  1. Called narcotic in! NOT ME!!!

    LovebugLPN replied to rninmi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I worked for a group of doctors and had a similar experience. After the pharmacy called and I told them that we don't call in narcotics without sending over a "hard copy" I thought it was just a...

  2. Venting about BON involvement in DUI

    LovebugLPN replied to Nursing NCO's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No matter how we view this topic and try to persuade people to come to our side on this it doesn't matter. The BON has made the decision and when you decided to become a nurse you knew the rules. If...

  3. New graduate LPNs: any luck finding jobs.

    LovebugLPN replied to myperads's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hate to burst your bubble but their are a lot of RN grads who are having trouble finding jobs. You should read some of the threads on

  4. briefs or diapers

    LovebugLPN replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a new grad I watched many nurses write up CNAs for calling them diapers and bibs. I always hated the terms but wasn't aware they could make these girls stop calling them that. I guess so...

  5. I'm such a horrible wife!!!

    LovebugLPN replied to amd75's topic in General Students

    No you aren't a bad wife and he isn't a bad husband. You are both under so much stress. You are in school and working which is so very stressful and he probably wanted to reconnect with you. You...

  6. How to differentiate between epilepsy and pseudo-seizures

    LovebugLPN replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Pseudo-seizures aren't always people who are "pretending to seize". I actually wanted to have a dx of pseudo-seizures because it meant having my life back and my driver's license. All the neurologists...

  7. Doctors with poor English Skills

    LovebugLPN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses most certainly "give a crap". I spend 4 weeks a summer in Newark, New Jersey and also New York working in clinics and hospitals. I work with a very diverse population of people and when we...

  8. Can I lose my license for having a seizure?

    LovebugLPN posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have already had my driver's license suspended and now I am concerned that the day may come where I could lose my nursing license. I am having difficulty controlling my seizures even with all of...

  9. Abandonment

    LovebugLPN replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know? I am assuming the OP was made aware one way or another. Maybe she stepped onto the unit and spoke to the nurse but did not take report? Or she...?? I don't know. Maybe she'll tell...

  10. Abandonment

    LovebugLPN replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, let me get this straight. The OP went to work and clocked in. She/he realized that the patient load was unsafe and did NOT take report but left work. In all of this the DON was unable to be...

  11. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    LovebugLPN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    People can get in trouble when they come across pot that is laced with other drugs and that can be a big problem. I would say that is why this person saw such scary things with it and I am so sorry...

  12. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

    LovebugLPN replied to Star33's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A bad and scattered education does not "build character" and it does not make you a "better nurse". You are paying for your education not your instructors. If they are not teaching in a way you feel...

  13. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    LovebugLPN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh thank God we aren't

  14. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    LovebugLPN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Try speaking with your Dr and explaining what you are feeling. He/she could probably offer some really good advice on what might and might not work for you because you don't have to

  15. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    LovebugLPN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to say that I was prescribed Xanax and if I would have taken it, even at the lowest dose, and tried to work it would have been a joke. I was flying high and lovin' it. I stopped taking it...

  16. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    LovebugLPN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    Y'know I was never aware I could get a positive drug test from being in the same room as someone smoking pot. I have seen this debated all over the internet and it seemed like it was determined you...

  17. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    LovebugLPN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know what would make this thread better? Is if we sat back and smoked pot while we read the posts that were completely off the topic about people downloading illegal music, Mediao and the...

  18. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    LovebugLPN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    I am not going to fight about the legality of pot because that is where this always leads. But to every poster who says "rules and laws are not to be broken" can I ask you a question? Have you ever...

  19. Completely Unhappy With The School I Chose

    LovebugLPN replied to Star33's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You don't live in PA do

  20. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    LovebugLPN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm serious! My friends smoke (I don't). The smell gets me high. That is all it takes. I swear I don't get why people smoke it when they can just sit in on their friends pass

  21. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    LovebugLPN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone knows when they take a job they can be screened at anytime. Stop listening to what other employees tell you and for the love of God stop smoking pot people! This web site would have a whole...

  22. Knocking a Patient Out, a bad thing?

    LovebugLPN replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the OP was quite clear. Anyway, I agree this does seem to happen a lot. I have seen it mostly, as someone mentioned above, in LTC and it seems that it happens at night when certain nurses...

  23. Hi, I'm Thunderwolf and I am a Smoker

    LovebugLPN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I quit smoking a little over a week ago and have threatened my husband in every way I can think of. He wants to help and offered to get me the patch but I knew if he did I would either roll it up and...

  24. Lesbian L and D nurse

    LovebugLPN replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If the OP is not going to run around announcing she is a lesbian why is she here asking if it will be an issue? How will anyone know? Just don't print it on your scrubs or put it in your...

  25. Lesbian L and D nurse

    LovebugLPN replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If a woman is having a baby and knows that her nurse is a lesbian it is her right to request a different nurse. It is no different then requesting a female nurse in the delivery room instead of a...
