  1. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    LPN1974 replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think you're "talking yourself up" You're an excellent CNA, you have good work ethics, and you will make an excellent nurse. We need more like you. You continue to set the example for other...

  2. Who's Zoomin' Who?

    LPN1974 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

  3. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    LPN1974 replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Were you replying to me...in the suggestion of this being taught in nursing schools? Do schools ever ask for and get any feedback from licensed nurses already out in the workforce....about different...

  4. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    LPN1974 replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Looks to me like it is pretty common. I agree with aLOT of what other posters are saying. It sounds like we all are experiencing the same old crap. Doesn't matter where you're from it's all about the...

  5. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    LPN1974 replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have no idea how common it is, I just got tired of dealing with it at this particular place. I felt 2 years of trying to help change things was enough. And I do blame the DON and the administrator....

  6. Do nurses really eat their young?

    LPN1974 replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It probably has been going on for while. It's really hard for a new nurse to come in and start a job. Why can't people just get along, and try to make new people feel welcome, help them, show...

  7. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    LPN1974 replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know there are lazy NA's and lazy nurses, but I am NOT a lazy nurse, and I DID quit my part time job at a LTC because of the aides. I got sick of dealing with NA's who would habitually be late...

  8. suspended for signing an 8pm med on MAR at 5pm in error

    LPN1974 replied to VirginiaLPN97's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This was funny! I love it when a supervisor who tries to give other people a hard time gets the tables turned on them for once! I figure she was probably too embarrassed to speak to you for the next...

  9. suspended for signing an 8pm med on MAR at 5pm in error

    LPN1974 replied to VirginiaLPN97's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OMG, I think you were set up, too. That is really horrible, in my opinion, to send you home for such a minor mistake. Signing off an 8PM at 5PM can be so easy. That is really bad they won't let you...

  10. Unit Shift Managers

    LPN1974 replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a nursing home for 2 years, part time, and the unit manager who was the last one before I quit, didn't do much of anything that I saw. She was good at running around telling me not to...

  11. Do nurses really eat their young?

    LPN1974 replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't think it would be inappropriate. It's your life, you're unhappy, and you're not in a prison, but you might feel it's something bordering on prison. I say if you're unhappy, start...

  12. Phasing out LPN's.

    LPN1974 replied to BJ, LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Just exactly as you say, I worked hard for mine, too, and there ain't nobody, and I mean NOBODY gonna work off MY license. I won't be responsible for someone else giving meds. I say let the...

  13. Do nurses really eat their young?

    LPN1974 replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    The link is about dogs...bullmastiffs. I didn't see anything about human bullies. I thought that was what we were talking about....human

  14. Who's Zoomin' Who?

    LPN1974 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    Instead of "General Hospital" it's "General Nursing

  15. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    LPN1974 replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My DON is also a bully in the work place. I don't want to give details for fear someone who works there may also be a member of this board. She has bullied most of us at one time or another, but...

  16. Slow computer - need advice

    LPN1974 replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same problem yesterday. Mine was slower than molasses. I deleted old programs, old emails, cookies, temporary files, anything I could find to delete that I didn't want. Then I defragged....

  17. Thankless at times, downright mean others!

    LPN1974 replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Why, that's assault and battery! Why can't you file charges against her, even if she is the patient??? I think charges should be filed if a patient hits a nurse. Just because they are the patient...

  18. Not feeling to good about a co-worker

    LPN1974 replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

    Does she scream and yell at other people in the office or are you the only one? I was just curious. I'm with the other posters.....that's harrassment and you can do something about it. Stand up girl,...

  19. Nasty medical students

    LPN1974 replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when I first became an LPN, that nurses used to have to stand up when a doctor entered the nurse's station, give him her chair, etc. Nurses don't do that nowadays. I have a problem with...

  20. Nasty medical students

    LPN1974 replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    They don't teach bedside manners in medical school, I see. Patients are not animals in a cage.....in fact most people wouldn't treat an animal like that. Why is it that hospitals put up with and...

  21. Thankless at times, downright mean others!

    LPN1974 replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not sure, but I think most of the patients you all encountered who made masty remarks to you, were male.....is that right? They are probably verbally abusive to people in other areas of their...

  22. Cute joke about Petey the snake.

    LPN1974 replied to LPN1974's topic in Nursing Humor

    Have you never heard the expression, "didn't have a pot to piss in?' The rest of it is "or a window to throw it out

  23. Cute joke about Petey the snake.

    LPN1974 posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    This should be read out loud. Petey was a snake, only so big. Petey lived in a pit with his mother. One day Petey was hissing in the pit when his mother said, "Petey, don't hiss in the pit, go...

  24. What about breaks?

    LPN1974 replied to avahsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    You should report that to the labor board. If you're being docked, you are supposed to get the break. Are you clocked out on those

  25. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    LPN1974 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I finally finished reading all these posts. Talk about gross. I have been a nurse for 30 years, but just have not ever had any situation like what some of you all describe. I guess I've been blessed....
