I am a LVN with 30+years experience who is semi-retired. I have been working as a supervisor for a non medical Provider service in supervising field staff in compliance of personal care, cooking and housekeeping duties. This is just on the edge of ...

Thanks I had thought, as you suggested, about the education part. When I worked at an Adult Day care as a "fill In nurse" I found LOTS of mistakes made by patients and docs alike, but most of those people were not teachable. This could be a bette...

There are losts of avenues in nursing--they aren't all home health nursing home or hospital--look around something else might be "your thing" or at least for a little while. Good Luck

There is a program at Tyler Junior College that has been sucessful for many years. Check with them it is called LVN-ADN transition.

I worked in hospitals for 30 years with children as a single mother. My son says I was only off Christmas twice during the 18years he remembers. I know I was off at least part of Christmas day because I worked 8hr shifts then. I do remember the fi...

still on the etoh subject... Here was a weird episode with a poor sot 3 sheets to the wind..... Several years while I was working, this slightly (ok...really trashed) patient comes into my ICU. Now the admission assessment form asks if the patient ...

Thanks Rhon1991, I was relating my story about my son when he was two, however: that same son is now 23 almost 24 years old. They were right on the money with their diagnosis. When things are not right a parent knows and while the initial shoc...

I have a child that was diagnosed as bipolar at the age of two. Also has OD syndrome. She needs all the [rpfessional guidence she can get and it will still not be enough. Some of the newer medications may be appropriate for her child but it is jus...

Brownie, just came back from a vacation in Galveston but didn't do the hospital thing. Looked clean enough to me and the people are sooo friendly. Things to do and atmosphere more laid back. Traffic wasn't bad and the prices we saw were reali...

this nurse you must have been seen sans coffe cup and WORKING while you had your lab coat on. You will need to stop doing all that nursing stuff and pay more attention to the way IMPORTANT people act when they wear theirs. I bet you never stop anyo...

I remember one of the nurses I worked with (Charge Nurse)wore hers with a wig. One night when she bent over to look at a Foley her wig with her cap on it fell off. She promptly scooped it back up and put it back on BACKWARDS. She wore it all night ...

For the past three school years I have struggled with the thought that my daughter was showing ADD/ADHD symptoms. Each of these years took a lot of different interventions combined to keep her off any medication, but when the time comes to go onto m...

A Physician ,who had been up all night with a emergency surgery, came in after seeing his routine post-op patients and wrote to "ambulate in highway qid". Of course he meant hallway but we all had a good laugh. He, however, didn't see the humour in...

One of the hospitals I +USED+ to work at required the nurses to each bring a gift so they could drawn from the pile for Nurses Week. What cheapskates!! You actually were written up if you didn't participate. Gimme a break.

Bilirubin, we had a lady that named her son Bilirubin. She thought it was a beautiful name and had been in the hospital with hepatitis and heard the doctor talk about her bilirubin level rising. So that's what she named the poor kid.

I work in a "assisted living facility" that is actually an adult daycare for patients who have qualifying medical needs. It's kind of neat to help people stay independent by assisting with a variety of their needs. Sometimes they are all seniors b...

In North- east Texas there are usually a number of L.V.N.'s that are nurses on campuses under the direction of one R.N. If the school district is small and poor there may be only one nurse shared by several schools. You need to know your stuff and...

Relatives can be your WORST patients. They think they have knowledge of medicine because they are related to you and should have "Special" treatments and procedures from you. One of mine called me after being discharged from the hospital for a dx o...
