  2. Hey All, I have to write a scientific methods paper for pysch. Please tell me what you think about male nurses in OB, specifically the delivery room. I am not looking to start a huge debate just taking a survey. Thanks Everyone!!! Kris
  3. nurses who don't want students

    Not every nurse likes to teach. I hate being a preceptor and having students. Probably because of my get in there and get it done attitude. I just prefer to do things myself. Talk to your instructor, I can't see why it would be a big deal to swi...
  4. If nursing caps looked decent, would you wear one?

    not in a million years. NEVER!!! I don't need a hat to make me feel like a nurse. I have a degree, license, and name badge that all say I am and that is good enough for me! Kris
  5. Insanity over Insulin!

    what was the patients blood sugar when you checked it? if it was on the lower side I wouldn't have given it. You have to make judgements like this sometimes regardless of whether it is long acting insulin or a BP med you just have to make a judgeme...
  6. Is it weird not to wear a scrub top?

    that is my favorite outfit to wear!! I hate scrub tops, I feel confined in them. I do wear jackets in the winter sometimes but I prefer long sleeve tees in the winter. a top is a top what is the big deal?
  7. LPNs glorified Techs?

    I am a LPN in hospital and I am far from a tech. Other than pushing meds and hanging blood, I do it all. I have noticed a difference betweens LPNs who are not planning on being a RN and LPNs who are. On my floor, those who are not pass their meds ...
  8. LPNs glorified Techs?

    I am a LPN in a hospital and am far from a tech. the only thing I don't do is push meds and hang blood. Other than that we pretty much do it all. procedures, passing meds, teaching, charting, you name it. I will say that in experience there is a ...
  9. Unhappy with new job--Need some advice please!!

    Have you applied at any hospitals? I am a LPN and love my hospital job. we had to do LTC in school and that was enough for me. I did not go to school and work my butt off to pass pills to 35 people all day. plus, I don't plan on being a LPN much ...
  10. Helping a falling pt stand.....

  11. I need scrubs............help!

    i like uniform advantage.com my favorite site. by each print it tells what colors go with them so there is no guessing. for example, If i buy orange pants i find three different tops to go with those pants. my all time fav is still scrub pants an...
  12. OR experience for students?

    i graduated with my LPN 2 years ago and I got to watch in the OR. I was lucky enough to get to see a open heart. No grief from anyone about being there. we did get grief when we went to the cath lab because the nurses there felt it was a waste of...
  13. Leaving AMA and insurance threat

    my insurance policy clearly states that if we leave the hospital AMA that they will not pay. I don't bring up the ins thing to get them to stay, if they don't want to be there and be treated, then what is the point of staying? they are wasting a be...

  17. Need Advice!!! Bad Situation!!!

    did you ask for specific examples of what you are doing wrong? It would be difficult to improve in any job if you didn't know what you are doing wrong. any new job you apply for will call your current employer for a refernce. i am not sure what th...

  19. in school it had to be up. in the hospital where I work there is not a policy that I know of. and if there is, I have never been approached by management and been told to put it up. i very rarely ever wear it up. I have so much hair i get a headach...
  20. Nursing Concepts 3

    I just got back from taking NC3 and I got a C. kinda bummed, but at least I passed. I got a 79% on the practice test so I thought I would get at least a B. I didn't think the practice helped very much on this one. I have never gotten a C before s...
  21. LPN? How much lifting is required in LTC

    Nursing can be a very physically demanding job. I lift alot on my floor and when I was in the LTC facility we did a ton. I would never expect an aide to do all the lifting. Nursing is a team effort.
  22. Michigan and excelsior

    I have already started this program and so far so good. It is different but I do like it. I bought Lisa Arends CDs from ebay and they have everything I need and then some. I am taking NC 3 on the 30th and then I am on to NC 4.
  23. What would u do?...

    personally I would stay in the hospital because the thought of a management position turns my stomach. but that is just me. I would ask myself why I would consider the position and do some thinking because it is a totally different position. Also...
