    sidroc replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

    sidroc replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

  3. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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

  9. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  12. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

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

  13. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  15. LPNs Often Fare Better Than Some Degree Earners

    sidroc replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you so wish, I would only agree with the poster because she mentions useless degrees like 4 year psych degrees that lead to no jobs. However, the implications of many of the responses have been...

  16. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I already clarified. I apologize for not being as clear on on this particular matter the first time around, but my follow up was sufficient. As with anything else in a good debate, you have zoomed in...

  17. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Washington State seems requires this. ,I have heard the BON made the move and have never heard of a college in the state that did not require it. I could be wrong on it being a state requirement but...

  18. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You misinterpret my use of the word class. I meant it to denote their levels of education, not the class of the individual. Studies show for example that the quality of care has a direct correlation...

  19. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I understand your criticism, As for starting as an Aid first, my state requires working as an AID by law before being accepted to a ADN or BSN program and I feel that the best hospital nurses back it...

  20. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I do not pride myself as having a higher intellect than a LPN, nor have I alluded to it. I am a CNA starting a ADN program and do not know more than a LPN. What I will say is that it is a travesty...

  21. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I will say this, the LPN's that I felt where competent generally weren't from vocational programs. I think the rise in vocational programs has created a situation not seen 20 years ago were an LPN can...

    sidroc replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My State (Washington) has done a massive phase out of lpns in hospitals. Providence wont hire LPNS for example and neither will Swedish. You might encounter grandfathered LPN's in Washington, but not...

    Liscensure levels mean allot to hospitals and the state and generally the BON and should mean allot to the nurse. It can signify alot about you and what it signifies is the reason hospitals have in...
