  1. BSN or LPN? soon to be mom

    SweetBabyLPN replied to peppapig123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an LPN and I say if you can afford to do the BSN AND have support while doing so. . . GO FOR IT!! Absolutely! My circumstances didn't allow me that option but if I could've, I would've. I enjoy...

  3. RN assigned as a CNA

    SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    IDK. I guess maybe i'm so opposed to it because the idea is just foreign to me. I've never really heard of this practice, let alone seen it and I don't (personally) know anyone who has. Maybe it's a...

  4. RN assigned as a CNA

    SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think that's really dependant upon location, facility and/or union (or lack thereof) membership. Of course if you live in a 'right to work state', then Yes, you absolutely would run the risk...

  5. RN assigned as a CNA

    SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't miss it. Just didn't see the point in adressing it since if that LPN was anything like this LPN, she refused the assignment. They try to get over on who they think will let them get away with...

  6. RN assigned as a CNA

    SweetBabyLPN replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    You have the right to downright REFUSE an assignment you don't feel comfortable with. Your Nurse Manager may not like it, but that is your right. Next time, when you express your discomfort with an...

  7. NCSBN commercial

    SweetBabyLPN replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. What a shame that we as nurses don't even have our OWN backs. .

  10. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    SweetBabyLPN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You're right. Plus I said the third box could be oranges and Not_A_Hat_Person already said oranges were pulled. Good Look.

  11. need some advise regarding workplace harassment

    SweetBabyLPN replied to hardware syndrome's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, sorry. I just realized you're from Canada. Not quite sure how things work up there. .

  12. need some advise regarding workplace harassment

    SweetBabyLPN replied to hardware syndrome's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like they're trying to punish you for filing that grievance. If I were you, I would DEFINITELY get my union rep involved but I would also start looking for a new job ASAP! There is not much...

  13. Take job offer or keep looking?

    SweetBabyLPN replied to ChloBear's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you really need the income, I would take it in the meantime just to have a source of income, but still keep job hunting. While you are there, if you feel like some of their practices could put your...

  14. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    SweetBabyLPN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily, because the orange you pulled could have still been part of the mixed box and you just happened to have pulled an orange as opposed to an apple. Assuming however that the orange is...

  15. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    SweetBabyLPN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    EEESH!! I think if you answered that way, they would find you to be indecisive and not hire you!! Lol!! I had an interview the other day where I was asked what my worst quality/weakness was and I had...

  16. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    SweetBabyLPN replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OMG!!!! I just looked it

  17. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    SweetBabyLPN replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Forgive my ignorance (I was only alive for 2yrs of his presidency! lol!), but what are baby doe laws? I've never heard of

  18. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    SweetBabyLPN replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am (for the most part) a socially conservative, fiscally liberal Democrat. :D:D Actually, to my despair, I have been finding that as I get older, I have been having more conservative views than I...

  19. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Fourfecta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not too keen on disclosing my location but I can share with you that I live in the southeastern part of the country. If it's that serious to you, feel free to research it. This law/policy (or...

  21. Anyone know of any good LPN to RN online schools?

    SweetBabyLPN replied to lynnie88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    sigh. . . .

  22. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Fourfecta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well I know where I live, NP's can do more than PA's. PA's can't write orders for any injectables, i.e. Insulin, Lovenox, Procrit, etc. . There are also a ton of forms they can't sign and many other...

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Tela's topic in General Nursing

    You're right. I repeated it out loud and it did sound off.

  24. Critique my admission essay PLEASE & Thank you!

    SweetBabyLPN replied to Tela's topic in General Nursing

    So, I don't want to suggest major changes to your paper (i.e. add or remove phrases) because if you put it there, you want it there. But, I'm sort of a grammar buff so that's mostly what I caught....

  25. Anyone know of any good LPN to RN online schools?

    SweetBabyLPN replied to lynnie88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    agldragonRN, like I said, maybe I didn't get the full story on why she wasn't reimbursed. And I already said that those of you who went to Excelsior should be proud because I believe it is difficult....
