    New at prior authorizations

    xoemmylouox replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am an LPN and my job involves PA's. I have been doing this for a few years now. They are time consuming and frustrating. I could be doing so much more if it wasn't for these ridiculous insurance...

    Question re ACLS

    xoemmylouox replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even THINK about taking ACLS before having those rythms down. Just buy/rent a book about them and search online for sample ACLS questions so you know what you are getting yourself into....

    Does your state supply a license plate for NURSES?

    xoemmylouox replied to bema257's topic in General Nursing

    I would NEVER have a plate stating I was a nurse. I wouldn't if I was a doctor, lawyer, etc. It is just asking for trouble in my opinion. Everyone seems to have this false belief that we all make a...

    Think I have to resign...

    xoemmylouox replied to belfry's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly this market is more in favor of employers than employees. Maybe stay until you find work elsewhere? Good

    xoemmylouox replied to Ckwil1948's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry to hear of your situation. It seems to be happening more and more often. Who would have ever thought that so many teachers would be laid off right now as well.. We are living in a sad...

    xoemmylouox replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    I am ashamed to admit it, but I...... FARMVILLE!!!! I love my dumb little farm with my pigs, chickens, and sheep. Since I can't live on one in real life, I'll take what I can get.

    Action on LPN license

    xoemmylouox replied to berryacai19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree. Be honest. You may not get the job, but if you lie they most likely will find out. May not be right away, but when they do you bet they will fire you. Get this license business settled as...

    How to donate medical supplies?

    xoemmylouox replied to Laught3r's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in Urology there were many surgical related items that expired. The doctor that I worked with was from a poor foreign county. Once a year when he visits his family he takes these...

    Anyone know anywhere to get my BLS recert done? I used to always get it at a local hospital, but it seems like they no longer offer this. Mine expires soon.. Anyone know anywhere I can go??

    Nurses dating Doctors??

    xoemmylouox replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't care less who dates who, unless they are your direct manager... then we have a problem. Really everyone is too wrapped up in each others business, and then there are the cases when people...

    Made to float, when I know I will sink.

    xoemmylouox replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    I think that this is a serious, but not suprising new policy. I think we are going to continue to see horrible things like this due to "cutbacks". I think floating can be very helpful when done...

    tired of the board of nursing in MD

    xoemmylouox replied to rayshetta's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sadly MD is not the only State like this. Many of them make things very difficult for Nurses. You next to never get to talk to an actual person, and if you do.. well they cannot help you, and the...

    Burned out already?

    xoemmylouox replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that it is "burnout" so much as you do not enjoy your current position. I feel the same right now. I want to go back to my old job, but I just did not make enough money to support my...

    Im on my own

    xoemmylouox replied to LVN2010M's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Things do get better, but do not fall into a bored routine. That's when med errors happen. Always make sure you do your 5 rights, and you'll be ok.. Always make sure if you have any questions you ask!...

    Is my unit safe?

    xoemmylouox replied to Murse85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Being a charge nurse with less than 5 years experience I would say is unsafe, especially with mostly new grads on the floor as well. Becareful and make sure you document well and have your own...

    Does anyone hate their job as a nurse?

    xoemmylouox replied to Pongoo's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it anymore... I may just have not found my specialty yet, but so far nursing as a whole has been not what I had expected. I want to make a difference in the lives of my patients, but instead...

    The "risk my license" game

    xoemmylouox replied to Orca's topic in General Nursing

    Well I have to say from experience that many employers try to get you to do things out of your scope of practice or things that do risk your license.. I am facing this right now, and you betcha I put...

    Forced to Engage in an illegeal Act!

    xoemmylouox replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    In my facility they have been trying to get me to do things that are out of the scope of the LPN. I said I will not. I was told "well all the other LPN's do it". I simply replied that this LPN would...
