WOW! I am SO happy for you !!! Your story is amazing !!!

Hi, I was a CNA, LPN, RN for 22 years and I still miss it sometimes; however, 3 years ago, I realized I was DONE with bedside! I was just re-reading that longgg thread about finding non-nursing and/or non-beside jobs. When I last posted there, I...

I haven't LEFT officially; I still keep my license active, but I haven't worked in almost 3 years. My main reasons are physical / medical issues, which is unfortunate, because I loved all my years at the bedside. I have tried to get "desk"- type n...

I'm looking forward to seeing this!

I would LOVE to watch this show----it is on HBO. It's about a geriatric wing of a down and out hospital.....I think it's a "dramedy".....I don't know if it's more funny or serious. Has anyone hear watched it? :)

WOW, I see I posted this almost a year ago exactly!!! Curious what others think of this show? :)

Thanks everyone for all your replies--- :) Rose Queen....that's pretty amazing that people make it in no matter what the weather!!! Esme---Wow on all your SNOW stories, anddd, is that your doggie in your avatar? CUTE!!! My furbabies are ready for...

With all the snow and ice, it's gotten me wondering----what happens when Dialysis patients can't get to the facility? (I know some do their own at home, but I'm talking about patients that must go to a facility on a strict schedule).. I also wonder, ...

Very nice!!!

I'm so sorry for all you've been through!!! And on top of that, emotional abuse from your husband!!??? I wish I could give you ((( HUGS ))) in person!!!! Oh, and GOOD FOR YOU for graduating with honors.....be proud of yourself...that is AWESOME!!...

WONDERFUL !!! You NAILED it !!!!!

both NURSES but different types. RNs are acute care nurses, and nurse managers, made for coding patients, and IV drips, and newborns in distress. As LPNs we are there for Accu Checks, PEG Tubes, Walkers, foleys. We LPNs are Nurses whose expertise is ...

Wondering if any of you have ever thought of this? I think about it often...not only would it be interesting/ funny (especially to my fellow nurses and aides!), but also, I sometimes think it could be a good EDUCATION for lay people who have NO IDEA ...

EwaAnn....I just read what your doctor said about your nursing home job killing you----OMG, I can relate!!! That was my last nursing position, and I think I'm traumatized for LIFE----Except I did LOVE (and will always remember!) most of my precious ...

andreasmom02---Happy for you, and hope coding goes well !!! :) I think I'd be very good at that---I LOVE details and accuracy---gee, ya THINK coding demands accuracy and deets???? LOL!!! :) And everyone else who's trying to switch to something el...

Hi, I hope all of you who are looking for new opportunities are doing well! :) I have posted about this on another thread before, and I'll be curious if anyone here has experienced this, also. I've had interviews for several non-nursing positions,...

Hi, I've only been in LTC/SNF 7 months, and thank GOODNESS, I was off when STATE was there.....I am hearing horror stories! One of my friends "got in trouble" from our DON because she told an inspector she was out of a certain supply........UMM--that...

I think about it often! But then wonder WHAT would I do? Sometimes I think a "non-bedside" type of position is the answer; however, they are NOT easy to get, and.....I feel like I just want to be away from physicians, illness, sadness, etc.... Mis...

Oh wowwww....forgive me for FREAKING OUT, but I know some (or ALL??) of my fellow nurses will understand my stress, shock and amazement!!! I experienced my FIRST death of a resident withOUT a DNR tonight and I still can NOT believe this!!! First, I...

Sounds like I need to get HBO....(for SO many other good shows, too!) :)

I've read everyones' replies, but I didn't see INSULIN addressed........and what about family checking their blood glucose levels? What if the family/ resident can't/won't check the level, or give the insulin? I'm assuming there would be MAJOR docume...

Sorry if there are already post(s) about this, but I did a SEARCH and the ONLY thing that came up was a petition (from this site) and it won't allow me to access it....ANYHOOO.... "Scrubbing In" is a new "REALITY" show that premieres on MTV this Thur...

Aww....hugs! Don't worry, you did the correct things! As as Sallyrnrrt said---document, document, document! You called the doc, (did you chart that? I hope so!) Even more importantly, did you CHART the times you checked on him, he was quiet with...

Cape Cod Mermaid....just to clarify, it was not ME who this happened to, and you're correct about taking responsibility. I suppose my friend could have made SURE she had enough of this one particular item BEFORE she started her shift, and asked aroun...
