    Suspension

    xoemmylouox replied to B51toad's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am surprised by this. Make sure you documented who you spoke with regarding this so if this would happen to be untrue, you have a name of a person who gave you this

    Selfish ramblings of a nurse who doesn't make $52 million a year.

    xoemmylouox replied to bluebirdflyx's topic in General Nursing

    There will always be someone who has it worse than you do. That doesn't mean you can't take a minute to throw yourself a pitty party. I think most of us earn the right to complain about busting our...

    I Should Be in Jail

    xoemmylouox replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I think we have all seen that absence of love that should be there. It is beyond infuriating and brings about a whole host of emotions including anger, sadness, and hopelessness. Thank you to the...

    I learned that I am SOOOOOO grateful I took the spring semester off from classes. I simply could not have kept focused and dedicated with everything going on. That my Husband's Grandmother finally...

    Disciplinary hearing

    xoemmylouox replied to Goateedude's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the punishment was way overboard with the first issue. The second issue again not that big of a deal, but a lesson to not talk poorly of your employer on social media. (Also don't have...

    Anyone bridged from LPN/LVN to RN??..is it worth it?

    xoemmylouox replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I am working on my bridge (hopefully if accepted this spring). The sallary range for LPN's varies greatly depending on specialty and location. My wages have ranged from an LPN from $13.75 - over...

    Are clinic and school nursing jobs "too easy"

    xoemmylouox replied to Jenfred's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not 100% sure you are an ADN, but will assume so at this point. You aren't currently working in an acute care setting so I'm not sure there is a huge difference in the attractivness of a job...

    Experience .... question Should I go or stay ?

    xoemmylouox replied to wowbea's topic in General Nursing

    One of the jobs I work is in a clinic. Believe me I am still overworked. I miss my breaks frequently because as the PP said - patients come first. That being said I do not volunteer my time to ANY...

    Nursing license

    xoemmylouox replied to Nursing5000's topic in General Nursing

    I understand you are frustrated, however things are what they are. You did fail to complete the process of graduation so now you must jump through hoops to get this problem fixed. Take the class, make...

    lost license, now what

    xoemmylouox replied to rnnolonger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is there a reason you gave your license up without a fight? I'm not sure what to suggest as you are no longer a nurse. You have the education, but not the license to go with it. That gets

    How old is too old for an Algebra class

    I really think that Dead is the age that qualifies as being too old. Otherwise you aren't too old if you have the mental

    Need help in the worst way

    xoemmylouox replied to JessikahAnn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree get that GED. Then talk to your local schools. DO research into the schools. Not all schools are the same and some will deceive you and end up costing you a lot of $$$$ with little

    clinical instructor calling in sick

    xoemmylouox replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It happens. I don't know of any local schools that have "on call" or back up clinical instructors. Each school also has their own policy on how students must "make up" the clinical time. I can...

    First day of class

    I agree with the PP. Google Icebreakers. You can specify by the size of your class. If you have a larger group I like to do the whole you are shipwrecked on an island and only have so many items you...

    Health Insurance

    xoemmylouox replied to dani_mcb's topic in General Nursing

    I would only believe that to be a catastrophic plan. That is a heck of a price for health insurance. Maybe they qualified for assistance with paying for insurance. I pay around $500 for my family a...

    Gutless Colleagues

    xoemmylouox replied to LPC2RN's topic in Psychiatric

    I don't blame you for being mad. I would be as well. How dare you get hurt and they stand there. I would understand more if it was just one person who froze in the moment, but there were two of them....

    Hospital that bans family members

    xoemmylouox replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's terrible. As long as families are being well behaved (considering the circumstances) they should be allowed to stay regardless of "policy". This is where common sense has to step in. I'm sorry...

    Frustrated with non-compliance

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I get so sick of hounding people to make & keep their reck appts. For people who take control substance/anti-depressants/anti-anxiety/ADHD meds - most of the MD's expect them to be seen at a...

    have any of you left nursing

    xoemmylouox replied to StillRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know plenty that have left the bedside due to the unrealistic demands that are placed upon them. Most stayed in "nursing" just other positions (insurance, teaching, outpt office, informatics, etc)....
