  5. How can I make up clinical hours?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to girlwith1eye's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, that is very true. However, I should have clarified that clinical absences are limited to 12 hrs per semester. Any more and the student has to repeat the class. At the very least there is a...

  6. NOW how does it feel???

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to JanetCCURN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Rob, I seriously burst out laughing at your post. If we're talking in sweeping sociological generalizations, yes, I agree with you too. I give you kudos and that will mate with the future kudos that...

  7. Should you put RN or BSN after name on resume?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to FLancaster11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    But if the thief has your resume, he or she also has your name and address. The thief could easily look up your first and last name on the state's BON and get the license number. The California BON...

  8. Nurse charting stuff she did not do.

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to Peetz's topic in General Nursing

    I do not have any advice about colleagues not doing things they are supposed to but I do have some experience with families that seem to be falling short of caring for their dependents. Be objective...

  9. NOW how does it feel???

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to JanetCCURN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hate to say it but I agree with this, seen it in action and seen it work. As a 5'1" female with the muscle tone of mousse and all the intimidating nature of cotton balls, I sometimes envy how the...

  10. Free CNA training/1 yr contract

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to GIEndoRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is my opinion and only my opinion. I would not sign a contract to work in a very unfamiliar job and facility for a year, much less in a job that can have extremely high stress, patient loads and...

  11. How can I make up clinical hours?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to girlwith1eye's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  13. LPNs and LPN students, be PROUD!

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

    Beautifully said. I find that a lot of people get insecure or defensive because they had to take on a less than ideal job or educational route due to personal circumstances. I say.... Bloom where you...

  14. What is the most interesting case you've seen in the ER?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to BigDiesel's topic in Emergency

    I am curious as to how you have encountered so many cases of CJD. Do you work in an area with an outbreak of it? I would never wish for someone to contract CJD but I do have a morbid curiosity about...

  15. Advice needed

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to proudpops's topic in LPN to RN

    How you let life happen is in your control. Also, I understand that being a LPN is not your goal but being one for the rest of your life is not an inherently bad thing. Many LPNs have had very long...

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to springgarden's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The Alzheimer's unit has nurses, there are patients needing nursing care, nurses give said care in (ideally) a skilled fashion... so how come it is not a skilled nursing unit? The scenario you were...

  20. What's the meanest/nicest thing another nurse or coworker has done for you?

    Cuddleswithpuddles replied to sasha2lady's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
