2. Discrimination...You think??!!?!

   Jamie Dale replied to Jamie Dale's topic in Men

   Don't make any decisions just yet - wait and talk with your DON when you're calmer - and how come YOU had to move vs. the other guy? That is another mystery I can't figure out, because he was scheduled to work a different hall that weekend. So,...

   Jamie Dale replied to Jamie Dale's topic in LPN/LVN

   I have thought about online classes,but financially can't afford that route. I don't know if student loans or pell grants honor those programs. I work with LPN's who are currently enrolled with Rue. They pay $125.00 a month plus $200.00+ for each exa...

6. Discouraged LPN

   Jamie Dale replied to LPNMeg06's topic in LPN/LVN

   I currently work for National Health Care as an LPN. A couple months back a memo came out to bridge from LPN to RN. The memo stated the program would be 13 months. Not to bad compared to a traditional 2 year program. However, I remember how tiresome ...

7. "Umm...I need the RN."

   Jamie Dale replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN/LVN

   I guess she is in shock, because her selective hearing kicks in. She doesn't say anything except to spout off her orders and hang up. Other doctors just ask for the "nurse" of a particular patient. She is the only one I know of to ask specifically fo...

8. Help!!!

   Jamie Dale posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I was at work one night and a CNA assigned to my hall came in upset. She confided that her husband had just told her (on the way to work) that he is seeing someone on the side. She told me that he was mentally and physically abusive. (And had the bru...

9. "Umm...I need the RN."

   Jamie Dale replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN/LVN

   I once had an LPN co-worker be told by a doctor that LPN's were "play nurses" which really p***** me off. So now when that particular doctor calls and asks for an RN, we tell her that: " We are sorry, there are no RN's or " Real Nurses" in the buildi...

11. Other nurses ever check behind your work??

    Jamie Dale posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I have been noticing a problem at work. I work night shift and feel adequate and secure in my job performance. However, it seems when I am off work, other LPN's I work with take it upon themselves to check behind me and tell other nurses my work styl...

12. Are any of you guys as burned out as I am?

    Jamie Dale replied to Germanicus's topic in Men

    Everone has moments of burn out from time to time...When we dwell on that emotion for long periods of time, we have real issues on our hands. Burn out is a natural part of any job. My advice would be to shake it off and don't linger on that thought f...

    I agree with verman's post.Especially the underpaid comment....(so true here in Tennessee). I am guilty of looking each week in the want ads for better paying jobs.And the fear of putting my license on the line has happened to me personally one too m...

15. Girls Talking during class is making me mad!!

    Jamie Dale replied to scaredofshots's topic in General Students

    I'd talk to the instructor, could be that she/he is intimidated by the two girls as well...lol. Or, just walk up and tell them to shut up. After all they aren't gods...only humans. They will eventually get glad in the same drawers they got mad in.
