computer knows if you pass the exam or not immediately. Actual licensing status is pending through the state BON, because they don't get the results immediately, unlike the testing company. I researched this vigoro...
  14. What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    Devil, please do not take this the wrong way, BUT you just said "I earned my title, I have my independent autonomous practice, and I'll fight for both. Why won't you?" Last time I checked, NP's must be at the very least, in collaboration with an MD...
  15. The Political Nurse Speaks

    "so how did this make you anti-choice? you know that abortion isn't "anti-baby" right? lots of people that support a woman's right to abortion understand the majic and beauty of birth and life." I'm going to stop you right there. I am not "anti-choic...
