  1. sexual jokes in the workplace

    jill48 replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

  2. What type of fields can an LVN work in?

    jill48 replied to mspriss154's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I couldn't do this. I just would feel like I wasn't being allowed to use all my skills and my brain would reject this. If I don't feel useful, I can't do

  5. Unfair ADON

    jill48 replied to sorpy69's topic in General Nursing

    Were these nurses there at the time? If they were there also, then yes, it's unfair and they should fix it. But if that was a different shift and they are not present, then you should fix it. Is it...

  7. Reality in the LTC

    jill48 replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not going to ream you, but you shouldn't be setting up your meds ahead of time. I would think that would be against JCAHO guidelines. And I'm wondering what you mean when you say you don't do...

  9. Name on stethoscope...

    jill48 replied to CRNAhopefulguy's topic in First Year After Licensure

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

    Mike, I became IV certified 12 years ago right out of LPN school. I got the certification at the hospital I was working at at the time. And believe me, it comes in quite handy. It's hard enough to...

    jill48 replied to snowfreeze's topic in General Nursing

    VegRN, don't worry, no offense taken. I totally understand what you are saying. But I'm in (or was in, i'm going to home health now) an LTC. In my state their are only two things that an LPN cannot...

  22. How would you tell your boss this?

    jill48 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

  24. sexual jokes in the workplace

    jill48 replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing
