   anaknisupernurse replied to Ultreya816's topic in Geriatric, LTC

2. !st LPN job nightmare

   anaknisupernurse replied to Ultreya816's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   First of all, I would like to ask what state you work for. I guess the inspectors are not scaring the hell out of your nurses and administrators. Where I work, those nurses would lose their jobs(if...

   anaknisupernurse replied to JohnBearPA's topic in General Nursing

   John, I am a male LPN, too and encounter similar circumstances. I can only wonder what things the lady said for the other residents not to take medication from you. If the lady is deemed capable, and...

5. Never understood nursing

   anaknisupernurse replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

   My mom has worked in several hospitals and it seems to me like nurses can do the things this person said. Not all, mind you but when my mom tells us what happens at work, you can't help but wonder if...

   anaknisupernurse replied to purplesdk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Let me ask my friends about it. The Baltimore area has had such a huge influx of Filipino nurses the past few years. It's wonderful! It makes the Philippine Indepedence Day celebrations more festive....

11. How are filipino nurses treated in a foreign country?

    anaknisupernurse replied to paxcristi's topic in General Nursing

    anaknisupernurse replied to tlackey's topic in LPN, LVN Students
