    luvbug replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    sorry that happened to you--somehow it almost makes it harder to deal with when you are at home vs. at work. hope things all got cleaned up and back to normal

  2. Friends in nursing you miss terribly!?

    luvbug replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    any buds you mourn and wish they could be seen once again?! i love this thread! we had the smallest class--16--when we were in school, and those are the people i miss the most! i talk to a few of...

  3. How do you learn to give injections?

    luvbug replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Students

    I agree with you there, Texas Angel. I think it helps immensely when you see what it going on. then you know exactly when to expect that little jab of pain.

  4. can lvns give injections with lidocaine in it?

    luvbug replied to tropical bound's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Minnesota and we do Rocephin injections all the time--peds and adults. That can be mixed with sterile water too, but I've never done it that way. Just my two cents.

  5. Why did you stay an LPN?

    luvbug replied to pandafever's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am still an LPN--almost 7 years now. I am young still and part of me does want to go back to school. However, where I work I would have to give up my job once I became an RN (they don't staff more...

  6. Nclex-pn Tomorrow!!!

    luvbug replied to KimmieKoo72's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I studied about the same way you did, a few things a day for about a month prior. The night before, I just looked everything over one more time and did that crazy sleep-with-the-book-under-your-pillow...

  7. Only Full Time Available!

    luvbug replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with Casi. Around here, we have a hard time finding anything that's full time--whether in LTC or anywhere--and that's what most people want so they can get the

  8. Colleagues who call in sick, but aren't.

    luvbug replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    :uhoh21:I would have to say that you would be stooping to that person's level if you start doing the same thing. It is good to have a great work ethic, even if it doesn't feel like it at times. I am...

  9. Hello, Im new and Need advice

    luvbug replied to brycenemmy's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree that it is a bold statement for someon to say that they don't think anything similar will happen to them in the future. It is all well and good if you truly think that, but nobody can...

  10. Help telling co-worker to stop complaining!!

    luvbug replied to LilDKessler's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to agree with bigsyis on this. I know it is easier said than done to walk away, but if you don't you might say something yoiu regret. If you can just hang in there for the next month, all will...

    luvbug replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 26 right now, have been an LPN for almost 6 years. I am just now planning on going to RN school in the next year or so. I have to do all the pre-reqs first because I am a single mother, so I...

  12. Holidays - what do you do for co-workers?

    luvbug replied to lovesmarissa's topic in General Nursing

    We do the Secret santa/ secret pal thing too. We are getting a small itme for our "pal" each week. It is difficult here becuase we all know each other so well that we are already guessing who we each...

  13. Does it ever concern you that we could be making more doing bartending?

    luvbug replied to blynn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I completely agree with this--what kind of satisfaction would you get watching people get more and more drunk and obnoxious as the night goes on? I mean sure there would be some great stories to...

    luvbug replied to sorpy69's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did you get the results

  15. do any of you work in anything other than ltc as an LPN?

    luvbug replied to Princess74's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Preemiepedsnrs, What state are you in if yoiu don't mind my asking? If I didn't do clinic work, my other choice would be to work in the NICU but I always thought you had to be an RN to do

  16. Does anyone love their job?

    luvbug replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a small clinic and I love everything about it!! My co-workers, the hours, my patients, EVERYTHING! Ok, I do have a few pts. that drive me bananas, but who doesn't? I really have nothing...

  17. Did Anyone FeeL Nervous before becoming an LPN......

    luvbug replied to sweetmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    With all due respect, you are probably nervous about the boards because you haven't started school yet. Therefore, you don't have any idea what the whole thing entails. As hard as it may seem, you...

  18. Wearing scrubs in public...

    luvbug replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I am not trying to be rude onthis one, but when you say some people are "too darn cheap to buy their own" don't you think that's a little harsh, too? I mean, for what they are, scrubs are not cheap...

  19. Did Anyone FeeL Nervous before becoming an LPN......

    luvbug replied to sweetmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had to smile when I read this one, because I did the same thing. When we were first getting into clinicals on the Med/Surg floor, we had to go in the night before and pick our patients based on...

  20. Did Anyone FeeL Nervous before becoming an LPN......

    luvbug replied to sweetmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is nice to vent, that is something I really like about this site. :balloons: As far as school, working, studying, and a social life, it will all fall into place. I know, it is very overwhelming...

  21. Scrubs Shrinkage

    luvbug replied to Fraggle's topic in General Nursing

    I think they all vary from brand to brand. Did you order them or get them at a store? We have found at my workplace that alomost everything we order has to be sent back and exchanged for smaller...

  22. hav i passed nclex

    luvbug replied to topscot's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sounds like it to me, but it could be different there than in the US. Since this is Thursday, you probably got your license in the mail

  23. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    luvbug replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have time to read all of the posts here, so if mine has already been mentioned, please forgive and forget. My pet peeve is when someone calls up and says "I just took my last pill and I am...

  24. Did Anyone FeeL Nervous before becoming an LPN......

    luvbug replied to sweetmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Is it understood that all LPNs start IV's now? I have never been trained to do that, and my facility does not train LPNs to do

  25. do any of you work in anything other than ltc as an LPN?

    luvbug replied to Princess74's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in a clinic setting and I love it. In fact, one of the reasons I am hesitant to start the RN program is that I won't have a job like this when I get done. I have no weekends, nights, or...
