  1. Fired AGAIN!! HELP!!

    blynn replied to kwagner_51's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You might enjoy working in a clinic if you can find a doctor you will match up with well. I've seen it mentioned that you'd get more time to spend with your patients in a clinic setting, and speaking...

  2. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    blynn replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I am an LPN employed at a clinic where each physician is assigned their own assistant, be it LPN or MA. The doctors do generally refer to us all as 'nurses', I think simply because they really don't...

  3. never happened before, wonder how much trouble I am in?

    blynn replied to Judee Smudee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think that you will be okay. It's not like you knew you were supposed to come in and blew it off. People make mistakes. If your DON doesn't understand that, then she's obviously in need of some...

    blynn replied to katmiaow's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I went to Red Wing Tech, they have a great LPN program! You might want to try checking them out if the drive isn't too far. (Red Wing, MN is about forty miles or so south of St.

  5. New Grad. LPN

    blynn replied to Nursingangel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I didn't have a problem getting a home care job right out of school, of course, I already worked for the home care agency as a PCA, but as I recall they were ALWAYS on the lookout for LPNs. Currently...

  6. What should I expect?

    blynn replied to scallywags's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When you're doing clinicals with a group of other students you really learn how to work together. Be there for your fellow students and they will be there for you. Sometimes I don't think I could have...

  7. Anyone call way after their shift to tell just one more thing? :)

    blynn replied to christvs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've done that. I called after shift one time to have someone check the restraints on a patient. Everything was just fine, but I don't think I would have slept at all if I hadn't called! I work in a...

  8. Nit picky, demanding, control freak families

    blynn replied to mattsmom81's topic in Home Health

    I've been reading this thread, and it is ALL coming back to me now! I quit working home care about a year and a half ago, and I have not looked back! I did pediatric home care for about four years,...

  9. Blood in Urine

    blynn replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Could be a lot of reasons for microhematuria. Sometimes the bladder lining gets a little irritated from caffiene or alcohol or not drinking enough water. (Although you did say that the urine didn't...

  10. Does anyone love their job?

    blynn replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a love/hate relationship with my job, but on the whole, I think that there are more good days than bad. I can't really see myself doing anything else, anyway.

  11. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

    blynn replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We don't have ANY RNs at the clinic I am employed at, just LPNs and MAs. So I don't get any flak from other staff about being a 'real' nurse or not. But I do get some flak from patients. Usually it's...

  12. do any of you work in anything other than ltc as an LPN?

    blynn replied to Princess74's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have never worked in LTC as an LPN. I did pediatric home care for about four years, and now I work in a urology office. I live in Minnesota. Seems like all of the clinics in the Twin Cities are...
