  3. I'm an LPN but am often called a medtech

    Conqueror+ replied to Shasha831's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    A nurse working as an aide is fine until something goes wrong with the patient and someone realizes a licensed nurse was caring for them. You are still responsible no matter what they tell

  5. Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Conqueror+ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We had an unknown food thief. A big gorgeous bowl of beef stew with a stack of ritz crackers and 60mls of senna lax added. Identified a few hours into shift. The so and so actually DEMANDED to know...

  6. Fake Nurse?

    Conqueror+ replied to RN1994#'s topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Even if they call it a loan in my mind it is a gift. Otherwise you have to be prepared to lose the money or the relationship. Usually

  7. New Nurse Exhausted from Extremely Long Shifts? Help?

    Conqueror+ replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The odd thing about saying say 99 times is that you will be hated for saying no JUST ONCE. You will not be appreciated but taken for granted instead. Start like you wish to

  8. Fake Nurse?

    Conqueror+ replied to RN1994#'s topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Glad I'm not in your family. This is also why I city bussed, worked, and Ramen noodled my way through LPN school. People think they own you because they helped you.

  9. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Conqueror+ replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Who should get to decide this? There could be 100 reasons and none of them should matter. I have coworkers who wonder why I won't donate organs and its none of their business. It is NOT our job as...

  11. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Conqueror+ replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    I think that asking a parent who has already said no twice "don't you want a piece of your daughter to live on in others ?" Is just beyond. I have also heard "why are you doing so much for an organ...

  12. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Conqueror+ replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think its great that you are thoughtful enough to ask the question and be honest about your insecurities. I had two male family members who became nurses young and were given the gay "side eye"...

  13. Restraints. Act first, then order? A Judgement Call.

    Conqueror+ replied to ARose11's topic in General Nursing

    We cannot apply restraints before the order is given. I also ask myself, what happens if the doc does not give the order? Sure you take the restraints off right away but what have you done

  14. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    Conqueror+ replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    When people say ax instead of ask. I...just...can't. I have heard it from Doctors and dishwashers. I could just go Lizzy Borden on them. Also lieberry (library) and finna (about to). I love being from...

  16. I'm in tears--to accept or decline?

    Conqueror+ replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    Turn it down and be prepared for her to hold it against you. People tend to forget that students need something from their professors, not the other way around. I hope it works out well for

  17. How old is too old to safely practice?

    Conqueror+ replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Which is why you either cannot get a rental car or you must pay a premium to do so. There is a field called actuarial SCIENCE. They generate those nifty grids that you use to look up your insurance...

  20. anxiety about evening Childcare

    Conqueror+ replied to Mahogany77's topic in General Nursing

    Your son doesn't comprehend why you aren't there. You just aren't. I am not saying it to bash you I am just saying intent doesn't affect impact. If you accidentally hit me with your car vs on purpose...

  22. anxiety about evening Childcare

    Conqueror+ replied to Mahogany77's topic in General Nursing

    I have also never met a child that said "gee I wish I could have had more cool "stuff" as a kid instead of time and attention from my parents". There is a lot of levels between getting by and crushing...

  23. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Conqueror+ replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But what about a situation like this one where the nurses turn on you and then management turns on you too? Who benefits? What you suggest only works if the nurse have enough sense to direct their...

  24. How old is too old to safely practice?

    Conqueror+ replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What are you talking about ? I was not disrespecting anyone. My only point is that the 60 is the new 40 campaign seemed to crop up around the same time the retirement age was raised. I felt it was put...

  25. More preceptors than you need

    Conqueror+ posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
