  1. I HATE nursing! (long)

    LPN1974 replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    What about working for insurance companies? They employ RNs don't they, for work in that

  2. Nurses using pot

    LPN1974 replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who works where they do aLOT of urine testing and she says it can be detected in the urine a month after

  3. Nurses using pot

    LPN1974 replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    No, don't know of any. I thought it was still illegal to use even for cancer patients. Isn't

  4. in need of some good reads: nursing fiction

    LPN1974 replied to jolie chatte's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know of any nursing fiction, but I like to true mysteries, sometimes murder mysteries with a medical twist to it. Did you ever hear of that doctor, Anthony Pignataro? He was a doctor, but...

  5. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    LPN1974 replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't wait. I wonder if the rules he makes for others apply to HIM. Looks like HE should have to pay some for his meds and hospital care, according to HIS generous salary. P.S. I love your Avatar....

  6. ANYTHING good about LTC?

    LPN1974 replied to germain's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The LTC I worked in for a couple of years was a nightmare straight out of H**L. It is a well known company, but I ain't callin' no names. They had a list of deficiencies when I started there and a...

  7. Pt got no care all night

    LPN1974 replied to LPNer's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the problem on that floor is because there is no regular staff, or very little of it. Agency nurses are great, but they can't be expected to know and do the routine stuff that regular...

  8. Call Offs

    LPN1974 replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    That's the most ridiculous policy I've ever heard of. That DON woulnd't ever have to go to the trouble of having to write me up the third time, cause I'd be looking for another job. {You were looking...

  9. And what is with the wacky interview questions?

    LPN1974 replied to princess99's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested to know what kind of questions the NM asked

  10. phasing out LPNs

    LPN1974 replied to kellyb's topic in General Nursing

    There are several threads on this already. Do a search for "phasing out LPNs" and you'll find more thoughts on it than you can

  11. 1950s nursing

    LPN1974 replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

    You could not tell a patient what his medicine was for. He had to ask the doctor. I'm not sure what time frame this belongs in, but at one point in time, you also could not tell the patient what his...

  12. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    LPN1974 replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    If you're talking about your name on this board, just email brian and tell him what you want and he will change it for

  13. 5 things a new RN must have...

    LPN1974 replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Nursing

    A small kitchen digital timer is nice to have to time in between eye drops, your lunch break, etc. You could get a watch with one, but I found one at a kitchen gadget store that worked well for me...

  14. How do you deal with backstabbing

    LPN1974 replied to gladtobeOB's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting thread to me, as my job has typically always had backstabbers, gossipers, tattletales, etc. Usually when we hear backstabbing going on, it's one nurse talking ABOUT another...

  15. Need your advice Please (LPN school)

    LPN1974 replied to kellisdomain's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others. If you have got your bills figured out and can do it financially, you should do it. You have a child to raise. Expenses are going to increase as he goes thru school himself,...

  16. I heard somewhere that flushing pills

    LPN1974 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    OK, now I understand, thru reading more posts, that the meds are poisoning the water supply. I didn't think of that, and I claim to be one who helps the environment. Shame on me. Ok, then for pills...

  17. I heard somewhere that flushing pills

    LPN1974 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    I like to crush mine and wash it down the sink. Why is putting it down the toilet no longer acceptable? Are they finding pills at the sewer plant?? Somebody been taking them??? OMG What a way to get...

  18. CPR after rigor mortis

    LPN1974 replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Didn't you get the section on reattachment in your CPR class? Just joking. God, I'd hate to walk up on a patient and have their head roll off the bed onto my shoes. What a nightmare that would be....

  19. When circ's go bad...

    LPN1974 replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Babies have been being circumcised since the old biblical days. The bible talks of circumcision. When my baby was born I was just a mere 17 yrs old and so naive {I guess I might say ignorant, I...

  20. A sign???

    LPN1974 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I personally believe in the afterlife, and believe that there is a choice of 2 places that we go to, according to whether we have accepted Jesus as Saviour or not. {I'm not trying to preach...

  21. LVN 'skill updating' Options/Refresher Courses?

    LPN1974 replied to PatriciaInCA, LVN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Arkansas, and I too, have looked for refresher courses. I just don't understand why even the small community colleges, or vo-techs, as we call them here, do not offer a refresher course. I...
