  1. I need to quit this job

    The last place a nurse should ever be is in the home of a patient without having been given report. And to top it off your stating that they are probably video taping you as your puttering around their home asking their family to give you report? Get...
  2. LPN over RN

    I originally planned to get my ADN at a local college, I finished the prerequisites, took the teas and was put on the waitlist. I even retook A&P and had a pretty decent GPA 3.7 and still didn't make the first cut. People in school where on their...
  3. LPN over RN

    HA! I needed to address this post... Some of your advice is not based on experience whatsoever, rather it's an inaccurate opinion on a nursing program you have never completed and a job you have never even done. Not to mention it's rather rude to im...
  4. Turn Q2 and patient refuses

    Just chart the refusal and the education that you gave regarding what can happen. Other than that, what can you do. Patients do this all the time and they have the right to.
  5. Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    This is uncalled for and ridiculous! Who reported you? Nighttime meds were not popped and they decided it was because of you? Nonsense. If I ever find a cup with meds left from last shift I would mention that to that nurse next time I saw her- unless...
  6. The ridiculousness of LTC/SNF

    My head is pounding reading through all this... did I miss in there if you have CNAs? If you do can't they do vitals? With the exception of patients on perameters of course. That is just way too much work for just you alone. We have wound rounds on t...
  7. Seeking feedback on LPN School...

    LPNs in CT cannot start IV lines, can not hang blood products but can be the second check for the RN hanging the blood, we cannot push IV meds... You have been contemplating LPN, RN for as long as I've been on Allnurses... years and years at this poi...
  8. Can't find a job! No job opportunities!

    I did not state that anyone on this post said LVN is a waste of time, rather I said some people on this SITE have been known to take that stance. And if you've been here long enough, you already know this. My advice came after reading her newest post...
  9. Can't find a job! No job opportunities!

    My suggestions stem from her recent post stating she just had an interview with a SNF and held off in the past applying to such places due to nerves and lack of floor experience
  10. Is that so ?

    Yeah... run don't walk to the exit. Facilities are responsible to cover the costs of treatment for injuries incurred without the proper documentation. In CT it's called riskwatch. The state will have a field day during survey time and if I were you I...
  11. New LPN in LTC with backlash due to Res. on alert/monitoring

    Brandon, don't you need an order in place when placing an intervention such as scans in the TAR? At my facility other than interventions such as Q shift vitals it wouldn't be considered negligent not to sign off on a TX based on individual opinions o...
  12. LPN verses MLPN?????

    Why would Ohio make a licensed nurse get an additional certification for medications when they are already licensed to do this? I get the IV certification. I've never heard of the MLPN title
  13. Can't find a job! No job opportunities!

    Guys she wants to know what to do about now, I'm sure she'll need to find a job, regardless if she decides to go back for RN. Don't feel bad about having your LVN. As you've probably seen on this site there are a few that love to go on the LPN/LVN co...
  14. First nursing interview!! Advice for potential first nursing job.

    Your first nursing job is always exciting! my floor has 30 beds and we average about 27 most of the time. Ask what their ratios are. Ask how much training your entitled too. Will you be floating? Be sure to get enough shifts so that you have your res...
  15. When do you say no.

    I don't understand your post Floor_nurse Nothing is ever "almost" illegal, especially in healthcare... and it's always the responsibility of the nurse on the floor to know how each and every one of their residents ambulate and their diet. The nurse s...
