1. Better to Resign, or be Terminated?

   LPNMary replied to mahroya's topic in Career Support

   Suspension is a tactic used to gather more concrete information to fire a person, without leaving out any pesky missed details. I'd rather be flat out fired than put on suspension.

2. Storing possesions

   LPNMary replied to harleyrn83's topic in Travel

   If you don;t need something to the point you need to store it, get rid of it. The money you save by not storing stuff can be used to buy new stuff when you need new stuff. Blows my mind what so many people pay for storage for basically junk- American...

   LPNMary replied to txrn23's topic in Travel

   Hey Ned, curious about something- other than the shock of any RN making $15/hour- what effect on SS contributions annual income look back? Do stipends factor into what these travellers receive as income, for purposes of SS?

   LPNMary replied to momandstudent's topic in Geriatric

   Even on admit certain peoplel should be evaluated for restorative, even without therapy orders. As far as getting paid for it it's possible in certain situations, but not for the long term. Many restotaive activities are done by nursing staff day to...

   Might want to talk to a lawyer if you don't feel a fraud charge won't complicate things for you.

6. Anything new in the foot care business? Updates on your business?

   LPNMary replied to NC29mom's topic in Entrepreneurs

   Are you sure your city/town/county doesn't require a business license to conduct business? A nursing license is not a license/tax permit to coduct business.

7. Mistakes Are Inevitable: No One Is Perfect.

   A calming thought to ponder for those among us that realize their imperfections, from the Emerald Tablet circa 3000 B.C.: As above, so below. As without, so within.

8. Written warning for a care plan written prior to my employment

   LPNMary replied to LTCNS's topic in Geriatric

   Welcome to MDSLand.... As far as those legs being amputated, may or may not be a significant change- not enough info is at hand. (For instance- someone who hasn't walked in years or maybe is end stage of life?). But as far as it being careplanned or ...

9. Joining the military as a nurse

   LPNMary replied to jvacc's topic in Government

   When I joined the Army as an LPN way back they told us we would all be promoted to Warrant Officer after 4 years. When 4 years arrived (Reserves), they gave us excuse after excuse for not promoting any of us (other than to SP-4), and from I hear here...

10. Charge nurse hates me? and overall nasty attitude of coworkers

    LPNMary replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Relations

    I forgot who penned this tidbit: "Working with coworkers you don't like in a civil fashion while remaining at an emotional distance is called professionalism. Such a demeanor is infinitely superior to the phony pretense of friendship that has been su...

11. Joining the military as a nurse

    LPNMary replied to jvacc's topic in Government

    It is expensive so there ought to be a way to let people know what they are getting into. The 'introduction to basic' we had to watch was far removed from reality- and in my platoon alone 8 or so people didn't make it through basic, and there were 5 ...

12. Joining the military as a nurse

    LPNMary replied to jvacc's topic in Government

    I think people should be allowed to complete basic training in their military branch choice before they have to commit to signing on for good- it would allow them to discover whther or not they can endure the life, give up much of their free thought ...

    LPNMary replied to duffye2's topic in New Nurse

    I'm from the old old school in which the application and interview process was more civilized and professional, and applicants weren't treated with disdain, as though they were a nuisance to emplyers. In today's world I think it would be offputtin to...

14. Do Nursing Schools see expunged records

    LPNMary replied to OSUFan1's topic in Criminal

    Shouldn't nursing schools have access to the same information that the ultimate BON will have access to? Does it seem logical that a school would allow a student to go through nursing school, only then to find out something in that student's past wil...

15. Monthly changeover MAR/TAR:

    LPNMary posted a topic in Geriatric

    For those of you that still use this method (paper) of records that need changed out at the start of the new month- what is your med error rate? Who verifies the validity of the possibly 1000's of orders that accumulate, change, expire and ec. during...
