  1. need help with staffing issue

    LPN1974 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Nursing Career

    welcome to the real world. nursing homes are like that. they will push over on you. i'm sure your facility is short staffed. i would think your choices would be to quit, but just about everywhere...

  2. Help with "Bait & Switch" tactics at new job

    LPN1974 replied to TennNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why, I wouldn't let no grass grow under my feet, bonus or no bonus.They already took away $84.00 per pay period away from you, when you got the surprise of $1.50 less than original quote. And You're...

  3. So, Is it really "On Me"?

    LPN1974 replied to Carleyp's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No, it isn't on you. Don't let her pull that on you. Each nurse is responsible for her own actions. If she takes the order off, and it's wrong it's her butt, not yours. You don't have time to go...

  4. RN working in LPN position

    LPN1974 replied to love_ur_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Obviously they didn't think that far. I'm not grouping all RN's into one group, but several I've worked with have that attitude, and if they can get away with it, they will. I do know a few who won't...

  5. RN working in LPN position

    LPN1974 replied to love_ur_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You are so right...I agree with that. I KNOW that not every RN on the face of this earth would do that, but I HAVE seen it happen many times. If some {and I'm trying to choose my words carefully here...

  6. RN working in LPN position

    LPN1974 replied to love_ur_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  7. RN working in LPN position

    LPN1974 replied to love_ur_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So, are you saying that instead of two LPN's and one RN, now they're scheduling 2 RN's and one LPN? What did you mean when you said you "sit and care for the skilled"? And the one LPN is getting all...

  8. A day in the life of a developmental disability nurse...

    LPN1974 replied to Louisepug's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I live in Arkansas and I work in DD. I love working with our people, but it's hard work. It's not so much the people we serve, but what is expected out of us. We have a census of about 115-120 now....

  9. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    LPN1974 replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe it's a private personal matter. I've always felt in the past that God gave me what he wanted me to have, and I'm going to keep it no matter what, even after I die. For MYSELF, I don't...

    LPN1974 replied to sheliamd's topic in General Nursing

    Well, didn't Bush try to do something like that...put a stop to overtime? What was that bill all about that they passed? But they can't stop you from ANOTHER part time job. Same difference. If...

    Oh, in my last post I forgot to ask a question.........is there a medical term for females who like to stick things.....I mean like "foreign NON human objects" into their lady partss? Don't anyone...

    LPN1974 replied to Pachinko's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked a full time and a part time job for about 2 years. My primary job is with the state, and they don't pay overtime in money, you get compensated in more time off. So if wanted extra money...

  18. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    LPN1974 replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is the money is nice. I've done it between 2 jobs. On my primary job I work 4 ten hour days so I'm off three. On those three I worked another job 2 or 3 of those days per week, 12 hour...

  21. Brain dead or not?

    LPN1974 replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.....if she's actually brain dead, I say let her go, too., but if she's not that's something else. Life begins and life ends in this world as we know it, but I personally believe there is life...

    LPN1974 replied to proudmommielpn's topic in General Nursing

    Seroquel is an antipsychotic medication. Apparently they had a bottle labeled "Seroquel" and supposedly had the 1/2 Vicodin in that bottle at one time. I'd like to know who's name was on the label,...

    LPN1974 replied to lil_miss_attitude's topic in Patient Safety Issues
