  1. My question is: Why are nurses so mean to each other?

    LadyJRN1 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello everyone! I am not here to complain; however, I would like to vent just a little. I was recently let go from a job because my boss believed someone who was not an RN take a comment totally out...

  2. I am so tired of bedside nursing!!!

    LadyJRN1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am so absolutely tired of bedside nursing!! I have done critical care, med-surg, and orthopedics. Patients are so demanding, wanting pain meds all the time, dealing with the families who annoying....

  3. Wanting to know about psychiatric facilities in MD/DC area?

    LadyJRN1 posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hello! I am interested in working as a psych nurse and was wandering if anyone can give me any input in which facilities in the Baltimore/DC area are the best to work at as far as reputation and pay?...

  4. LPNs Supervising RNs

    LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The bottom line is and everyone knows that it is true that LPN's and CNA's are the low men on the pole and it is no secret. It doesn't matter if you have 1000 years experience behind you as an LPN,...

  5. RN responsibilities in LTC

    LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If have met enough to form my opinion that LPN's and CNA's are trouble and I choose to stay away from them. I only speak to them on a professional basis and that is

  6. RN responsibilities in LTC

    LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In all of my years of nursing I have yet to be convinced that there is a decent, trustworthy CNA or LPN out

  7. LPNs Supervising RNs

    LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Piece of advice - if you are given an order by an LPN or ever told anything about a patient or resident by an LPN, double check it yourself or call an another RN or your DON. LPN's love to burn RN's...

  8. LPNs Supervising RNs

    LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I went to LPN school, I didn't take all the courses listed because they were for the RN's not the LPN's. These classes are not offered for every LPN course - I went to the top LPN school in the...

  9. LPNs Supervising RNs

    LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I disagree. RN's are taught more deeper assessment and leadership skills. I am an RN also and still wouldn't ever work under or for an LPN, end of story. LPN's don't have to take all the classes...

  10. i`m desperate in getting any help that i can get.........

    LadyJRN1 replied to dez72's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    have you taken a review course to help you learn how to take the test? i paid $300 and learned how to read the questions and not to panic during the exam. i know kaplan offers

  11. hired after age 58 as rn?

    LadyJRN1 replied to suespets's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school with a lady who was 58 and got a job working in the trauma unit of a local hospital and is doing extremely well at

  12. LPNs Supervising RNs

    LadyJRN1 replied to aloha551's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That is unacceptable! LPN's are not equal and will never be to RN's and I would never work under an LPN EVER!!! I worked too long and too hard to be an RN and that to me is demeaning. Not only...

  13. Nurses Past Their Prime

    LadyJRN1 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    my attitude is just fine and thank you for your concern. i am and will never be responsible for the nursing shortage. i will say after reading most of these entries that if you look the younger...

  14. Nurses Past Their Prime

    LadyJRN1 replied to dialysis12041999's topic in General Nursing

    There comes a time in an older nurses career when he/she just can't cut it anymore, but they are too prideful to get out of the business therefore making it ultimately miserable for newer nurses to...

  15. Why the Customer Service emphasis?

    LadyJRN1 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    so true. then the scores are looked at by management and then of course you hear about them at staff meetings where they stress that you have to be nice to the patients and the families regardless if...

  16. RN responsibilities in LTC

    LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can speak for the LPN's and CNA's I have dealt with and yes they have caused me much grief and personal mental anguish at the workplace. However, if more LPN's and CNA's knew their position and...

  17. RN responsibilities in LTC

    LadyJRN1 replied to saraltx's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I beg to differ that TITLE does make the person and the profession. How many times as an LPN were you asked if you were going to be an RN and you know that you were asked. I am very much a team...

  18. lunch time insubordination

    LadyJRN1 replied to nurseulove's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. Even if one is not on the clock and the person in the bathroom was OK, the CNA should have at least helped or found other help for the RN. That is why they are called "nursing...

    Hang in there! We have all felt or do feel this way right now. It is sad to say but this is the clinical setting. Venting does help you mentally to get it off your

  21. Question about pumping at work.

    LadyJRN1 replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have worked with nurses who pumped and they just excuse themselves and do it in private. We other nurses understood and it was never an issue. Hopefully your co-workers will understand and not...

  22. lunch time insubordination

    LadyJRN1 replied to nurseulove's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the point. The point is that the CNA was asked to help the nurse and made excuses to do so. When a subordinate is asked to help, unless they are in an emergency situation, they should...

    LadyJRN1 replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing
