sorry

#1 mistake that you made was that you gave a verbal order for a treatment and you was not on the clock, nor a NP or a PA( someone that can legally can give a order) #2 mistake was if this person, said that he/she had a PhD and gave advice for the treatment, than you should have left that alone #3 Never identify yourself as a nurse, unless you are asked for the information.....you can embarrass yourself when the next person holds credentials that is higher than what you have....... Lesson learn..............

Good Job!!!!!! from an old school nurse there was one thing that you should and could have done before the next, was to fix his doboff. That is what the state would call a delay in treatment, somethings just should not be passed to the next shift.....this is just a FYI for the next time..........

Where are the jobs for LPN's in Dover, Delaware?

Nurse:this is what happens to over worked and under paid nurses,my second overtime shift, and I am seeing doubles now

Mr. Steth: we have been hanging together since school and now that you are out in the real world, it seems like nobody want to listen,but I will listen to your heartaches about work, a family, a patient, a co-worker, not enough time in shift, and your pay.

Stay where you are at the pay is not worth it. I just left Florida.....

I just moved from Florida,the weather is beautiful,but the pay is nothing. I heard that NJ was one of the high paying states for LPN's. As an LPN I took a drastic pay cut moving to Florida from northern state.

I am really shock,I read each and every comment for this survey and did not see one RN or LPN comment from Dover,Delaware area. What happened?

How long have you been out there in the real world?

That is sad because LPN's are being treated like they are uneducated as far as RN's are concern. Do you know I have had several patients refuse to have a new RN take care of them.Many would rather have an LPN with experience than an RN with no experience.As an LPN myself, sometimes I have to catch myself and just stand back and listen to the things that the RN be saying about LPN"s, but when they do not understand something who do the RN go to. In my years as an LPN I have trained and SUPERVISED RN's. And yes, LPN can do assessments, whoever told you that they couldn't then they need to go back to school and if it's in the text books then something is wrong. What do you think that an LPN do when one of her patient's condition changes and the LPN has to call the doctor and explain that change to the doctor? When an LPN do treatments, who assess that wound, do you think she/he stop and call for the RN? My list can go on and on at what the LPN do assess, without the help of an RN. If you take a vote you will be surprise at the number of LPN's vote that they have to do assessments.

I would like to know if anybody heard of the school RTI in Winter Haven,Florida and if so how was the RN program?

Thank you for the information:yeah:

What I am asking? when you have 28-30 patients and they all have the meds schedule for 8am..yes you might be able to get to 3 patients by 8:30 but now it's 10 and you are still passing meds. What happen to the 1 hour before and 1 hour after time frame?

:confused:what happened to time compliance when passing medication?
