1. Did I do the right thing?

   Super Nurf replied to nursebecca35's topic in LPN/LVN

   Anytime you see anything you think is odd, you have to bring it up. You brought it to the charge's attention, where she/he goes with it from there is up to them. Obviously there was a problem which needed to be addressed. What is needed is to find ou...

2. Medical assistants and LPNs

   Super Nurf replied to Angela Ma's topic in LPN/LVN

   Not sure but I think most nurses could test out fairly well for an ASS degree!!!!

3. Medical assistants and LPNs

   Super Nurf replied to Angela Ma's topic in LPN/LVN

   I personally believe no aide should have the responsibility of doing something another person has to be licensed to do. It surely is a labor cost issue and bothers me when I see an aide doing things like this.(Not the aide personally, but the system ...

4. Med-Surg Wasn't So Bad!

   Super Nurf replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN/LVN

   I believe any new grad should start out on a med/surg unit. When they say you can do that, you can do anything, it's true! You never know what's going to walk in the door on one of these units and it really does give you a good base for the rest of ...

5. is being an lpn so bad???

   Super Nurf replied to da_hood_model's topic in LPN/LVN

   You go girl! I get SO tired of hearing "don't you want to be an RN?". You know, if I truly wanted to be an RN that bad, I would be an RN. I really enjoy being an LPN, I am damn good at what I do and I like it. What more could you ask? I do know ther...

6. LPN Petition to Take RN Boards

   Super Nurf replied to withasmilelpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think it's a great idea, but some course work would be required, and I stress "some" not a ton. I find after all my years as an LPN I am a resource for the RNs, and I think my knowledge and experience should count towards something. I think this i...

7. I Still Don't Feel Like A Nurse....

   Super Nurf replied to mamamiah's topic in LPN/LVN

   We are only scheduled 8 hour shifts where I work, I can't imagine doing 12s on a continual basis, though it probably is something that I could get used to if I could do 3 of them a week, I'd have more time off. I did them once doing the 7p to 7am shi...

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

   Super Nurf replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think if there were as many LPNs as RNs, or more, there really wouldn't be these issues. I still think it's apples and oranges, different titles, different job descriptions, and we all should be working as a team. I have noticed in my lengthy caree...

9. I Still Don't Feel Like A Nurse....

   Super Nurf replied to mamamiah's topic in LPN/LVN

   I didn't realize that 12 hour shifts were posted, where I work we only do 12s in either an emergent situation, if a lot of staff are out on leave, or just if someone on the next shift calls in sick and they can't find a replacement. 12s are hard to d...

10. I HATE my job... what to do, what to do?

    Super Nurf replied to lovablelvn's topic in LPN/LVN

    Run Run very very fast back to your old job. I wouldn't give notice unless I had to wait a bit to go back to the old position, and then give that time as your notice. How frightening. Good luck to you and let us know what happens.

11. Medical assistants and LPNs

    Super Nurf replied to Angela Ma's topic in LPN/LVN

    We could all get along if things were the same across the board all the way around. Then everyone would have the same expectations and thus set their goals accordingly.

12. Mature LPN's Treated Unfairly

    Super Nurf replied to FrustratedLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

    I too am a very frustrated LPN. I've been in it for 20 years, have worked many different areas to learn as much as I can, and I'm finding now I am being passed over for certain jobs because I cost too much!!! I've been looking for an office job withi...

13. Medical assistants and LPNs

    Super Nurf replied to Angela Ma's topic in LPN/LVN

    I see assistants in offices that pretty much function as LPNs, and I've also seen in assisted living where the aides pass meds, which bothers me. Why aren't LPNs as organzed a group as RN's are? ! LPNs have to be licensed to do a lot of things and to...

14. If you won the lottery, would you continue to work?

    Super Nurf replied to Natingale's topic in General Nursing

    I would volunteer my time and nursing skills to a free clinic. Definitely.

15. Home Health Work

    Super Nurf replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in LPN/LVN

    I looked into home health a while back and was finding that the LPNs were having to do 8 hour shifts with difficult patients, almost a one on one type of thing. That definitely wasn't for me so I didn't accept the job. This type of situation wouldn't...
