    jannecdote replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    It's odd. A nurse at work was telling me about people doing this and the very next day I read this post. It never ceases to amaze me that people can come up with something warped or gross to

  2. $12 an hour?!

    jannecdote replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've got to put my two cents worth in. Starting med/surg in 1993, I made $7.09 base pay in the Delta area of Arkansas and after 3 1/2 years, my salary was $7.67. Next, across the bridge from Memphis...

    jannecdote replied to rosieseattle's topic in General Nursing

  5. ARE THERE ANY NURSES OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY "ENJOY" or HAPPY WITH THEIR JOB.

    jannecdote replied to dream8's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this totally. Like any other job, you have to learn how to deal with lots of different personality types.. There's just such a variety of personalities in this job to deal with: patients,...

    jannecdote replied to organic_matter's topic in General Nursing

    jannecdote replied to hotcoffee1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  9. Nursing School Bloopers

    jannecdote replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a patient tell me once that she was allergic to plastic and couldn't drink from the water pitcher we provided. I gave her a styrofoam cup of iced water instead. When I came into the room awhile...

  15. Do LPN's get the pay they deserve?

    jannecdote replied to Pedsnrs2003's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Hospital policies vary as does the scope of practice an LPN is allowed under those policies. Notwithstanding, an RN has upmost responsibility for those she/he is charging, but a...

    jannecdote replied to boulergirl's topic in General Nursing

    When I started my current job, I had several years of med/surg under my belt and was confident in my nursing skills. That was a plus for me, because there was a group of nurses who were always...
