Uhhh yeah wound care. Sorry I work in Home health. BUt we use both wound care and wheelchair actually

I think if a md asks someone " Do you know how to speak English?" A good response would be "Do you know how to write in English? Bc this sh*t looks like japanese"

I have'nt seen any funny ones (bc there actually pretty sad) but I hate when a dr writes "WC TO LE" like.. can you be more specific please?

It's not just in healthcare it's the way of the world. The whole world is divided by "classes". Upper class, higher middle class, lower middle class, low class. People are taught to treat people that they feel have or KNOW less than them with anomosity and disdain. That's just how it goes. Your true wealth is not what degree you carry, how long you've been in the nursing field. It's about your spirit. Half of the people who come to work b*tching are probaly having troubles at home anyway.

Well from another young person (1990) :dncgbby: I went a different route. It all depends on whats good for you. Some people I know got their LPN 1st and then did a year to get their ADN. It helps you get experience and looks good to employer when you already have some nursing experience. BuT as for me I choose to get one degree at a time, take a break, and then go back and get another degree. Just because you graduate w/ a BSN does'nt make you any better of a nurse and I doubt anyone will hire you quicker seeing as you won't have experience. But hey what do I know? I'm just a baby lol. Side note: What school are you going to that requires you to have straight A's? I got to a private university and we don't even have to have straight A's.

Welllll since you asked *Pulls out long scroll* lol j/k I'm looking into buying a house NOW. Houses are so cheap now. You can buy a 3/2 townhouse for 75,000 and the mortgage would be cheaper than what i pay for rent. So maybe that but when I graduate I really just want to pay off this damn 60,000 that I already have in student loans and hopefully whenever I get my NP I can afford to by an Aston Martin. Whoo!

Yeah you will definitely need a dependable ride. You don't want to have to depend on someone to give you a ride to school 4 days out of the week because they will start acting funny trust me. What about your parents or boyfriend? Also some people say that not working while going to nursing school is a good idea. Well, that's their opinion. As for me I live on my own and have to pay all of my own bills so I have no choice but to work full time. But, it all depends on what you are able to do and what you feel comfortable doing. Your education is an investment so don't let anyone discourage you.

Have you ever thought about working in home health? I'm sure there are some agencies in your area looking for good lpns'.

LOL Wow! "No you shutup!" that is too funny. Is there a DON or anyone higher up that you can report this to? This is unethical and just plain nasty.

Hope I helped also.

Well IMO there's going to be a point in your marriage where your husband gets sick of seeing you so I would cherish the attention that he's giving you now. Most marriages don't last now-a-days y'know?

I don't think anyone should ever get comfortable with death.

Well I go to a univ. that does 1 course q month so it's not anything I cant handle. My 1st course was intro to computers and that was easy peasy. Pretty frustrating too bc all those older people didnt know what the h*ll they were doing. I was like "wow, seriously? No, seriously?" But today I start my next course English Comp. and I'm actually kinda scared.

Well, I for 1 hardly ever tire of doing my spouse BUT I go to a private university so there's like no black men there especially taking up nursing. Now when I start clinicals I would'nt mind getting down with a MD lol

LOL yeah i especially hate those drama tv shows. I don't know what hospital Hawthorne works at but I will not be putting in an application there.

I wonder if there are any nurses on this forum that refuse to give baths? I would really like to hear their thoughts

Wow! I wish I made enough to throw away money like that!

OK, so when did they pass the memo out that states if you're an lpn you don't have to bathe a pt? That really ****** me off. No one is too good to NOT bathe a pt.

Well, I'm not a "snitch" and I would not cost somebody their job especially if the smell turns out to not be alcohol. I would pull my fellow co-worker to the side and let them know politely about my suspicion and ask them if they're having any personal problems. I would also remind them to not let drinking interfere with their work. That's just what I would do I would hate to be the reason someone got fired especially if their performance is still good and they're not putting pt's at risk. :redpinkhe

I think your doing fine. Just keep doing with your doing. I'll pray for you and pray that you pass. If studying fails just pray

@ Chris81 That's just wierd! Well, do you have a spinal infusion? Lol

Lol these dr's can be harsh. I've noticed though that the women md's are tougher than the male md's. I mean all of them can go to hell (except when I need an order) but the women are way more moodier imo.

Wow, not just nurses but these kinda people in general just make me wonder what are they going through in their personal life to make them so miserable. I dont feel anger towards these people only pity. Most of their hate only stems from animosity or jealousy

This is a part of nursing, being subjected to all kinds of diseases whether it has been diagnosed already or not. I say that being a nurse is more risky than being a construction worker lol
