   Carmela5 replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

   I agree 100% with sarjasy! I do not believe you acted in a professional manner by telling the patient off. Would like it if the situation was reversed?

4. What is your after-work procedure?

    Nursing is a dirty thankless job. Nurses get no respect at all.

12. Failed nursing student

    Carmela5 replied to bobokoama's topic in General Nursing

    You are not a "failed nursing student". As you know, nursing is a difficult major, and it is not for everyone. I would not do the LPN course, because many hospitals are phasing out LPNs, especially in NY. The only LPN jobs I see posted are for nursi...
