    What are my options outside of a hospital setting?

    Right? Me too! OP I am an LVN in outpatient case management. Our last 3 new case managers have been RN not LVN because of the new Health Homes requirements. Do not count out clinic nursing as the land of just the LPN/VN or the CMA.

    hiring pregnant RN

    I just got hired into my dream job very very visibly pregnant. They know they only have like 10 weeks of orientation then I will need to be out. I was upfront with them that I'd like 8 weeks leave. They were really really open and understanding of...

    Wonder Wink or Grey's Anatomy scrubs?

    I don't fit well in Grey's, I'm too curvy for them I think. I love Wonder Wink. I also like Gen Flex by Dickies.
  4. I got a call today that I'm mostly likely going to get my dream job (just trying to figure out the logistics of employing an LVN in a job that has always been filled by an RN) based mostly on the volunteer work I've been actively involved in for the ...

    Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    Just another point to ponder: years ago I failed not one, not two, but three pre employment drug screens. Each time I failed the on site and when the sample was sent out I failed still but for some different reason requiring a retest. Each time I ...

    Taking home empty vials

    I've see some really cool vial cap art.

    A Headache is not an emergency

    I had one once that I was sure was a stroke. The ED was seriously concerned it was as well. True migraine is no joke. Lots of people believe they have "migraines", most don't have much more than a yucky headache.

    Stanford Rape

    Well, since I was raped on a church outing, as a young girl, if I followed some of your logic, the answer would be to not send my children to church ever and to never attend church myself. The real answer is to actually punish rapists for their crime...

    Stanford Rape

    Can you let the youth group leader who plied me with alcohol on a church trip and told me what he was doing was okay in God's eyes know about God's intentions for sex? Because I was 13 and really quickly was really drunk, but he kept telling me that...

    Nurse to patient ratio for LTC.

    The highest I've done is 40, with 3 CNA's, 6 total for the facility, plus an RNA on shift through dinner and activities assistants on shift through the hour post dinner that can double as sitters. That facility is 80 beds 1/2 rehab, 1/2 LTC. Usuall...

    New Grad, SNF job

    Yup, it's why I left that facility. It was a PM shift too, not a NOC. It happened often when the LTC nurse called off. I just got stuck doing all my rehab pts and half the LTC.

    New Grad, SNF job

    I once threw a total hissy in the Med room after I was told I would have 40 pts for the night because the LTC side nurse had called off and the 2 rehab nurses (myself and another) had to split her pts) and I was also going to be down CNAS. I just sa...

    Noncompliance diagnosis

    If pt is adhering to regimen they are by definition compliant.

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

    It shouldn't matter what anyone has told you, it should matter that you've done your duty and you and whatever provider you are leaving are comfortable. The provider I work with most often and I have an agreement that I stay if he's doing a procedur...

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

    Ok, so it's not abandonment which is what I think you fear OP. Try thinking of it in terms of handing off care in an acute setting. When I (in my clinic) hand the provider a prepped chart and tell the computer system I've prepped the pt and handed ...
