    LovebugLPN replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    LovebugLPN replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

  15. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    LovebugLPN replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    The residents can call them whatever they want. I had one who called it his "banana hammock". Do any of you feel that I should call it that since that is what he calls it? No? Well then the whole...

  21. What is a typical night shift for a LPN in LTC?

    LovebugLPN replied to mandakaye03's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LovebugLPN replied to blondy2061h's topic in Camp

  23. Is this abandonment?

    LovebugLPN replied to ra3583's topic in General Nursing
