  1. Going to be fired?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Granted, I only have hospital experience, but from what I've read here on All Nurses, 2 weeks orientation is awfully generous, and an assignment of 18 residents doesn't sound like a crazy number. Not...

  2. What type of soap do you use?

    Nurse Leigh replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried Skinfix Cleaning Oil? From what I've read, it is good for eczema prone skin and is quite emollient with little fragrance. Skinfix - Cleansing Oil Wash: Reviews I myself love a good...

  3. RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to happyspn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ummm... False. You realize that the NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN are two separate exams,

  4. nursing care plan for multiple fractures.. help!

    Nurse Leigh replied to ksurette's topic in General Students

    The femur is a rather large bone. Any idea what a complication *might* result from a fracture in a bone like

  5. Lung cancer and secondhand smoker

    Nurse Leigh replied to zahnart99's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Where is that Nursing BINGO card when you need it? How does expecting a student to do their own homework correlate with how we treat our

  6. Terminated. Pursue a Lawsuit?

    Nurse Leigh replied to ERgirlynurse's topic in General Nursing

    We were able to go to pharmacy and request something for headache/diarrhea/heartburn OTC with no

  7. Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    Nurse Leigh replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you are *in* a nursing program, you aren't exactly a nursing student - you're a student. The nurses and nursing students who have put in the work to be accepted and begin a nursing program...

  8. C'Mon Now!

    Nurse Leigh replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Sadly it sounds as though there may be some psych issues at play here, so the response that popped into my head is probably outta line and not at all therapeutic, but I'd want to tell her to just hang...

  9. Cognitive informatics

    Nurse Leigh replied to Gbread75's topic in General Nursing

    Someone else mistaking us for Google. And with Google, you don't even need to sign up for an account. OP, we are willing to help those who put in the effort to do some work/thinking of their own and...

  10. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Nurse Leigh replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Must. Not.

  11. Fecal Impaction?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of nursing interventions can seem "gross" to some people, including some nurses. And yet, a lot of nurses find a sense of accomplishment after performing these tasks as it can really make the...

  12. Are nurses generally more attractive

    Nurse Leigh replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    《《Hmmm. I have an assignment due for a class I'm taking. I need to ask people about their career choices. I think I want to write about nurses. I see them portrayed as sexy a lot in the...

  13. Being blamed for fall after shift

    Nurse Leigh replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ever think mgmt expects that nurses be able to split self in order to be in two places at once AND have the ability to levitate a pt who starts to fall? Physics, people! Sorry, OP, I hope this...

  14. Can some LPNs just not be able to be a CNA?

    Nurse Leigh replied to CoryReece's topic in Nursing Career

    You and the nurse you spoke with are in for a rude awakening if you ever work on an acute floor that has no CNAs/techs. On those units the nurse does primary care, including anything an aide would be...

  15. Are nurses generally more attractive

    Nurse Leigh replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Lol - I didn't even notice that. Yeah, I got a definite "male vibe" from the OP,

  16. Are nurses generally more attractive

    Nurse Leigh replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Just pointing out that your All Nurses profile indicates that you *are* a psychology student. [ATTACH]22104[/ATTACH] Also, I wrote many papers at night throughout my college years and I still managed...

  17. Are nurses generally more attractive

    Nurse Leigh replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Now I really want to come to your next family reunion. Sounds like a good time! (And I promise not to sell you out as a nurse

  18. In a bad situation!

    Nurse Leigh replied to A.mariemartinez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    *sigh* You actually think that because you pay tuition you are owed a second chance? Do you think this idea should also apply to those in medical school or law school? And you indicated in another...

  19. Registered practical nurses

    Nurse Leigh replied to Hedleylover94's topic in Canada

    But if you can't pass the RN NCLEX you aren't qualified to be an RN, and taking LPN NCLEX seems like going for a "consolation prize". LPN's need a good knowledge base and someone who can't pass NCLEX...

  20. Best way to avoid bedside care?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    But you took some excellent experience with you. And you are clearly bright and have good insight to yourself and your strengths and weaknesses. I completely understand your decision to leave the...

  21. Nope, you're not going to die tonight...... says the hospice nurse

    Nurse Leigh replied to Old.Timer's topic in General Nursing

    So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. That commercial just screamed *wrong* on too many

  22. Female vs male patients

    Nurse Leigh replied to qaz99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But most of the kiddos come with adults as their parents or caregivers. I'm guessing those grown-ups aren't always a joy to deal with. I can see how many of your young patients are probably better at...

  23. 94 or higher is an A?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    Looks like the upper range of your system matches OP's, but their cutoff for passing is 82 which actually gives you more wiggle room. All of these grading systems look pretty standard to me,...

  24. Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Nurse Leigh replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Sounds like we need more parents like this:

  25. So I kind of messed up

    Nurse Leigh replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    I understood the decision to close this account, but I hope you consider opening a new one and sticking around to contribute and learn from this great place! Best of luck to
