  1. Does anyone really like their job?

    bsveillon replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I love my career-Nursing. I love the aspects of my job that utilize my skills. But, I rarely enjoy my job as a nurse. Reason being, we have so many money-hungry jackals running the healthcare industry...

  2. remember when...

    bsveillon replied to kjpstmb's topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, an apology of my own! I don't want you to get the impression that what you said was offensive. You came off just like you wanted to come off. You came off with dignity, respect and class,...

  3. To my preceptor, future students beware (rant)

    bsveillon replied to leekun2010's topic in General Nursing

    However, she is not only unfit to be a preceptor, but unfit to be a nurse. I wouldn't even afford her to be a CNA. In fact, maybe not even hospital security. In fact not I wouldn't afford her to . . ....

  4. remember when...

    bsveillon replied to kjpstmb's topic in Nursing Humor

    That really is NOT funny, but it made me laugh uncontrollably. I feel guilty! I think it's because it's so true how the LOGIC of HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION IS SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!! I know this is off the...

  5. Discovering how harmfull most prescribed chemicles are how do you live with yourself?

    bsveillon replied to steveogurule's topic in General Nursing

    The key to this whole discussion has already been stated quite well by a few different posters. I actually probably have no need to post, anything I say will probably be redundant. All I can say is...

  6. Ethics of Nurse/Patient Relationships

    bsveillon replied to patwil73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the scenario of Nurse Suzy and Pt B is highly unethical only for the reason that she is using information for purposes other than the reason it was gathered. That's not too

  7. What is your WORST ER story?

    bsveillon replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Emergency

    I once saw a 14-year old boy die from a drive-by shooting. All his fellow gang members carried him in, one holding the back of his head together. No, he didn't make it. That was probably the

  8. Is being an LPN REALLY that bad?

    bsveillon replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LOL believe me, it was straightened out very quickly.

  9. Is being an LPN REALLY that bad?

    bsveillon replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There is nothing wrong with it. Just expect to encounter criticism from MDs and RNs and especially APRNs. But, for the most part, it's fine. As for folks that suggest you go to be an RN, well I think...

  10. Is there a nursing shortage or not?

    bsveillon replied to nurse.sandi's topic in General Nursing

    Down here in South Louisiana there is a nursing shortage. Partly because we have more LPNs than RNs, but no one seems to want LPNs in hospitals anymore. Just in my city, 5 of the 7 hospitals have no...

  11. StARTED LVN SCHOOL! IDK

    bsveillon replied to TXLVNSTUDENT12's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes this is common! If it were just a breeze, then you wouldn't be learning very much would you? Just take your time, stay around encouraging people and encourage yourself! If you need any help, let...

  12. Hospital demotes LPN's to CNA's

    bsveillon replied to anjule18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    R.N.s also have an option to go back to school to be APRNs- so let's phase all the r.n.s out for APRNs. That sounds fair!!!!!!!!! This is insane. Just because you're not not in the same position, you...

  13. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    bsveillon replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Not that it was a "Danger" to the patient per se, but I did know of a nurse who was caught having "intimate relations" with a patient, yes, while he was under her care. Just a little unethical, don't...

  14. LPN Scope of practice/Picc lines-just moved to Indiana

    bsveillon replied to krissiee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Agreed!

  15. Providence Hospital Mobile, Alabama

    bsveillon replied to Allusion's topic in Alabama Nursing

    You don't want to work at providence----TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!! Especially as an

  16. What do patients say that irks you?

    bsveillon replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I always tell them that it is of no consequence to me how the bill is paid, however, if you've waited nine months for this day, surely a few more hours won't kill

  17. What do patients say that irks you?

    bsveillon replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOLOLOL I've actually used the "Holiday Inn" quote the other day! The patient's family wasn't

  18. Stigma with LTC

    bsveillon replied to Derek1975's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I guess for me, it's hard to see some of these patients get neglected by their families. I KNOW IT'S NOT ALL PATIENTS!!! I know that just because your family is in LTC it doesn't mean you've forsaken...

  19. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    bsveillon replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    OH NO! You can NOT make me believe a Doctor did this! Not an almighty

  20. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    bsveillon replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I totally get your point. We've all made our mistakes, but, I guess, I was always so terrified of making a major, irreversible error, my mistakes were more aggravating than actually dangerous. Not...

  21. Difficult Doctors...Vent

    bsveillon replied to joanna73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, all I can say is, something needs to be done. I can't tell you to do what I would do, because I don't know what your outcome would be! But I know, I've risked disciplinary action(and received...

  22. A floor nurse's rambling late night rant.

    bsveillon replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    Nailed it on the head. I wish folks would open up their eyes! Patient satisfaction is no where near the patient's well being! What can I say? You've said it

  23. Does This Sound About Right . . . . . .

    bsveillon replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what part of the country. Here, in south Louisiana, all nursing jobs are pretty steady. The R.N.s, however, are in extremely high demand. Well-qualified LPNs are in great demand as well....

  24. do employers care if you are on xanax?

    bsveillon replied to JM RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just don't mention it. Ever! Not even in general conversation after you get the job. We all know that people judge. And in the medical profession, we have the least excuse to judge, but sadly, people...
