   Thank you everyone for the awesome responses! I am trying so hard to put my foot down and not take more shifts than I want, because I know it is a slippery slope. I really appreciate all of the advice and you all helped to ease my mind.

4. Am I being selfish?

   magn1jes posted a topic in Relations

   I work CASUAL in a small clinic. I am here for the experience, because I like it, and mostly because I want to stay home with my child as much as possible. I love my coworkers and really don't mind helping out, but we are short staffed, and one of ou...

   My mom recently had a major surgery and is in the hospital. She was given a roommate which was later found to have MRSA. They did move my mom to a different room and they were together less than 24 hrs, but during that time my mom was without her ban...

6. How to study/learn medications

   magn1jes replied to cindirella3's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hello there Cindirella, do you still have your Pharmacology text book? I would read over that... at least ours doesn't have a TON of medications in it (not like the drug guide, anyway). During our class we had lists of medications we had to make n...

7. NDSU: LPN to BSN? Anyone know anything about it?

   magn1jes replied to magn1jes's topic in LPN-RN

   Thanks again for all of the responses! I am certainly hearing mixed opinions about this program and it is making me question whether or not to look into it more. @ fa/lpnMN09 - do you have any LPN to BSN programs that you WOULD recommend?

    Hello all! I just graduated from an LPN program this summer and took my boards today. For the most part, I have been a stay at home mom during school, but now that I am done I am not sure what to do. My son is 14 months old and we are thinking of t...

12. I'm a PRN nurse... just wondering, what's it like at your place?

    magn1jes replied to SnowboardRN's topic in Geriatric

    My first CNA job was in a LTC facility and I was (supposed to be) PRN. I had the same problem as you... some days I would get called to work EVERY shift! It was very stressful and I couldn't seem to get away. I always felt terrible saying no and e...
