Radiology school vs. LPN school...I would personally take Rad. School. Dependiing on the state you live, LPN's either have a load of responsibility in the hospital or they literally get enema duty in other parts of the US. I have been an LPN for 18yr...

SOME OF MY FONDEST AND HEARTFELT MEMORIES OF MY NURSING CAREER IS REMEMBERING TIME SPENT WITH THE DYING. GREAT ARTICLE! :cheers:

:heartbeat yOUR ARTICLE IS BEAUTIFUL & ENLIGHTENING TO SAY THE LEAST. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR NEW FOUND KNOWLEDGE.

THAT WAS GREAT AND UNFORTUNATELT SOOOOO TRUE!

the duties really vary from state to state and often from one hospital to another. you are so young, why not reconsider and go right for your rn. the schooling is a little longer, but so worth it in the end. i promise you will not regret it! i have...

Meds (prn & scheduled) Throw in an occasional code & put your other patients on hold until you are able to resume your duties. Then you will only be behind another hour or two for the rest of the shift. Maybe an inservice taking up another 10...

princenina.....thank you for your response. i have begun to get the "pharamogological" help that i finally relented to. i knew that i needed intervention, but i tried to help myself rather than seek out "a little pill" to aid in my therapy. i am now...

I DID NOT POST THIS THREAD! PLEASE RESPOND TO THE APPROPRIATE NURSE. tHANK YOU.

thanks so much for your quote. i know i am not the only nurse ever injured in the battle fields of a hospital, but when you know in your heart how dedicated you were & skillful & that you really did make a difference in the lives of your pati...

you did exactly what you should have done. what did we learn in nursing school? document,document,document! you have to cover yourself.....let the imature doc have his temper tantrum, but you have a license to protect. did the doc literally have "xra...

I moved from Fl. to NC & appllied for reciprocity here several months ago. Filled out the necessary forms,sent the money,got fingerprinted...believe it or not because the police officer put br for eye color instead of bro (brown) the board return...

i was told by my local pd that the main dept. is in downtown charlotte where they will do computer fingerprinting. sorry, i don't have an address.

i am an lpn with 15yrs clinical experience. i precepted nre rn's,iv certified,chemo certified,bls & acls certs. i relocated to north carolina from florida & seldom do i see jobs posted for lpns. do the hospitals even employ lpns? what jobs ...

thanks so much. i live in matthews & would like to possibly work with an infusion company. i think my hospital days are over. just the thought possibly having a 20yr old rn looking over my shoulder & wondering whether or not i know what i' m...

When we were working 8's I don't believe I ever left work on time. 12's are exhausting, but at least there are only 3 of them in a week. I couldn't imagine working a 5 day/40hr week. I picked up much more OT working 12s rather than 8s.

thanks so much for your reply. as a matter of fact, the deputy tried 3 times & then called the lieutenant in. he was able to get more defined prints, but advised me that if they were not acceptable by "the board" i will probably have to go downto...

Thanks so much for your reply! Recently my fingerprints were returned to me once again because of "indistinct margins". So, once again they are being sent out to the board .

i suffered a back injury 5yrs ago & two surgeries later i am still unable to return to work. i hope to return in teh future at least part-time, however i think to go into a hospice would destroy me mentally. i am so depressed since i know i can n...

Hi everyone!I moved to NC from Fl. in Nov. I unfortunately suffered a back injury in 2001 & have been out of work since.Following 2 back surgeries (one failure the second ok) I don't believe I can do clinical nursing any longer, but want to retur...

I could not agree with you more!For every bad day there are so many rewards.And if you're tired of the "politics" and the MD's and no longer want to deal with the families, ther is always nnight shift, which is what I did and never regreted it for a ...

Sissy....don't let "those" nurse scare you off! The profession cannot be fulfilling unless it is in your heart before your wallet.I was injured at work 5yrs ago & have not been able to return to work.Following 2 back surgeries & a knee surger...
