    Leelee2 replied to LaurenRN2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Leelee2 replied to kasendamiles86's topic in First Year After Licensure

    List your priorities in life. If your health, and overall wellbeing is more important than needing the $, then walk once your two weeks is up. I wouldn't list job 1 or 2 on resume, but you should...

    Leelee2 replied to MMurse's topic in General Nursing

    Leelee2 replied to SNboyfriend's topic in General Students

  10. Embracing the chaos...

    Leelee2 replied to Bionic Woman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The point about the survival defense, probably true to a degree, we all deal with stress in different ways. I think though that once it begins to affect others around you (staff/patients) people...

  11. Pet Peeve

    Leelee2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Went to doctor today, got to the registration desk (not at all private, one long desk with multiple staff sitting behind it, and other patients also standing there) Then she says "Are you still at...

  12. Disclosing your issue(s)?

    Leelee2 replied to kovercomer's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  13. Mission Statements

    Leelee2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I visit a new medical facility, I always like to read the mission statements. They sound great. Do you believe that the mission statements where you work are true / upheld. And the core...

    Leelee2 replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    In Wisconsin, there are several differences between LPN and RN. LPN takes on only more stable patients, while RN's are assigned more critical care. LPN is always supervised by RN, (RN must be...

  16. Mission Statements

    Leelee2 replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am so naive, I had always wanted to believe in them. Then became so disheartened when I found they are not real or followed. Now I just take them for what they are Propaganda. Thank you...

  17. No responses to applications.

    Leelee2 replied to NJFek's topic in First Year After Licensure

  18. LPNs in the Dayton,OH area?

    Leelee2 replied to carolinahoov's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not from OH, but am from the midwest. First, are you sure that the LPN program is open and does not also require a waiting list? Starting wage can vary from $16-$20. To check out if your area...

  19. Why is it a crime...

    Leelee2 replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

  20. when CNA's don't get along

    Leelee2 replied to cecilsgirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a problem when a CNA states someone is "too slow." We are caring for people, not flipping hamburgers. Thus some residents take more time than others. To me, "too slow" sometimes means a...

  21. What would you say???

    Leelee2 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    A very long (a full minute or so) cold stare in their direction, kind of an unspoken "are you kidding me?" It is 2010, and I refuse to be verbally or otherwise abused while at work. The second...

  22. Am I crazy?

    Leelee2 replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for your loss... With the experiences you have been through, and your desire for nursing, I think you could make a great nurse! There are a lot of nurses out there that lack empathy,...

  23. Why don't more facilities utilize LPN's during this 'Nursing Shortage'?

    Leelee2 replied to Soon2BNurseTess's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Certain areas still utilize LPN's in hospital settings. Usually on Med/Surg floors. They want you to have nursing experience generally speaking. A year or so in LTC on a rehab unit should give you...
