  1. Accepting or not accepting the client which jeopardizes the license the most?

    NannaNurse replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest looking for another job!! It's getting worse for all of us. I work in acute rehab. The other night we had 15 patients, 2 nurses, 2 aids and 6 admissions. More than half were DM and...

  2. Lance Armstrong-interesting info

    NannaNurse replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    My dad always had Bradycardia..........I got it too. Usually mine is around 50-55 and even after power walking 1 mile, it rarely goes above 100. I have problems with my BP being low too. During one...

  3. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    NannaNurse replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Sad situation indeed. Here is what I would do if this was my friend: Since I value my friendships and consider them great blessings, I would have to put my personal feeings aside and alert the...

  4. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    NannaNurse replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

    Some here seem to love 'jumping' on others. If you are in the medical profession.........mainly a nurse or nurses aid.........you know pain. Some people tolerate pain better than others. Personally, I...

  5. Filipino Nurses

    NannaNurse replied to Oscar's topic in Philippines

    We all have our opinions and THAT is what makes this great country great. Without it, we might as well pack up and find another place to live............We all have a right to say what we feel and...

  6. Filipino Nurses

    NannaNurse replied to Oscar's topic in Philippines

    For the most part I don't have a problem with Fillipino nurses. My unit is now mostly Fillipino and some Americans are married to Fillipino. I'm sorry but I find it offensive to be sitting at the...

  7. Are LPNs nothing but a "set dressing?"

    NannaNurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Where I work, in STL, nurses, both RN and LPN have equal jobs, for the most part. Same pt load, LPN's sometimes have more. They can't hang blood, but I've seen highly qualified LPN's taking a RN...

  8. Comment about LPNs made by clinical instructor

    NannaNurse replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is sad...........very sad that one group of people think they are superior than others. I've said it many, many times..........I was a LPN prior to RN and I don't think the extra school made...

  9. Totally wierd question...

    NannaNurse replied to cpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I can certianly see where this would make one crazy. Personally, I never had a problem with that........I'm part Cherokee and have hardly any body hair. As a teenager I shaved my legs about once...

  10. HELP! Am I diabetic?

    NannaNurse replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, I don't know where to start on this one. First of all, I would say that you do not have DM with just 1 NON-FASTING blood test. I think you should look into changing primary care docs and find...

  11. Coumadin and an Extremely Elderly and Frail Patient

    NannaNurse replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    We are so lucky to live in a time that we have so many drugs and treatments that can make the lives of our patients easier. Coumadin is a lifesaver to many, my father-in-law one of them, but it is...

  12. Call Offs

    NannaNurse replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a DON who wants others to do her job for her. This is one of the reasons that facilities have such high turnover rates.........they don't care for their employees, so why do they expect...

  13. Thinking of quiting after 2 years

    NannaNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all.........I work for a major healthcare org in rehab medicine. I've been there for over 2 years and really 'loved' going to work. I don't anymore, I'll try to make this short. In 2 1/2 yrs, we...

  14. Thinking of quiting after 2 years

    NannaNurse replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The surgery was for work related injury. Sorry for missing

  15. Thinking of quiting after 2 years

    NannaNurse replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I'm truly sorry that I have not responded sooner. I did have surgery the end of September and boy what a rough road it has been. This has been one of the most trying times of my life and...

  16. Not feeling to good about a co-worker

    NannaNurse replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the 'lady' and the 'boss' are trying to hide something or the 'boss' is in over his head!!! Life is way too short and your HEALTH is not worth this kind of stress! If you allow yourself...

  17. Team nursing is causing many good nurses to leave any suggestions

    NannaNurse replied to fight fatigue's topic in General Nursing

    We have always done 'team nursing'........yes, we are overworked and stessed, but if we were to go back to the old standard of 'caring for our own patients', we would probably loose all the of nurses...

  18. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    NannaNurse replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    ...."Protection of the staff".........."They weren't yet turned on"........"We had signs to post and we were too busy".......Oh give me a break here!!! When I go back to work, I'm checking the...

  19. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    NannaNurse replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm really suprised at some of the comments here. We are ALL part of a team here. If somebody is 'bragging'.........tune them out! My daughter is a x-ray tech and I'm darn proud of her. She obtained...

  20. What about breaks?

    NannaNurse replied to avahsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would start telling them to 'cover themselves' on their breaks! I would definately talk to the nurse manager and especially if they are deducting this time from your pay or fill out a form,...

  21. What about breaks?

    NannaNurse replied to avahsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.......we are docked for lunch whether we take it or not......usually it's 'not'. Who has the time??? Breaks?????? I seem to remember something called that.......years ago.......somebody please...

  22. Lpn's being dumped?

    NannaNurse replied to tiliimnrn's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard this for years too.........in reality, if all the LPN's were to be taken out of the system.........you talk about a nursing shortage the likes have never been seen!!! Why would they want to...

  23. Would you let your kid ride a MOTORCYCLE ???

    NannaNurse replied to Oregon Runner's topic in General Nursing

    Even though my hubby and I own harleys, I really don't like my kids to ride. Our youngest son was in an accident a year ago. He was run off the road by an elderly lady NOT PAYING ATTENTION. He was not...

  24. Depression,Military Discharge..Career in nursing??

    NannaNurse replied to WannaBmaleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dear WammaB......I'm so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. My hubby is a CPO in the Navy Reserves and we went through this 'medical board' thing with his diabetes......self controlled...

  25. LPN and NCLEX

    NannaNurse replied to mollyz's topic in General Nursing

    'Sitting for boards'........taking the NCLEX.........same thing. The NCLEX for both RN and LPN is structured the same. To assess the knowledge of medical/nursing care and determn their ability to be...
