    LPN1974 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    Please, let's keep to the OP's subject. He sought out a nursing board to help him evaluate some feelings he was having in school. The thread started with one subject but another has already...

  2. Female Nursing Students Dont like me !

    LPN1974 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    Gee, I'm sorry, too that this is happening to you. I've always been a "loner" myself. I'm single now, and live alone, and like it extremely well. But you are young.....I checked your profile. Like...

  4. staffing tried to trick/bully me in today!

    LPN1974 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    My, God, how could a code work? There are too many places where this happens. We have 3 nursing homes in my town, how would you know which one I was talking about, unless I gave you the specific...

  5. CNA/Patient Ratio Laws

    LPN1974 replied to Aneroo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The NH I worked in for 2 years/part time had a sign in sheet you were to sign at the beginning of the shift, so anyone could look at it and tell how many nurses or CNAs were working that particular...

  6. staffing tried to trick/bully me in today!

    LPN1974 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    And I guess they paid HER just like they paid YOU. They let her come in just so it would look ok on PAPER...just to cover themselves. How unfair and what a crock. NHs are notorious for doing that to...

  7. Different colored scrubs for RNs and LVNs?

    LPN1974 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it is NOT going to be turned into another LPN vs RN thread. We're not going there with that. The MISUNDERSTANDING has been taken care of. Now for the scurbs color...only thing I can think of is...

  8. staffing tried to trick/bully me in today!

    LPN1974 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    My caller ID and answering machine has been a lifesaver to me, too. I have thought about getting rid of my house phone, tho, and just keeping the cell phone, but I would have to give my job the cell...

  9. Different colored scrubs for RNs and LVNs?

    LPN1974 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    And thank you in advance for giving a clearer explanation. No one can give any thoughts or ideas on the problem you're having without a clear explanation, and you did place 2 lines of thought in the...

  10. Different colored scrubs for RNs and LVNs?

    LPN1974 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean you can't them to do what you ask? Wear the color scrubs you want or do patient care things? You term of "lip back" seems like you might think you're talking to a child. How is...

  11. Reward system for hardworking CNA's..need help!

    LPN1974 replied to NurseWiggins's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree. We all know that we have those that do their work and those who slack off. If the ones who are doing good jobs were recognized, maybe some of that good working attitude would rub off on the...

  12. Questions re: Staff Coordinator

    LPN1974 replied to dekatn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I wouldn't have a job like that if it were offered to me on a gold platter. Too much probablity of having to work shifts for call ins. I never had the job of staffing coordinator in the NH I worked...

  13. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    LPN1974 replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in Arkansas and I make 18.52/hr. But I've been on this job for 25 years and I'm topped out. I do have great benefits. The starting pay is around 14, I think, where I work, and depending on...

  14. Question About Med

    LPN1974 replied to monjord's topic in General Nursing

  15. Hateful ER Docs

    LPN1974 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    You answered your own question.....his problem is he's an A**hole. Your post reminds me of the old country song that asks: Were you born an A**hole or did you work at it your whole life? Either way...

  16. Discouraged Older Student

    LPN1974 replied to ChristinaV's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't give up your dream to become a nurse just because of some other people's sorry attitudes. The bickering and backstabbing that you are witnessing is not just in the nursing profession. I have...

    LPN1974 replied to Marti Ann's topic in Men in Nursing

    I work in MR/DDS and alot of the people I help take care of want to hug alot. But we are encouraged to not teach them to do hugging and we teach them that ADULTS do such things as shake hands, so...

  18. What kind of office jobs can nurses hold?

    LPN1974 replied to nursestudentx's topic in General Nursing

    There's not much that offends a nurse about poop, pee, and puke. There ARE those jobs in insurance companies who hire RNs, but you have to start at the bottom first, and climb that ladder! You would...

    LPN1974 replied to jt8493's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  20. What different areas are there in ob/gyn nursing??

    LPN1974 replied to nursestudentx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I posted a response to you on your other thread. I advise you to stay out of nursing. Not trying to be mean, but you just show that you will not be happy as a nurse. Do yourself a favor and find...

  21. Do you have to deal with these?

    LPN1974 replied to nursestudentx's topic in Emergency

    Are you kidding??? Nurse practitioners start at the bottom, go thru clinicals and learn to deal with sick people all the way up to NP. You're trying to find a way to get to the top without learning...

  22. Ouch! Glass stuck in foot - What to do?

    LPN1974 replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to me once, too. I went to a podiastrist and he got it out. The sore place was right on the ball of my foot and took alot of pressure. I had to make a pad around it to take some of the...

    LPN1974 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

  24. Do you have to deal with these?

    LPN1974 replied to nursestudentx's topic in Emergency

    Any service type job that you go into you're going to have to study and work hard at it. It's going to require alot of study and alot of work at doing the job. I'm sure pharmacists and optometrists...

  25. Do you have to deal with these?

    LPN1974 replied to nursestudentx's topic in Emergency

    Another thought.....surely you could find a few hours on one day, somewhere that you could shadow a nurse. Call your local hospital and see if they could make some arrangements for you to do this. I...
