Psych nursing is not a "breeze" either. you dont have to clean up poop or puke or even give baths. However, you DO have the clients who come to your office that need a bath, smell like poop or puke. Not to mention the clients who commit suicide or attempt to do so. it is very emotionally draining. you get yelled at on a daily basis about something or other, every thing that happens with your clients is your fault some how. you are going to have to "work" no matter what you do......if you dont want to work......... DON'T BE A NURSE. i love psych nursing.........and i've done EVERYTHING as a nurse of 24 years. maybe you should rethink the nurse thing

bump!!!

I worked in a skilled pediatric facility for 15 years so i have plenty of disgusting, gross stories to tell. No only have i had trach loogies spit in my hair, my pockets (to find later) and of course an occasional one in my mouth. THE most disgusting thing i saw was a patient that had gotten up in the night and went to the soiled utility room to drink from the dirty hopper with feces in it with his shoe.

i like the free pens from the drug reps. lol

I Worked Every Friday Saturday And Sunday 6am-6pm As An Lpn And Went To Rn School M-th. I Had A Two Year Old And My Husband Worked Second Shift. Graduated With 3.85 Gpa Took 21 Credit Hours Last Semester And I Was Pregnant At That Time. Whew!!!! Glad Thats Over

Don't ever, ever apologize for being an LPN. I was an LPN for 9 years. I learned more in those 9 years than i could have ever learned in ANY school. I worked in a skilled facility with g-tubes, trachs, IVs, you name it we had it. I decided to go to RN school simply because I was tired of training and teaching the RNs supervisors hired to be my bosses about skilled care!!!! NO KIDDING!! BE PROUD OF THE JOB YOU DO NOT THE LETTERS BEHIND YOUR NAME. GOOD LUCK.

As a former Director of Nursing and nurse manager. I totally agree with Ann

My class was the last class to actually "sit and write" boards in Indiana before everything went computerized (i believe) 1993 I was scared to death that we would be the first class to sit for computer boards-I was scared to death of the "c" word (computer) WOW am I old. Oh yeah not skeered anymore!!

i believe women are women and that's what women do especially if they are threatened by a "smarter, stronger personality nurse" nurses are considered "professionals" so therefore we shouldn't gossip and back stab----wrong it's our nature. the unfortunate men who work in our field are "sucked" in to this dilemma too. in a factory this behavior is acceptable because they work in a factory workers and aren't professionals. women are women. nursing 101 "nurses eat their young"

I loved wearing my cap. I EARNED the right to wear it. I graduated in 1984 from LPN school and was 19 and thrilled to make $5.50/hr with shift diff on mid nights. OH YEAH i worked for 4 months without a license. OOOOOOOHHHHHHH how things have changed.

i still make my bed at home with mitered corners and a toe pleat and pillowcase opening away from the door. OCD I KNOW!!!!!!!! LOL

ok it's less than one week from Halloween BRING ON THE GHOST STORIES!!!
