6. Refusing to Cover for a Colleague

   NotFlo replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah they were ridiculous. And after that when they came to get one of us for a family meeting/care conference, they would have this look in their eye (I admit I usually complained about it a lot as I...

7. Question About Vaccines

   I work in an outpatient clinic. It's in our policy that a clinician is supposed to be onsite when vaccines are being given. It's pretty silly but if we have, for instance, a flu shot fair they come...

    NotFlo replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in primary care and do all the ordering for the office. Right now, the plastic forks are on backorder; the large garbage bags for our big garbage in the break room - can't get any of those. 18...

13. LVN vs. ADN

    NotFlo replied to jupiter101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sure the ADN program is more comprehensive but my LPN program was a two-year program and very thorough. If you want to be an RN please do the ADN program. If you want to be a nurse, period,...
