  1. Well, maybe nursing is not my calling for now..

    tothepointeLVN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have heard that high scores on the reading comprehension section of the MCAT was positively correlated with success in medical school more than the other science and math based sections. It may...

  2. write-up for insubordination because I turned my back to cry...

    tothepointeLVN replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well that tells me something. If he's hiring a new grad RN to work in his office he's either very difficult to work with and can't keep staff or is cheap and thinks he's getting a bargain by getting a...

    tothepointeLVN replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thats the spirit and then quit when they really really really need you What kind of setting is it?

  4. Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    tothepointeLVN replied to Done's topic in General Nursing

    This is usually what we do but only with the medications provided by the hospice (basically the only ones that the crisis care nurses use) though often the family will take the opportunity for use to...

  5. Instructors make up your mind! (or please at least know the answers to your own exam)

    tothepointeLVN replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    IDK Although pain assessment is a general thing there are many nurses not comfortable with managing pain at the level an oncology patient might need. I would assign patient B with the dressing changes...

  6. Should I report wide-spread cheating in my class?

    tothepointeLVN replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    I say report it but on the other hand I still have the scars from the alienation that ensued after I disclosed to a university professor that the majority of the class had used a crib sheet during the...

  7. New CNA (what attire and accessories should I buy?)

    tothepointeLVN replied to jjic3982's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I love Walmart's scrub pants. Now I just wear those and pair them with my more pricey scrub tops from Koi. A good way to stretch your scrub

  8. PCCN - I failed by 10 questions

    tothepointeLVN replied to ChineseNurse's topic in Cardiac

  9. Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    tothepointeLVN replied to Done's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry to hear that. I've never had a problem in hospice with being able to get adequate pain control for my patients but that is an integral part of the hospice

  10. Are LPN's being phased out?

    tothepointeLVN replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah they still teach in schools to inflate or they did in 08. I mean being that your ADON didn't bother with sterile technique I'm going to assume her not inflating is due to laziness rather than...

  11. Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    tothepointeLVN replied to Done's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't sound like an ongoing investigation. If she was forced to resign then I think the case is considered

  12. Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    tothepointeLVN replied to Done's topic in General Nursing

    I did not know that oncology nurses were high level diverters either though I've noticed in Hospice with some companies there is no documentation of narcotics other than in the narrative. Had one...

  13. Private sitters in the hospital

    tothepointeLVN replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    Last year I worked a hospice case as a continuous care nurse where the daughter had hired a private cna for her mother since she assumed the nurse would not be doing any of the ADL's. I worked...

  14. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    tothepointeLVN replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand. I have an iPhone that won't let me cuss worth a darn and I'm always telling people they are full of shot I guess what it all boils down to if people are paying for it then there must be...

  15. what states NEED nurses ?

    tothepointeLVN replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    but on the flipside they are having to house people in tents because there is a severe housing shortage. in fact officials are telling those who are plan to move there not to unless they have lodgings...

  16. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    tothepointeLVN replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wanted you to be aware that your statement was contradictory so you could have the opportunity to clarify. Sometimes the wrong syntax can change the way a message comes across. Your statement were...

  17. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    tothepointeLVN replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Eeeh don't sweat it I put my foot in mouth on online forums TID over a wide range of subjects and

  18. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    tothepointeLVN replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I DO know the school you are talking about and do not recommend it because of the price and availability of other options you statement that they don't require prerequisites confuses me as in...

  19. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    tothepointeLVN replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't really have anything to add other that I attended a for profit school and I did receive an "education". I turned out just fine. I have no complaints about the quality of my school only the...

  20. Are LPN's being phased out?

    tothepointeLVN replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Now the dirty gloves are unacceptable but I have heard from a urology that the trend should be towards NOT checking the ballon as it never completely deflates and the edges of the not completely...

  21. How do your start your day on paper that is.

    tothepointeLVN posted a topic in Private Duty

    Although I'm asking in relation to the crisis care hospice work I have been doing I think the question is more appropriate here since the paperwork is similar. Since my PDN I've always started my...

  22. How do your start your day on paper that is.

    tothepointeLVN replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    I always end with a set of vitals when I leave so that way I can document that patient was alive and well when I left. I guess with my agency or at least the story they told me when I was hired was...
