  1. I feel so bad

    LovebugLPN replied to LovebugLPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I felt really bad for this woman. Could it be indicating a possible hormone inbalance? I mean this was not just a few sporifice hairs and she also had some chest hair and chin hair. I was just...

  2. Bunch of Questions for LTC LPN's.. Help I'm new!

    LovebugLPN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe that what you are feeling is totally normal. School does not totally prepare you for working. You will be fine once you start working. They will give you training and if after that you...

  3. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    LovebugLPN replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    My son's pediatrician said he would not have lifetime protection with the vaccine and, as we all know, chicken pox as an adult can be bad. As a previous poster mentioned we don't always know the...

  4. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    LovebugLPN replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a school district and had a woman who taught there insist that vaccines were the cause of her child's autism. She actually headed a group that tried to "educate" people about the dangers...

  5. Anyone have an "unsupportive mate"?

    LovebugLPN replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just remember education opens doors. I went through nursing school and after graduation took my son and left my husband. I was no longer afraid because I knew that with an LPN (hope to get RN...

  6. Blood Pressure Kits for Obese??

    LovebugLPN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think, after reading the information on forearm bp, that it is a good idea to buy a cuff. They even say that it is not as accurate on the

  7. Scary Career Wrecker?

    LovebugLPN replied to theofficegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Officegirl, I am sorry this happened to you and even though you did nothing wrong and everyone knows it, I know it is scary. Please do not worry. Monday will come and everything will be okay. If it...

  8. Scary Career Wrecker?

    LovebugLPN replied to theofficegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I was working for a group of doctors and received a call from a pharmacy asking me to clarify an order for a pain killer that was left on there voicemail by me. I explained we never leave messages on...

  9. Need your thoughts

    LovebugLPN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Someone posted that they were in the RN program and failed twice. This time the instructor said she was "unsafe". It was posted that she should get her LPN and get some experience before she goes...

  10. Need your thoughts

    LovebugLPN replied to LovebugLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My fear is that depending on how far she has made it in the RN program she can go out and sit for the NCLEX PN and pass. Then she could begin working on your family member. She may be book smart but...

  11. Can I practice with married name?

    LovebugLPN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just recently returned to using my maiden name. I will be getting married again at the end of February. I have not contacted the board of nursing yet but would like to return to working in...

  12. Adoption option?

    LovebugLPN replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I absolutely agree with these posts and I was a teenage mom. I had my beautiful son right after graduation. I wanted to put my son up for adoption because I knew that he should not pay for my...

  13. Do I have to mention jobs?

    LovebugLPN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a quick question. I am an LPN and am wanting to get back into it after some time off. When I graduated I took 3 different jobs in long term care but had to quit them within 2 months each time...

  14. First and Last Year in Nursing

    LovebugLPN replied to K98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think the point of this thread was to have negative feedback. It seemed to be about someone who was very "let down" by what is going on in nursing and looking for some support and options....

  15. First and Last Year in Nursing

    LovebugLPN replied to K98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sorry to read you are feeling this way but, I understand. It is probably a good idea to look into other areas of nursing. There are plenty and some may pay better and give you more time for...

    LovebugLPN replied to nursemn's topic in General Nursing

    I have a son that WAS circumcised. I thought I would never have to worry about adhesions. When he was 5 years old his member was red and swollen. I took him to the pediatrician who told me he had...

  18. How long can I wait?

    LovebugLPN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I graduated LPN school in 2004. Since then there have been dramatic changes in my life. First, I am going through a divorce (UGLY). I had worked for a group of doctors for almost 10 months but do...
