  1. Speaking Spanish Helpful?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    My husband learned Spanish on his own. I don't know that he would be considered fluent, but I'm impressed. He has spent a lot of time working on it. At his job there are many non-English speaking...

  3. what can u say about doctors taking-up nursing

    FROGGYLEGS replied to yousev's topic in California Nursing

    That's interesting. I've never heard of foreign doctors coming to the US to be nurses either. I guess it makes sense though if they can't be US doctors. It would be interesting to know how that...

  5. what can u say about doctors taking-up nursing

    FROGGYLEGS replied to yousev's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not sure that I am following what you are trying to say. I personally don't know any doctors that switched over to nursing. I can't see why doctors would take up nursing for profit because I'm...

  6. Nursing School Bloopers

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    When we had first started clinicals we were assingned to do total care for one or two patients each. Nothing too in depth; just ADL type things. A good friend of mine had this confused elderly lady....

  7. Question re: gender

    FROGGYLEGS replied to nurseunderwater's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    WOW!...that is all I can say. I can literally count the number of male nurses I've worked with on my fingers. On the other hand, I've worked with countless female

  8. compartment syndrome-did I cause it?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Lynn RN ER TX's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize that some facilities weren't IV Phenergan any longer. That is interesting and more than a little scary for those of us who are still expected

  9. What are your favorite nursing shoes?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to mollyjeanrn's topic in General Nursing

    My favorites have been the lightweight Rockers clogs...I think they are called-r-clogs. I adore clogs of any variety. I haven't ever had any Danskos or Birki nursing shoes. The pair of Birkenstock...

  10. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    FROGGYLEGS replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem with the RN lies in the fact that it is stated that this is a TEAM nursing floor. If the hospital has delegated it to be a team floor, I can not understand how you can justify...

  11. Can nurses in the US really work a straight 24 hour shift??

    FROGGYLEGS replied to care bear's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the legal limit in TN is 20 hours, but thats not much better than

  12. afraid of losing my liscense

    FROGGYLEGS replied to nursecatnfl's topic in Correctional

    I used to work in corrections. I still miss it. It was my favorite job. :) Our protocol for chest pain also included an ECG. We gave one ASA, antacid, ran the ECG, and started O2 @ 2. I say...

  13. Need some advice, please

    FROGGYLEGS replied to MEDICENEMAN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'd like to add that I've seen several people on the EC student boards who were paramedics reccomend working for a short while at a hospital as a patient care assistant. According to them you can...

  14. Need some advice, please

    FROGGYLEGS replied to MEDICENEMAN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would also reccomend going straight for the RN through Excelsior. I am an LPN who is working through the Excelsior program now. A lot of people who go through LPN training eventually end up...

  15. Male coworkers harrassing female staff...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have a HR dept? I agree that the letter is a bad idea. Your written words could easily be manipulated into implying something you did not intend and I agree that it could be seen as a...

  16. transgender nurse (transvestite)

    FROGGYLEGS replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If I were lying sick in a hopsital, I would be concerned about my own health and receiving a decent quality of medical care. I would just want a good nurse and I don't think I would care who they...

  17. mandatory overtime policy? need to vent

    FROGGYLEGS replied to longtermcarern's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was working LTC at this one facility about two years ago. It was the Fourth of July and we were at one of my co-worker's house because they were having a party of sorts. The DON called trying to...

  18. Maybe Someone can Help

    FROGGYLEGS replied to michw2's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that the experience of working as a nurse extern will benefit you when you start interviewing for nursing positions. I took a job as a nurses aid in school for that reason alone. In...

  19. need nursing info for cna and lpn

    FROGGYLEGS replied to VIVIANWILSON2879's topic in Florida Nursing

    Most of the technical/vocational schools that teach the CNA and LPN programs also have the Adult Basic Education classes which will prepare you to pass the GED. I would highly encourage you to...

  20. What is more important to you in a job...money or environment?

    FROGGYLEGS posted a topic in General Nursing

    When you look for a job or when you accepted your job, do you choose the position based on salary or how you feel you would enjoy working there? What do you base your job choices on? At the moment I...

  21. What is more important to you in a job...money or environment?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I like your post. Those are my opinions exactly. Hopefully I can find a position something like

  22. Any state employed nurses? What do you think about it?

    FROGGYLEGS posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hi. I am an LPN working at a LTC facility in Memphis. My salary is great; my job is not. I no longer feel that this is an acceptable place to work. I've been hanging on by a thread there for the...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to mandykal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I understand that our elderly are from a different era and therefore have a different value system. I was at first shocked by it...not because I don't believe discrimination occurs, but because I'd...

  24. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    FROGGYLEGS replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    Still it seems like it would be easy to get the information so you can cheat. Maybe I say that because I was accustomed to getting a completely different test. Different classes got different tests...

  25. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    FROGGYLEGS replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I would also like to add that I am amazed your instructor recycles tests like that. It looks like cheating would be expected to occur if you gave the exact same test
