RainbowzLPN LPN

I'd also like to say thank you to everyone... up front, behind the scenes, and all the members, too. I have learned so much, gotten SO many laughs, and gained great respect for the profession we are all in. Please take care of yourselves too. It j...

My heart goes out to his family, friends, and everyone here who came to know Brian. He did a wonderful thing with this sight. RIP

When I was working as a new CNA @ a hosp, the person I was being hired to replace (she was retiring) really couldn't have cared less abt me shadowing or learning. What did I do, found a completely awesome PN who helped me learn the ropes more than ...

I know I haven't been on here a lot.. I guess I just need to vent. My partner of 13 years, Sherry passed away recently. Basically, she collapsed at home. She was alert and lucid when I went to get the phone to call 911, but when I got back to her,...

I picked up Sherrys' remains the other day, as well as a remembrance necklace. It's a silver heart with a black paw print on it. We have 3 fur kitties, but are also both dog lovers, so that's what it stands for. In a way, I feel 'calm' because s...

I became an LPN in 2004, and am now going to go back for my RN. When I was in school, I was a CNA in the hospital we did clinicals in, many days I'd have clinicals, & then work, sometimes on the same floor. There were always some students who s...

Thanks so much for the input, I'll definitely check into them!

I'd love to learn sign language. I've looked locally (I live in central Pa), but can't find anywhere to take classes. I've even looked online, though I don't know if that'd be as an effective way of learning.

I'm an LPN & at the local hospital around here, the LPN's are the ones doing all the meds (that they can give as PN's, that is), I've been a nurse since 2004, & still get the question.... why don't you want to be an RN? No thanks, it's just...

Thanks so much for posting this! It made me smile & I'm passing it on to friends, nurses or not!!!! God bless all of the nurses her & future nurses, too!

Chris, Please add me to the list once again this year....none of my info has changed since last year, if you have any questions, let me know! Thanks!!!!!

I'm glad I found this thread! I've been tossing around the idea of learning ASL. I'm looking into schools in the area that may have it, but I've actually heard of people learning it onling, including nurses, & getting credits for it. I was jus...

I grad in '04 from the GACTC.. good luck to you, it's a hard year, but well worth it!! I was working for a local LTC facility, but am now working through a local agency.. better pay, no stress, but I had to find my own insurance, b/c the ins the com...

I recently got a card in the mail talking about when LPN's (in Pa, anyway) renew their licenses, they have to have so many credits. I know that RN's are doing it. I've asked around, & checked the state website, but can't find anything. Anyone ...

I'm stuck! When I click on the link, I get to the site, but where do I go from there? What do I click on? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!, I took the WCEI wound care course at the end of April, & I am happy to say I PASSED!!!!! :balloons: Problem is, now I need a new job. I'm burnt out @ the LTC I'm at, & they don't exactly acknowledge my new education. Pai...

lolol!!! my friends/ coworkers can't believe i just walk right up to a drug rep, ask if they are one, & then ask if they have anything good, like pens, post its, etc. you know you're getting a good drug pen if it's still in the plastic cover, ...

This is about a thank you, but among staff. I work in a LTC & treasure the CNA's that work on my shift/ unit. I wanted to do something nice for them for CNA appreciation week. I brought in a pizza for dinner for them, as well as a little "th...

I'd love to get certified in wound care. All the places I've looked all say you have to be an RN to do it. How do you do it as a LPN?

Not as many people ask me that as before. I just say that I'm not going on, I want to be an LPN & I am one, end of story. They seem to forget that the N in LPN actually does stand for nurse!!

You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers...I can't imagine what you're going through.

My partner takes Lunesta @ night & loves it. She Also takes Mirapex for her leg pain & it has done wonders . Had tried Ambien before, but had no luck with it.

Love that one! Where did you get it??? :-)

Does anyone happen to know when CNA day/week is? I'd love to get my girls something to show how much I appreciate them, aside from the thank yous. Thank ahead of time!!
