  2. Hyperbaric chamber tech

    orange_dolphin posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'm currently an LPN in a neurology office. Used to be in family practice for two years. I applied for a transfer for a hyperbaric technician. I had my first phone interview today. He couldn't...

  3. Two residents have refused my care

    orange_dolphin replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's a control thing, in my opinion when patients or anyone exhibits that kind of behavior. They've lost control of their bodies, health, income, and who knows what else. They make themselves feel...

  4. Hyperbaric chamber tech

    orange_dolphin replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    HouTx: Thanks for replying! They will train me, so I'm not worried about not being qualified. I like to stay busy, and I'm looking for something I think I would love doing. I'm glad to hear this...

    orange_dolphin posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in a doctor's office that is owned by a company that owns several hospitals and 100s of doctor offices in my area. We were told last week that from now on, we are not to submit a request for...

    orange_dolphin posted a topic in General Nursing

    orange_dolphin replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the link. I will read that thoroughly. Good idea with throwing it out, if there's any

  8. Preparing injections for doctor

    orange_dolphin replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a physician-owned practice. I have the okay from the administrator not to reconstitute/prepare botox injections for migraines. She hasn't said anything about the other injections I...

  9. Preparing injections for doctor

    orange_dolphin replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a physician-owned practice. It's a practice owned by a hospital. The organization has several hospitals and hundreds of doctor offices. The physician is an employee. I've already told...

  10. Preparing injections for doctor

    orange_dolphin replied to orange_dolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both. I'll no longer be drawing it up now. The reason I asked about documentation is because when I did medical transcription, the pain doctors or orthopaedic surgeons always always...

  11. Daily assignment sheet

    orange_dolphin replied to Give me a break's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would just continually work at a steady pace, take the highest priority job and work my way down, and what gets done gets done. What doesn't get done, isn't my problem.... it's the supervisor's...

    orange_dolphin replied to victoriayork's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Have you considered looking at doctor office jobs? I went back to school and got an LNP license at age 53 and had no problem getting a job in a doctor's office, even without

  13. Could this be construed as "abuse"?

    orange_dolphin replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Every patient I have who has poor muscle tone in their triceps and loose flapping skin folds complains of serious pain and some bruising. I'm guessing the skin folds cause a pinching-type pain. I...

  14. Scared about my speeding ticket and getting my lvn license denied

    orange_dolphin replied to jungyoon's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I doubt you would not get your license over this. It will probably just be a big hassle getting all the paperwork done. They have to cover their butts and document what your ticket was for, etc. If...

  16. Help, my school won't allow me to take Nclex.

    orange_dolphin replied to Jdv13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You probably have forgotten many things, enough to possibly fail NCLEX. If they're offering this help to pass for free, you should jump on it! It's a win-win for you and the school. I thought the...

    orange_dolphin posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

  18. Thinking about changing from Cardio to Family Care

    orange_dolphin replied to kcmartin97's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in Family Practice, and I can truthfully say there are very few kids! I go a month or so before seeing one. It's not that big of a

  19. Is it worth going to school for LPN (2014)?

    orange_dolphin replied to mzsuccess's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I got my license in September and started a job in December in an Internal Medicine clinic. The pay isn't as good as in a nursing home but the work is much easier and less stressful, and they offer...

  20. Is it possible to work as a nurse while experiencing tinnitus?

    orange_dolphin replied to orange_dolphin's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Latestnight, I'm happy to say my tinnitus subsided. I still have it, but it's not near as bad as it was. I'm working now as an LPN in a big Internal Medicine group. I was feeling pretty bad when I...

    orange_dolphin replied to Holly86's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm glad you have a contract. I'm a nursing student and have been wondering how that would go down if it ever happens to me. From research on the Virginia BON website, I believe the VBON states that...

  24. Do you think opportunities for nurses & midlevels will improve in 2014 r/t Obamacare?

    orange_dolphin replied to taytay05's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it will increase jobs for all medical personnel because many people don't get the medical care they need because they don't have insurance. I think the pay rates may go down because more...

  25. Unfair suspension

    orange_dolphin replied to ILoveRatties's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
