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

    Some people don't feel it's patronizing, but i do agree with you. It's Mr. or Ms. _____ unless they give the go ahead for a first name. Children i call by their first name (or if they have a...

    TRAUMA: Call and such

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to CIRQL8's topic in Operating Room

    Second string gets call pay like the first string. A person in the second string will replace the sick person, if necessary. The person who is sick has to "call in" sick in a minimum of 3 hours...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to LPN school with people who would bent out of shape if the instructor didn't hand out worksheets for every chapter. What was on the worksheets was the same things in the book, though. Quite...

    I wanna work in cosmetic surgery

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Dom's mom's topic in Operating Room

    Surgeons vary with their 'requirements' for qualifications. Some will hire new grads, some want experience. Maybe making inquiries at a local plastics office will give you a rough idea what they...

    receptionist taking vs?

    receptionist taking vs?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ms_orion's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    It would be a privacy violation if she ran out and told people about it. Besides, she probably see SOME info since she's dealing with their payments and bills. If she's not keeping any of that...

    Overweight people and lung/heart/bowel sounds

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Nurse-To-Be-Joy's topic in General Students

    One of the hardest things i still run into is listening to heart and lung sounds on someone with large breasts. In order to hear, of course i have to get underneath, but i have naturally ice cold...

    receptionist taking vs?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ms_orion's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Something about that just doesn't sit right with me. The nurse should be obtaining 100% of the pt. info. And it doesn't make sense, since the nurse will probably be "back track" asking some of the...

    Shortage of RNs not LPNS!...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in General Nursing

    Rural areas tend to pay less because they can get away with it. Facilities in a rural area know that somoene would have to drive, say, 30 miles to the next town to find another place to work, and...

    How can hospital legally do this?
