I think you are correct, and I hope so. I REALLY need this. I will have to look it up in my state's regulations, but I'm thinking this is going to be okay. Thank you so much for answering me, I...
You will find that some doctors are like that. There is always going to be a few of them floating around your facility. When I was a newbie, I had a male doctor (approx. 40 y/0) expect me to get up...
You are stronger than I could ever be. I don't think I would be able to control myself. And that is a bad thing for me. I couldn't do it. Somehow you made it through today. Maybe you have the...

No regrets. I love nursing. If I don't like how I'm being treated at a particular facility, I move on. Helping people is what makes me feel fullfilled. Loving my job makes the rest of my life...
Welcome to our forum. I am 33 years old. This is what I love about nursing. I help people who cannot help themselves. I hold their hands and tell them it's okay to go when they are dying and no...
I think she was just being lazy. Yes, as long as the patient (POA) gives permission, she should have talked to you and given you more information than just that tiny little bit she
Dear ogopogo, never apologize for what you are. Apologies are only necessary if you are sorry for something, and being an LPN is nothing to be sorry about. Be proud of what you are. I am.
I have posted about this many times before. My license was suspended because my state said that I failed to file in the year 2000. I did file, and I have been fighting for over 3 years to get my...
The problem is that is seems to be allowed for them to just sit around at the nurses station and do nothing. I couldn't imagine doing that as a student. Even if everything was completed, I would...
I know that many of you think I am some kind of monster because I am so strong-willed and assertive (as evidenced in other threads), but when I started this thread I really was just wanting to know...
I know I should be thankful when a CMT is on my floor and passes my meds for me, but it makes me somewhat uncomfortable and I feel the need to pass the meds myself. I'm just not sure that a CMT will...
OMG I laughed so hard when I read this that I actually have tears streaming down my face. I could totally see my husband also saying "stop playing with yourself and push the baby out".
I prefer the 12 hour shifts. My kids are a little older and don't need me as much as they did when they were little. Plus, I'm one of those anal retentive type A personalities that likes to finish...
Did you see the one where the young lady is talking to her mom about joining the army and she says to her mom, "The army will help pay for medical school and by that time I will already have...
I'm not a hero. I never said I was one, and I don't want to be one. I'm just somebody who would help if it was needed. It has nothing to do with my skills. It has everything to do with me...
OMG I cannot even believe you just said that. She's too green? So when would it be a good time and environment for her "first one"? You say "first one" like it's some performance. IT WAS A LIFE....
COMPASSION? Let me get this straight, I should have more compassion for someone who stood by and did nothing while she had no compassion for the poor dying soul on the ground? Where is your...
Yes. I HAVE come upon situations and pulled over my car and got out and walked up to the police and offered my help. I WOULD lose sleep if I could have helped, but didn't. And there is no...
