  1. Grammar help, PLEASE!!!!

    Dixiedi replied to Ted1's topic in General Nursing

    In this case, I would think, there would be a lot more to transcribe in that sentence! If this were the case, we would have a "for-real" compound sentence! A real PIA to break

  2. long time away from nursing!

    Dixiedi replied to sparkyluv's topic in General Nursing

    How could she work for an agency Unless you mean in a non-nursing capacity. Shame you weren't licensed in Ohio, at least for the next (about) year, the only thing you would need is current CEU...

  3. Dress or scrubs? Females ONLY!!!!

    Dixiedi replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    As I read the other posts, it became obvious that personal preference should have nothing to do with it. All nurses should wear pants, even you cross-dressing guys (hehehe - oh come on, it's a crude...

  4. Nurses who smoke

    Dixiedi replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Doesn't hurt a soul to get the frustrations out in here. Yea, I get tired of hearing non-smokers blaming smokers and cigarette manufacturers for every ill that affects the lung. Hell, I'm suprised...

  5. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Dixiedi replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    i still stand by it being the lpns responsibility first and foremost. i still maintain a reasonable and prudent nurse would not have ignored one of her patients for at least 4 hours. come on! she...

  6. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Dixiedi replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it was the LPNs resposibility to care for this man. She was assigned to him. His care was within the LPN scope of practice. The RN, unfortunately is resposible for the actions or inactions...

  7. Nurses who smoke

    Dixiedi replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When I am sitting at a counter at the local deli and a non smoker is eating there, I ask them if my smoking will bother them. I do not ask if there is no food on the counter. I have the right to...

    Dixiedi replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    let me then add... i do smoke, it casues me no problems and it is proven to cause no one else any problem other than "it's unpleasant." i am allergic to many things. many colognes, perfumes, soaps and...

    Dixiedi replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

  11. Nurses who smoke

    Dixiedi replied to Fivestar22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    i guess you haven't been keeping up with the results of the multitude of smoking research. it has been proven that second hand smoke does not damage a non smoker. i will agree that the smoke itself is...

  12. still wanting to be a nurse after failing twice in an RN program

    Dixiedi replied to Purple Princess's topic in Nursing Career

    I've already stated that these are the two programs I compared. Your program might very well be different. 20 or 25 years ago there was a movement in Ohio to make BSN and above Professional Nurses....

  13. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

    Dixiedi replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Only thing I disagree with there is ... I never have sweat it out. No reason to. Read it, do it. I am very lucky there. Got a brain like a trap. Yes, I know I am very lucky. I know many people who...

  15. Distance learning LVN to RN

    Dixiedi replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you again... I did find it when I looked specifically for it. Payments aren't bad. I think I have a doable option! Do you know how the clinical is handled? Can I start paying for it immediately...

  16. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

    Dixiedi replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Actually yes I am saying the LPNs from my school get more nursing education than the ADN nurses in my community, at least at that time. The hospital school of PN I went to no longer exsists so I have...

  17. Distance learning LVN to RN

    Dixiedi replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks again. I didn't see the "pay as you go" link... I'll go look for it now... I am aware of the assorted costs needed. And it sure will be nice to be able to give it a go on a monthly thing....

    Dixiedi replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  21. Do LPNs Get the Respect They Deserve?

    Dixiedi replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    At this point in time it's almost a funny story. 30 years ago when I was a student LPN, a classmate asked the instructor a question. I don't even remember what it was now but I do remember her answer....

  22. still wanting to be a nurse after failing twice in an RN program

    Dixiedi replied to Purple Princess's topic in Nursing Career

    Is it the instrictors not providing the info needed or you not receiving the info they are providing. You must be able to answer that question to yourself truthfully before deciding what to do next....
