1. upset about title

   rebel1 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

   that is silly- you have worked hard to get your RN degree and you deserve to be known by that title- I have never hear of CNR, I think this would be confusing for patients and other health care professionals.

3. LPN'S Supervising RNs'? How would you feel?

   rebel1 replied to cowgirl4u's topic in General Nursing

   I am confused, I have never heard of LVN's supervisors over RN's- I am an LVN and I just would not feel comfortable telling an RN how to do their job- I have been to RN school ( did not finish one course) ( stupid on my part) but I do know what they...

4. Why do so many people insist that LPN'S AREN'T REAL NURSES!!??

   rebel1 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in LPN/LVN

   There has been times in my 31 years as a LVN that I would turn my badge around because I was ashamed of just being a LVN- now I keep that badge front and center and I will gladly tell anyone who asks what the difference between a RN and LVN. The degr...

5. Night shift naps

   rebel1 replied to NiteRocker's topic in NICU

   hey Kitty, I have to agree about the lateness of co-workers. When I worked 3-11, the night was never on time and when they showed up, they had to go into the kitchen to make coffee and get a snack before counting drugs. This used to drive me crazy- o...

6. Nursing job that doesn't have to deal with docs?

   rebel1 replied to Luvbuble's topic in General Nursing

   working for an insurance company might be the thing- but I am sure that even there you have someone that has to be an wise cracker. Hold your head up- doctors as much as they like to think really could not run an hospital, office, clinic or anything ...

7. It's official, I'm stupid!

   rebel1 replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

   Pat yourself for being a good nurse-so many of us do not take the time to go over mediation and their side effects-this may in the long run leave us liable. Your patient was on the winnning end- simply because you took the time to explain what can be...

8. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   rebel1 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   I have heard that passing an kidney stone is compared to having a 10# baby without an epidural- I would say that would be an emergency-

9. new LVN

   rebel1 replied to burgandygirl's topic in LPN/LVN

   hi, check with your place of employment- sometimes -hosptials, doctor offices, etc, will pay for their employees insurance. My employer pays for mine through the same company they provides his insurance- If any of us gets sued, usually they will also...

10. starting wage for lpn

    rebel1 replied to nursespurses's topic in LPN/LVN

    here in Texas with 31 years of expierence - I am only making $20.00 an hour- I do not think that LVN/LPN ever get paid for the type of work that we do- if you are getting over $18.00 just starting out- that is pretty good.

11. No jobs for LPN graduates anymore?

    rebel1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN/LVN

    keep trying- I have been an LVN for 31 years- there is still good jobs out there for us. I remember when I was in school- they kept saying they was going to discontiue hiring LVN/LPN but everytime I look at the paper - I see several postings. I agree...
