    Thanks, SCRN. It's nice to have someone understand...

  2. RN bashing

    SarahCeleste replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I may get in some hot water for this, but I'm not known for my meek demeanor. I am an LVN and I appreciate and respect RNs. In fact, I'll be one someday, so what's the point in bashing? I think a lot...

    SarahCeleste replied to rosemadder's topic in General Nursing

    I am graduating in 8 days and will start working at a larger hospital than where I've done my clinicals and all of this advice is GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to make a list and print it out to keep...

    SarahCeleste replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    SarahCeleste replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    *Just a warning, I am pro-life, so if you are pro-choice and believe this reply may offend you, please scroll away now.* I am sick and tired of the abortion advocates to be the one with the louder...

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be graduating in May as an LPN (here in Texas, LVN, of course) and as we delve deeper into the hospital realm of clinicals, I've begun to question the involvement of the LVN in certain...

  8. In One Sentence; if you weren't a nurse, you'd be a ________

    SarahCeleste replied to OCCHCanada's topic in General Nursing

    If I was not a nurse, I'd have been a university literature professor, writer and bookstore owner (not unlike BookPeople in Austin, Texas.) Sigh....ahh, to daydream for

  9. LPN Salaries

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. My question is this: what is the range for LPN salaries, perhaps just the most common. Most salary questions are answered by RNs, but I'm in LVN...

  10. LPN Salaries

    SarahCeleste replied to SarahCeleste's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I plan on continuing to my RN, BSN and eventually my Nurse Practitioners' License, but all in due time. I will graduate in May and will try to find a job, more than likely med/surg to gain...

  11. Great Expectations?!

  12. Male nurse kills 40 patients...what do you think?

    SarahCeleste replied to jdm33351's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this subject will always be controversial and unfortunately I don't see an end to it in the near future. Because, not only are we dealing with the most taboo issues here i.e. politics and...

  13. All night cramming....

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just taking a study break, it's 4:15 am here in Texas, and I thought I'd log on and remind all of you guys out of school what it was like to cram all night the night before finals.....school is...

  14. Need an answer to a common question...

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, this is the end of my first semester in LPN school and boy, do I need a break! The question that everyone seems to be asking each other and veterans of the program is this: does second semester...

    SarahCeleste replied to SarahCeleste's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the responses guys. Well, the cramming worked---got an A. Finished this semester with 4 A's, 2 Bs. I'm a happy camper. Cramming and studying the night before has always been my...

  16. Must be having a TIA

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry guys, I know this is kinda ridiculous; I wanna change my avatar (that little picture below our name) cause quite frankly, I'm getting sick of looking at the monkey and everytime I try to change...

  17. AIDS orphans

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in General Nursing

    I find it utterly phenomenal that Africa has up to 2,000,000 children orphaned from AIDS! This is truly a frightening number and I just thought I'd pass it on--also, in our micro class today, our...

  18. Survey: Do you think hospitals should require a uniform code for nurses?

    SarahCeleste replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    As a student nurse, we're forced to wear all white (undies, shoes, socks....GEEZ!) and I will admit, I hated it at first, but now I think it does look distinguished, yet a little too old fashioned. I...

  19. did anyone else see Life and Death on MSNBC

    SarahCeleste replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, i happened to be up late again (insomniac) and caught Life and Death on MSNBC and I was quite surprised at the humanistic element they integrated into it, and also the angle of saying doctors...

  20. Needlestick!

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a student nurse, the topic we've seemed to dwell on lately is needlesticks. I know that it is possible and accidents happen, but I was infuriated :angryfire to learn that if you do receive a...

  21. Doctor's handwriting

    SarahCeleste replied to soon2binOK's topic in General Nursing

    As a student nurse, I'm having a hard enough time deciphering the whole chart to fit in my care plan and the last thing I need is illegible writing! I've run into a lot of nurses as well that look...

  23. Purgatory ain't got nothin' on nursing school.....

    SarahCeleste posted a topic in Emergency

    This is my first "thread" --wavey:--but I'm really impressed with this forum---I'm an LVN (I'm southern---or LPN, whatever floats your boat) student and that's one of the main reasons I finally...

  24. moving help please

    SarahCeleste replied to monnie77's topic in General Nursing

    The best place to begin is with your current employer as a CNA. The administration will be aware of either what you need to do pertaining to your transferring certification or point you in the...

  25. lpn-rn...same difference

    SarahCeleste replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    I know there are some nurses who get really up in arms about classification of nursing, but the truth is that we are all (CNA, LVN--i'm southern, RN (BSN or not) extremely important to the overall...
