    Coworker talking smack about my political party & every thing I stand for/believe in

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

    Telling them won't change anything. Some people are very vocal about their beliefs and don't care what anyone else thinks. They feel the need for everyone to know most likely to bait you into a debate...

    8 month old baby dies because iv line could not be accessed

    xoemmylouox replied to ibnkoomson's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about IO as well. You can only do much. Sometimes they just get to us too late. It's frustrating because you know what could help and it seems simple enough, but it's never that easy. This...

    Signing another nurses name

    xoemmylouox replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    And that's the scary thing about charting. I think EMR prevents some of this nonsense, but someone could log in under your name as well. Never sign for anyone

    Thank you!! I am so TIRED of the comment of "just vaccinate yourself and you should be fine if they work". Some don't understand how vaccines work. If I was an MD I wouldn't keep families that do not...

    Do you think lpns will ever be back in the hospitals?

    Had my first code last night

    xoemmylouox replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    Good job. It's good to reheorifice and prepare. If not already done your unit should run mock codes. Also ensure someone is checking those code carts for expired and/or missing

    Opinions please

    xoemmylouox replied to defib1's topic in Nursing Career

    Well you could wait until you start showing. At that point they'll know regardless. For some that's not until 4-5 months. For some it's at 3. I'd hate for you to lose the opportunity. Is the manager...

    xoemmylouox replied to naikosbripad's topic in General Nursing

    That's insane!! I know cost of living makes a difference, but come on $11/hr. I've been to Joplin myself and it's not a huge town, but that's still so

    Do you ever feel like a social worker?

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

    At least you have a SW or Case Manager to help with these things. We don't. We try to figure out programs or agencies to assist our patients, but have no real person to manage this. It's...

    It isn't easy, but very do-able. I did it, and am thinking about doing it again. You MUST be organized and MUST be willing to put everything else on hold. I worked full time when I was in my LPN...
