    xoemmylouox replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ICU Nurse needs advice

    xoemmylouox replied to Socrates12358's topic in Nursing Career

    You really need to give it more time. 8 weeks is nothing. If you feel like you will need more orientation time talk with your manager and preceptor about what your specific concerns

    Can my hospital force me to go back to school?

    Warning on an LPN License.

    I am very surprised that you got something on your license for something as small as missing two doses of Colace. There must be more to that

    xoemmylouox replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Well as suggested by another institution perhaps they'll have the nurses doing housekeeping. Maybe they'll step it up a notch and have the nurses cooking too? Never mind about patient care.. I do...

    How good is your food?

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah the kitchen was closed after my baby was born, but the nurse was able to find a leftover turkey sandwich and chips.. That was the only food I "enjoyed" during my 4 day stay
