  4. How Does This Happen in an OR?

    LPN1974 replied to Jussurfin's topic in Operating Room

    What a pervert. Talk about a violation of patients rights and privacy. And the dang hospital thinks that an "official" apology is going to get them off the hook??? I don't think

  11. On Call

    LPN1974 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Now wait a minute. I take exception to your above comment. :stone Do you think you are the only one to do it by the book? I do it by the book, too, and it takes me a long time. Doing it by the...

  12. Client or patient?

    LPN1974 replied to nursemike's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think you make some very good points. But I guess old habits die hard, because I just can't bring myself to think of sick folks in the hospital as any other than "patient". But where I work...

  13. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    LPN1974 replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OMG, this is just about the grossest thread I've read yet. I've never heard of lotus births before, and honestly, it just sort of shocked me, and grossed me out. I am not critisizing anyone for...

  14. Dilemma with Narcotic Med Count

    LPN1974 replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    I see....very good idea, except our narcotic books that we use don't porovide enough space to spell it out. Just enough for date, time, amt fowarding, amt. used and pharmacy refill, amt. remaining,...

  15. Bad Habits Nurses Develop

    LPN1974 replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I USED to....but now I'm starting to need to write V/S and blood sugars down as I take them, or I will forget. I guess it's a thing called

  16. On Call

    LPN1974 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    RN's at my facility are the one only ones who take call, LPNs never take call. The RNs might have to come out at night, as we do not have a nurse on campus from 12mn until 4:30am, so if someone needs...

  17. Client or patient?

    LPN1974 replied to nursemike's topic in General Nursing

    I work in MR/DDS and been on my job for 25 years. When I first started there it was resident, then they decided client was more appropriate, Then it went to "individual" and I never did really figure...

  18. Dilemma with Narcotic Med Count

    LPN1974 replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering how you mean you print the whole number? Don't we do that anyway? If it's a single digit number I print like 04, or 07,

  19. Need help with delegation question

    LPN1974 replied to nursepotter05's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to know why you think this. My DON just hired a new RN for supervisor on my evening shift, and we are helping this new nurse orient to HER job. She comes to us lowly LPNs for ADVICE....

  20. differences between pct and lpn

    LPN1974 replied to chicky74's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in my experiences, and if a pct is same as a cna, then a pct's job description is taking care of residents/patients at the bedside, bathing, assisting with feeding, dressing, and other...

  21. Is an hour too long to drive to work

    LPN1974 replied to RnAngl's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I hate long drives to work. Had a job once where It took me about 40 or 45 minutes to work. It got old and I hated it. That's just me, tho. I don't mind long drives for sight seeing, or...

  22. allnurses mentioned in AJN and it ain't flattering

    LPN1974 replied to actioncat's topic in General Nursing

    I would think so, if you posted it here in a public forum. {But that's just MY opinion.} Best thing is if a person had rather not be quoted, is to not say it. They do have a "private message"...
