  1. Could she do this?

    jill48 replied to jenni82104's topic in General Nursing

    Is it one of the antibiotics you can measure with a peak and troph? I wonder how many times the med was held by this nurse before you ever found out about her OPINION. Because that is what it is,...

  2. an inmate you seems think he owns the prison

    jill48 replied to nurse1972's topic in Correctional

    I just don't know how you guys do

  3. A little confusion re: some people's thoughts about LPNs

    jill48 replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand. Please

  4. Is this abandonment?

    jill48 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My state (Missouri) considers sleeping on the job a form of patient abandonment. I fully agree with this and think people have been getting away with it for too long. What do you

  5. Please don't eat your young.

    jill48 replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think you offended anyone. we just would like to see the stereotype go away. there was nothing wrong with your post. good

  6. Is this abandonment?

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    This may be true (power naps) for people that can wake right up and get back to the task at hand. I have seen too many people moping around for the rest of the shift in a daze and yawning nonstop...

  7. A little confusion re: some people's thoughts about LPNs

    jill48 replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Crystal, I totally agree with you here. Plus, there are nurses from many different countries on this forum and they may not even use LPN's in their country. I totally understand that. Good

  8. A little confusion re: some people's thoughts about LPNs

    jill48 replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    I was really trying to avoid this topic today but when I read your post, I determined it was a sign for me to speak up. Most people on this forum show as much respect to LPN's as they do to RN's....

  11. Is this abandonment?

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    But why would anyone need to sleep while they are at work? I have had occasion to sleep at work one time in all my years: I was working day shift and had a terrible migraine. The choices were to...

  12. Please don't eat your young.

    jill48 replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I hate when students say nurses "eat their young". When I was a student I did not experience any such thing and as a nurse I bring my own lunch. Mean people are mean people anywhere you go and in...

  13. Is this abandonment?

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was meant to be interpreted that way. I would think it was for the cases we see so many times where it's noc shift and you can't find your staff; only to find that they are sleeping...

  14. I cannot UNDERSTAND lazy people!

    jill48 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not in my state. I am responsible for my license, no one else is. I am an LPN and I am a supervisor. I just went on an interview to be a DON. NO ONE but me is responsible for my license. I am my...

    jill48 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    OMG NO!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry or throw up.

  16. should i have questioned it??

    jill48 replied to kell1566's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an LPN with almost 12 years experience and I would not have given it UNLESS the physician clarified and amended the allergy status. And I would chart every single call I made; to the pharmacist,...

  17. dilemma

    jill48 replied to niceswtnurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had Starbuck's. By the way Tazzi, love the new picture! Yes, I know everybody, I'm :offtopic: . So sorry.

    You have to let us know the correct answer when you get

  19. I cannot UNDERSTAND lazy people!

    jill48 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Shortage of RN's? Do you mean shortage of NURSES? Because I believe the shortage applies to us lowly LPN's

  20. dilemma

    jill48 replied to niceswtnurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    Girl! You are going to have to be more assertive for the wellfare of your patients. You know that CNA that told you that taking extra blankets to the dying patient is a "waste of blankets":nono: ?...

  23. Posting fears...

    jill48 replied to Rizpah's topic in General Nursing

    Not on this forum. At least nothing that could hurt me. Everything I say about the places I work I say loudly for all to hear and don't care what anyone thinks (Missouri forum). But I did ask some...

  24. Console me or Slap me back into reality!!!

    jill48 replied to quisqueya's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ughhhh. Don't you hate walking in on those cliques? For now on when you are asked to work a double, you ask what you want. You say, "As long as I'm on the same assignment that I usually work"; "As...

  25. Is this a big deal or not?

    jill48 replied to VegRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm sure it was innocent, and it sounds like your nurse manager thinks so too. But this is why you should never pocket any narcs. I know, I've done it too. But it just gives people reason to...
