  1. My baby's poo

    pink_shoes99 replied to raynienatasha's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In their defense, I had zero baby experience when I had my child, so I was afraid at first to do anything without guidance...but you learn

  2. How to deal with no sleep?

    pink_shoes99 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I am a fairly new nurse (still in my first year) and was wondering if you have any advice on how to confidently take care of patients while being extremely tired. I am very nervous as it...

  4. Think I committed career suicide...

    pink_shoes99 replied to oneflyLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So sorry about your situation. I don't know the right answer, but it seems as though your only solution is to go back to school. The way things are right now, finding a decent job as an LPN is...

  5. Fake Nurses

    pink_shoes99 replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    I get extremely annoyed in my urgent care clinic when a patient comes in and the x-ray tech runs up and grabs the chart before I can and says "Hello Patient, my name is ----, I'm going to be the nurse...

  7. Why does medicine come out of the injection site?

    pink_shoes99 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. PCT/HCT/CNA What is the difference ?

    pink_shoes99 replied to sincerelyjane's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Where I live a patient care tech doesn't require any licensure or type of training and that makes them basically a lower paid, untrained CNA. As far as an HCT---never heard of it. However I have heard...

  9. Kids, meds, and everything else

    pink_shoes99 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Kids have always been my weakness. I love them, but I don't want to be their nurse. To be quite honest, I'm scared of them. And I don't know alot about them. I am a float nurse and sometimes I have to...

  10. Lvn uneligible for rehire

    pink_shoes99 replied to Pumpkins09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some places have a time period for which you can reapply (some 1 year, some 2 years), but if they remember your name, I'd say an interview is unlikely. We all get stuck in binds sometimes, but we have...

    pink_shoes99 replied to FRN2511's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    pink_shoes99 replied to clvjacksonlpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It took me a few months to find a job after I graduated, I took one I really didn't want and I am beginning to hate it, but you have to do what you have to do. The hospitals around here rarely hire...

  14. What ridiculous things have you seen happen in the workplace?

    pink_shoes99 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This may be too broad of a question, but what crazy things have you seen happen in your workplace or seen another employee do? From the nurses who don't wear gloves...to the patients who bring you...

  15. Dove uniforms? there must be a cheaper way!

    pink_shoes99 replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We used Dove too..and I hated them! They are good quality but it felt like I was wearing wool scrubs because they are so thick. A few of the girls snuck and got Cherokees and our instructor never...

  21. How is this fair?

    pink_shoes99 replied to pink_shoes99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
