  2. Humor in Nursing...

    postmortem_cowboy posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Anyone got any humorous or funny stories to tell about things they've seen? Was just wondering, doesn't seem like we've got a thread along that line. Or at least not one dedicated strictly to it....

  4. What Is A Shift Like?

    postmortem_cowboy replied to mammaoftwo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Third shift is usually from 11-7, and there usually isn't much going on during that time. In my experience, although i've never pulled an 11-7 at a LTC facility, you'll take report, check on patients...

  5. Humor in Nursing...

    postmortem_cowboy replied to postmortem_cowboy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  6. Is it possible...

    postmortem_cowboy replied to JenniferR's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  7. do any of you like codes??

    postmortem_cowboy replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    You'll get your chance, trust me... you'll get your chance. In the hospital I work for nurses usually only do certain things during codes. Respiratory usually comes in 3 deep to do all the chest...

  8. Awaiting Nclex results..anyone with me???

    postmortem_cowboy replied to poohbear73's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That all depends, my nursing program made us pay our licensing fee early, like as in upon graduation, it was a part of the tuition we paid into our program, so they took care of it. If that's the...

  9. CNAs who control LVNs and tell them what to do :(

    postmortem_cowboy replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In total agreement with the above. You hold a license, they hold a certification. Your license was much more difficult to obtain. There was much more involved, and more of a specialized set of...

  10. do any of you like codes??

    postmortem_cowboy replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well there's a difference between wanting someone to code or die for lack of a better term, just so you can run a code, rather than you want something exciting to happen and when it does, you enjoy...

  12. do any of you like codes??

    postmortem_cowboy replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    There's nothing wrong with not liking them. Alot of people don't care for them. I don't know how many times i've been told in an excited state that I need to quit enjoying it so much. I've worked...

  13. Womens interest in male nurses

    postmortem_cowboy replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yeah I agree, having a relationship with someone that just doesn't understand what we go through on a daily basis just plain stinks. It's like you'd have to sit there and explain everything just to...

  14. LPN/LVN working in L&D??

    postmortem_cowboy replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah Army jobs or for the medical field anyhow are a little less lax, medics are really close to being RN's without the formal training, which is why a medic coming out of the service has the...

  19. DO LVNs GET RESPECT?

    postmortem_cowboy replied to lookingforward's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah that'll never happen, we're in a shortage now as it is... I'd love to see that happen overnight and see how long she stays a nurse, get rid of all her help and then we'll see how she likes being...

    postmortem_cowboy replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  24. DO LVNs GET RESPECT?

    postmortem_cowboy replied to lookingforward's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Unfortunately we all hear that... but that should be something to push you on for your RN, the way they're looking at is is that your half an RN, or half a nurse, even though your a whole LVN.

  25. B careful LPN-RN Online

    postmortem_cowboy replied to mel1977's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Dear Chip, I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying California doesn't accept Excelsior as a reputable form of nursing school. And also what i'm saying is it may have worked for you, but would not...
