Ok so we got nurses killing patients, sleeping with inmates and using their patients dilaudud but hold on, Blondie RN caught someone using scabies cream and her conscience is just weighing her down ?

1) your fiancee sounds like an *******. I would say don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Been married to a man like that, kicked him out after 10 agonizing years. 2) do people secure jobs without graduating yet? This is definitely...

First of all I see that you don't want to pass medications and document. I think I feel that that skill is going to be the Baseline of new nurses.. everyone is going to start somewhere before they get to their OR job or ICU job or what have you. I co...

Oh Lord such an EMT mentality.

I would have asked "so can I have my CPR card now?" In reality many nurses really get better at CPR in the field watching other people. Because as long as you're not by yourself it's unlikely you'll run a code. Hopefully the first few times you'll ob...

I have a back pack which in the car my car thinks it's a person and beeps until I have the seat belt on it. -carrying case with electronic BP cuff, spo2, temporal thermometer -manual bp cuff -stethescope -pen case like the zipper school bag -binder ...

At least working with a male nurse gives you something nice to stare at.

For the record - as a victim of molestation from a male relative I would not want a strange male catherizing me. No offense to him. It took me years to have sex without flashbacks, it took years to open my legs to my female NP gyn, and it would take ...

I work 8 hours, 7 days a week. Been doing it a month now, I'm pretty tired :/

Stop telling them it's for the summer... You're not cutting ties. Let them know you have something else going on and you loved the time spent there and you'd like them to consider you in the future. I was a store manager before I was a LPN, I rehired...

Georgia - SNF - $17-$20 per hour

Alcohol is not illegal and I doubt that they will even mention it to you. But was drinking like a goose the night before a good idea? Always expect a drug test without warning, employers are going to this for whatever reason.

Delegate to a CNA or like someone else said - park them in a geri chair in the hall. Another good idea - have them taken to ALL activities, that way they are watched and stimulated.

I have 20 blood pressure meds to give. And I have to pass meds to 36 residents and 3 g-tubes. I have 2 hours too technically be finished.I would be giving 8am meds until 2pm :/ normally on the MAR it will say check vitals, and normally the vital sign...

Reminds me of the show on Netfix "Derek" with Ricky Gervais. Comedic but heart warming bits.

Man thats crazy! Whats more simple than a PPD?

When I found my first dead resident it was one I liked very much. He went from wearing a suit to dinner to dead in 2 weeks, quite fast down hill. I cried my eyes out in the bathroom. Then I was fine and his daughter came. She said "you always took su...

All orientations are different. I had one that was 3 days ling consisting of learning and on the job stuff. I had another where we sat in a education room for 3 days straight! Then 4 days with a preceptor. Hw was yours?

I'm in Georgia. the week after my NCLEX I put in about 12 job applications in LTC, hospice, and publc health. By tge next week, 9 of them had called to interview. I was able to pick my top choices.

I work in LTC with CNA's and I'm a new nurse but I'm courteous to all my CNA's since that was me for 3 years. I try to complement my residents on the care. Like my CNA took the time to french braid a ladys hair and put her makeup on. With the 2 there...

Honey, at my old CNA job even the maids were paid more and looked down on us. All you can do is say to hell with them. You're not there for them, you're there for the residents and patients.

So I'm getting my first LPN job (Full time). I interviewed and I didn't feel it went very swimmingly but she did discuss pay and said they would call me for drug test, tb, etc. They did call me to do that today. But I have another job offer (PRN) and...

Oh lol. I've never heard of that acronym. Anyway, I dont like when people become a CNA for just a job. To really take care of all their needs you have to WANT to take the bad with with the good. You'll be changing adult diapers, cleaning up vomit, fe...

Our facility crushes all separately then combine them in 1 cup. UNLESS its tube meds, then flush separately. Ask your policy director.

God bless you. That is an act of love.
