    Floor_Nurse posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    The way that this Covid vaccine works is quite different from the flu shot. The Covid vax. is not a (dead) bacteria or virus being injected into your body. (With Pfizer & Moderna) RNA (called...

    Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    Floor_Nurse replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Isn't it odd that the federal government has granted legal immunity from liability to Pfizer & Moderna if something goes wrong with this particular vaccine? And now, there are numerous...

    Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    Floor_Nurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you of another nurse I knew who was targeted. First of all, he was dispised for being a male among so many female nurses. Then, after being late for work once or twice, he let his nurse...

    Method 3 Challenging LVN-Help

    Floor_Nurse replied to mgarryrice's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I've seen an interview question like "Tell me about a time when you did something bad". Just be yourself. When you pass the NCLEX (yes, you've got this!) then...

    Ethical Dilemma with Vaccine PPE?

    Floor_Nurse replied to CABGpatch_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The place where I work gets supplies (based on insurance companies approval) paid for by Medicaid. What you have described sounds like Medicaid fraud. Supplies that are intended to be used for one...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    Floor_Nurse replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Covid shot must be given in an environment where trained medical staff are nearby in case of an acute reaction. A friend of mine (a nurse) was working in the hospital two weeks ago as about 1700...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    Floor_Nurse replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "SummitRN" stated that no one has died after receiving the Covid vaccine... that's not 100% true. According to the CDC's own website, "2,509 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a...

    New LVN grad, any advise?

    Floor_Nurse replied to Lexi1020's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't "job-hop". It takes time to build a decent resume. Even if you're locked in with a good job, longevity is a plus. Read the orders several times when dealing with dangerous drugs like...

    Overworked LVN. Should I quit?

    Floor_Nurse replied to iisonia66's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It seems like some nursing homes can't keep good nurses for long because they burn them out. There's a lot of jobs out there for LVN nurses and it's not unusual for a new nurse to "hop" around until a...

    LPN program, moving out of state

    Floor_Nurse replied to Nursethingz's topic in General Nursing

    Both Georgia & Texas are compact states, but you should pass the NCLEX in your current state first. The Texas BON is in Austin...200 miles south of Dallas. There's an abundance of nurse jobs in...

    It sounds like you'll do just fine with home health, even though there's a big difference between peds & elderly patients. But sometimes taking care of a trach/vent patient in a home environment...

    Need a job! LVN with stipulations

    Floor_Nurse replied to Cary Dawn Sanders's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There may be some home health agencies that will accept you, since you're license was actually reinstated. Perhaps you can go to the BON (333 Guadalupe St., Austin) and get the "stipulations"...

    Is Home Health Stable Work?

    Floor_Nurse replied to moomin's topic in Home Health

    I've been in home health care for over 2 years. I live close enough to a large city that I have always had work. But it's worth mentioning that some patients are located in far away, rural areas and...

    Ditto. I know it seems a bit cruel, but you can't be friends with patients & their families once you clock out and leave your shift. Otherwise, you'll be opening up a big "can of worms" and you'll...

    Fingerprinting - Texas BON (Non resident)

    Floor_Nurse replied to LRillorta's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The Texas BON has very rigid rules and regulations. If you do things "their way" then everything should be processed as expected, or perhaps a bit faster (sometimes). You're at their mercy, but that's...
