  3. IV tips and tricks

  4. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    Totally have to agree with NICU RN. Lets not devalue what takes so much hard work to achieve.
  5. "Just an LPN"....does anyone else get discouraged?

    I am an LPN and have faced the same question many times. You do get discouraged and feel like you need to go back to school and prove to those people you are a good Nurse and gain the respect you feel you deserve. I work in a clinic and was making ab...

    I certainly did not mean to cause all of this controversy. I respect all areas of the nursing profession despite their level of education. One thing I have learned is that noone, not LPN or RN graduates, know it all. When I graduated as an LPN there ...
  10. Are CNA's considered "Nurses"?

    Actually no, the CNA is really superior to me in the eyes of the management there. They consult her on all nursing questions without giving me a second thought.
  11. Are CNA's considered "Nurses"?

    I don't want to get the girl in trouble or anything. I did question her about the things she is doing and she said she was told that she is working under the Physicians Licenses which makes it ok. I told her that if she works outside her scope of pra...

  14. Fibromyalgia

    I have several family members who say they have been diagnosed with FM. It seems they were diagnosed after the docs couldn't find anything else medically wrong with them. As a nurse I have seen an increasing number of FM patients also diagnosed with ...
