Well it's official now, no longer resource and full time Oncology come Sunday, thought about working Saturday night for one last resource shift for the money before my pay deduction takes effect but signed up for $15 stipend Sunday night instead.......

What does the state do for the inmates that is considered pampering?

I suffer from IBS and while I don't recall ever having a diarrhea attack while doing a procedure, I do remember when I worked long term care as the night nurse we were required to do all the am suppositories to the residents not having bowel movement...

Well I'm going to have to check this out, thanks for giving us a more detailed look at it. If this is the case then I would have to agree with it being an inappropriate depiction of nurses. I've tried searching the web to get a file of it that can be...

I would have to actually see the commercial to base any real answer on its meaning, but if the nurse lost might the narrator meant that it's lucky for his patients that he was in the losing, so they could continue to have him in nursing?

Thanks a million LPN2Be2004!!! I have been sick of my avatar for the longest and wanted to change it, and have been unable to do so, did just what you suggested, went to my msn group site, uploaded the picture I wanted, right clicked it, went to pro...

Will apologize in advance for the length of this thread so here goes......... I am an LVN in Texas currently working in the Resource unit of the best hospital in town and my passion has always been Oncology but they only staff RN's so I could only wo...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say probably not, depending on the state you are working in of course, and what LVN/LPN's are allowed to do in that state, but here in Texas, there is too much an LVN can not do to make it a feasible part of Onc...

FutureNurse2005, I am very sorry for my post yesterday morning and my behavior, it was rude of me to answer you like that, when I simply could have passed it up, or said that as far as Canada goes I couldn't answer it due to not having any knowledge ...

First of all let me say good morning to everyone and hope you have a nice start to a wonderful weekend, now let me ask some questions to the poster of this topic. (Is poster the appropriate title?)... anyway...... 1. At what point did you come to the...

James Hetfield........ that's all, just him... pleeeeeeeeeeeeease:D (for those who don't know of him, Metallica.

I've used hotwire.com for most of my travels to D.C. and have been very pleased with the costs.

Thank you for your replies, yes I do feel like I have a wonderful oppurtunity with this, I have so many questions about the program but don't know where to start. But you'll definately be one of the first to know when they come up. Thanks again for y...

I know this is a little off the topic, but something that I've always pondered..... know how in the nursing homes, there is always music time (which I always enjoyed listening to when I worked there) but it's usually piano gospel music since that is ...

Awwwww I personally don't think it's cheezy at all, these little moments are what makes it all worth while, it's like children, the really big moments are the ones that are the most simple (did that make sense?) anyway one of mine, after 13 years I h...

LPNs do practical tasks, not assessments. That's why they aren't allowed to IV push dangerous drugs like narcotics. It must depend on the state you practice in, here in Texas LVN's do push narcotics.

I've never taken a drug from work, but I admit I eat the Saltines like they're going out of style (something about saltines at work is better than the ones in my pantry), and I have taken a soda from the fridge a time or two, not too much of a proble...

On the BSN LPN issue. I think it's great. I say let 'em all get BSNs! What difference does it make what they do with their free time and money? [/b] Haven't logged on in a while, been busy with my son starting school and with my getting ready to sta...

I'm a per diem LVN and it's 60% above the full time LVN's at the hospital I work for.

I work with an 23 year old BSN that is a very nice girl and one night we were talking about her schooling and how hard it was and something she said stuck out.... " when I first started school I was trying so hard to get good grades that I was killin...

We are now using this new scrub pad that is included with the iv start kits, that allows us to keep an iv in for 96 hours instead of the 72 hour with alcohol. The scrubbers are also packaged in seperate containers if you're just needing one for centr...

I guess I'm still stuck in the past, I still think Dana Carvey and Martin Short are the funniest comedians out there.

Three little pigs go out to eat, the waiter comes to the table and asks what they would like to drink.... first pig says "Coke", second pig says "iced tea", third pig says "water, lots of water, water". Waiter comes back to take their orders.... firs...

Sort of embarassed to admit this on a public board, but years ago I was misdiagnosed with Colitis, underwent many bowel studies and medications to find that it was truly IBS. It's something that I've learned to live with and prepare for the events. I...

"Don't just get it clean, get it Oxyclean!!!" I use it in all my laundry and love it too.Damn I need that avatar howie for MY name
