  3. "Big Money"

    HisTreasure replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmmm...I don't think it has to be a choice: caring over income. Would I be a better nurse if I made minimum wage and needed the state to provide me food stamps to feed my children? I make $20 an...

  4. Helping with Rounds

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    I went to a facility the other night through my agency. I was put on a very small unit (13 residents) with one CNA. It was implied that the nurse would help with rounds on the 13 residents which was...

    HisTreasure replied to lori1216's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    HisTreasure replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've learned amateur videos are fun enough~ but please do not use frozen hotdogs in one of your scenes because the storyline may end early and you will have a lot of 'splainin to do to the

  11. Think I'm blackballed

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've worked for the same company since 2001 off and on. I left the first time for personal reasons (pre-nursing position) and was rehired after I got my license. I was put on a bed rest about six...

  14. Think I'm blackballed

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your insights. I am actually seeking work in venues other than ltc and oncology. I am looking for something with little to no lifting because I don't want to injure myself again....

  15. Lpn programs...whats the point!!

    HisTreasure replied to smak60's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am so sorry you are having such a hard time finding a job. I am apalled that your school would emphasize hospital nursing for LPNs. Our hospitals hire LPNs but we are mostly teaching hospitals....

  16. Do you say you're a nurse...

    HisTreasure replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I refer to myself as the nurse. When I walk on a unit a a float I am asked "Are you the nurse up here today?" not "Are you the LPN or RN up here today?" If I am asked I will say I am an LPN. I went...

  17. Hi tech vs low tech visits and pay for LPN

    HisTreasure replied to CrazyFLBean's topic in Home Health

    HisTreasure replied to Joyfullme's topic in General Nursing

    I love night shift. I normally don't do more than 3 night shifts per week although I did apply to a full time night position in chemical dependency. I hope I get it. Day shift is, well, not my cup...

    HisTreasure replied to kbswife's topic in General Nursing

    God Bless you in your time of grief. I can't speak to whom is to blame for your illness, but I do believe that it is more important that you heal than blame. The first part of healing is forgiving...

    HisTreasure replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A LOL once told me "Where are my meds, you witch?!" I said, "Mary Bell! Why would you call me such a thing? That's not very nice." She replied, "No, it's not very nice that you are one. It's perfectly...

    HisTreasure replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    HisTreasure posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner
