  1. Grrrr, sick of the RN Vrs LPN's

    LPN1974 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to know how she

  2. snow bound NURSES !

    LPN1974 replied to misslav's topic in General Nursing

    Pay them. They came in. They should be paid around the clock. Even if they have to lay down and sleep, they should be paid around the clock. That's my opinion. We've had the same problem at my job....

  3. Think I've Done All I Can for This Person?

    LPN1974 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly how you feel. We have a new employee on my job, she's been there about 3 months now. She's just not doing very well. We trained her, and she went with another nurse for about a month...

  4. Cant find a job in almost 6 months. Thats ridiculous!

    LPN1974 replied to Woman_in_love's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, there, I'm an LPN in Arkansas. Sure hope you find work soon. I don't understand why you are not getting calls back, I hear they need RNs here as much as anywhere else. I wouldn't think, if you...

  5. Bullying nurses....

    LPN1974 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this has been talked about so many times on here, but this has recently happened where I work. {Or I have just now become aware of it.} I work the evening shift. At my facility we have a staff...

  6. Scared to be on my own!

    LPN1974 replied to BeginnerRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Will you be the ONLY RN during your shift, or will there be other more experienced nurses there also? Sometimes you might feel you are on your own, but you're really not, if you have other nurses...

  7. Bullying nurses....

    LPN1974 replied to LPN1974's topic in General Nursing

    thank you, and all of you for your kind posts. i haven't decided yet exactly what, if anything, that i'm going to do. we don't have a union on this job, but it is a state job, and as far as...

  8. CNA's running assistive Living Facility

    LPN1974 replied to MJH's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's all about money. It's a cheaper way of taking care of elderly folks instead of placing them in regular nursing homes. IMHO, if they need assisted living, they should get that assistance...

  9. Bullying nurses....

    LPN1974 replied to LPN1974's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it sure is. I told the nurse who was threatened, she should have filed charges, and she agreed, but of course she did not. I'm sure she didn't want to cause more friction within the department....

  10. Teamwork vs doing someones job

    LPN1974 replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    Adj.1.contemptuous - expressing extreme contempt disdainful, scornful, insulting disrespectful - exhibiting lack of respect; rude and discourteous; "remarks disrespectful of the law"; "disrespectful...

  11. Teamwork vs doing someones job

    LPN1974 replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    I was just wondering what your suggestions would be to educate the CNAs as to what the nurses job entails? Obviously you learned it by going on to school, becoming an RN and now that you walk in the...

  12. Teamwork vs doing someones job

    LPN1974 replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll........................my opinion is................. YOU are the RN. Why are letting them tell you what you need to be doing? I know that we need to help, if something...

  13. Noise on the Night Shift

    LPN1974 replied to becksgr's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that could be done is concerning staff who are noisy, laughing, talking loudly, they need to be written up, IMHO. Supervisors should take a more active part in this and write up people if...

  14. Noise on the Night Shift

    LPN1974 replied to becksgr's topic in General Nursing

    And on the other side of the coin, maybe some hospital workers forget that patients are sick and sick patients need rest. Sick people heal faster if they can get peaceful rest. Patients come to the...

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

    LPN1974 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    You have got to be kidding!!! :rotfl:

  16. Upper managemnt mom as pt! Ugh!!

    LPN1974 replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

    Extremely good

  17. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    LPN1974 replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    And you are assuming something about me because........???? I don't see where I indicate I ASSUMED anything. HOWever, if you want an answer to your most unusual reply to my post, just WHAT was it...

  18. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    LPN1974 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, maybe that's the worse for you......I just said that MY PET PEEVE was as I stated. Am I allowed to have a pet peeve? JEEEZ. I work with mentally challenged people, and it is not actually the...

  19. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    LPN1974 replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that may be image they are trying to put forth, but if and until maids start handing out the pills and changing dressings, I don't think patients are going to get "hotel" service. Any nitwit...

  20. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    LPN1974 replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Good job! If they think they could get better service in a hotel, then why don't they go THERE?? What is it with patients comparing hospitals to hotels?? That's comparing oranges to apples. No...

  21. IM injection help: maximum amount given in ventrogluteal site

    LPN1974 replied to christine2005's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Hope I never have to be that nurse's patient. If she mixed it up for IV admin she should have given it IV. The choice was already made according to how she mixed it, wasn't it? 10 ml in the hip...

  22. I'm happy to report...........

    LPN1974 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations, to you. Sounds like you've found a good place to be. I used to work in a small nursing home in CA many years ago and I loved it. They had 52 patients, and it was just right. It...

  23. Tiny Rant...

    LPN1974 replied to Alexsys's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you did anything wrong either. She was a B-witch. You definitely should tell your agency why you won't go there anymore, and if possible I would tell the DON of the hospital why you...

  24. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    LPN1974 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind if a patient comes to the desk to ask me for something.....I figure if they came all the way up there, to ask for a pain pill or whatever, it just saved me steps from going down the hall...

  25. Nursing Homes Without Nurses???

    LPN1974 replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I just do not understand how this is going to work. Seems like such an enormous amount of responsibility there that the RN on duty will have to carry. In one of the articles provided thru a link, it...
