    School and Other Closures to Control COVID-19 Pandemics

    Well, it's really crazy. The way I see it, if you don't have anything going in in one end, there's not much gona come out the other end. People have their priorities turned around.

    Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    Surely not everyone will need hospitalization . Some people don't even show SX's, and some people recover easily with minor treatment. If people will stay home a bit more, avoiding crowds, and practice good hand washing , maybe most people can avoid...

    Would this be considered abandonment?

    That's really bad, but they pull that bs on people all the time. But it's kind of hard to leave, all those patients needing a nurse there, and needing their meds and all. And if you have the keys, who are you,gona turn over the narcotic count and the...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19): We Want to Hear from You

    Exactly. They think. Oh , I,just have to run out and pick,up few things . I'm not that contagious. I won't be close to anybody. Thing is they sneeze or cough, and somebody else walks thru that airspace and the spread has gone further. I honestly sta...

    Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

    I couldn't do a back flip if I rolled up like a roly-poly and tried to roll one out . I only went to LPN school, so I guess that makes me a nerd. But I dont care. I did the best I could with time, funds, and family obligations . Retired now, so I'm g...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    WOW!. That is rough . I worked about 40 years as an LPN, in 3 different states through that time. I was never late, not one time. I was taught in nursing school, you get up and be there, on time. I even worked 2 jobs at once for awhile, and looking b...
  12. My mother met and married her last husband in the hospital she worked in . was a horrible marriage, but they were together until he passed 2000. I think about 25-30 years. I never did understand though, what she saw in him. But it was her and not me,...

    They locked up all the masks in security ?

    I don't think they know everything about this virus right now. They say you don't need a mask,if you're not sick . I've read and seen people on tv spraying and wiping down surfaces, so they are thinking you get it by touching surfaces contaminated wi...

    Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    Can you nicely, sweetly, ask them what their degree is and where they went to school?
  15. It's hard for me to believe that actually is happening on a wide scale.
  16. That's what I was kind of thinking. Why are they asking that question. to see if you admit to one or not? They would probably,think You're lying if you say you,haven't made a mistake. So I wonder what their reason is for asking that.

    Does Death Have A Smell?

    WOW!. I wish now I could go back in time and see, connect and remember . I know there were many times I would get an odor stuck in my nostrils that would take days to get it out .

    Terrible experience with nursing staff

    Maybe this is why so many people want to come to the US. Among other reasons, of course .
  19. Just my thoughts, as a new grad do,you have enough confidence to,be writing his progress notes? Seems to me you wouldn't have anywhere enough experience to do someyhing like that . I'm only a retired old LPN, but that sounds fishy to me . I wouldn't ...
  20. Heck no, not me. I get there in time to put my purse away and do the narcotic count with off going nurses, and restock anything on the med cart that might need restocking . each shift was supposed to do that at the end off their shift, and empty the...

    Arrested..need advice

    Wow. That is alot of baggage to carry around. At least you admit to what you've done. I would think you have a long difficult climb up out of that deep dark hole you've dug for yourself . I do pray for you that you can do it. Jesus can help you get o...

    On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?
