No Mam, I am sorry the MD won't write you a back to work statement because you decided to stay in Atllanta 3 EXTRA MONTHS ! You were seen here today, that's all we cover ! Did say this !

DON'T STRESS ! If the staff & the patients see you stress, it makes everything worse ! Smile, rely on your preceptor, and the older staff members ( not age, experience) establish a positive relationship with the staff, and they will help you thro...

don't feel sorry for me, honey, I'm doing what I want to do !

Eliminate this continous race issue ! You started this, time to end it !

Here's a question for everyone ? What if your patient crashes during your night shift, and you have the spouse to deal with while your patient is sinking fast ? The Dentist my grandkids see takes them WITHOUT PARENTS for their cleanings and such. It ...

I had a patient who thought his erection would shock me , and when I told him I certainly did understand his request for help ( with a snicker) he jerked the sheet back up, and said he needed something for pain. Again, ( snicker) I told him I would g...

our president is also 1/2 white, so that doesn't make a difference at all, now does it ?

Unfortunately, very few RN's are willing to work in LTC's , passing, meds, doing treatments, all the documentation required by the state, and the chronically understaffed state of most LTC's . I was once told by a state inspector I had 3 minutes per ...

Tell it like it is , LHH1996 ! You get my vote !

to: dotherightthing, As a nurse, you should be the one leading the troops to equality for all, and it sounds to me as if you are looking for an excuse to turn this issue into a black versus white thing, instead of what is is ......... the establishme...

Why can't we all see each other as friends and neighbors, and not see the black nurse or Indian doctor, the Nigerian x-ray tech, the Jamacian receptionist, or the white cleaning lady ? This is 2009. We need to set a better example for our children...

to : dotherightthing wow ! In my workplace almost all the RN's are African- American, there are very few white nurses. I am glad to work for a company that sees All THE TEAM as making valuable contributions, and not seeing the color of their skin. I...

I have been an LPN for 30 years. Did I ever think about going back to school for the RN ? yes, but life got in the way. Have I taken classes to improve my skills? yes, I have an IV certificate, and an MDS/Care Plan certicicate, a Rehab Nurse certific...

I have a certificate in Phlebotomy, a certificate in Rehab, and a certificate in IV start & maintaining. Do I want to be an RN ? not really, I like being an LPN, I love the patient contact and I enjoy the extra time I have with my patients. I don...

I'D GIVE IT A SHOT JUST TO TEST MYSELF, AND MY OWN STUBBORN PRIDE!!!!!:chuckle

I have worked with, and had a CNA as a Staffing Director, NEVER NEVER NEVER in "charge " of the licensed personell,but handled staffing issues, caLL off's vacation coverages, etc. ONLY a licensed nurse can supervise another licensed nurse. I'd check ...

I am proud to be an LPN because LPN stands for Licensed PRACTICAL Nurse, Which means I can do almost anything an RN can do, some an RN can't/ doesn't know how ( insert a foley ) Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous, but I have taught RN's to do that ! ...

Of course the cost of living in New York is MUCH higher than the cost of living in a rural area, like most of mississippi. My daughter, who is an RN , and works in Ms. is the director of the Heart Institute at a large hospital in NE MS and makes a VE...

yes, file a complaint. yes, go to your manager. also remember that God looks at the color of our hearts, not the color of our skin. If we could all learn this simple concept, life would be so much better for all of us, no matter what color God Painte...

I had been offered and had accepted a travel nurse LPN position in North Carolina at a prison, a 13 week assignment with housing included paid $ 32/ hr, and OT for anything over 8. It was a full time 40hr/week position. after the agency applied for ...

as the Licensed person, you are responsible to see that your CNA's do the tasks assigned to them. Perhaps you should speak to them, or if that doesn't help, speak to the DON. I worked as a CNA before I was an LPN, and it is not that difficult of a tr...

My first job as an LPN paid $ 5.50/hr, back in the day when mimimun wage was $1.60/hr. I presently work in a Walk in Clinic @ $20/hr, and I KNOW I could make more if I went to a LTC. It's not worth the extra $$$$ because it is so depressing. LTC pays...
