I am a nurse and my husband is a Funeral Director. I am appalled at the stories he tells me about the bodies that he gets. Now understand, these people were not going to the Medical Examiners office, they were a direct to a funeral home. Their IV'...

Several months ago I received my 5th and 6th coronary stents in my LAD (all six are in my LAD). I was 41 when I received my first stent and am now 49. After my last two stents I was given limitations; no overnights, no doubles and no lifting over 5...

Eight to Ten Patients....I had 20 Rehab patients the other night. One new admit, new orders for over 1/2 of the patients and a night nurse that came on and said that if she had to do all the orders she was leaving. So I didn't get out of there unti...

I am looking to move to South Australia within the next few years. Currently I am a LPN Triage Nurse. Is it only RN's in Oz? Just not sure I want my RN here in the US...actually not sure I want my RN period...But was just wondering about LPN's the...

I know of two times when people said they were nurses. Both of these girls worked as MA's in doctors offices. One just simply called herself a nurse, the other one had the nerve to write RN after her name. Not only did she write RN after her name,...

Yes, it is unfortunate she feels she needs to call herself a nurse. The only time it would be illegal is if she tried to present herself as a nurse for employment. I've heard that there are Medical Assistants that call themselves Physicans Assitant...

LPN/LVN Here in Central PA are big time in LTC. If are lucky enough to work in a hospital you will be a Tech, NOT a nurse. And I hear it's not all that bad. NO you are NOT an aide, you do lines, phlebotomy, injections, trachs, etc. Without having...

Oh how true...as soon as you say you are a nurse...the first response seems to be...RN? I'm only a few classes away from my RN....it's sad, I've met some wonderful LPN's that I would let take care of me over some of the RN's I've met...I believe a b...

Here in Central PA LPN's can find a job pretty easy. Although, most hospitals are very limited on the LPN positions they have, if they have any at all. Several hospitals in the area did try the NO LPN/LVN, but they found they needed LPN/LVN's....go...

God Bless all of you who work correctional nursing...I gave it my best shot...No problem with the inmates or the CO's....the agency that maintains the medical department is not one that I would ever work for again...and unfortunately, they have all t...

Inmate Attacks prison nurse Video - FileCabi.net Ouch!!!! I'm starting in a local county jail this coming week....any suggestions....As in all nursing...I've always felt the safest way to handle things is keep your eyes open and your mouth shut....an...

Thank you....that is pretty much what I've been told by all..."Do NOT let them play you".....one of the local counties just had three nurses walked out because they became "involved" with inmates....I have no desire to take the chance of losing my li...
