  1. Is this legal?

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  2. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    jill48 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

  3. Abuse cases in the ED. How....?

    jill48 replied to RNtigerEMT's topic in Emergency

    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...

  4. Do you regret being a nurse

    jill48 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. I need your help! :)

    jill48 replied to JDunk's topic in Men in Nursing

    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...

  6. If a family member calls on your pt, do you give them info?

    jill48 replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    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

  7. Intimidation and Threats in Nursing School

    jill48 replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't understand how these kind of people can sleep at night:angryfire . Stay strong and continue to defend yourself. Good

  8. Apologizing for being "just an LPN"

    jill48 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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.

  9. Owing Taxes and Licensing

    jill48 replied to chubbi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  11. Not impressed with clinical group and instructor

    jill48 replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    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...

  13. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

  14. Is anyone else uncomfortable with this?

    jill48 posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  15. Interesting places where women have given birth

    jill48 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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".

  17. 12 hour shifts?

    jill48 replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

    jill48 replied to nsnina's topic in Illinois Nursing

    jill48 replied to one2one's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  21. Should I Have Stepped In??

    jill48 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  22. Should I Have Stepped In??

    jill48 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    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....

  23. Should I Have Stepped In??

    jill48 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  24. Should I Have Stepped In??

    jill48 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    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...
