    Limik replied to huggietoes's topic in General Nursing

    About 10 years ago while I was working a Med/Surg floor, my oldest son got a horrible case of cellulitis (WBC's 24,000+). He was finally admitted to the hospital where I worked after spending the...

    Limik replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    I lost two patients in one day while I was still a nursing student. One of my patients was expected to pass, but the second was relatively stable and died suddenly. I remember that being a very hard...

  5. Does this sound funny to you?

    Limik replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Sure sounds like something stinks here! If she was an LPN 20 years ago, what happened that she is a CNA student now? I'm pretty sure they would have had Foley's in the ICU even 20 years ago.

    Limik posted a topic in General Nursing

    Limik replied to Limik's topic in General Nursing

    Limik replied to Limik's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. Actually, I have thought about that. The biggest problem is that I live in a small town and any agency job that I get would have me traveling at least 1-2 hours. I don't really...

  20. This week I have lost my motivation.

    Limik replied to blondiii's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My best advice is to give it serious thought before you make a decision. I can see how all of those things happening at once might discourage you, but try to decide if that is really the motivation...

    Limik replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit, I was the "caregiver" in my family. I grew up in an extremely dysfunctional family where both parents usually weren't around. I also had to take care of my brother who is younger and...
