Thank you all for your posts. I had a meeting with my nurse manager today and well let's just say im the one who walked out with a write up. For those of you who said I just put up with it and get a tough skin, must not have had to put up with being called racial slurs for most of your life. My mom is white. I have never heard my 85 year old WHITE grandma use derogatory terms like this one. To those of you who said that I should not put up with it anymore, Thankyou. Im beginning my job search now.

Hello, I am a 20 year old black female working in a LTC. And ready to give up nursing all together. Almost daily I am called the n-word and other derogatory names by residents. I have had it. I don't know what else to do. These residents do not have dementia. Any advice would be appreciated. Thankyou.

I was 18 when I finished my LPN. Got my license 3 weeks after I turned 19. I will graduate next month with my ADN, and hopefully take the NCLEX before I am 20.

I am getting ready to graduate from the RN program next month. The first year, I worked 10-6. This year I am an LPN. So I have worked 6p-6a. I have worked anywhere from 32-50 hours per week. Being only 18 when I started school, it was hard to give up my social life. It can be done. I wouldn't have done it any other way. Good luck to you.

I can handle almost anything. I once had a pt who vomited partially digested taco salad. GROSS!! And the smell of GI bleed.

I have a 76 year old male patient who had a left TKA one day ago and will have the right one done next week. He had a MI in 1991 and is stable on low dose aspirin and antihypertensives. He has arithitis. His albumin level was 3.3 and he recieved 500 ml Albumin 5% today. I came up with Acute Pain, Risk for Injury, and Impaired Physical Mobility. I am at a loss for the as related too and another dx. My instructor suggests only to do something with the albumin. His BMI is 24.9, so he's not "imbalanced nutrition less than" Any help would be appreciated.

I am also entering my final semester of RN school, and just as terrified. I'm exctited to be done but at the same time scared that I won't know enough
