:yeah:This is me clapping for you to say thanks for all that you do,because above everything else it is obvious you have a huge heart and a nurse's soul. I know what I am gonna say will sound ludicrous in reality,but you need to set some boundaries. ...

Wow,where to begin! First off you are so full of anger and resentment,you need to talk with someone or share at a meeting and let it go,none of it will help in your recovery and it will absolutely hinder getting a job! IPN has tough rules and regs be...

Well the good news is I am allowed to start looking for a job!!!! WOOHOO....so now the terrifying part,the interviews! What I need feedback on is how to answer about almost three years of not working as a nurse so I had time to truly get a handle on ...

I know it's tough to come to grips with all that is coming down on you now, but one day at a time does help! Start the IPN process,get the eval,and be totally honest! Since you didn't divert you probably won't get a narcotic restriction,which makes f...

When I worked Tele we had 5 nurses named sheila. We all had different spellings and such,but for overhead or when tracking us down,we had to come up with something,or 5 nurse Sheila's would answer every page! 1. I became "Irish"Sheilagh(I am and I lo...

Hey ya'll,I was just wondering about caduceus groups. I found listings in other cities,but none in my area. I am going to try to find some info on how to get one started. So, basically I'm putting feelers out to see if anyone else would be interested...

Wow..... I hadn't realized how much different these groups can be. I assumed it was a 12 step for healthcare professionals only,same as women only meetings. Thank you to all who posted,I will proceed carefully Sheilagh-taking one day at a time

That was an excellent article,their is so much to explore on this topic. I am bringing copies to my nursing support group,thank you for posting it!

I was just wondering,why do you do shifts as a C.N.A??? I am not trying to downplay the C.N.A's, was just curious why as an L.P.N you would do shifts for less money...???

Lol,all my mind kept thinking was... " EWWWWW,on the floor????":eek: A hospital floor is the last place I'd be hitting it, I don't care if Brad Pitt or Hugh Jackman wanted me! (If they do want me and happen to read this....call me! ) ;)Sigh

Smoker,Republican in views of financial government issues... But the government DOES NOT belong in my bedroom:angryfire Keep religion out of government separation of church and state sound familiar??? But it's said with lots of love and tolerance...:...

:loveya:Sunny,I'm sending you lots of love and support. I well remember the utter terror you feel,OMG the world is crashing! You are alive,you have 2 kids who need a clean and sane mother. You have done the hardest,which is admitted you have a proble...

Ok,I'll show my ignorance...beast with two backs??? I'm guessing that's a reference to sex,but one I have not heard before Sheepishly, Sheilagh

Yup,venipuncture is for me...I love IV starts and drawing blood...I will actually look in movies or if I'm out somewhere and notice veins. I'll be like,"Damn I could start him blindfolded!":yeah: Also love autopsies,the human body is amazing...GO Dr....

I love when these threads get started,they always give me a laugh! Scenario: Me as nursing student A.M care for resident with c-diff Learned quickly what c-diff was:imbar After cleaning her 6 times thought I was good to go Turned her to reposition in...

Hey everyone! I do check in everyday,but don't post much because one of my many problems is making it about me,so didn't want to overtake the board,lol. Hopefully everyone is just busy working their recovery with outside sources,praying for no relaps...

Whatever degree we as nurses have achieved,we are still just that,NURSES! My frustration stems from when I look to join professional organizations or seek certain certifications and am told NO you can't join and know we will not impart our knowledge ...

I did not want this to become a L.P.N vs R.N thread. The point I was trying to make is that ALL information should be available to all nurses for the betterment of patient care. If you want to have certification guidelines be my guest. Just don't tel...

Alot of insurance companies wouldn't care if ya hop,skip or jump in to work when it comes to phone triage,QA follow up,wellness calls etc... In fact I know of 2 nurses who Humana just allowed them to work from home,cost efficient for the company and ...

:angryfire I would report them somehow,although as an instructor once said in school about CYA " Doctors make money for the hospital,nurses cost them money" . I had a ct done after an accident,was told all clear by radiologist that read it,and 18hrs ...

Congratulations!!! I can't even express how happy I am for you,I hope to be there some day. :yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

Do not feel badly,we have all had that type of manipulative pt,and you may have actually saved him more pain in the long run! by him continuously having the condom changed or maneuvered he could easily have irritated the skin to the point of an open ...

Caduceus group is a recovery group for healthcare professionals. Really doesn't matter what your addiction,it is a place where those with our work environments can come together and share.
