  1. I was violated by a doctor

    Cherybaby replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Mr._____, I see that you came to our clinic a few months back for STD/HIV testing. Are you wanting to get tested today?" This was an appropriate question to ask. You had been tested before and he...

  2. Having a hard time deciding what on to do with my life

    Cherybaby replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That was warm and compassionate.

  3. Having a hard time deciding what on to do with my life

    Cherybaby replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I spent a lot of years letting "love" dictate what I was going to do with my life. A lot of wasted years. If this love of yours is true and real...then he will love and respect you for going after...

  4. Can you take the NCLEX-LPN after taking a yr. of the RN program?

    Cherybaby replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I never knew that. Wish I had. I would have challenged the NCLEX LPN a long time ago!!

  5. Can you take the NCLEX-LPN after taking a yr. of the RN program?

    Cherybaby replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. You have to be a graduate of an licensed and accredited LPN program in order to sit for the NCLEX-LPN. At least that's Florida state rules. I doubt it's different anywhere else

  6. Nurse stereotypes

    Cherybaby replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    Now THAT is

  7. t/c or "to consider" - is this universal?

    Cherybaby replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I do a lot of transcription work for docs and have never come across

  8. The Art of Letting Go

    Cherybaby replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, Tait. Sometimes, we have to just "let go and let God". It's never easy to watch a patient in the midst of what you described. I definately know the heartbreak you were feeling....

  9. I Need Help With A Present For My Wife

    Cherybaby replied to nursingstudentspous's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My husband did this for me. The stethoscope had my name on it...and he wrote "future LPN". It made me feel so good! Even though I am a nurse now and have been for awhile, I still get a kick out of...

  10. Anyone who was a secretary now a nurse?

    Cherybaby replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't a secretary, but I was a paralegal. Started as an administrative assistant in a law firm originally. I did that for 15 years before nursing became a calling for me. You have to assess your...

  11. Feeling guilty

    Cherybaby replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Jessie - sometimes things happen. Like another poster had said...you could have spent all day in her room doing the things that you wanted to do...and she still would have ended up in this situation....

  12. SHould I just go straight to the RN program????

    Cherybaby replied to confused0101's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think it will bode well for you giving up in the middle (actually, almost the end!) of your LPN schooling. Favoritism is something that occurs at every school, not just yours. Look at the...

  13. Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

    Cherybaby replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    You need to follow up with you DON and make sure that the situation was indeed followed up. The DON in the facility we worked at had NO trouble suspending a CNA that was disrespectful to any of the...

  14. Am i too old to start aiming for a nursing career

    Cherybaby replied to rompril's topic in General Nursing

    I was a paralegal for nearly 15 years before I decided to become a nurse in 1999 at the ripe old age of 33. There was nothing in the world more gratifying than coming home after school, sitting down...

  15. LPN's- what else is there besides LTC??

    Cherybaby replied to Sarahtonin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Rehab centers, like the above poster mentioned, are great spots for LPN's. Our dialysis centers here take LPN's, but not all do. I work(ed) in a surgery center for years doing outpatient surgery....

  16. Just passed boards, but graduated 3years ago!!!

    Cherybaby replied to xLovelyMakeupx's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated nursing school in 1999. Due to a really ugly divorce, I never ended up taking my boards. Before I knew it...nearly 10 years had gone by. I took the NCLEX in late 2007 and passed it....

  17. I'm guilty. It's about the condom catheter

    Cherybaby replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that I would have done that necessarily...but no matter. You got the job done and that is what is important. I, too, thought it could be an organic response...but you know the patient...

  18. jobs for nurses in recovery?????????

    Cherybaby replied to dfhcih's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is wonderful for you! I am closing in on my time to be able to go back to work, with restriction of course. I would love to know where in the interview process you brought up your recovery. How...

  19. Over Confident GN's

    Cherybaby replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    She doesn't sound like the type that will take constructive criticism very well. Actually, she sounds more like the "in one ear, out the other" type of person. She obviously knows it all. People...

  20. NEW THREAD!!!...The Stop the Panicking Already, !!!..thread

    Cherybaby replied to RuRnurse?'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    Awesome statement. (And, off topic for a second, silvergirl? I am going to see U23D on Friday! Very excited!) Resume

  21. Is it possible to get a titer for H1N1?

    Cherybaby replied to tejon's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is all the information I could find on N1H1 titers. Maybe indigo girl will know something more.

  22. they see dead people

    Cherybaby replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when my husband was in ICU. Threw a few pulmonary emboli to the lungs after a standard ORIF surgery on his left femur. There were a lot of touch and go hours there where his doc was...

  23. lpn in recovery now board hearing

    Cherybaby replied to needhelp_asap's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What I found helpful when I went up before the Board (Florida) was to have my "story" written out on a piece of paper. Not long and detailed accounts, but rather, a letter stating what I did, that I...

  24. Nurses Self Reporting (MICH)

    Cherybaby replied to Tanlie226's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I self-reported (opiate diversion) and it was the best thing I ever did. The Board of Nursing in Florida came down MUCH easier on me than on others who were "caught" by their employers. I was...

  25. To all nurses planning to give the H1N1 vaccine to pregnant women

    Cherybaby replied to ozoneranger's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I really don't see where there is room for sarcasm on this topic. It is for an exchange of ideas and information. What you do or don't do ultimately rests with you, of course, but it couldn't...
