    SouthernLPN2RN replied to pennyrwalker's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Sexual health and the elderly

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hope that if I still have that desire when I'm old that some one will be as respectful as all of y'all! Sex is near the top on Maslow's heirarchy (sp?) anyhow, I use that one when I hear the "their...

    I recently saw a septic truck with "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" painted on the side!

    Would you call this prescribing?

    SouthernLPN2RN posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in an office setting that uses computer charts for our pts. Any time one of them calls requesting a med refill, it's put in the computer and routed to the nurse. I always route these requests...

    I'm having a hysterectomy!

    SouthernLPN2RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm 24 with 2 kids, and I already have a tubal, so no worries there. I'll be having a TVH (leaving ovaries) with A&P repair and Monarc mesh placement. Any tips for me? I want to bounce back...

    I'm having a hysterectomy!

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your advice!! I'm really looking forward to it! I've had a cystocele since I had my son (17 mos) and I found out that I also have a rectocele and uterine prolapse. So I'm hoping this...

    opinions on in-services

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to zuchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My biggest pet peeves with inservices (at my hospital) are that they do more than two a month, and most of the time expect you to come in on your off time. Back when HIPAA came out, there were five...

    LPN2005 Magazine

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to MiaLyse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I got mine and I wasn't very impressed. I much prefer Nursing 2005. I do like the idea of a magazine for LPN's and I'm hoping the next issue will be

    How about this for an order?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    I always set my rate so that a bag was used in a little less than 24 hours. I don't know if bag changes q 24 was policy, but I felt more comfortable doing it that

    Patient vent about waiting for DR. appt.

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    I have to add, I wish MORE pts would complain to the DOC about the amount of wait time. Maybe they'd move a little bit quicker. It's not odd at all for a pt to arrive early, wait an hour for a room...

    Patient vent about waiting for DR. appt.

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an office where the docs are all salaried, and that makes a big difference. If they know they have to see the pts to keep food on the table, they are more efficient. Our docs are incredibly...

    IV in AC

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, I've always felt the same way. I hate AC IV's. When I transferred to an office, I had to learn to draw blood, with the preferred site being AC. I have never and will never put an IV in the AC...
