Please go into nursing! We need more nurses for the future! Have fun, but be responsible. Have your family when you are mature enough to make wise decisions about child care,etc. I would definatly work a few years before starting a family, I just think it would be easier, be sure your husband also has a realistic view of your life together

I work in an Out patient Endoscopy Center. We have a doctor who is excellent, but he is constantly late and behind schedule. Guess who hears all the complaints and gets treated badly? Me. the Pre-Op Nurse. I have gotten to where I say, "I understand. I would be hungry and bored and anxious too. Please let the doctor know how you feel." Do they? nooooooo. WHen he rushes in and says "Sorry for the delay" they ALWAYS say "Oh thats ok, doctor." Grrrrrrrrrrr

I have been an LPN for 23 years, but I just started working per diem in a nursing home. I have a couple questions. Since I work thru an agency, there really is not Orientation. So, I ask, what is the best way to manage my time? When do you start your "Treatments," dressing changes, etc. After I finish morning meds,etc, its lunch time, then everyone goes off to therapy, visitors,etc. Also, I cannot believe that the other LPNs are really doing their "Treatments" For instance, when I go to put Skin Prep on someone's heels, they act like they never heard of it before. Are people cheatin on their chartin?
