  1. Nurses disrespecting nurses

    Lynx25 replied to newrnltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Toss her on the floor with 60 and see how that

  2. Reprimanded in front of coworkers becoming the norm....??

    Lynx25 replied to PixieButtercup's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ugh. Our manager was going to start doing that, until I offered to go to Wal-mart and pick up some frowny stickers to put next to our names. I also asked her what kind of raise I was going to get, if...

  3. Just when you think you've seen/heard it all.........

    Lynx25 replied to Ruas61's topic in General Nursing

    I have to give the benefit of the doubt to OP. A pt the other weekend told me he wanted on hospice, because he "heard hospice gives out the good stuff, and I want the good stuff!" Also wanted to know...

  4. My nurse looks like a zombie

    Lynx25 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Oh snap. Is there a urine test for bath salts?? On a slightly related note- I work doubles, a 16 hour shift in total. On of the aides that usually works 2nd shift, came in on first shift, and told me,...

  5. If you could post your own...

    Lynx25 replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    I was fussed at by management by offering someone who was screaming and cursing and threatening to go home AMA a box for their things. Lol, I'm not going to beg you to

  6. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    Lynx25 replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    I had to google that, I thought it might have been a thing. Back on topic, I was never allowed a live stick in LPN school, while in the Army they showed us once on a fake arm, then gave us a handfull...

  7. Out of ratio and dirty rooms a ok!?

    Lynx25 replied to Chaotic Mind's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Dirty rooms? Gross. Who in the heck comes up with this

  8. CNA's documenting in charts...

    Lynx25 replied to luvmy2angels's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They aren't allowed to chart in the actual chart, they have their own book and paperwork for that, and it goes into medical records, I think. There's plenty of CNA's I would not want doodling in the...

  9. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Lynx25 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love this so

  10. Narcotics

    Lynx25 replied to mmace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wth, was it loose and spraying everyone down with urine? What was the emergency that 2 seconds to give out some pills made such a

  11. I already don't like my job and i haven't even started.

    Lynx25 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Wellllll... if a new nurse came in thinking that working at my facility was the bottom of the barrel, I don't know how well we'd get along

  12. Narcotics

    Lynx25 replied to mmace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If I did everything everyone wanted done "Right away!" I'd never get anything done.

  13. What are the main things you can get written up for ?

    Lynx25 replied to Aongroup1990's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would have written her up too. Obviously she should have hijacked the snow plow and driven it to work. What a slacker. I was recently written up for not reporting lab results on a lab that wasn't...

  14. Clocking out ..NO Overtime

    Lynx25 replied to SNFLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, nope, never, not gonna happen. You are paying me every last red cent you owe

  15. Blame the weekend staff! It's fun!

    Lynx25 replied to Nurse_Wretched's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    AMEN! *Clapclapclap* I got the RUDEST, most OFFENSIVE text from admin over the weekend that said something along the lines of, "We always get complaints that the weekend smell BAD! This is NEVER an...

  16. Behaviors and Failing to Chart Them

    Lynx25 replied to Tired_Mommy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Then Mrs Mary Sue does a backflip out the window, and everyone is

  17. Nurse-Patient load: normal or not? Need advice

    Lynx25 replied to redtintedpaperdoll's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's pretty standard, esp for night

  18. Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    Lynx25 replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Aweee, no I love my angry old ladies. Can't take yourself too seriously with them

  19. Can lvns work with elderly?

    Lynx25 replied to learningriss's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We need to get that guy that draws the comics to make this.... MAKE IT SO, COMIC

  20. Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    Lynx25 replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some things you don't want to share. My LTC residents somehow weaseled the fact that I live with my boyfriend and have no kids- out of me. This was when I first started working as a nurse. I STILL...

  21. Military Time

    Lynx25 replied to Tired_Mommy's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, that's her reasoning for everything. "I'm not helping the CNA pull that person up in bed! I could drop them and lose my license!", "I'm not calling the doctor! You call the doctor! If I call she...

  22. Do you have family members who are nurses?

    Lynx25 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My grandmother was a nurse, and although she didn't influence my career- she was so puffed up proud at my graduation, that she gave me her

  23. Military Time

    Lynx25 replied to Tired_Mommy's topic in General Nursing

    Ask the DON. If she doesn't know, my guess is that they probably just can't figure out military time- it's what I use, and another nurse was having fits about it, saying I could lose my license for...

  24. Can lvns work with elderly?

    Lynx25 replied to learningriss's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "The elderlys" makes me think of a herd of wheelchairs stampeeding across a plain. Long term care, "Nursing homes" hire a great many LPNS, and often it's the easiest job to get for an

  25. Time Frame for Med Administration

    Lynx25 replied to Unknown member's topic in Patient Medications

    We have a two hour window, and since I'm LTC, honestly there's some days where people are going to get their stuff a little late. Judge me if you want, but hey, it happens. HS meds are awesome,...
