Ok ladies lets not get our panties in a bunch. It's just a question. Honestly, if you're good at what you do then I'm glad to have you in the nursing workforce. I wouldn't mind meeting my husband in the nursing field. It may tell me quite a bit about...
The poster defn said what I think a lot of ppl feel at some point regardless of what position you hold in a ltc facility. Uninvolved families can be the worst. They ruffle their feathers up as if they give a damn but would rather watch their "loved o...

I personally would be really upset if I or someone I cared about got hirt or stuck in a blizzard trying to make it in for training or an inservice type thing. Also, I know what it is like to make it into work during hazardous conditions and then to i...

Well, those board people sure didn't have a problem giving him the run around and taking his money. Those people like to play games and leave out pertinent info. If they knew they didn't have his license from the get go, why even let him get that far...
Take pride in the fact that you are a very funny person! That, I find, makes for a good nurse, the rest is just mechanics :) I learned not to draw from my own thoughts or experiences or expectations when taking nursing tests. I strictly think of what...
I am bothered when people tell me that as well. There are so many other environments other than nursing homes that lpns can work in. The can work in hospitals, clinics, medical centers, home care, mental health, planned parenthood centers, specialty ...
Ok lindy, but what about those that get the flu shot and still get sick? Or people that have an allergic reaction to it? Or religious groups that are against injections? Should nurses in those circumstances be forced to recieve it? And if it was real...
I completely agree. I wish more healthcare professionals were like that. It doesn't matter what that patient is in for, I am a human being and expect to be treated like one. People should be a little more humble.
If you like the stories here, I suggest you read chicken soup for the nurses soul. It is full of them. Very well done. I actualpy cried reading some. They also have chick en soup for the nurses soul second dose. Enjoy!
I understand the original posters complaint. It is kind of ridiculous that all three of her clinical rotations have been with geriatric patients and the next one will be a daycare. I would feel a little ripped off. I have heard lpns in ltc say that t...
I think there is always wiggle room. At the end of the day it is someone sitting behind a desk with a pen in hand checking off student hours. Depending on how far into clinicals your class was, they honestly could have just had you make it up in one ...
I am a cna in massachusetts. Nursing programs are competitive but that's not why I chose to be a cna. I chose to work as a cna to gain healthcare experience but also so I wouldn't take any part of what they do for granted once I am a nurse. I start l...
Ps, if you wanted to try to beat the system, I heard that if you work for a sort of "franchise" type facility that has locations all over, if you start working in a high paying state then transfer to a lower paying state, they have to keep your pay t...
