  1. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    Agnus replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    this is an age old topic, that will not go away and does irritate. I usually ask are you an RN or an LPN? If it is someone talking about this "nurse" I ask the same question. I tell them I am a...

  3. Most stressful moment as a nurse?

    Agnus replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

  4. Student Help - Infant/Toddler Observation

    Agnus replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

  5. Least infectious floors

    Agnus replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    No such place. If there were it would breed complacency about infection control. Better to be super cautions following precaution protocols in a dirty unit than to become complacent in a so called...

  7. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    Agnus replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    What the heck does a man's profession have to do with it? I'll tell you. MD's, dentists, lawyers, engineers etc were considered a "good catch" by women when women stayed home and expected to be...

  10. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    Agnus replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=scrappingfaye;2580849 It really bugs me.... I worked long and hard to be an LPN, and feel that if you are NOT in medicine, you should not wear scrubs. Sorry to burst your bubble. There is...

  11. Asperger's Syndrome

    Agnus replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I must not know enough about Bill Gates because I do not see any of this in him. Certainly not enough to suggest he has it. This does remind me of an old friend. Brilliant Yet socially not...

  12. Assertive Communication

    Agnus replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I took it while I was in nursing school. (not required) It was wonderful. I was surprised that many were taking it under court order for anger management. Assertive communications was not at...

    California did (may still) have a waiver where centain people with certain experience may challange the LVN board. That is if they have certain experience they can qualify to take the NCLEX_VN. With...

  14. Racism in Nursing

    Agnus replied to lpnnursingstudent33's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you are talking about the human race. It is not just this profession. Please, look closely there is one unsuspecting person who does not realize she is sterotyping and...

    Agnus replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    You do not have to confront this LPN. Next time call the doctor. Explain that by your state's laws she can not take orders. That in the future if they give her an order you will not write nor sign...

    Agnus posted a topic in General Nursing

    A pregnant and lactating patient with c-dif. tells the doctor she does not want to take any abx because she "knows" that abx over use causes resistant strains. One week later she comes in...

  17. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    Agnus replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying this is definately not related to the vaccine. However, blaming the vaccine is like blaming anything that occurred around the time of this event. You might blame it on any number of...

  18. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    Agnus replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    Given that vaccines are truly the most expensive drug to produce and are sold at a very low price compared to other more profitable drugs, I don't find justification to say drug companies push them....

    Agnus replied to mikethern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why do you think so many people in banking are mean and arrogant? Why do you think so many people in retail are mean and arrogant? Why do you think so many people in law enforcement are mean and...

    Agnus replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    If you are one who doesn't "believe in" vacination so be it. You are not going to be persuaded by me or anyone else. This brings to mind I had a patient in the hospital with pertussus. the parents...

  23. Hows this?
