  1. Help!! I failed clinical due to medication error

    LovebugLPN replied to yan2006's topic in General Students

    I really hope you don't have any problems in nursing school because these students may see a post like this and eat you alive.

  2. Assaulted and written up. (vent)

    LovebugLPN replied to JessicRN's topic in Emergency

    It really seems like a lot was going on at once and you were really trying to juggle it all. I am sorry you didn't get any support from those around you but I am glad you came here so that if anything...

  3. The best for morbidly obese

    LovebugLPN replied to Hoozdo's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have never had any problem hearing because a patient was bigger. I just use a cheap end Littman

  4. Terrible Incident

    LovebugLPN replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Turning off feedings and applying creams are NOT within a CNAs scope of practice. You are right about that and no nurse should be asking a CNA to do it. Work within your scope of practice because if...

  5. Justified? Selfish? What would YOU do?

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

    We had a lot of single moms in our class but one stuck out the most. She was the one who always had "the emergency". Her son would get his head stuck in every orfice of her house or the dogs body and...

  6. I don't think I should return to nursing

    LovebugLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I left my job as an agency nurse a year ago due to health problems. I was with this company for three years and in that time I never really did any real "hands on" nursing. I mean I may have helped...

  7. Need a vent -- disabled parking

    LovebugLPN replied to DolceVita's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't have any advice. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that this is happening to you and I hope it gets resolved. Nobody deserves

  8. Gagging a Drunk

    LovebugLPN replied to Jerry 75's topic in Emergency

    Why didn't you report this stuff? You are just as guilty by watching and doing nothing. If reporting it did nothing you should have gone farther up the chain of

  9. Are "Baby Friendly" hospitals dishonoring cultural diversity

    LovebugLPN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would like to tell you that when young mothers do not get enough formula from WIC they do not breastfeed they make formula. They take condensed milk and mix it with karo syrup. I was one of those...

  10. Abandonment?

    LovebugLPN replied to smurfynursey's topic in Camp

    I went to camp in NJ and they only required an

  11. Lyme disease and dogs (long)

    LovebugLPN replied to Nurse1966's topic in General Nursing

    I was reading on other web sites (yes, I know "the internet") and it says that dogs can have false negatives. My dog had Lyme disease and it was not cheap to have it dx because they wanted to treat...

  12. New to home health, next to nothing for orientation...vent

    LovebugLPN replied to everthesame's topic in Home Health

    I worked for an agency that was running off the RNs by riding them too hard to get so much done in such a short amount of time. I couldn't figure out, at first, why they looked so frazzled all of the...

  13. PCA in OB/GYN

    LovebugLPN replied to ksow's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am wondering if you are asking about Personal Care Aides

  14. Things you don't want to hear your Aide say

    LovebugLPN replied to readytoroll's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This thread actually started out funny. Why do they always have to have posts with people who want to say such negative things about the aides? Is that really

  15. I did a no-no

    LovebugLPN replied to mamad7's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen all of these things happen and I am so sorry it happened to you. You will find a job but just be honest. Don't tell them "everyone is doing it" which I am sure you won't anyway. I worked...

  16. stupid mom

    LovebugLPN replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I understand that people stay with abusive partners but I am glad when DYFS (or whatever it is called where you live) gets involved and takes the kids. I can't stand innocent children having to be...

  17. My daughter brought home head lice and...

    LovebugLPN replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with a little boy in a classroom. One of the kids had head lice but was sent back to class. You could actually see them crawling on his head and it was not a minor case either. I...

  18. Diaper changes on special needs students

    LovebugLPN replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

    I know I am being very picky here but I just can't get past the word "diaper". I always corrected people when they referred to them as such. They are not

  19. Diaper changes on special needs students

    LovebugLPN replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

    In the school district I worked at if the teacher's aide was out for the day the school district was required to replace that person with a substitute. That substitute would then be responsible for...

  20. Gagging during the breif change... Help!

    LovebugLPN replied to TiffanyLovesPink's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If it is the smell you could try rubbing vapor rub under your nose. It will get better though and nobody ever really looks forward to the sight of

  21. Sick of being a LPN

    LovebugLPN replied to lilaclover6984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I like how you put it the first

  22. HIPAA VIOLATION!

    LovebugLPN replied to mehart2001's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone knows the mature thing to do is to put all his clothing in a big pile and pour bleach all over it. Then you go and eat a gallon of ice cream and

  23. HIPAA VIOLATION!

    LovebugLPN replied to mehart2001's topic in General Nursing

  24. I'm guilty. It's about the condom catheter

    LovebugLPN replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    I am really impressed by the responses so far. I am waiting for the usual people who come out of the screaming about how "mean" you are and telling you what a bad nurse you are. I think you did what...

  25. Scope of Practice?

    LovebugLPN replied to ibmanda2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I assume you work for an agency? They would (or should) be able to answer all of these questions for you. You are a fairly recent grad and I am sure they would be glad (and relieved) if you would go...
