Thanks. From what I found in my research there is a physician license plate in Ohio.

Hello, I live in Dayton (a suburb called huber heights to be exact) and I have had a steady job in home care for five years. Before that I worked with hospice and in an assisted living. The major hospitals do not hire Lpns though.

Hello, if this question has been asked, feel free to point me to the thread. I was wondering if anyone knows anymore about a nurse license plate in Ohio? Last I saw from ONA was from May and talked about the "possibility" of one. I wasn't sure if there was anymore news about it? Thank you!

I encountered this once as an LPN doing home care visits. A patient told me she had "too many" issues and an LPN just wasn't "qualified" enough to take care of her. I did notify the RN case manager who defended me and Lpns to this patient and many others. Fast forward a year and I end up seeing this patient again for another admission to home care. I end up sending her to the hospital because she had cva symptoms, it ended up being sepsis. But when I saw her following that incident her husband pointed out I was the one who sent her to the hospital and I was ready for some sort of hateful comment. She told me I saved her life that day. I hope she always remember an LPN did that.

i just ripped that off my calendar too!!! love it!!!

OK Thanks so much guys! Makes sense now!

Somewhere along my nursing career I heard a sign of dehydration can be an elevated temperature. I can not find any literature to support this. Has anyone else heard this? Any input? Is it a symptom or could dehydration cause an elevated temp? Thanks!

I do know that "HawthoRNe" had a "nurse consultant" that gave advice on medical procedures, language, etc. Scrubs magazine had an article about it about a year ago. You may be able to find it on their website. www.scrubsmag.com

I worked on a psych unit while I was in nursing school and did 1:1's all the time, I worked night shift and we stayed with the patient in most cases even while they were sleeping. It gave me a perfect opportunity to study materials. Most of the time the charge nurse didn't mind because the patient was sleeping half the time anyways. Sometimes though you get patients with various psych d/o's that don't sleep. And since they were sleeping TV was out of the question because they didn't have TV's in the patient rooms. And since it was dark you have to do something to stay awake

i apologize if this is repeated information but here is a link to 'The Nursing Show" which is a podcast for nurses which is a very good podcast btw to listen to but he did an episode where he interviewed a rep for j&j here is link to the search page with all his info including the podcast episode. http://www.nursingshow.com/?s=johnson+%26+johnson

thanks so much for your responses! this definetly helps and all makes sense now!

Hi! Please only nice responses, I have done research and haven't actually found an answer to my question(s). Why would someone get persistant hiccups with a pacemaker, and what problems does this cause. Thanks for your answers!

i have found (in ohio) that a lot of companies don't post to a newspaper but will have the job posted on their website.

IMO you were following doctors orders. end of story. im not experienced in this field but if the dr was second guessed by other RNs and he stood by his order then you had no choice but to hang it. just because they dont "like" to use it is no reason to not hang it. i hope it all works out for you.

congrats!
