    School accredition

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

    If you are a licensed nurse (finished school & passed the NCLEX) I would at least apply to jobs. There are plenty of nurses in your shoes that have found jobs. It may be a bit more difficult and...

    What is fair

    xoemmylouox replied to Elisabetta3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are all just one person. Sometimes things have to get passed onto the next shift. That is where teamwork comes into play. I hate leaving things for other people, but again I can only do so much....

    Felt so Bad for Resident...so Impressed with CNAs

    xoemmylouox replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well I'm glad that the CNAs stepped in. I'm kind of petty... So to inconvenience the office manager I might try faxing her private phone number.. This is a GREAT way to irritate someone. I might have...

    Complaining about your employer, loudly, at nurses' station

    xoemmylouox replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I vent about my employer plenty. NEVER in front of patients though. I want them to not doubt me at all. (After all a happy and confident patient is less likely to sue). Seriously though, keep your...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    xoemmylouox replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    It's just sad that some cannot rise above the same life their parents provided them as children. Not enough of them recognize their worth or skills. Some stop the cycle, but not enough. The fact that...

    Anxiety about diseases

    xoemmylouox replied to ka2rn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I understand being concerned. You are beyond that point. Acute care can be scary. I would start with talking to a mental health provider before you leave acute care. I wish you the best of luck with...

    New laws requiring LPNs and RNs to become BSN by 2016

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

    It's not going to happen in the next 2 years. M-a-y-b-e in 2040 or 2050, but I doubt it. They have said that LPNs will be phased out for how many years now? Hasn't happened. Now it is unlikely to get...

    Taking your benefits away one by one

    xoemmylouox replied to JJ the crit RN's topic in General Nursing

    We are slowly but surely losing ours as well. So far our supplies have not been affected, but our insurance rates are up, lost over 500hrs of set aside "sick" time (and wasn't paid for a dime of those...

    Educating patients on ER use

    xoemmylouox replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I don't believe that insurances can charge you a copay for wellness/preventative care. It is worth looking into because you might have paid for something that should have been "free" as long as you...

    What are some nursing jobs that involve a lot of travel?

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    xoemmylouox replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    This is so sad. Even if the parents believe she is alive, what about her quality of life? I cannot even begin to imagine the pain of having a child die, but I wouldn't want them to "live" like this. I...

    Can I lose my license???

    xoemmylouox replied to Staceyface65's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not a good idea at all. I know of someone else who had done this. It was to "cure" their hangover while at work. I'm guessing that while those details were left out, this was a similar situation. I...

    Instructor taking too long to post grades

    xoemmylouox replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had the same thing with many of my instructors this month. My english professor being the worst. We had to sumit final papers without the advice that should have been provided. They did admit they...

    Secret Santa

    xoemmylouox replied to Salzb2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't usually participate in the gift exchange. I don't want to buy something for someone that they don't want and I really don't want more crap in my house. You don't have to feel bad about not...

    Yesterday was weird

    xoemmylouox replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh my.. I am laughing so hard I have tears. This is a F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C thread. My question is why did she take off her $100 panties in the ER? Perhaps she had seen too many episodes of Grey's...

    Advice for a stuttering nurse

    xoemmylouox replied to zz00zz's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My husband stutters. It is present calm or not. When he is upset or anxious it is much worse. I wish I had more to offer other than keep trying. For some adults not much can be done about stuttering....

    All Men Shift

    xoemmylouox replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    Obviously women are still seen as less than a man by so many. Women are still not treated as equals in the United States. The glass ceiling is a very real thing, and the comments on here prove how...

    Negotiating the Holiday Off

    xoemmylouox replied to Brian's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If I work the day of the holiday we just push it to another. If family can't accommodate this we simply miss their party. No biggie to

    My patient dropped her baby!

    xoemmylouox replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If we lived in an alternate reality where appropriate staffing was provided these things would pretty much never happen. Unfortunately we don't live in that world. If a mother has a PCA I wouldn't...

    Nurses' strike is about preserving San Bernardino County patient care

    xoemmylouox replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If we allow these poor standards to continue things will only get worse. I applaud those who strike to protect their patients and themselves. I hope this brings about change for them. Best of luck...
