  1. pregnancy and working

    I wish you had seen the look on my sons face, it was priceless! I will be going to the doc on Monday and will be sure to bring up this stuff....last time I went I was still in shock. And my husband called me a liar at first until he realized I was no...
  2. pregnancy and working

    Hi all! Just wondering if any one had any tips for working pregnant. I am about 3 months along with my second child. My first child is almost 12, and I thought I was done with all this stuff, LOL. I am an asthmatic, have PCOS, have no natural thyroid...
  3. Rules that make you go Hmmmmm...

    Here's a hmm rule for you.... I work LTC. We have a form to fill out on every resident on antibiotic therapy, required each shift. All you have to do is write a y or n in the block next to the resident's name for the duration of the course of antibio...
  4. funniest thing you saw a nurse do.......

    When I was in nursing school, my fellow students included men and women. One of the guys was about 6'4, 290. We were paired off in clinicals the first few weeks we were "out there", and naturally he was assigned to work with the most petite woman i...
  5. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    I am working in a LTC facility in West Tennessee. I started there in January when I got my license. I started out at 12.50 an hour, .75 shift diff (2-10), and 1.00/hr attendance bonus. I asked no questions at the time, was desperate for a job and ...
  6. 66 YO Woman Gives Birth

    Now folks, I am a firm believer in having babies, but I think that if you are old enough to retire, you might want to think about NOT starting a family. Why would you bring a child into the world that you most likely will not see graduate high schoo...
  7. Calling All LPN's

    I graduated in December , just got my ATT for the N-Clex . I have an appointment for next Tuesday to take it . Now here's the deal: I don't know about the rest of you, but my school provided a N-Clex review book with a CD for my computer. I have b...

  9. 66 YO Woman Gives Birth

    I would dare say that any grandparent raising their grandchildren does it not out of out right desire to do so, but out of a sense of responsibility to the child that is neglected or abandoned by its parent. Not to say they don't love the child, and ...
  10. More Strange Baby Names

    I went to college with a woman who started her family a little late in life. After she had the baby, she showed up on campus to introduce us all to "Candy Kane Lane". Yes, she had unfortunately decided her husband's last name was justification for ...
  11. Calling All LPN's

    The way I understood the insert that came with my ATT, Tennessee does not participate in the early notification. There was a list of several states on it, but TN wasn't there. So, I have been accessing the state health care practicioner's license v...
  12. Calling All LPN's

    Ok, it's done.:chair: I took it Tuesday the 11th. I wasn't late(worry number 1, lol), started on time, got 75 questions, and it took an hour and a half. I gasped when it stopped on me, almost had a heart attack! And I know it scared some of the oth...
  13. Hair

    I am getting ready to find a nursing job, and would like some advice on hairstyles for work. I have long hair at present, and wear it either in a pony tail or in a twist, figuring it would help keep my shedded hair out of some one's food, bathwater,...
  14. Hair

    Thanks for the input...guess I need to worry about getting a job first, huh?:rotfl:
  15. spooky spooky spooky

    I have always heard that if you get a odor of roses for no reason, you are being visited by the Virgin Mary. Don't know if I believe that one or not, but I haven't smelled roses like that before, either. Though I did smell my Mamaw's powder after s...
  16. Calling All LPN's

    :angryfire As far as I know, there was only one student in the last class who had to retake the nclex. However, I was part of a "special" class that was funded by the state, and I feel they really didn't make it as hard on us as it should have been. ...
  17. What was your Pinning Ceremony like?

    I just got home from my last day of LPN school. Just before leaving the classroom, the head of the nursing department announces she has something for us. Then she proceeds to call our names and present us with our diploma and pin(double boxed, mind y...

  19. Nursing Skills

    I am an LPN student in mylast quarter, finishing in December. I have been worried if I really had the skills I need, given the hurried training we have gotten.:chair: Well, Thursday night, I got my answer. My son, age 8, came in to my room at 12 am a...
  20. Nursing Skills

    He was a little slow to wake up...but after getting to his room he was fine, except for the diarrhea. He has had remarkably little pain, and only one dose of tylenol with codiene right after we came home from the hospital the following morning. He ...
  21. You Know You're a Nurse When...

    I'm still just a student, but...... Your child wakes you at 3 am to tell you: A) I have just vomited B) I cleaned it all up C) I don't have fever D) I feel much better E) I am going back to bed And promptly doing so.:chuckle Yes, it DID happen!
  22. LPN's are Nurses Too? Aren't they?

    Just Jenn, I registered just to reply to your post. I am an LPN Student, finishing in December. I AM a nurse already, as far as I am concerned. Nursing comes from the heart and no piece of paper can make anyone a nurse if they are not. A nurse IS a p...
