4. Feeling called to nursing...some questions

   nursienurse_81 replied to mgra328's topic in General Nursing

   I believe where you are in the country may make a difference. I work in Tampa, Florida and we are begging for nurses (especially nurses with experience). I am an RN in the hospital. I work PRN which is wonderful since I have a small son and I only...

5. Did i handle this situation correctly???

   nursienurse_81 replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

   I would have given the patient the 25 units he requested then rechecked his blood sugar later according to the insulin you gave him. If it was still high I would explain to the patient the need for the remaining insulin. If it was low I would docum...

9. I would like to say

   nursienurse_81 replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

   Sometimes I think RN's are unaware of the way LPNs are treated not because it doesn't happen, but because it doesn't happen to them. As an LPN I have been called a "Little Phake Nurse", a "Low Paid Nurse", a "Little Pretend Nurse", etc... So it doe...

11. Do you say you're a nurse...

    nursienurse_81 replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

    Comparing LPN to CNA because the word nurse is in the title is a very bad analogy because the "a" in CNA is the word assistant. A "nurse's assistant or aide". When CNAs are working they are the assistant or aide to not only the RN but the LPN. LPN...

    As a matter of fact, I have. Unfortunately, the board of nursing in Tennesse isn't open 24/7. In the meantime I just posted a question. By the way... Tennessee has websites so people can utilize them. Also, how many times have you used the "low-t...
