1. Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

   sidroc replied to whitecat5000's topic in Safety

   I was working on a response that was eerily similar to this one but you beat me to the punch, this is exactly how it works and even if the nurses in this thread are not like this, they need to recognise were this problem originates from. To the nurse...

2. Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

   sidroc replied to whitecat5000's topic in Safety

   Its quite amusing to read nurses discuss the importance of charting the first vital set when not a single place I have worked at including hospitals and supervisor staff has said anything more than "chart the best vitals you got and monitor". So many...

3. Little Brother

   sidroc replied to SoldierNurse22's topic in Oncology

   This was incredibly touching. It saddens me watching patients trying to answer the question "why me?". Those heartfelt moments when you are able to reach out, connect with a patient are one of my biggest motivations. Thanks for the beatiful story!

4. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

   sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

   That's a straw man argument. When you make a statement of fact here, it's really expected that you've done your homework and can readily point us in the direction of actual links to real information from unbiased sources. You've done none of that. ...

5. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

   sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

   These studies are talking about RN's vs other nursing staff and it is not using RN to refer to LPN.

6. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

   sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

   First of all, How I got my sources is not of concern the information contained is. My ProQuest account is currently inaccessible so I did the best I could. Second, they directly address the problem of RN staff vs LPN and other staff. Thirdly, if I ga...

8. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

   I have done that.

9. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

   sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

   So scholarly journals are now not sources of reliable information? I will remember that on the next big breakthrough in medical technology and I expect you to call it wrong.

10. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

    I do judge it that way, but I would never go up to another member of staff and belittle them, although everyone who has asked me my opinion at work I have been honest with and I was yelled at by more than one LPN. But that all changed working in a ho...

    I can post more later if wanted.

12. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

    So the studies are bogus because you think you can disprove their methodology?

13. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

    Why would I belittle my coworkers? Ad hominems are not called for here. Again, care to answer to any points I have made?

14. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

    You say that, and yet have done little to rebuttal my main point of facilities with more RN's than LPN's having higher levels of patient care.

15. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN/LVN

    I dont think I am superior to anyone, as far as my plan goes, I could die tomrorow and it will be all for naught, or it could work and make me successful. Aiming personal attacks at me does not change anything about the statistics of RN to liscensed ...
