  1. Skin Prep- waste of time?

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in General Nursing

    How do skin preps help heels? I have like 10 patients who need skin preps on their heels bid... it is very time consuming to take their shoes and socks off, wipe it on their heels, and put their shoes...

  2. The small things that hold LPN's back.

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Something I don't understand is why LPNs can't draw blood. They cannot where I am, at least. I understand why RN's can do certain things LPN's cant... because it's more important to know the "whys"...

  3. Silly question. Urine output per hour?

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in General Students

    I can't remember what the normal urine output per hour is? I keep thinking 33cc/hr? (If that's wrong, why am I thinking that???) lol,

  4. How much does a Clinical Instructor make a year?

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I realize that money shouldn't be the sole reason to go into Nursing or Teaching. I am currently a LPN and plan to go back for my RN after I gain some experience. I would really love to teach...

  5. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I now have been a nurse for 3 months and have 2 to share! :) 1.) The patients MAR said give 1 unit of insulin for every 30 above 150. The nurse called the Doctor for a sliding scale to be written out...

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure it does happen to all of us, and that I will certainly do something silly. And I'll be sure to post it, too! Everything worked out fine in the end with the two scenarios I posted. They're...

  8. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Not that scary. Okay, well maybe the second. But the first... not that scary unless you're just counting the fact that she couldn't do math. What she did was safe.. it was just weird of her to tell me...

  10. Narc count right, then WRONG

    anonymous1919 replied to Dee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    As you can see, the person who wrote this thread is from the US. So stating your countries laws mean nothing.... are you telling her because she is an LPN that she shouldn't hold the narcotic keys...

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can't find anything structured about LPN pay.. so I wanted to start something that was easy to read for anyone interested. So just fill out the following- Location: Hourly: Location: Kentucky...

  12. asking for meds?

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    So instead of waking them up and asking them if they'd like their pain medication.. you'd rather them wake up an hour later in severe pain crying, have to wait for you to asses and bring the med and...

  13. asking for meds?

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Well what I got from her post was that she thinks she needs to reeducate the patients and spend her time calling the doctor to get the pain medication orders change then give them medication for their...

  14. asking for meds?

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    I feel sorry for your patients. You must put them through extra ******** that is totally unneeded. Just give them their damn medication when they ask for it, you clearly cant think critically past...

  15. asking for meds?

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    See my patient had hers PRN but she wanted it right when she could have it next. She even wanted us to wake her up. I always did. Some nurses wouldn't and that would result in the patient waking up an...

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Why is this wrong? I had a Res that had PRN pain meds but she has requested for us to bring them to her when she could have another. She was in constant pain and never refused them when we brought...

  20. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    anonymous1919 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    orientate IS a word. Chill out. The English language is constantly changing and always will. I'm sure if you had a chat with someone from the early 1700's they'd think you were saying everything all...

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in International Nursing

    I am currently a LPN in the US and want to move to Canada. Can I work as a LPN there? Is it hard to find a job? I really want out of the US as I find the direction our country is going in a bit scary....

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I don't want to be too specific on anything, so if something seems like it doesn't make sense, or something, it's because I'm not going into detail. So the other day a resident had blood in his...
