  1. Bashful Nurses?

    LPN1974 replied to moosie's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be extremely bashful and shy..... I've gotten over the most of it. It just takes time. As a person grows their confidence will grow, too. Sometimes, tho, that old bashful feeling will...

  2. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    LPN1974 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why people do this sort of thing. Do they not have anything else to do that day? These people must be attention seekers, is all I can think

  3. Moving to Arkansas

    LPN1974 replied to spejsa's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Arkansas......further south, tho, than Fayetteville. But I can tell you, that yes, housing is much cheaper here, than In California. I lived in California for about 10 years, before the...

  4. Looking for PRN work outside the hospital

    LPN1974 replied to yellow finch's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nursing homes, agency, home health....all good choices for extra PRN

  5. My manager says I can get a second job, but...

    LPN1974 replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    AND............on the other side of the coin......the NM is why I work the evening shift and won't go to days, when positions come up that are available. I've had numerous chances to go to days.....I...

  6. My manager says I can get a second job, but...

    LPN1974 replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    Are you questioning why I stay there? I have several reasons why I stay there and put up with it. I have to work. I make more money there than anywhere else I could work around here, in my area. I...

  7. My manager says I can get a second job, but...

    LPN1974 replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    My NM has the tendency to think that she could control our outside activities, such as part time jobs or whether or not we are "available" on our days off for her to call us. She tells us all the...

  8. It's always the nurses fault

    LPN1974 replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to discourage you. If you want to be a nurse, you'll have to just plow right in there and make/leave your mark just like everyone else. An example of the nurses being responsibile for...

  9. It's always the nurses fault

    LPN1974 replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree with that. It's always the nurses fault. And here's another one for you......if something needs done, or needs to be put on a routine schedule to be done, the nurses can do

  10. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    LPN1974 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    He is lucky he ended up o.k. even though he was literally a PITA.Sarah, what means PITA??? Thanks:confused: Pain the the

  11. want to help out a friend BUT.....

    LPN1974 replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very bad situation, of which I am glad I'm not in. If you report what has been going on and an investigation is started, so many people are going to be in danger of losing their job,...

  12. Question about patients' rights.

    LPN1974 replied to Sis123's topic in General Nursing

    Not just on the honor or professionalism of the health care workers, but the law says these people have rights. All I can say is just try abusing one of these people or taking their rights away and...

  13. want to help out a friend BUT.....

    LPN1974 replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    This woman is manipulating you and the other nurses into stealing for her. I would stop it now. Whoever gives in is putting their job and license on the line. Isn't this akin to prescribing...

  14. Question about patients' rights.

    LPN1974 replied to Sis123's topic in General Nursing

    If you ever question whether someone has rights or not.....come work with the mentally/physically challenged. They may not be able to "hear" their rights, "read" their rights or "exercise" their...

  15. Do all nurses wear scrubs?

    LPN1974 replied to APP's topic in General Nursing

    On my job we can wear anything that is comfortable. Some of our nurses wear scrubs, others wear regular street clothes. I wear a scrub top with jeans. A new nurse was hired a few months back and I...

  16. This Site has Jaded My View of Nursing

    LPN1974 replied to kimmyz's topic in General Nursing

    Sharon.....not wanting to cause an argument, but I think you need to reread Kimmy's post. She never indicated that she thought she was better than someone else, she said she was happy to take care of...

  17. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    LPN1974 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I sure didn't miss the posts where the LPNs are gettting "dumbed down" on

  18. Greatest code brown stories!

    LPN1974 replied to sweetpea839's topic in General Nursing

    I remember once, when I was an aide...back then we were nurse's adies.....not CNAs I had to help the LPN give an enema to this little skinny elderly man. He was sooo constipated. Well, we gave the...

  19. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    LPN1974 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    RN's can screw up orders, too, don't tell me they can't. Just because you got RN behind your name doesn't make you perfect. My DON took an order from a doctor, for Cipro 500mg, actually wrote it on a...

  20. What did you learn today as a nurse?

    LPN1974 replied to minnib's topic in General Nursing

    Very similar. And the person to whom it is prescribed already is on

  21. What did you learn today as a nurse?

    LPN1974 replied to minnib's topic in General Nursing

    I am learning about a new drug that came in to our facility today for one of our people. Lyrica. It is newly approved for adjunctive treatment of adults with partial onset seizures. It is the first...

  22. Am I a loser? I couldn't keep up....

    LPN1974 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    This makes me so mad. People can just be so sorry sometimes. We have a part time nurse that just works 20 hrs/week. She usually works some ten hour shifts every other weekend, and some 5 hour shifts...

  23. WHY are nurses so catty??

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

    I work with a male nurse who also is "catty" at times. He is also a "know it all" and has a chip on his shoulder. I'm just thankful he works days and I work

  24. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    LPN1974 replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    Then an LPN job won't fill the bill. If a person is having problems submitting to others, in a student position, LPN won't cut it either. I've been an LPN for over 30 years, and right now I have an...

  25. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    LPN1974 replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    It just sounds to me, like you think you are the seasoned nurse and you are there to instruct them, instead of you being the student. You say nothing you did put any patient in danger.....well,...
