   Dear Linda Thank you so much for your story, maybe now I can get some encouragement to continue. I too am in my 50's, 52 to be exact and an LPN for 15 years and proud of it. You stated it so well as though you felt like the horse following in the par...

   Can anyone tell me where to get support knee hi stockings from. I am a full figure nurse with naturally very large legs, (calves and ankles). I work 12 hour shifts and reallyneed the support , but the panty hose are entirely too warm. I am having p...

3. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

   Ms.Williams replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

   Tsk tsk tsk, since when is an RN delegating to a CMA not allowed? I am happy that you have an Associate Degree but what can you do with it and when or where? I beleive you can only work in the office ,is that correct or not?

4. RN or MSN on ID badge?

   Ms.Williams replied to LeslieMarie's topic in NICU

   You have worked very hard and earned your degree along with passing boards. Wear it proudly, everyone has to learn. So your experience and knowledge will come with time , in the meantime you have graduated and have your degree, display it with pride ...

5. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

   Ms.Williams replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

   I agree 100 %. I would also lkie for someone with the proper knowledge maybe from the BON to answer this question. Who is the advocate for the patient and a FNP does not refer to themselves as a MD nor does the PA say MD so why does it have to be so ...

6. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

   Ms.Williams replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

   I hope the CMA who went through 2 years of hard training and is qualified to do what an LPN does (in her opinion) has read through each and every post and each and every response. You need to think about what you are doing and the choices you made sp...

7. Reasons Why YOU Won't Join A Union

   Ms.Williams replied to SBinGA's topic in Union

   Please explain "acting professional". I do not think nurses act unprofessional and it should not be a matter of what candidate is supported , it should be for better working conditions and such things that management are allowed to get away with such...

8. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

   Ms.Williams replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

   Many MD offices use CMA instead of RN's or LPN's and the part that really makes me furious is that not only do they refer to themselves as nurses in converstions with patients and their families, they do patient teaching , give injections call in pre...

   Ms.Williams replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

   Thank you , you have been very specific in detailing your duties. What you have described is no less than an RN does ,and what each nurse should be expected to do. Thank you. Now does everyone have a more clear idea of what an LPN is?

    Ms.Williams replied to bmackd2's topic in Disabilities

    I do not have any disabling disabilities at this time, but I highly encourage you to take advantage of your dream. What if it never comes back? That would be great. What if you just wait for it and let your dream pass you by? When you are 50 you wil...

12. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    Ms.Williams replied to bigmac018's topic in ADN/BSN

    Do you feel you are smarter than the RN who has ADN degree. Not even, I have worked side by side with those who know only enough to fill out the paper work but when it comes to critcal thinking and the most bedside care who do you think will win? If ...

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

    Ms.Williams replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

    please clarity yourself. You say it is wrong toidentify yourself as a nurse if you are an LPN. Exactly what do you think an LPn is and do you really know what their duties entail? If you do not please contact your nearest Board of Nursing, actually a...

14. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    Ms.Williams replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    Could you please think about what you just said? If a pt sees us changing their briefs they they are probably very thankful that they have a nurse who is there to attend to any their needs. It might make them feel safe and secure within our care, kno...
