  1. Can't be happy with my grades

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    Well I'm a NURSE too and I say that C- is NOT THE BARE MINIMUM ! AS a NURSE you should realize or have the mental capacity to know that some people are poor test takers and though they know the...

  2. What classes are you taking in the Spring?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. Cna bonding too much with me...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to nd deb's topic in General Nursing

    well maybe you can talk with her and/or write her a letter to state your feelings. Perhaps having a manager mediate the conversation would be wise. Your facility should not have numbers posted on the...

  5. Cna bonding too much with me...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to nd deb's topic in General Nursing

    You need to take responsibility. There is no way I would give a CNA my phone number. Period. You broke those professional boundaries when you gave her your personal contact

  6. Paid for background check and still no work....

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

  7. Paid for background check and still no work....

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little aggravated. Got hired for an agency doing school nursing. Had to pay 57 dollars out of my pocket for prints and background check, results got to agency so I'm all clear for work. Only...

  8. Posting pictures to facebook

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to divaRN*'s topic in General Nursing

    No need to get upset over this because this is beyond your control. Families can take whatever pics of their children and post them on face book. I even see some of my facebook friends sonograms of...

  10. LPN's role for grieving families

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to newdmh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it depends on the facility. Some facilities may have the RN actually assess to for BP and Pulse to call time of death. Where I work it was only us LPNs so we did determine the time of death...

  13. How many of you nurses do NOT have health insurance

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. This amazes me. This is so ironic as well. We as health care professionals should be able to get health insurance one way or another. We should either get it at part-time or they should have some...

  14. Now was this really necessary ?!

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a blood donor and have donated blood a couple of times. Part of the pre-donating process is to do a FS to check HGB levels. At first it was low so I had to get it rechecked but by a different...

  16. Now was this really necessary ?!

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Well thanks for the replies. All explanations make since. I guess I need to wear a faceshield at work for my fingersticks

  17. Being trained by CNA to do procedures

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    If the CNA has been trained and certified in a procedure and I'm a brand spankin new nurse sure I would allow her to give me some pointers. My experienced CNAs are awesome and always a good source of...

  19. If you go to the ER or doctor's office, do you tell them you're a nurse?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    No I usually don't unless they ask. Especially when I went to the ER for alcohol poising... I didn't want anyone to know that I was a nurse then. That was super

  20. Today someone told me something that changed everything.

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to vhern246's topic in General Nursing

    I was too homeless prior to becoming a nurse. It has definitely made me a stronger person. I appreciate having a job as a nurse so

  21. Car Tags with Nursing Abbreviations

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I was walking through a parking lot and saw the tags/license plate # that included DNR. I wonder if the person really knew what it stood for if he/she would change them. :lol2: What funny tags...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Sometimes the ADHD meds need to be adjusted. I has a student with a HR in the 160's and had tongue curling. It was related to the meds he was on. I did the same thing with his parent. Either you come...

  24. Giving residents non-prescribed meds?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to prinsessa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do give meds that aren't prescribed like mylanta, tums, immodium, however I do write out a T. O. and make sure the pcp signs it. I'm not waking up the doctor at 1030pm for an order for tums. Also,...

  25. To all LTC and ALF staff: Thank you

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Rubyvee you are sooooo welcome. To be honest there are times when I get sick and tired of working in LTC. Not because of the residents but because of the politics and dealing with some family members....
