Hi there, I am here to ask a question, if you have problems with your cna's and you are the LPN in charge, no charge nurse, just you on the floor in a facility, like where I work, and after 2 months you still are having trouble, disrespect including ...

Good luck! You can do this. I graduated this year and have landed a great job on top of it. What to do to prepare, well, where are your weaknesses? Like are you not so good at english, math, etc., because normally you will have to take a pre-exam...

Really....you know what really is quite funny...not the laughing kind of funny though...that rude cna's that treat their nurses like crap, don't speak when spoken to, walk on the unit as if they own the place, rude behavior and offensive attitude are...

Liked that, but if the CNA's and others in the workplace of taking care of people would just realize that NURSES do so much more than just push meds and hand out pills to everyone! It's not about just giving a pill and walking away, its our job, its...

Sorry to have chapped you! I am fairly new there, and yes, my superior has just recently told me that this person is like this, so it tells me that they, my superiors are not going to change anything nor do anything about this...I will speak up when...

Never and I say Never talk about others, including clinical experience using names of any kind, not even a nickname because I have found, the world is very small and someone always knows the other! Sorry you got kicked out, but you know the Hippa L...

You have to be kidding me, right....that it bit you because of the insubordination! I am being very careful, but also documenting everything, and I mean everything!!!! I will not do anything about it, I have heard though, that this person has alway...

If the facility has no policy in place or other nurses do not also do the same (asking the cna's to let us know when they need to smoke, or leave the unit or floor) then I am the only one stuck in a bad position, alot of resentment because I would th...

I pray everyday for this one aide not to be there when I work.....terrible, but she is rudest person I know!

Is this really happening elsewhere? I too have this problem with one person in particular and I don't like confrontations myself, but being an LPN I want the job done and done right. I also am a pretty newbie at nursing and this particular job but ...

I have to comment on this one....I work in a facility that for assisted living and we have dementia also there. I say to you about this...what you are talking about is so common I am over it where I work. I get attitude, people missing and no one c...

I am really not trying to be mean or be having them work any harder than they already do, but this one particular situation the patient was not well, the patient was dizzy, did not have steady gait, and was hallucinating, so I withheld a prn for pain...

Hi there everyone....I am ranting at this point in my day. I was approached by an aide that wanted me to PRN a resident and because of the condition the resident was in I did not give any other prn's and the aide gave me lip, actually, she was rude,...

Question, I work in a facility where it is assisted living, the residents have dementia though...so we must assist and most cannot tell you for sure information if you need it, such as when did you last bath, when did you use the bathroom, etc., they...

I met with a friend of mine, who is also an LPN and she explained to me that our facility is not long term it is difference in asst. living and I should have a more relaxed approach to everything, however, what happened regarding meds was that I expl...

Newly licensed LPN here....is there a list that I can compile from a website that anyone has on alphabetical list of narcotics....it seems that I had to put away the narcs that came in our facility one night and do not know all my meds., is there a l...

Thank you so much for updating me on electroinics that are great for new nurses. I am so easily exciteable when something happens where I work, I need to chill and remain calm, but being a new nurse, not being what I call seasoned nurse is hard at t...

so here i am, again upset....i totally have been trying to find peace with this person i work with, lay off a little and don't be so hard on getting things done, but when i ask a question, not state to do a job, i then get disrespect...what the heck....

Assisted Living but I have decided to take a backseat in this whole thing. A friend nurse came to me and we talked, I am not in a ltf where I need to be so head strong. I can take a breath and allow things to just flow. I am apologizing for being...

My story comes straight from the heart, my heart! I work in an assisted living facility where I am basically a newby, I started my job less than a month ago. I have found that each day I go to work I want to give more and more of myself to the resi...

I am wondering, do I need a IPod or IPad for nursing. I want something I can download apps to for nursing such as the ones you suggested then take to work with me. I want something to fit in pocket as well. No one likes to carry large items while ...

Thanks to you that replied about the disrespect I have gotten. I am unsure of where to write someone up at my facility, don't even know if I can....silly...but we are not long term, we are assisted living. There are some rules, but some just get pa...

Thank you guys, I use my book all the time! I don't like having to look up every medication from the back then thumbing thru to find it in the book, I wish these books were in alphabetical order to drugs....no hunting then! I am getting used to the...

HELLO....are we in the real world here? I laugh, thinking we went to school to earn a bit of respect for our titles! I think we deserve, LPN's and RN's deserve the respect!!! If a team is not working together, it sucks....really! I have this goin...

Hello, Hang in there....you need to know first of all that alot of other people are also in your position. As an LPN I can feel where you are coming from. I get no respect from the aids where I work, well, backup, a couple of them that is. They ar...
