  1. Seeing this quite a bit

    CloudySue replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is a perfect example. From MaleNurseGA's post, he strikes me as the coworker you do not want to get stuck with if you want to get any work done! I imagine that 1) no one can ever get a word in...

  2. Seeing this quite a bit

    CloudySue replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, malenursega, that was the biggest run-on sentence I've ever seen in my life. You're just playing with me,

  3. Wrote up a CNA, but I was the one who got the boot!

    CloudySue replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, a lot of the behavior is downright bullying. It's not allowed in the schools, why is it in the

  4. Not falling for that old trick

    CloudySue replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For some reason, this has ALWAYS happened to me... I call out sick, and right after I do, I start to feel better and question whether or not I should still come

  5. new allnurses logo - feedback wanted

    CloudySue replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I think the dot com part should stay. It's a website

  6. Nurse with Disdain

    CloudySue replied to StuckInTheMiddle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this dude has flown the coop. He sounds narcissistic and arrogant to me. Really, he can make patients laugh? He must be so charming and witty. If he's 30ish and turning sour on his second...

  7. Seeing this quite a bit

    CloudySue replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "...Don't see the problem." For me, it has a lot to do with the English teachers I had in high school. Poor grammar and punctuation was absolutely not tolerated. It was a value instilled in me at a...

  8. Describe your med pass!

    CloudySue replied to CloudySue's topic in Camp

    Al, the kid will only take his meds with whipped cream? Wow, how nice are his

  9. New to PDN

    CloudySue replied to HodagNurse's topic in Private Duty

    I always thought about looking into that, the money would be better, but I like that my agency takes care of getting new cases, takes care of all the paperwork and legal stuff, provides training and...

  10. You might be a night shifter if...

    CloudySue replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    ...You say "Good morning" to your children when they get home from school, and call dinner "your

  11. New to PDN

    CloudySue replied to HodagNurse's topic in Private Duty

    You may get more responses from the section "Entrepreneurs in Nursing". There's some information there. There may be some independent nurse contractors on this board, but for the most part we work...

    CloudySue replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Must... hold... back.... Irony.... killing...

  13. Seeing this quite a bit

    CloudySue replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And here's my positive spin about being an LPN... In my second year of nursing, I made more than I was making when I was an elementary school teacher. Granted, it was 12 months of working instead of...

  14. Seeing this quite a bit

    CloudySue replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with that one! Not just here on AN, but all over Facebook and anywhere else I see people expressing themselves! To me, one's grammar and spelling is a presentation of oneself. We cannot see...

  15. Funny & Cute Things Our Demented Patients Say

    CloudySue replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Reminds me of Deb (and her sister Flo) from Finding

  16. How do you do this, day in/day out?

    CloudySue replied to proudauntie415's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sadly, au contraire. In my national chain facility, every nurse had the word "supervisor" on their nametags next to their credential, ie: RN supervisor or LPN supervisor. We were ALL the CNA's...

  17. You might be a night shifter if...

    CloudySue replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    You go through multiple bottles of melatonin and Vitamin D each

  18. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    CloudySue replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I also believe that you did not overreact. I agree with the sentiment of what all other posters have expressed here regarding sleeping on the job. However, I am curious as to why you have an A/V...

  19. Which SNF to work for??

    CloudySue replied to raynbabe07's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    By any chance, was the 5 star facility a non-profit? I worked in a national chain that was be-yoo-ti-ful inside and out. Awful, awful place. I had done clinicals in a county'owned non-profit home and...

  20. You might be a night shifter if...

    CloudySue replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    ...You are driving home on Monday at 7:15 am passing all the tired, coffee-drinking drivers heading off to work, with the radio DJ's bemoaning Monday morning... knowing that you will be in bed in a...

  21. Splendid Opportunities in Nursing

    CloudySue replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Oh, I dunno... I would have liked avoiding all that work in nursing school and dealing w all those bizzarro instructors!

  22. PDN is killing me!

    CloudySue replied to maataus's topic in Private Duty

    As an LPN I made 15K more in my second year of PDN than I did working in a nursing home. I get bored at times, but I try and mix it up with multiple cases, some weeks I have a different case every...

  23. Do your families give you anything for the holidays?

    CloudySue replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I know tone of voice gets lost in writing, so you are certain she just wasn't telling you as a matter of interest, rather than accusing you of not doing enough? That WAS her full time case, maybe she...

  24. How do you do this, day in/day out?

    CloudySue replied to proudauntie415's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I want to clarify that I didn't run away in defeat, nor did I simply back down from the CNAs. I realized that I was at the point in my life where I didn't have to keep returning to a place where I was...

  25. State Survey all this week.

    CloudySue replied to KRODD's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Our facility would freak out as soon as that time window opened up in which the state would come, they went on a rampage for months, going over things like crazy every day as if the state was just...
