SweetBabyLPN

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 being an LPN and I make a very good income but one ...

WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's an amazing feeling isn't it?! Hopefully That'll be me in a coupla' semesters! Sigh. . . Jealous! LOL! Luckily, you already know all the ups and downs nursing school comes with so you can prepare for that. Stay focuse...

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 hospital practice? (I work sub-acute). Either way I...

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 of getting fired. I'm just saying that everyone els...

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 it and in this case, the OP was their sucker. Sor...

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 assignment and explain why and she just says "what d...

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

I wouldn't do it.

hey all! i just read this on yahoo and balked!! if i had to answer these interview questions, i would never get/have a job!! these are the top 25 craziest interview questions asked in 2010!! here we are in a supposed "recession" and employers have th...

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

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

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 your union would be able to do unless those incidents...

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 license in jeapordy, then hey, you could always r...

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 from the mixed box, the box labeled orange could be ...

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 a really hard time answering. She had to help me a...

OMG!!!! I just looked it up!!

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

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 would care to admit publicly! LOL! But I think d/t m...

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 whatever it is) I think must be pretty new as we were ...

again, "where i live. . . ". i'm sure it varies by state.

sigh. . . . nurses

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 things that the NP's can do that the PA's can't. A...

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

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. Here goes: (2nd sentence, 4th paragragh) To say "I dr...

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. (Even though I don't believe people expect to be s...
