  1. Don't know which route to take

    Cherybaby replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in General Nursing

    You have to do what fits in well with your life. Do you need to be working while doing LPN-BSN? I would imagine that would be extremely difficult. Me, personally? I would go with the self paced...

  2. My boss has asked if i could give oral local injections...

    Cherybaby replied to missyinfl's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Florida as well. I do a lot of dermatology and surgeries related to derm. When we called the BON we were told that LPN's could NOT inject patients with local anesthesia but that RN's...

  3. An abusive nurse husband

    Cherybaby replied to urfoxyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Personally? I would be hesitant to report someone to the BON who has a temper like that. She may end up putting herself in further danger if she were to do something that would compromise someones...

  4. Asking pay rate before being offered the job...

    Cherybaby replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I always ask about the rate of pay when I am offered an interview. I agree about wasting time. I have to divulge all sorts of information about myself so why not ask about pay rate beforehand? It...

  5. Brand New....and Nervous

    Cherybaby replied to SaDie2721's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sensitivity is a wonderful quality! Don't worry about the patients making you cry...most of the elderly are just very misunderstood. They are set in their ways and like things done a certain way....

  6. The IPN finally took my license

    Cherybaby replied to BelleKat's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And, you haven't wasted your life. You were a nurse for 30 years! How can you call that a waste of life? Oh Bellekat...I know how you feel right now. I do. It

  7. Brand New....and Nervous

    Cherybaby replied to SaDie2721's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's been a LONG time since I was a CNA...but I can tell you this. You seem to have the right idea. You need to be a caring and supportive person to do your job. You also need a lot of patience....

  8. IPN Evaluation

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in General Nursing

    No harm done. Thanks for the well wishes.

  9. IPN Evaluation

    Cherybaby posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question and I assure everyone that I searched the ENTIRE site before asking. :) I have to go in for an IPN evaluation as directed by the Board of Nursing. However, I am wondering what the...

  10. IPN Evaluation

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in General Nursing

    The reply I received was that I should have been drug tested on my shift. Instead, by the time I was notified of this...it was already during the 3-11 shift the next day. Yes, our charge nurse...

  11. The IPN finally took my license

    Cherybaby replied to BelleKat's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're an angel. Thank you.

  12. IPN Evaluation

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough question. I was very drowsy at my job one night. My pdoc had just revised my meds and moved up my seizure/bpd meds quite substantially. My charge nurse reported my "condition" to the DON...

  13. The IPN finally took my license

    Cherybaby replied to BelleKat's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to go through an IPN Evaluation. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they do in the evaluation process. BelleKat, I really feel for you. I am in a VERY similar situation having to...

  14. Why "failed" is the wrong word.

    Cherybaby posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For those of you who didn't pass: I want to encourage you to stop using the word "failed". Failure is reserved for those who are never courageous enough to try. That is what failure is. The...

  15. Attn: RNs! Question and Suggestion Re:NCLEX.

    Cherybaby posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First of all, let me suggest the following. Do NOT NOT NOT use the book "Exam Cram" I spent most of my time correcting errors in the book and on the CD. They have made a lot of mistakes in wording...

  16. How do you feel about taking pictures with your patients?

    Cherybaby replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's a great one! I don't mind having my picture taken with my patients. For some reason, I believe if they want me in it, I have touched a part of their lives a bit more profoundly. How many...

  17. Other nurses taking over your patients without asking?

    Cherybaby replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    i think this sort of thinking is dangerous for the patient. the point is to be there for the patient...not whether or not someone is being made to "look/feel like an idiot". the only person who can...

    Cherybaby replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

  20. Ever notice this about allnurses?

    Cherybaby replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose this is most often seen in the student forums. There are repetative posts about who passed at how many questions. You see hundreds of those threads, each one started by a new member....

  21. Ever notice this about allnurses?

    Cherybaby replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is just a continued lack of patience on behalf of the nurses who have been here the longest. I try to remember that a lot of people on here are new. Even though I have been a member for a...

    Cherybaby replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

  23. People with tatoos afraid of needles??

    Cherybaby replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    I have had patients who were tattoo'd good and pierced to the hilt and still, they feared getting a shot. Usually, I found it is the big tough guys who hit the floor the most. The doc I used to...

  24. Any other new nurses slapping their heads saying DUH!?

    Cherybaby replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    I went from working dermatalogy for eight years to working long term care. You want to feel like an idiot? Go from working private practice to a skilled nursing facility. You get used to the word,...

  25. Stalling to take NCLEX

    Cherybaby replied to Butterflybee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Darlin', I waited nine years to take the boards. I was going through a very nasty divorce at the time I finished nursing school. And eventually, all those years went by and I never took it. I took...
