2. New Nurse 4 Med errors in 6 months

   IowaLPN replied to lpncharlie's topic in General Nursing

   This is just an opinion.... I feel that you should try to find a "regular" job and not be a float nurse. When we have new grads that float in my facility I always feel badly for them know that they...

3. Why does everyone seem to want to work L&D?

   IowaLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

   This is just one of those curiosity questions meant for general discussion..... When I go through the posts for the day, I can always count on at least one mention, if not several, of OB/L&D. "How...

4. If you won the lottery would you still work in health care?

   IowaLPN replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

   Abso-effing-lutely not. I'd do volunteer work, give money, actually be able to TALK to a resident rather than just throw them their pills in the morning and then not see them the rest of the...

6. Oh, the drama of L&D

   IowaLPN replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Totally agree with the above statement. BUT--I don't think alot of these girls who want to go into L&D are doing it for that reason. They think its an easy specialty.

7. Conflict of interest? Family member? Please help!!

   IowaLPN replied to newbiern41's topic in General Nursing

   I have seen this in my facililty before and I don't think its a good idea. She's your grandma so her care is always going to matter more to you than the other residents. How will you feel if a CNA...

8. Discussions always so hostile here?

   IowaLPN replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand why a person who is complaining about the site doesn't just leave? Maybe it's just attention

9. Oh, the drama of L&D

   IowaLPN replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   This is why I can't imagine working in L&D. The nurses who do are saints. I literally can't imagine sending a baby home with some people, you know? When I see so many poster's here asking the...

    IowaLPN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    A.M nurse and CNA's come on at 6. I tape a detailed report for the nurse. While she listens to that, I give a less detailed "live" report to the aides. By the time I'm done with that the nurse is done...

    IowaLPN replied to bethgrace's topic in General Nursing

13. 12 hour shifts vs. 8 hour shifts

    IowaLPN replied to violet_violet's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE working 12's. I don't think I would want to go to 8's. One week I work Tue, Thu, and Fri. The next week I work Mon, Sat, Sun. Working only 3 days/wk is *fantastic*! I'm expecting my first child...

15. Would you have reported this med error?

    IowaLPN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm so surprised at the widely differening opinions on this. I guess to me, my job was to report what I observed. Then someone of a higher authority than me (DON, unit manager) is the one that...
