   Will I lose my license?

   Lynker replied to Anonnurseee's topic in General Nursing

   I have been in similar situations. One that sticks out in my mind was also 7p-7a many years ago. She was helped to the toilet, went white and couldn't get up. BP was 60/30 (IIRC) and I couldn't even...

   Should I start working at an agency as a new grad?

   Lynker replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Lynker replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    As a past 3-11 LPN supervisor, and current 7am-7pm LPN supervisor, I totally get where this is coming from. Sometimes I get thrown on a cart if there's an absence or hole, or if someone needs to go...
